A lot of animals travel from one place to another.We call this migration.
In Africa,large animals,like elephants and zebras,migrate to find food and
water.They usually follow the same ways every year.
A lot of birds migrate to find food and better weather too.They are usually
birds that eat insects.They spend the summer in northern Europe because there
are lots of insects there.In the winter there aren't any insects,so the birds fly
south to southern Europe and Africa.
Some insects migrate too.In North America,millions of monarch butterflies

fly south to spend the winter in Mexico,California and Florida,where it's
warmer.They travel 50~65 km each day and they travel about 1,125 km.
Some fish migrate to breed(繁殖).Salmon(鲑鱼)can swim over20,000kmin
their life.They are born in rivers in Ireland,Scotland and other places in
northern Europe.The young fish swim down the river to the sea and into the
Atlantic Ocean.They live in the ocean until they are adults.Then they return to
the river where they were born.They lay their eggs in the river and then they
usually die.Salmon do this because their eggs are safer in the river.Other fish
can't eat them.
Arcticterns(北极燕鸥)travel the furthest when they migrate,.They spend the
summer in the Arctic,but when winter comes they fly to the Antarctic because
it's summer there.The next year they fly back to the Arctic again.In one year
these small birds travel 36,000 km from one end of the Earth to the other and
back again.Nobody knows how they do it.

One night as I went to the supermarket to buy some groceries(日用品),
something unusual happened to me.It made me review the meaning of life.
As soon as I went through the glass doors,I could tell something unusual was
happening at the cash register(收银台).I saw a cashier taking a few items(物
)out of a customer's bag.The shopper was an old woman.I couldn't even begin
to describe to you how sad this woman looked.I stood there for a second and
quickly realized that the cashier was taking items off the bill to cut down the
payment.
I walked quickly over to the cash register,pointed to the items that she was
about to put behind her and then pointed at my bag,showing that I would pay
for them.She understood.After putting those items back in the bag at the register,

she again went to help the woman with her card,but it still didn't work.I looked
at the screen to see the number,took some cash out of my bag,handed it to the
cashier and then quickly walked away.

When the cashier told her that she didn't have to pay a cent,she was confused(

I didn't walk back into the supermarket,but I felt so proud.I was really happy
that I was able to help the old woman out and hopefully bring some joy and
happiness into her life.

people say that giving is a kind of happiness;it gives people warmth and joy.

the joy and excitement after the harvest.But I think to help others is a kind of
happiness.It is the most valuable experience and it will always warm your heart.
