When I was about 12，a girl in my class liked to point out (指出）my problems. I was too
thin；I wasn’t a good student；I talked too much；I was too proud (骄傲），and so on. At last，I
became very angry and ran to my father. He listened to me quietly. Then he asked, “Are these
things true or not? Do you know what you are really like? Go and make a list of what she said and
find the things that are true. ”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered (发现）that
about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (改变)，like being very thin.
But they were things I wanted to change. For the first time, I got a clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Dad. He didn’t take it, “That’s just for you ，” he said， “You
know the truth (真相）about yourself better than anyone else. When people say something that is
true about you，you should find it helpful. Our world is full of people who think they know your
matter. Don’t be angry and feel hurt. Listen to them.”

May first is May Day，which is one of the oldest holidays around the world. But America
celebrates May Day on the first Monday in September. May Day events in America are mostly a
celebration of nature（大自然）.
In fact, many ancient peoples chose May first to celebrate the re-birth of nature in
springtime. The Romans held a festival of flowers on the first day of May. Their celebrations
became tradition in Britain. May Day celebrated the beauty of spring after a long, cold winter.
In Ireland and Scotland, people gathered flowers before sunrise. They sang and danced as
they returned home. In England, villagers chose a young woman as May Queen, who were
surrounded by flowers.
In early America, Puritan（清教徒） settlers（移民） from Britain did not agree such
activities. So they did not celebrate May Day. But settlers from other countries in Europe brought
May Day traditions to America.

C
Every year thousands of young people in England finish school and then take a year off
before they start work or go to university. Some young people go to other countries and work as
volunteers. Volunteers give their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or
hospitals, or they do something helpful for the environment.
Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she wants to go to university to study
Chinese, but now she’s living in Belize. Pauline says, “I’m working with other people here to save
the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is
very polluted (污染), the coral dies. I’m helping to do research on the coral and the fish that live
around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are dying. We need to do something about the
problem before it’s too late.”
“I’m staying with a family here and I help do some housework. I don’t get any money, but
that’s OK. I love my work here, and I’m learning a lot about the people of Belize—and myself!
When I finish my work, I want to stay here for another three months. I want to travel around

You speak, write a letter, or make a telephone call. Your words carry a message. People
communicate（交流） with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on
your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When
you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You
shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying
“Yes”. Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you know
which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors
tell you where to go in or out.
Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages
from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his
drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are
written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their
ideas. Books, magazines, newspaper, TV and radios and films all help us to communicate with
each other. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are
thinking about.
