Ms James: This morning’s class is about first aid (急救), or offering someone medical help. Let’s imagine an accident. A boy is lying on the ground. He isn’t moving or making a sound. He is in a lot of pain (痛苦万分). What can we do to help him?

Betty: First of all, find out what’s the matter with him.

Ms James: How do we do that?

Betty: Ask him.

Ms James: Ok. But he could have trouble hearing you or speaking to you.

Ms James: Good idea, but what should we do before help arrives?

Tony: Make him comfortable.

Ms James: And how can we do that?

Once upon a time, there was a very special little witch (女巫). She was special because she was kind, but she had no idea how to put that kindness into practice. And she couldn’t find anyone to teach her how to do good. So the little witch was sad most of the time.

One day she heard that the old witches were planning to cast a spell (咒语) on a big mountain and turn it into a volcano (火山), which would destroy (破坏) a small town. The good little witch then went to tell the people about this, but they didn’t believe her and threw stones at her.

The little witch ran off, and sat crying at the side of the road. Soon a few children came by. She told them everything. The children told her that doing good was very easy. All you had to do was to help others, do good deeds (做好事) for them.

“And what can I do for you?”, asked the witch.

“You could give us some candies!” They told her, happily. The witch was very worried, because she had no candies, and she didn’t know the spell for making them. But the children didn’t mind, and they went off to play.

The little witch was encouraged (受到鼓励) by this, and decided to help everyone. On her way, she met the old witches casting their spell on the mountain. Some magic words came into her head. Suddenly the fire on the mountain turned into lots of candies and fell onto the town below.

And that’s how the little witch learned how to do good: by sincerely (真诚地) wanting to help others. From that day on, everyone made friends with her, and they called her The Candy Witch.

1. Why was the little witch always sad?

2. What did the old witches plan to do?

3. Who saved the people in the small town?

4. What do you think of the children in the story?

5. How should we do to put kindness into practice?

Many young people in China today are only worried about getting good jobs to make lots of money. In their free time, they think about what to do for fun.   1    Every year thousands of young people in England finish school and then take a year off before they start work or go to universities. Some young people go to other countries and work as volunteers.    2    For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for the environment.

    Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales.    3    However, now, she’s living in Belize (伯利兹,中美洲国家). 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, the coral dies. I’m helping to do research (研究) on the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are dying.    4   ”

    “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!    5    I want to travel around Belize and Central America.”
