The early 1500s were an exciting time of exploration （探险）and discovery．During this time，a young nobleman named Ferdinand Magellan became excited over the idea of exploring new lands．Magellan told King Charles Ⅰ of Spain his plan to look for the Spice Islands （51） ．
On September 21，1519，Magellan and 240 men sailed（航行）from Spain in five ships：Concepcion，San Antonio，Santiago，Trinidad，and Victoria （52） ．He sailed along the coast of South America looking for a place to sail through to the other side of the land．He found a passage（通道）near the tip of South America．This passage led from the Atlantic Ocean（大西洋）to another ocean．Today this passage is called the Strait of Magellan．Magellan named this other ocean the Pacific Ocean，because the waters were so calm．
（53） ，he had only three ships left．The San Antonio has recently sailed back to Spain．The Santiago had been wrecked in a storm．
Magellan expected to find the Spice Islands soon after entering the Pacific Ocean．But the three ships sailed west day after day．Many sailors died of hunger or disease．Finally，they reached the Philippine Islands．（54） ．

It was a beautiful Saturday morning，a perfect morning for playing or swimming．However，Tom had to finish the work．Aunt Polly gave him．As Tom started to paint Aunt Polly's very long fence，along came Ben Rogers with a juicy apple in his hand．
Tom was silent．He focused on his painting like an artist．
"Looks like a lot of work，Tom．"
Tom turned suddenly．"Oh，it's you，Ben! I didn't notice．"
"I'm going swimming．Don't you wish you could come instead of doing work？"
"What do you call work？"asked Tom．
"Isn't that work？"
Tom kept painting and answered carelessly，"Well，maybe it is，and may be it isn't．All I know is it isn't work for me．"
"Oh come on．You can't mean you like it？"
Tom continued painting．"Like it？Well，I don't see why not．Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence every day？"
That put the thing in a new light．Ben stopped eating his apple．Tom swept his brush carefully back and forth，added a touch of paint here and there，and stopped to take a look at it all．Ben watched every move and became more and more interested until he finally said，"Tom，why don't you let me paint a little？"
Tom considered Ben's offer．"Well，no，I can't let you，Ben．You see，Aunt Polly's very proud of this fence．I think there isn't one boy in a thousand，maybe two thousand，that can do it the way it's got to be done．"
"Oh come on．Let me try．I'd let you，if I were painting，Tom．"
"Ben，I'd like to，honestly，but Aunt Polly，well…"
"I'll be careful．Just let me try．I'll give you some of my apple．"
"Well，no，Ben．I'm afraid…"
"I'll give you all of it!"

UNICEF is the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund．
It raises money and helps millions of young people around the world．
There are four main UNICEF projects at the moment：
Under Fives．Every year，ten million young children die．We can stop this．We can give children a better start in life﹣healthy food，a good home and a good school．
Child Workers．Many children do not go to school﹣they work in factories．They often work twelve or fourteen hours a day．And about 300，000children in the world are soldiers（士兵）﹣﹣﹣some are only eight years old! This is wrong and we want to stop it．
Girls' Education．More boys than girls in the world go to school．Some girls do not learn to read or write and later in life they don't get good jobs．Education is good for both boys and girls．We want more girls in schools
Medicine．Every year more than two million children die diseases because they do not have enough medicine．Medicine is not expensive．We give medicine to 40% of the world's children，mainly in Africa and Asia．
