    On the beach of Stone Harbor, New Jersey, Marie was walking with her eight-year-old brother, Eden.

"Why does Mom have to go?" Eden asked again, with fear in his eyes.

"Mom's a 1 serving in the army reserve. When the army needs her, they call her up to take care of the wounded soldiers." Marie answered.

Dad had asked her to explain to Eden that Mom would 2 after the war. "You're older now, big girl. You 3."

No, Marie didn't understand. Being thirteen didn't bring her any less fear of Mom's 4. How could she convince her brother when she needed to make 5 believe it? She looked over her shoulder and saw Eden's 6 face. That troubled her. She didn't want her brother to go through the 7 of not knowing what was going on.

Wanting to make him 8, Marie suggested, "Let's try floating by the water's edge. Lie back." Slowly, Eden spread his body on top of the water. Marie lay back too, relaxed. When they stood up, Marie realized they were on the other side of the sea wall. 9 she began to lead the way back to the main beach.

"Now that you can float, stay beside me," Marie said, tripping in the water.

"OK," answered Eden.

Suddenly, Marie stumbled into a hole in the sand under water. She turned to warn Eden to be 10 but couldn't find him. There was a rip current! 11, she turned her eyes out to sea. There in turbulent waters was Eden. With no time to think, Marie dove into the water and swam with all her 12 to her brother and took hold of his arm.

"Stay on your back!" she shouted. They could 13 move, but Marie continued swimming with difficulty.

Finally, the pull of the water began to weaken. Mom and Dad were rushing 14 them as Marie dragged Eden out of the sea.

"Rip current." Marie told them. "I swept Eden out."

"It's OK," Mom said, wrapping Marie in her arms.

"Maybe that's 15 Mom serves. When others need help, someone has to step up and do it. Until Mom comes back, I'll be here to take care of Eden," Marie looked at her brother and said to herself.

If you've always wanted to be a high flier, then skydiving is the right sport for you! Skydiving is the activity of jumping from a plane or other aircrafts at about 4000m and falling through the sky before opening a parachute.

The actual history of skydiving started with Frenchman Andre-Jacques Garnerin, who made successful parachute jumps in 1797 from a hot air balloon. Later, more people took it up and had regular competitions, which led to it becoming an international sport in 1952. For some people, skydiving has become a sport they enjoy doing for a lifetime through which they meet new friends, learn, progress and even compete.

The sport of skydiving has a whole range of training methods. Tandem skydiving is the most common way for beginners to get started in this exciting sport. During a tandem dive, the student is connected to an instructor. The student is able to enjoy the sensation of free fall, while the instructor takes control of vital activities such as opening the parachute and performing a safe landing. While falling through the sky, the "arch" position is the best body position for beginners. The shape of a banana is similar to the body position. To feel the sensation of the "arch" you can lie face down on the ground and extend your arms out while keeping them off the ground. Do the same thing with your legs — legs extended with knee bend and keeping them off the floor. This "arch" position allows for a smooth free fall.

Today, skydiving has become a popular activity around the world. Why not take the chance to skydive in your coming vacation?

In the open ocean, there's nowhere to hide. Being visible isn't safe for animals that live here. So many of them take up a remarkable form of camouflage: they're transparent.

Transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way it passes through a window. These animals usually live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet (1,000 m) — as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a light touch.

How does an animal become see-through? The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. But a transparent object doesn't interact with light, at least not very much. To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. According to Sonke Johnsen, a marine biologist and professor at Duke University, avoiding absorption is actually easy. Living materials allow light to get through them if they don't have pigments, which are chemicals that absorb specific colors of light. Pigments make your blood red and plant leaves green, but if an animal doesn't have them, its tissues won't absorb light.

__________ Light bends and scatters when it goes through different materials of an animal-skin, fat, muscle, and more. All that bending means light can't pass straight through the animal, so the animal is visible. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are just very small without much tissue to scatter light. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living, jelly-like material and spread themselves over it. Actually the living tissue of the animal is pretty thin.

Eyes and stomachs are hard to hide. To keep enemies from seeing their eyes or their last meal, transparent animals usedisguises. Eyes might be placed far away from the rest of the body. A stomach may be covered by something like a mirror which makes others only see the ocean around the animal. It may also take strange, needle-like shape that is difficult to see the edge.

    I was an art-dealer in Berlin. Since the war broke out, there hadn't been much business to do. I decided to visit my former customer—a man who was probably the oldest yet alive. In the course of decades, what he had bought from us for low prices should be worth a large amount of money today.

I finally saw him, in an old and cheap house. He was blind, living with his wife and daughter. He was overjoyed to meet me and would like to show me his collection.

Then a strange thing happened. His wife, who had been listening with a pleasant smile, was scared. She begged me to come later. An hour later, the daughter arrived at my hotel with embarrassment, "We have to ask a favour of you. When you get back, Father will want to show you his collection, and the collection...the collection, well there's very little of it left." She went on difficultly, "soon after the war broke out, Father became blind. Each afternoon, he has the paintings on the table and fingers them one by one. The situation is terrible now, but Father knows nothing about the inflation. We don't read him that sort of things from the newspaper."

"The first painting we sold was a very valuable one. We put the money in a bank. In a few weeks, it was gone! We had to sell another one. Every piece we sold was replaced by a sheet of blank paper...He would not survive the knowledge of the loss. Today may be the most excited experiences since he got blind. If you will lend yourself to the lie..."

I promised to play up. I spent the whole afternoon in their house. The old man showed me blank pieces and pointed at every detail so surely that I couldn't help leaning forward to read the non-existent paintings. I didn't know what to say in front of all the blank sheets of paper until I saw the mother and the daughter. I pulled myself together and played my role, "Certainly you are right. It is valuable!"

"Here's a man who knows what's what!" he said cheerfully to the two women. "When I am dead, you could sell them. You'll be the richest in the town!"

Not for years, not since 1914, had I seen such happiness in the face of a German.
