【推荐1】There was once a lonely girl who was thirsty for love. One day, while she was walking in a forest, she found two weak birds. She took them home and put them in a small cage(笼子). She cared for them with love and the birds grew strong. Every morning, they greeted her with a wonderful song. The girl felt great love for the birds.

One day the girl left the door of the cage open. One of the two birds wanted to fly. She was afraid that he would fly away. As the larger and stronger bird flew close, she caught him quickly. She was glad at her success in catching the bird. But quickly she felt the bird had something wrong. She opened her hand and stared at the dead bird with her mouth open wide. She held him too tight(紧), and the bird died in her hand. She knew that her love had killed him and she cried sadly.

The other bird was moving back and forth(来回地) in the cage. She knew he wanted very much to fly in the clear blue sky. So she lifted him from the cage and threw him softly into the air. The bird circled once, twice, three times… The girl watched happily at the bird’s enjoyment. She was no longer worried about her loss. She wanted the bird to be happy. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. He sang the sweetest song that she had never heard.

【推荐3】“Hi, mommy, what are you doing?” asked Susie.

“I’m making a dinner for Mrs. Smith next door” said her mother. “Why?” asked Susie, a six-year-old girl.

“Because Mrs. Smith is very sad, she lost her daughter and has a broken heart. We need to take care of her.”

“Why, mommy?”

“You see Susie, when someone is sad, he or she has trouble doing the little things like making dinner or other easy things. Because Mrs. Smith is our neighbor, we need to do some things to help her. Mrs. Smith won’t ever be able to talk with her daughter, hug her, or do all those wonderful things that mommies and daughters do together. You are a very smart girl, Susie, maybe you’ll think of some ways to take care of her.”

Susie thought seriously about what she could do to take care of Mr. Smith. A few minutes later, Susie knocked on her door. Mrs. Smith answered the knock.

Mrs. Smith looked as though she might have been crying. “What can I do for you, Susie?” asked Mrs. Smith. “My mommy says that you lost your daughter and you’re very very sad with a broken heart.” Susie held her hand out shyly. In it was a Band-Aid(创可贴).” This is for your broken heart,” Mrs. Smith held back her tears. She hugged Susie and said with tears, “Thank you, darling girl, this will help a lot.”

Mrs. Smith accepted Susie’s kindness. She bought a small picture frame (相框). She placed Susie’s Band-Aid in the frame to remind herself to heal (治愈) a little every time she saw it. She wisely knows that healing takes time and support.

Nepal is said to be “the kingdom of snow mountains”. It’s a great country for hiking. What’s more, its historical and cultural sites are well worth visiting. So when is the best time to visit Nepal?

Nepal has unusual geography! Mt. Qomolangma, the highest point on Earth, is partly in the north of Nepal, while Terai Plain is the lowest point at 70 meters above sea level. For such a huge altitude drop, nowhere else on earth could you find it. Because of its unique topography (地形), you will find in Nepal five climate zones. There are also five seasons in Nepal: autumn, winter, spring, summer and the monsoon (雨季).

The autumn months of October and November are the perfect time to travel to Nepal. During this period, you’ll see bluer and clearer skies. This period is the best time for adventure tours.

The temperature begins to drop in December and January. Winter is perfect for visiting the Chitwan National Park in the south of Nepal. You will get the best chance to see rhinos (犀牛) as well as Bengal tigers and elephants in the wild of Nepal’s forest.

During the springtime, from February to April, temperatures slowly go up. The days are longer and are perfect for hiking and adventure (探险) tours.

May, however, pushes the temperature a bit higher. The real summer is quickly cut short by the beginning of the monsoon season. The monsoon wind from the Indian Ocean begins to bring in rain showers from mid-June until September. You can expect around 3 to 4 hours of rain every day during this season.

In what ways has global warming changed our world? Rising sea levels, melting glaciers (冰川) and bad weather are just a few examples. But did you know that global warming can also bring other long-term changes?

Less racial (种族的) differences

Global warming makes many places hotter and drier, where people have more difficulties finding food. Therefore, people have to move to other parts of the world. One result of this is gene flow (基因流动). This term describes the mixing of genes between populations. Scott Solomon, a biologist at Rice University in the US, told the Daily Mail.

In just 125 years, there may be fewer people with dark skin or pale skin. More people will have brown-colored skin.

Making insects hungrier

According to Science Daily, when it is warmer, insects’ body temperatures go up along with the outside temperature.

Higher body temperatures can increase the insects’ metabolism (新陈代谢). This makes them hungrier, so they need to eat more.

Helping scientists find historic sites (历史遗迹)

Many places see very dry and hot summers because of global warming. The dry weather makes it easier for scientists to notice the signs of historic sites. That’s because grass that grows above historic sites has a different color and height from other grass.
