(北极地区). He was planning to walk to the North Pole all by himself, pulling his food, tent (帐篷) and
other things behind him in two sledges (雪橇). Because the Arctic is covered with ice and water, he would
sometimes have to sit on his sledges and use them like a boat!
Before he started his journey, to make himself stronger, Jeff spent 2 years practicing running and took
part in many boat races. He had also traveled in the Arctic for 28 years. All of this was good for him. But
there was still trouble.
Jeff was seven days into his journey in the Arctic. It was dark and terribly cold (-35℃). In face of this
terribly low temperature, he had made good progress across the ice. Suddenly, the ice broke and one of his
sledges fell into the sea. Jeff needed to get it back, so he had to put his hand into the ice-covered water.
Once he had got the sledge back, Jeff put up his tent, lit a fire and tried to warm up his cold hand. It was
no help-his hand was seriously hurt as it had been in the cold for so long. He radioed for help, and an airplane
was sent to save him. Finally, he arrived at a hospital in Canada. The doctors there said he hurt his left hand
in the icy water. They saved his hand and advised him not to travel to the North Pole alone any more.
But Jeff was an explorer and nobody could change his mind. It would be yet another long and difficult
challenge for Jeff soon.

High in the mountains, and deep in the forest, lives a lake with many plants and animals in and around her. The plants and animals have enough food and clean water to keep them healthy. The wind carries pure air, and the rain comes down clear and clean.
But recently, Lucy Lake and her friends haven’t been feeling very well. All the plants and animals get together to talk about the problem. “Why are we sick?” “What can we do?” ask all of them. No one has any answers.
Just then two hikers appear. The animals tell them about their problems. “Can you help us?” they ask. “Yes,” one hiker says. “I think it’s because of acid rain.”
“Acid rain comes from chemicals(化学物质) in the air. The pollution comes from factories, cars and trucks.”
“So, although I don’t want to, I help the pollution travel through the air!” says the wind. “And I carry it to the land!” cries the rain.
“If you can help us think of some solutions(解决方法), we will send a message to tell people how to clean up our environment,” one hiker says.
With the help of the plants and animals, the two hikers make a list of ideas for saving Lucy Lake and her friends.
Time passes, and the forest and lake begin to feel a little better.
The next time the hikers climb up the mountains to Lucy Lake, they smile at what they find. “We’re glad things have started to change,” one hiker says. “And we’re glad you helped us make a difference,” says the other.
