   Micah is my 12-year-old daughter. We used to do many things together. But these days, “I’m good” is about all she says to me, which means “Leave me alone”.

I wondered why she didn’t want to do things with me. When I set table for dinner one evening. I heard Micah shout, “Mom, come quickly!” I rushed out and found a little baby bird on the ground. My eyes went up to the branches (树枝) . For the last few weeks we had watched the birds make a nest and lay eggs there.

“The wind must have blown him out of the nest,” I said.

“No, it was Mr. Whiskers, our cat. You let him go outside!” Micah said.

I realized she was right. So I said sorry and put the bird back. As soon as we went inside, she began to search for what to feed it on the computer carefully. And I found she focused on the screen more than ever before. She didn’t even have dinner with me.

“It needs a name.” Micah said.

“How about Chance? I think he has a good chance of living with your help.” I said.

“I like it.” said Micah.

Early the next morning, I got up to mix the bird food that Micah found on the Internet. But Chance didn’t need it, because his mother was back!

Weeks later, we went to check on Chance. The nest was empty. Chance was standing proudly on a branch. He has grown up!

Then I realized Micah wasn’t a little girl any longer. She is her own person.

   Well-known Chinese writer and translator Yang Jiang passed away at the age of 105 on May 25, 2016. But four years later, many people are still remembering her by posting Yang’s photos on the Internet.

Having studied in the UK and France, Yang was good at both English and French. And she started learning Spanish at the age of 48 in order to translate a great work—Don Quixote (《唐·吉诃德》). As a result, Yang finished the translation of Don Quixote over a period of 10 years. Published in 1979, it was regarded as the best translation of the classic in China. She thought about every word and sentence when she did translation. Yang only translated about 500 words at a time when most translators can translate as many as 2,000 words or so a day.

Yang is known for her writings as well as her translation achievement. She published Six Chapters of My Life in 1981 and Baptism (《洗澡》) in 1988. Baptism is about the lives of Chinese intellectuals(知识分子) in the 1950s. It was praised highly by both the readers and other writers. But Yang said, “Baptism was just an experiment to test myself and see if I am able to write novels.”

Though Yang herself considered her works as attempts(尝试), each of her attempts was a success. These attempts showed her calm and simple state of mind rather than the desire(渴望) for fame or wealth.

Without doubt, Yang will long be remembered for her great achievements. Her great works and the selfless spirit may be her greatest wealth left to us.

   Have you ever heard of Earth Day (April 22)? The first Earth Day was in 1970. In that year, about 20 million Americans walked to the streets, colleges, and hundreds of cities, calling on people to protect the Earth. People were beginning to worry about what they were doing to the environment.
33．

In 2007, people from over 150 countries organized more than 4,000 big events for Earth Day. This made it possible for more people to realize the necessity (必要性) of protecting the environment.
34． There are still many thousands of smaller, local events in the week around Earth Day. These events deal with environmental problems in the neighborhood.

Nowadays the WWF has made a list of simple things that each person can do to help save the environment. For example, we can print both sides of paper while using the printer. We can also turn off the computer while not using. The message that the WWF wants to give us is clear.
35． We can’t say “The problem is too big. I can’t fix it.” We can make a big difference, if we all do something like this all the time.

36． Climate (气候) change is the biggest challenge to the future of humans. The world needs us and our actions for Earth Day 2020. Climate change has caused so many serious problems. We must work together to solve them. Like American writer Ernest Hemingway said. “The Earth is a fine place and worth fighting for.”

48．.

People in the Netherlands can travel on trains for free during the country’s book week each year. Passengers can just show a book
49． of buying a train ticket.

In Greece, the government has built mini libraries at the bus stop to allow passengers to read
50． they wait for the bus. They can also borrow books and read
51． their trip. Those books can be returned at a later date .

In New York, passengers on the subway can download free short stories, poems
52． other reading materials to their computers or smart phones.

Libraries on public transportation can not only spread the happiness of reading but also improve lives.

   Thanksgiving is a day for family members and friends. When I lived in France, my friends and I decided to have a “friendsgiving” in November because we were so far away from our homes. We decided to have the dinner at my friend Grace’s apartment in Paris. But it was difficult to get a turkey because French people don’t have Thanksgiving. The day before our “friendsgiving” dinner, Grace and I went to different markets to look for a turkey. It took us hours, but we finally found one.

The next day, everyone brought different foods to share. While we waited for the turkey to cook, we played cards and told stories. Suddenly we heard a loud sound BANG! We all ran to the kitchen. The water pipes (水管) under Grace’s kitchen sink (水槽) were broken. The kitchen was filling with water very fast.

“Everyone, take the food up to the roof (屋顶) at once!” Grace shouted. We ran to the roof with all the food. Grace ran outside to turn off the water. That’s when we realized the turkey was still in the oven. We ran back to the kitchen, found some gloves, and pulled the turkey out of the oven.

In the end, we had an amazing “friendsgiving” dinner on the roof of the house with all of our good friends. The turkey was a little darker but still delicious.

Life is full of the unexpected. Sometimes small problems can become sweet memories. I will never forget this “friendsgiving” dinner.
