There are some homeless people in our city. We often see them staying on the streets on very cold days. They don’t have a house to live in. They don’t have any friends, either. What’s worse, they get sick more easily than we do, because they are outside all the time. We can do some things to help the homeless people.
We can help the homeless people by building houses for them. My idea is to build a large house with one large kitchen. There will be more bedrooms in the building.
We can help the homeless people by providing jobs for them. If they have jobs and make money, they will buy their own food and anything else they might need. As we know, nobody wants to beg for food if they have enough food. We could pay the homeless people for doing some things such as cleaning up the city park and planting trees.
All in all, I think we should try our best to help the homeless people. Then we can make this world better.

John was a very strong man. Once he got a job of cutting wood in a forest. His boss gave him an axe (斧子) and showed him the area where he should work.
The first day, John cut down 18 trees.
“Good,” the boss said, “keep it up!”
John was encouraged by the words of the boss and tried harder the next day, but he could only cut down 15 trees.
The third day he tried even harder, but he could only cut down 10 trees. Day after day he was cutting down fewer and fewer trees.
“I must be losing my strength (力气),” John thought. He went to the boss and said that he could not understand what was going on.
“When was the last time you had sharpened (使……变得锋利) your axe?” the boss asked.
“Sharpened? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut more trees!” said John.
The moral (寓意) of this story—While John was working hard, he didn’t think about how to do his job better. Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don’t take time to sharpen our skills. Many of us never learn new skills. We think that whatever we have learned is enough. However, in some ways, sharpening our skills from time to time is the key to success.

【解析】

There are some homeless people in our city. We often see them staying on the streets on very cold days. They don’t have a house to live in. They don’t have any friends, either. What’s worse, they get sick more easily than we do, because they are outside all the time. We can do some things to help the homeless people.
We can help the homeless people by building houses for them. My idea is to build a large house with one large kitchen. There will be more bedrooms in the building.
We can help the homeless people by providing jobs for them. If they have jobs and make money, they will buy their own food and anything else they might need.

___72___ Can you imagine a sea of sand three times bigger than India? This is the Sahara Desert, the largest desert in the world. It covers 11 countries in North Africa and is over 9 million square kilometers.
___73___ In the Sahara, temperatures are very different during the day and at night. It is much hotter during the day than at night. Because of the extreme (极端的) temperatures in the desert, it is a very difficult place to survive (幸存). Marco Rivera, our survival expert, has some tips.
___74___ Take warm clothes and a blanket. You will need a hat, long trousers and a thick sweater to keep you warm at night. During the day, cover your body, head and face. Clothes protect you from the sun and keep water in your body. You will also need a warm blanket at night. It can get cold rapidly. When the temperature drops, it can be a shock and you feel even colder.
___75___ Try to drink some water at least once every hour. You need your water to last as long as possible. Drink only what you need.

___76___ It’s important to stay out of the sun during the day. Make a hole under your car and lie there. This will keep you cool and help you sleep. Find a warm place to sleep at night.

John was a very strong man. Once he got a job of cutting wood in a forest. His boss gave him an axe (斧子) and showed him the area where he should work.
The first day, John cut down 18 trees.
“Good,” the boss said, “keep it up!”
John was encouraged by the words of the boss and tried harder the next day, but he could only cut down 15 trees.
The third day he tried even harder, but he could only cut down 10 trees. Day after day he was cutting down fewer and fewer trees.
“I must be losing my strength (力气),” John thought. He went to the boss and said that he could not understand what was going on.
“When was the last time you had sharpened (使……变得锋利) your axe?” the boss asked.
“Sharpened? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut more trees!” said John.
The moral (寓意) of this story—While John was working hard, he didn’t think about how to do his job better. Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don’t take time to sharpen our skills. Many of us never learn new skills. We think that whatever we have learned is enough. However, in some ways, sharpening our skills from time to time is the key to success.
