    One day, after I had given him his dinner, he started crying for mum. He was so young and really needed mum. So I dressed him, and then put on his 2, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he fell asleep. About half an hour later, I found that he lost a shoe while he was 3. I took him off my 4and put him down. I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn't afford new shoes. I had to 5 to find it, so I told my brother to wait right there. A man heard it and stopped me just6 I walked off. He asked me, "You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe？What will you do if he is not here when you return？"I didn't know 7 to answer that question. He continued, "It's OK if you can't find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your 8."Then he sent us to mum's workplace by taxi.

    During my whole life I have received the 9 from many strangers. I feel sorry that I can't find them and say "10" I do not even remember what their faces looked like, but they taught me a lesson﹣people are more important than things.

    In 1996, Subaru Takaiashi sailed alone across the Pacific Ocean. Many other people did this before Subaru, but he was special. At 14, he was the youngest person to sail across the Pacific by himself.

    Subaru left Tokyo on 23 July, 1996. His boat was 30 feet (9 metres) long. In the boat, he had a two-month supply of food and water. He also had a radio and other modern equipment for sailing.

    The beginning of this trip went very well. Subaru often talked to his parents by radio. He didn't have any problems with his boat. Then on 11 August, the engine in his boat quit. This affected his navigation(导航)equipment. Then five days later, his radio quit. So he wasn't able to communicate with anyone. And he was still 2,770 miles (4,490 kilometres) away from his destination-San Francisco.

    By the end of August, many people believed that Subaru was lost. No one was able to contact him by radio. His parents expected him to arrive in San Francisco on 3 September, but he didn't. Then, on 13 September, Subaru sailed into San Francisco. After 55 days in his boat, his trip was finally over.

    Many people believe that Subaru was too young to sail alone. They say that parents shouldn't allow children to make such dangerous trips. However, other people say that children should have adventures, too.

    What do you do in a situation like this? You're eating dinner with friends at a nice restaurant. You're having a great time when a phone rings at the table next to you. A man takes out his phone and starts talking loudly about his problems he latest met. He talks for almost ten minutes! This happens all the time on buses or metros, in restaurants or supermarkets, nearly everywhere!

    Many people find cell phones useful in their day-to-day lives. But all of us have ever sat next to someone talking too loudly on a cell phone. You may want to tell the loudmouth to end the conversation, but let the management take care of the noisy customers. You can only control your own behavior. Here are a few rules.

    Off means off!

    Respect the rules of restaurants and other public places. If a sign says "turn off cell phones," don't use your phone.

    Keep private conversations private!

    Speak softly and for a short time. Try to move away from other people.

Lights off, phone off!

    Never take calls in a theatre or at the movies.

    Pay attention!

    Talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. And watch where you're going when you're walking down the street and talking on the phone.

    As more and more people use cell phones, things are only going to get worse. So, the next time you're getting ready to make a call, consider the people around you.

    The world's first hydrogen-powered(氢动力) trains have begun running in Germany last month. The new trains will run 100-kilometer trips and can travel up to 140 kilometers an hour.

    A French railroad company called Alstom built two hydrogen-powered trains. Teams in Germany and France cooperated on the project, which was supported by the German government. The new train model, called the Coradia iLint, signals the beginning of efforts in Germany and other nations to move away from pollution-producing diesel(柴油) trains.

    Compared(与…相比较) with diesel trains, the Coradia iLint is designed to run on non-electrified train lines with low levels of noise. It uses a process that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electrical power. If the system produces more energy than the train needs at that time, it can store the extra energy in batteries. The only emissions(排放物)are water and steam.

    A single tank of hydrogen can run a Coradia iLint train for about 1,000 kilometers. This is very similar to the distance a diesel-powered train can run on with a single tank.

    Hydrogen-powered trains cost more than diesel trains to build. But Alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower. The company plans to provide another 14 Coradia iLint trains by the year 2021. Several other European countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems. France has already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be operated by 2022.

    Recently, Donald Trump has been chosen to be the Person of the Year byTime. But who is the Person of the Year in your heart?

    Katrina, 13, England

    In my eyes, the Person of the Year must be British actor Alan Rickman. I love him because of his beautiful voice in the movieAlice in Wonderland. The most successful character he has made is Severus Snape in theHarry Pottermovies, who loves Lily till the last second of his life. In 2016, he died at the age of 69. The author ofHarry Potter,J.K. Rowling said he was a perfect actor and a wonderful man.

    Henry, 13, Portugal

    The Person of the Year must be Antonio Manuel de Oliveira Guterres. He was the former premier of Portugal (葡萄牙总理). And now he is the new Secretary-General (秘书长) of the United Nations. Before him, eight persons have taken this job. In my opinion, the UN Secretary General always plays an important role in developing international relationships. I think that he is worth offering the job and will make something great to the world.

    Zhang Xiaoning, 15, China

    I think Guo Chuan, the famous Chinese sailor, can be Person of the Year. Guo broke many world records with his sailing boat. He often sailed around the world alone. He had strong spirit. Whatever difficulties he met, he never gave up. He went missing at sea earlier this year. But he still lives on in my heart.

    Michael, 12, France

    The person I want to choose would be Teresa May, the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Since the UK left the European Union, many people thought that the UK would be in a mess. However, May made an effort to "save the UK". She has done a good job. It is said that she has dealt with the chaos (混乱) of the English political parties (政党). She has also solved a lot of problems and showed her abilities to the world. She has been praised as the second Margaret Thatcher (撒切尔) for her hard work.

    Americans were shocked to discover that the national bird was in danger of disappearing from the skies forever. Studies in 1970 showed only about 1,000, or fewer, bald eagles(秃鹰) in the country.

    The major cause of the problem was people. The spread of civilization(文明) destroyed many of the eagles' feeding and nesting areas. And the eagles were being affected by D-D-T and other insect poisons. The poisons were in the animals the eagles ate. They reduced the eagles' ability(能力) to use calcium(钙). This made the outside of the eagles' eggs very thin. Often, the eggs broke before baby birds were developed.

    In 1972, the U. S. government banned(禁止) D-D-T. People also became interested in protecting places where eagles live. And stronger efforts were made to carry out laws protecting the birds. Scientists began a program that placed baby bald eagles which were born under human care, into nests of wild bald eagles. Often, the wild birds accepted the babies.

    These efforts appear to have been successful in saving the American bald eagles. Today the number of the bald eagles has increased to more than 11, 000.
