Here are two stories from different parts of the world．They seem strange but, believe it or not, they re all true!
John Lee was an Englishman who refused to be hanged! In 1884 the police said Lee had killed an old woman who he used to work with．There was nothing to show that Lee had killed the woman．Lee told the police he hadn't done it, but no one believed him and he was going to be hanged．On the day of the hanging, however, the door in the floor, through which Lee's body would fall, did not open．They tried three times but each time the door stayed closed, even though it had worked well the day before．In the end they sent Lee back to prison, where he lived for the next twenty-two years．At all times, John Lee said he hadn't killed the woman, and he believed it was the "hand of God" that had saved him from death by hanging．
The police in Venezuela(委内瑞拉)in South America followed a man home one night．He was the thief they wanted to catch．However, half of his house was standing in Venezuela and the other half was standing in Colombia(哥伦比亚)．Venezuela's neighbor．When the police entered the house, the man ran upstairs to his bedroom, which was in Colombia, and called his lawyer(律师)．The Venezuelan police were not allowed to enter Colombia so they could not enter the bedroom．They asked the police in Colombia to help．The Colombian police refused to help because the man's crime(罪行)was not a crime in Colombia．In the end, the Venezuelan police gave up and went back to the police station．

Want to save the environment? You probably can't fix everything on your own, but by taking small steps and keeping the environment in mind every day, you can make a difference,
1．Think Green．Challenge yourself to think about the environment as you live your life．If you shut off lights when you leave the room, turn off your TV when you're not watching it, you'll save energy．If you take shorter showers, you'll save water．
2．Shop Green．Shopping is fun, but buying things you don't need is wasteful and bad for the earth．Before you buy something, ask yourself how much you'll really use it．Keep yourself away from buying products with unnecessary packaging(包装), and whenever possible, buy things that were locally made instead of those shipped from far away．
3．Dress Green．Wear green trousers and T-shirts if you want．But what really matters isn't the colour, it's how the clothes were made．If you want to help the environment, the best place to find clothes is ata vintage store, but you might not want to buy everything used．No matter where you shop, keep an eye out for products made from environmentally friendly materials like organic(有机的)cotton, which is grown without the use of pesticides(杀虫剂)．
4．Study Green．What's better than learning about the environment? Save it while you learn, It can be as simple as using both sides of a piece of paper before you recycle it, or reusing an old textbook：instead of buying a new one．If you want to do more, join an environmental group at your school, and encourage your friends to join, too．

Dear Estelle, Saturday, 5th June
I hope you' re well and not working too hard! I' ve been revising for my exams now for the last two weeks．That' s why I haven' t written for such a long time．
Since the beginning of this year we' ve been doing a project called ' World Class'．Have you heard of it．'? Not everyone in the class could take part, but luckily I could．The school chooses a 'twin school'(姊妹学校)in a different area of the world．Our head teacher chose a school in Uganda．They gave us someone to write to from that school．For three months, I've written to a girl called Louisa, who is the same age as me．
It' s been m interesting to hear about her life．She' s told me all about her school and described her daily(日常的)life．I can' t believe that her School doesn' t．have any electricity．She goes to 'school from eight o' clock in the morning until six．O’clock．in the evening．I can' t believe how lucky we are here! She' s also told me that she often can' t go to school because she has to look after her baby brother and sister．She’s tried to teach me some of her language and it' s really difficult．
I love it because it' s the first time I' ve thought about what life must be like somewhere else．I can' t believe people miss classes here when everything is so easy for us．I think more people should help out with projects like this．At the weekend we' re going to have a sports day to help raise money to send to the school．Perhaps one day I'll be able to go to Uganda and meet Louisa myself--who knows?
Lots of 1ove,
Suzanne
