To the kids who need a friend: The holidays are a good time to think a- bout people who are lonely. Maybe there is someone in your class who doesn􀆳t seem to have any friends.

If so, you probably need help to make the bigger choices in your life, like what to do when you􀆳re older. “Brave New Girls”, by American author Jean Gadeberg, wil help you make such choices. It says you must be a brave new girl. A brave new girl is one who is confident, healthy and happy. A brave new girl can realize her dreams. To be brave, you need to make a decision for yourself. Other people may tel you what to do, but you should not listen to them. You must only do what you want. If you always wear clothes like your favourite TV star, you must stop doing so. Instead, become your own star and wear the clothes you want. You have to like your body, it says. If you don􀆳t, you wil not take good care of it and won􀆳t stay healthy. The book also says that girls must start becoming more confident. If you are confident, you􀆳l suc- ceed in life. A good way to become confi- dent is to realize that you are as clever as boys.

But several days ago, I had a Biology class out- side in my American school. My Biology teacher, Mr Kwak, divided 86 第 二 部 分 整 合 提 升 us into three groups and asked us to play a game about natural selection(选择) and how birds find food. He gave the first group one spoon per person, the second group forks and my group knives. I thought we were going hun- ting, so knives might work better. Surpris- ingly, he told us to pick up the beans on the grass with our tools. When the game started, al of us ran to the grass area. We squatted(蹲) down and looked for beans. It was hard to pick up something that smal, especialy from the grass. When I almost lifted a bean, it dropped back to the ground. When I finaly picked up several beans, one of my friends ran into me. I couldn􀆳t keep my balance and fel o- ver. Al my beans dropped to the ground! Just at that moment, Mr Kwak caled us back. I had to leave the game and of course I got a bad result. I couldn􀆳t help thinking that if I were a bird living on Galapagos Is- land, I would be dead soon. The fun game made me realize that natural selection is realy competitive(竞争的).

Please!” The tiger caled, “Please, let me out.” “No,” said the man. “If I do, you wil eat me.” “I wil not eat you,” the tiger said. “Please let me out.” At last, the man believed it. When the 07 第 二 部 分 整 合 提 升 tiger jumped out, it roared at the man and was ready to eat him. “Wait!” the man cried. “You ought not to eat me. Let us ask others what they think.” “OK. You may ask three others,” the tiger said. The man asked a tree. The tree said, “I give shade. And yet people cut me down. Let the tiger eat you.” Next, the good man asked a bird. The bird said, “I hurt no one. Yet people hunt and kil me. Let the tiger eat you.” The third the man asked was a road. The road said, “I don􀆳t care if the tiger eats you. People could not get along too wel without me. Yet al day and al night people step on me without even a ‘thank you’.” The tiger was ready to eat the good man. Just then a dog came by. The man told the dog the whole story. “I don􀆳t understand,” said the dog. “The tiger wants to eat you because you put him in a cage?” “No, no,” said the man. “Some other men put him in a cage.” “Oh,” the dog said. “He is going to eat you because you do not have a cage,” the dog said. “Sily dog!” the tiger cried. “Don􀆳t you understand? I was in the cage. This man let me out.” “Oh, I see,” the dog said. “When the man was in the cage, you let him out.” “I was in the cage!” the tiger cried. “In this way!” With that, he jumped back into the cage. At once, the dog closed the cage. “Oh, I understand!” the dog laughed. The man and the dog walked off. The tiger looked sad in the cage.

After the first man landed on the moon in 1969, some scientists thought that hotels would be built on the moon in the 21st cen- tury. They also considered the possibility that families might go for a holiday on the moon. Neither of these predictions(预测) have come true yet—but the rapid develop- ment of technology may make these predic- tions come true. Some companies tried to send tourists into space successfuly, but it was too ex- pensive. In order to make it cheaper, subor- bital(亚轨道的) space travel is a choice for many companies. Passengers can go to a height of between 100 and 160 km above earth, experience 3—6 minutes of weight- lessness and a view of the stars and then come back down to earth. This costs about $ 100, 000 per person. While it could be an amazing experi- ence, there are some problems with space tourism. Many people believe that it could make global warming(全球变暖) worse and it is not good for the ozone layer(臭氧层). What􀆳s worse, there are stil milions of people worldwide who couldn􀆳t pay for it. 1 is space tourism? Introduction The 2 of space travel is be- coming a reality.
