Julia Hill, an American woman, was born in 1974．She was 23 years old when she discovered that a company wanted to cut down part of a forest in California．In the forest there were lots of redwood trees．One of the trees was 70 metres tall and 1000 years old．
Julia wasn't happy about this．She travelled to California and climbed up the tree．‘If I sit in the tree．' she said, ‘the company can't cut it down．' At the beginning, Julia planned to stay in the tree for two weeks．She lived in a small tree-house and her friends were very happy-they cooked food for her every day．She used her mobile phone to talk to her family and to news reporters．She stayed in the tree day and night．
Environmental organizations supported her, but other people weren't on her side and they tired to stop her．The company used a helicopter that stayed near her tree-house for a long time．The helicopter was very noisy and there was a lot of wind．Julia didn't like it, but she stayed in the tree．
In the end, she was successful．The company agreed not to cut down the redwood．Finally, after two years and eight days in the tree, Julia Hill climbed down and walked on the ground again．She and her friends were very happy．

Julia lived in the countryside, but one year she decided to visit the capital city to do some shopping and to see the sights．She stayed at a hotel near the central market．She had seldom been to the city before, and was very excited about what she would find．
On the first morning of her visit, as she walked from the hotel to the market, she passed a beggar(乞丐)．He was holding up a notice, which said, “Blind from birth．Please give generously(慷慨地)．” Julia felt sorry for the blind beggar and she bent down and put a dollar coin into his bowl．“Thank you．” he said．
The same thing happened again the following day．On the third day, however, Julia did not have a dollar coin．She had only fifty cents, so she dropped this into the beggar's bowl．“What have I done wrong? ” the beggar said, “Why are you so stingy(吝啬的)today? ”Julia was very surprised at what the beggar said．“How do you know I haven't given you a dollar? ” she said, “If you’re blind you can't know what coin I put into your bowl．” “Ah, ” explained the beggar, “The truth is that I'm not blind．I'm just looking after this place for the regular beggar while he's on holiday．” “On holiday? ” Julia said, “And what exactly does your blind friend do on holiday? ” “He goes into the countryside, ”the man said, “and takes photographs．He's a very good photographer．”

“ I want to play as long as my legs can take me．I don’t want to stop playing, but if it comes to a point where I can’t do it at the top level any more, then I will stop．But for me, I want to keep playing for Real Madrid and keep playing for England as long as I can．”
