21、   A squirrel(松鼠) that was nearly killed nine years ago continues to visit the family that saved, raised and later sent her into the wild.

In October 2009, a four-week-old squirrel was almost killed by an owl(猫头鹰). Luckily a wildlife rescue group saved her and left her in the care of Brantley Harrison and her family in South Carolina. The Harrisons often look after wild animals and later send them back into the wild.

The Harrisons named her Bella. With three other squirrels, Bella stayed in Brantley’s care until spring. During her stay Bella acted similarly to the other squirrels. In April 2010, the squirrels were sent back into the wild. Bella, however, wasn’t ready to leave her human family. Within days of be released, she started visiting them, looking for treats. Brantley said that the other squirrels also came back over the first few days, but within a week they stopped coming by and began to avoid people.

“Bella usually sits at the front door, waiting for someone to notice her. She comes almost every day,” said Brantley. Her husband John often brings Bella nuts as she is usually waiting by the door for him. Actually Bella has become a member of the family.

For nine years, she continues to visit them. Brantley said, “If Bella can teach at least one person to care for all living things, no matter how big or how small, then we have done what we have set out to.”

22、Dear human beings,

1 hesitated (犹豫) a lot before writing this letter. All I want to do is to ask you to have a look at your life. But I’m not sure whether or not you’ll pay attention to me.

I’m a pretty old tree now. I’m 80 years old. So I’ve seen much of the world. We’ve lived on Earth with you for thousands of years. Each day we release oxygen and remove harmful gas so that you have pure air. We cool the air so that you don’t have to run your air conditioners all the time. We help prevent the soil from being washed away. And above all, we give all kinds of fruit, nuts, beans as well as wood to you.

We like the world，we like you human beings. But you’ve never been interested in us. For example, do you know how amazing we are? Do you know that, just like you, we trees are communicating with one another? And a tree can warn its neighbors of danger if insects attack it? And some of us pass nutrients (养分) and water around by joining our roots together underground? I suppose you don’t. We are now in great danger because of you. You are, in fact, destroying us at a terrible speed. You are burning and cutting down millions of us each year, hut you’re not planting enough. For every tree being planted today, 30 trees are being cut down. What would you do if all of us died? Perhaps you would die, too. Without us, you wouldn’t get the ingredients for some of your important medicines, you wouldn’t have enough material for buildings, furniture, paper products, and your cities would look ugly. In addition, air pollution and noise pollution would become more and more serious，and your life would turn nasty….

Well, the list could go on forever, but I think I should stop. The best thing for you to do now is to stop destroying us and start protecting the environment, because we are the best fighters against pollution and we are your best friends!

I wish all the best for you，and good luck!

Your friend,

An old tree

23、For 99% of human history, people took their food from the world around them. They ate all that they could find, and then moved on. Then about 10,000 years ago, or for 1% of human history, people learned to farm the land.

The kind of food we eat depends on which part of the world we live in, or which part of our country we live in. For example, in the south of China they eat rice, but in the north they eat noodles. In European countries near the sea, people eat a lot of fishes. In central (中部) Europe, away from the sea, people don’t eat so much fish, they eat more meat. In Germany and Poland there are hundreds of different kinds of sausages.

In North America, Australia, and Europe, people eat with knives and forks. In China, people eat with chopsticks. In parts of India and the Middle East people use their fingers and bread to pick up food.

Nowadays it is possible to transport (运输) food easily from one part of the world to the other. We can eat what we like, when we like, at any time of the year. In Britain, bananas come from Africa; rice comes from India or the USA; strawberries come from Chile or Spain. Food is very big business. But people in poor countries are still hungry, and people in rich countries eat too much.

That should get the bus started again. Now, all of you lean back as far as you can in your seats and get ready.”
