One thorn( 刺 )of experience is worth many times of warning.
Ralph Wick was seven years old. In most things he was a fine boy, but he would cry from time to time.
When he could not have what he wanted, he would 1for it. If he was told that it would hurt him, and he could not 2it, he would also cry.
One day, he went with his mother into the3. The sun shone. The grass was cut. The flowers were starting to come out. Ralph thought he was, for once, a good boy. A 4 was on his face. He wished to do as he was told.
Ralph helped his mother with the work and he was very happy. " Now you must be tired and 5," said his mother." Have a good rest here and eat some cookies. I will get a beautiful red rose for you. " So his mother brought the red flower to him. When he saw his mother still had a white rose in her hand, Ralph6it.
" No, my dear. " said his mother. " See how many thorns it has. You must not touch it, or you would be sure to hurt your7. "When Ralph found that he could not have the white rose, he began to cry, and 8took it away. But he was soon very sorry. The thorns hurt his hand. It was so9 that he could not use it for some time.

Each year on Feb 21, UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) holds an International Mother Language Day (IMLD). The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the world's languages; many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact.
What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost-not just sounds and marks but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Kill a language and all these are killed too.
Through IMLD, more and more people come to realize he terrible situation and try to stop it.
Google's 2018 Endangered (濒临灭绝的) Languages Project is a good example. Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload (上传 ) texts, audios and videos to the project website. They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world.
The Miami Project is the same kind of effort to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes (部落) of the United States. Project members work to encourage people to study and communicate with this language, which died out in the 1960s.
These activities give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep Languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They "spread the word " to save the world.
So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling of our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart. "

The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%—the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we can not even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty.
However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly—almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious world wide water shortage(缺少) later on.
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system(下水道). From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places.
But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we'd have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we'll be in no danger of drying up.
(a)Make full use of the sea water.
(b)Carry salt water into lakes or rivers.
(c)Try to save the fresh water as much as possible.
(d)Do our best to use the water again.
(e)Drink and use all the water on the earth's surface.
