When Han Mei and her friend Li Dan were walking down the stairs (楼梯) from the third floor, her classmate Xu Nuo accidentally hit her on the back. She lost her balance (平衡) and fell down the stairs. She broke her left leg and her right arm was bleeding. She had a bruise (瘀伤) on her right leg too. “Ouch! That hurt!” cried Han Mei. Her teacher Miss Gao called 120 right away. Han Mei had to stay in hospital for a week. In the ward (病房), she met Wang Hong, who broke her arm in a car accident. They talked for long hours. They left hospital on the same day. The doctor told Han Mei that she had to stay at home for a month so that her leg could get well again. Han Mei could not go to school. She was upset. Wang Hong went to visit her. She told Han Mei interesting stories to cheer her up. They played chess and watched cartoons together. When Han Mei could walk again, she joined some interest classes with Wang Hong. They visited many places together too. Since then, Wang Hong has been Han Mei’s best friend. “This accident caused me a lot of pain, but luckily, I got a best friend,” thought Han Mei.

“Josh! Kate! Emma! Time to go!” Mrs. Cater called from the car. Emma and Kate hurried to finish their breakfast and Josh was busy looking for his Backpack. As usual, it was a big rush. Every morning, their mother or father had to drive them to school. “HURRY!” called their mother. Not so gently (温柔地) this time. Kids ran to the car. Then Mom turned onto the road. “Kids, what activities do you have after school?” Mom asked. “I have dance class.” said Kate. “I have soccer.” said Josh. “I have art class.” said Emma. Their mother just sighed (吸气). That afternoon, Mrs. Carter had to pick up everybody. She drove a long way. Finally they were home. Looking at the tired mother. Emma said. “I have an idea! We can ride bikes to school.” “It’s too far! And taking a taxi costs a lot. If there were buses, that would be nice.” said Kate. “Today we talked about cars in science class. Many people are all driving at the same time. That’s bad for the air. It uses too much gas (汽油). So we could do a carpool (拼车). Kill two birds with one stone!” said Josh proudly. “Fantastic! We can talk to our neighbors.” said Kate excitedly. “Yes!” said Josh “Mom! We could ask them to carpool.” That night the family went to visit their neighbors. The family told the Smiths their plan. They all loved the idea! Evan Smith and Josh were on the same soccer team. Their parents would take turns to pick up the boys. The Carters visited other neighbors. One family said they would drive to school two days a week. Another family had children to Emma’s art class. Someone else had kids in Kate’s dance class. Finally, they had a schedule (日程表). It showed when each family would drive. Josh said, “Tomorrow, I will tell my science teacher our plan. He will be proud of us! We are being careful with important Earth resources (资源). And we’ve solved our family problem.”

I ran into the forest to my favorite place and sat down on my special rock I knew no one could find me. Al last I had peace and quiet. I lifted my guitar and began to play. “Hi, Desha!” Shocked, I found my brother James standing behind me. “Don’t you have a basketball game to watch?” I complained (抱怨). “The game was almost over when I noticed (注意) you left. I thought you might like some company (陪伴).” “Company is the last thing I want. Can’t I have a little peace and quiet?” James studied me for a minute. It’s hard having such a big family, isn’t it?” “Eliza’s always prying into my personal life. Yesterday I found her looking through my diary. Now everyone is in the living room watching the game. All I wanted to do was to watch a movie, but when I went to my room. Sara was there listening to the radio. I just want to be alone for a change.” James sighed and said, “I left the same way when I was your age. But now...” “Now you have your own room. After Daniel went off to college, you didn’t have to share anymore.” James smiled, “It is great to have my own room, but sometimes I really miss Daniel. We used to talk about everything—sports, school, friends... Although sometimes it seemed crowded, it was comforting (令人安慰的) to have someone else there.” “Yeah, ‘crowded’ is right.” I said. “I know.” James said. “But there are some good things that come out of it—we share memories and jokes no one else understands and we can support one another in face of difficulties.” I sighed. “Didn’t Sara stay up half the night with you last week helping you with your homework?” James asked. I admitted (承认) unwillingly. “Yeah, sometimes she can be all right.” “This place can be your ‘room’. Anytime you need peace and quiet. just come here,” James said, pointing at a rock. I was surprised to see James’ name there! James smiled “This is a great place for getting away.” Leaning (依靠) on brother’s shoulder. I thought. “Maybe family is not bad.”

We’ve all seen pictures of camels carrying heavy loads (负载物) across the sandy desert. They walk without stopping for food or water for several days. Have you ever wondered how they do it? For your answer, take a look at the bag round hump which is on a camel’s back. Camels are the only animals with humps. And it’s the hump that gives camels the amazing ability to go for long periods of time without food or water. The hump is like a spare cupboard (备用食物柜) where the camel stores (储存) food and water for days when there is nothing to eat or drink. When life is good, and there is plenty to eat and drink, a camel’s hump can grow to as big as 40 kilograms. The food is changed into fat (脂防) and stored in the camel’s bump. When there is nothing to eat or drink, camels begin to use the stored fat in their humps. That’s why they can continue to live for weeks without food and up to 10 days without water. Camels are like sponges. They can take in more than 130 litres of water in one short drink. In only a few minutes, all of this water goes directly to the camel’s blood cells (组胞). Camels save water too. They never know when they’ll find the next watering hole. As they breathe out, their noses close quickly. The water in the breath stays in their bodies. After a long trek across the desert carrying 100 kilograms or more, a camel can lose up to 150 kilograms of weight. The camel’s hump will become very small. As soon as this camel gets to an oasis (绿洲), it will take in hundreds of litres of water. In a day, it will get back most of its weight. Nature really has given camels the perfect system for living the hard desert life.

Desha felt she could never find peace at home. Her younger brother James was always watching TV loudly, and she often caught him looking through her diary. "Stop prying!" she would shout. She just wanted to be alone for a change. One day, Desha went to the library to read about camels. She learned that a camel's hump is not full of water, but fat. This fat gives the camel energy when food is hard to find in the desert. She also read that camels can drink up to 130 litres of water at one time. Their bodies are like sponges, soaking up water quickly. Because of these amazing abilities, camels can live in the desert for a long time without water. Reading about how camels survive alone in the desert made Desha think about her own life. She realized that her family was always there for her, even if they were noisy. She decided to go home and talk to James. When she arrived, James was sitting quietly. "I am sorry for prying," he said. "I just wanted to know what you were reading." Desha smiled. "It's okay," she said. "Let's read it together." She learned that home is the best place, and family is the most important thing.
