Little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests.Then it reached a desert,"I went through so many difficulties.I should have no problem crossing the desert," she thought.As she started,she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand.After many tries,she still failed."Maybe I can' t reach the ocean," she said sadly to herself.
At this time,a deep voice said,"If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert,so can a river."
It was the voice of the desert.But the little stream answered,"A breeze can fly,but I can' t." "That' s because you can' t give up what you are.Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze,and it can take you across," said the desert."Give up what I am now? No! No!" The little stream could not accept this idea."The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain.The rain will form a river again," said the desert."And whether you are a river or vapor,your nature never changes." Hearing this,the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze.It carried her to the next stage of her life.

Our class had a weekly class meeting this week. We talked about how to deal with lies, hoates (骗局) or rumors(谣言). Here are the stories some students told.
Zhang Wei: Yesterday my friend Jim went to school without his homework. He told his teacher that his dog ate it. It was just an excuse, he made it to cover the fact that he didn't do his homework. The teacher knew about that and made him stay to finish his homework after school. Sometimes we think we can avoid trouble by making excuses when we do something wrong, but we're really making the things worse.
Chen Ping: Last week I got a menage. It said, "A little girl called Julia has got brain cancer. The girl will get three cents from America Online each time this message is forwarded(转发). So please be kind and forward this to everyone you know. If not, you will have bad luck for a year." In fact, it is just one of the silly chain letters to cheat you and waste your time.
Xu Yan: A big earthquake hit Ya'an, Sichuan on April 20th. The earthquake was strongly felt by people in Chengdu. A rumor said Chengdu would be hit by a bigger earthquake in the coming days.
For the next several days, thousands of people camped outside their houses at night because of fear. Besides, many people rushed to buy food, water, medicine and so on. Some businessmen used people's fear of earthquake to help sell their goods at higher prices. Of course, nothing happened in the end.

Craig Kielburger was born in Canada on December 17th, 1982 and spent his childhood there. He often took part in sports, and he liked to help people. When Craig was twelve, he read a story in Toronto Star newspaper about a poor boy. The poor boy was killed because he fought for the rights of children. The poor boy was just twelve year old, too. After reading this article, Craig was so angry that he decided to help the children who should go to school instead of working in factories all day in some countries. So he gathered his friends and started a group the Twelve﹣Year﹣Olds. Soon many children joined them and they called the organization Free the Children. The organization has helped develop the education in Kenya, India, China and other countries. Today, they have built more than 700 schools and school rooms in these countries. They have also provided clean water, health care for more than one million people around the world.
