The Sahara Desert in Northern Africa is the largest hot desert in the
world. It is about 1,800 km from the north to the south and about 4,800
km from the east to the west. Temperatures can reach 58 in the
daytime and can fall to -6 at night. More than 8,000 years ago, the
Sahara was a rich land. As the rainfall in the area gradually went down
every year, it became a huge desert. Most areas of this desert have less
than 13 cm of rain every year.
8
Gary Smith and a few of his friends decided to hike across the
Sahara. One day, Smith walked alone and then he couldn't find the rest
of the group. Even worse, he could not find out which direction to go.
Then a sandstorm covered the area. When the storm was over, Smith was
even more worried. In the heat that he couldn't stand, he quickly finished
his water. He had to spend that night out in the open, and he almost felt
he couldn't survive.
9
The next day, he walked on. After the second night, he started to
worry about dying. He realized that his friends might not find him in
time. It was late on the third day that Smith lost his sense and fell over.
When Smith awoke, he was in the car with his friends. He had
been found by a group of Bedouin who were traveling in a truck. In
such a large desert with the weather conditions, this made it possible for
him to survive. Then Bedouin returned to his group of friends. Smith
was so lucky.

David,
I'm afraid of my head teacher. It all started when she scolded
(训斥) me once, and now I act differently around her. I try to look
super good and well-behaved(表现好的) whenever she's around. Am I
acting too much like a kid? How can I stop feeling so afraid?
Jessica
22
Hi, Jessica,
This makes me think of the time when I was afraid of a teacher.
She was very strict and I really thought she didn't like me. But one day I was being bullied and the teacher really helped me. Then I realized it was nothing personal. She was just doing her job.
You're doing the right thing by being well-behaved. However, it
won't help just acting this way when the teacher is around. Teachers
always want the best from their students. So, truly learn and better
yourself. Not just to show the teacher but to be happy and proud of
your own well-being. This way you will know that you are doing what
23
is right. Hopefully, the teacher will see this. But if she doesn't, that is OK because you have still bettered yourself.
You can stop feeling afraid by not taking it personally. Remember
this: the teacher is just doing her job. Know you've learned a good
lesson and let the past be in the past. Step forward with confidence!
David
