Do you feel lonely when your best friend isn’t around? Of course, yes. Here’s our advice to you—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems everybody else already has his or her friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say, “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help ---and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left. You can introduce him or her to your new friends! How do you feel when your best friend isn’t around you according to the passage?

Kathy could still remember the night she had to leave her home in Hungary．It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to leave their country as soon as possible．She quickly filled a bag with a few pieces of clothing，her diary，and her treasure﹣a beautiful silk scarf．
Kathy and her best friend，Monica，had asked their parents to buy them matching scarves．They each would wear the scarves as a symbol of their friendship．Kathy had no idea that she was going to America that night and would not be returning．
Kathy kept that special silk scarf for many years．One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter，Eliza，to wear to her first job interview for good luck．Kathy was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf，but the granddaughter promised，"Don't worry，Grandma，nothing's going to happen to your scarf．You'll see．It is going to bring both of us luck today．"And with that，Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview．
That afternoon Eliza left the interview，feeling sure that she had got the job．So she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant．As she was sitting at her table，she felt someone looking at her．Sitting next to her was an old woman，who could not take her eyes away from her．
"I'm sorry，do I know you？"Eliza asked．
"I'm sorry，dear，but you make me think of someone I once knew，"the old woman replied．"My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you're wearing around your neck．"Eliza listened carefully，with her eyes and mouth wide open．She had heard stories of her grandmother's best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf．Could this be Monica，her grandmother's childhood friend？
Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman．
"My name's Monica，dear．I lived in Hungary as a child，but my family had to leave when I was fourteen years old．I've been living here in California ever since．"said the old woman．

Have you ever been in a conflict（冲突）？Do you know how to solve it？Conflict resolution is a peaceful way of trying to solve a conflict．Both sides in the conflict explain what they think happened to cause it．The person who listens to both sides is called the mediator（调解人）．
After both sides tell what they think happened to cause the conflict，they discuss ways to solve it．They try to come up with a "resolution" that both sides agree to．They cannot be angry during the communication．Everyone should use good listening and attending skills while talking．If voices get too loud or it appears that someone is angry，the mediator will speak up and have them treat each other with respect．After different suggestions are shared in how to mediate the conflict，it is time for
discussing the best solution（解决办法）．
Here is an example of how conflict resolution works step by step in a school playground setting：
●Someone says a student pushed him on the football field．
●The person who was accused as the "pusher" says it was actually an accident．
●The person who was pushed gets the mediator．
●The mediator takes the two persons to a quieter place，away from others to talk．
●The mediator calms them down and lets them know he understands their feelings．
●Each person describes what happened
●The mediator repeats what he heard，so it is clear to everyone．
●The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem．
●The two persons offer their own solutions．
●The two persons have a discussion and come to an agreement．
●The mediator makes sure the persons follow the solution．
●The mediator offers praise for solving the problem．
Conflict resolution can be used in many environments．It encourages people to tell what really happened，to share their feelings，and to work together peacefully to solve the problem．It offers people workable steps to reach an agreement with the help of a mediator．

Around the world，there are about 7，000 National Parks．Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives．However，the National Parks in England include places where people live and work，as well as wild areas where there are few human activities．
The National Parks in England are called "England's Breathing Spaces" because they are places where people can go to be in the open air，away from the dirt and noise of cities．They provide wonderful scenes of mountains，woods，grasslands and wetlands．And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England．Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun．Many of the parks put on activities for families．
Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks，bringing many benefits（益处） to the areas．At the same time，it creates problems too．First，life can be difficult for local people．Car parks and roads are too crowded．Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops．Even house prices in some areas can become too high．Besides，country roads can be damaged，for too many people walk，cycle or ride horses on them．Roads can be rebuilt，but then they look less natural．Another big problem to the National Parks is litter．In the parks it is a danger to wild animals．Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun．Such fires in wild places can be out of control．All National Parks in England are making more rules，which tell people how to take good care of their environment．If these rules are followed，the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to
many people for a very long time．
