Original:

My neighbor's children love playing hide-and-seek as all children do, but no one imagine that

a game they played last week would be reported in the local newspaper.

One afternoon, they were playing in the vacant lot down the corner. Young Paul, who is only

five

years

old,

found

the

perfect

place

to

hide.

His

sister,

Natalie,

had

shut

her

eyes

and

was

counting to ten when Paul noticed the storage mail box at the corner and saw that the metal door

was standing open. The mailman had just taken out several sacks of mail and had carried them to

his truck which was standing at the curb a few feet away. Paul climbed into the storage box and

pulled

the

door

closed

so

hard

that

it

locked.

Soon

realizing

what

he

had

done,

he

became

frightened and started crying. Meanwhile, Natalie was looking for him everywhere but could not

find

him.

It

was

lucky

that

she

happened

to

pause

at

the

corner

for

a

minute

and

heard

her

brother's cries. She immediately ran to tell the mailman who hurried back from his truck to unlock

the metal door. Paul was now free, but he had had such a bad scare that he could not stop crying.

The mailman, however, soon found a way of making him laugh again. He told him that the next

time he wanted to hide in a mail box, he should remember to put a stamp on himself!

Summary:

The

children

were

playing

hide-and-seek

in

a

vacant

lot

one

afternoon.

Finding

that

the

storage

mailbox

had

been

left

open,

Paul

hid

and

locked

himself

in

it

accidentally.

His

sister,

Natalie, heard his cries and realized where he was hiding, so she immediately told the mailman to

unlock the metal door. After letting him out, the mailman made him stop crying by telling him to

put a stamp on himself the next he wanted to hide in a mailbox.

Why do some animals die out?

In

the

past

two

hundred

years

people

have

caused

many

kinds

of

animals

to

die

out--to

become extinct. People keep building houses and factories in fields and woods. As they spread

over the land, they destroy animals' homes.

If the animals can't find a place to live, they die out.

Sixteen kinds of Hawaiian birds have become extinct for this reason. Other animals, such as the

Florida

Key

deer,

may

soon

die

out

because

they

are

losing

their

homes.

Hunters

have

caused

some animals to become extinct, too. In the last century, hunters killed all the passenger pigeons in

North America and most of the buffalos.

Today they are fast killing off hawks and wolves.

Pollution is killing many animals today, too.

As rivers become polluted, fish are poisoned. Many die. Birds that eat the poisoned fish can't lay

strong, healthy eggs. New birds aren’t born. So far, no animals have become extinct because of

pollution. But some, such as the bald eagle and the brown pelican, have become rare and may die

out.

Scientists think that some animals become extinct

because of changes in climate.

The places

where they live become hotter or cooler, drier or wetter. The food that they eat cannot grow there

any more. If the animals can't learn to eat something else, they die. Dinosaurs may have died out

for this reason.

Summary:

In

the

past

two

hundred

years,

many

kinds

of

animals

have

died

out.

There

are

several

reasons for it. First, people keep building houses and factories in fields and woods, which destroys

animals' homes. Then, hunters' killing has also caused some animals to become extinct. Besides,

some animals aren't able to bear strong offspring and nor do they have enough food to eat because

of pollution and climatic changes.

Love languages

Do you know love what

“

love languages

”

are? Love languages are different ways that people

show their love to others. We all want to have relationships where we can show our love to others

and have them communicate love to us in return. In order to be successful in communicating love,

we

need

to

understand

what

the

different

love

languages

are.

There

are

five

important

love

languages that people need to know about to communicate effectively with others.

The

first

love

language

is

Quality

Time

which

refers

to

spending

time

together

with

the

person you are trying

to show

your love to.

This love

language will cause people to feel loved

when

they

are

taken

out

on

special

dates,

when

their

friend

changes

their

schedules

to

be

with

them, or when they turn the television off to talk with them. It means giving all of your attention

to another person.

Another

love

language

is

Words

of

Attention

as

a

way

to

show

your

love.

Telling

your

boyfriend or girlfriend how you appreciate them, encouraging them, and through words praising

them will show people that you love them. Telling someone

“I

believe in you

”

can really make

someone feel loved. With this love language you can express yourself through both spoken and

written words.

Gifts is another type of love language. Gifts are not just material objects, they are expressions

of your love. The most important aspect is not the cost, but the fact that you were thinking of them

and spent the time to go and buy them a gift. Big or little, your gift will be a symbol of your love

for the other person.

Fourth

is

the

love

language

called Acts of

Service

which

means

you

express

your love

by

helping

someone

else.

You

could

help

them

with

a

difficult

assignment

ot

help

them

fix

their

bicycle when it is broken. The most important part of this love languages is taking the time to do

things for them that require thought, energy and time. Don

’

t wait to only do what they ask you to,

but volunteer to show your kindness.

The last love language is Physical Touch. A simple touch on the arm, hug or backrub will

convey your love to them. Sit beside them when you have the chance and hole their hand when

you are walking down the street. With this love language, just being near them and showing your

care through touch will make them feel very loved.

Just

knowing

about

these

love

languages

is

not

enough

as

they

way

in

which

people

feel

loves by others is different. It is important to know which love language is strongest for the person

you are trying to love. Sometimes if you serve them, they will feel more loved than if you give

them a gift. Or perhaps holding their hand will not be as meaningful to them as if you had spent

two hours together. I recommend that you find out what the love language is of the person you are

trying to love. Don

’

t forget that there is more than just one love language. As you learn how to

give and receive love,

you

will find that

your relationships with others will be richer and more

satisfying.
