Play is necessary during childhood. As children play, they learn how to make friends and relate to others. They develop their imaginations (想象力) and become more creative. Kids carry these qualities (品质) with them as they grow older.

The spirit of playfulness continues through the teenage years into adulthood (成人期) , the famous company Google, for example, keeps a lot of toys and games at different places in their offices and encourages people to use them.

23、Dear humans,

It’s the first time I write to you, my children. I used to send you many messages. But you always overlooked them. So I decide to write you a letter.

Besides you, I have many other children. They might be very close to you, or even live in your house. But there are others that you may never have the chance to meet. You bring them home to be your pets, friends, and helpers. You put them in zoos. You kill them for their meat and fur. And you even hunt them for fun. They bring you money and happiness. But they also bring you illness and death. I hope you can remember that they are not your food, clothes or furniture. They are not killers, either. They are, in fact, your brothers and sisters. You are equal. You should grow up together.

Dear humans, you are smart and hardworking. You created colorful cultures and advanced technologies. You can decide where you go, as well as where I go. But you don’t respect me. You change my climate, my lands, my forests, my rivers — You ask so much of me, more than what I can give you.

So, grow up, dear humans. Grow up to be more responsible. I hope you and all the wildlife can live happily in my arms.

Yours,

Mother Earth

Alice was now in a large hall. There were lots of d【1】, but they were all locked. In the middle of the room, there was a glass t【2】. On the table, there was a golden key.
