6．Watson entered Mr．Smith's office．The boss was a hard man．He fired people who didn't do well without giving them a second chance．
"Watson，"said Mr．Smith，"this past year your department hasn't earned money．We're going to drop that department．It's finished．I'm sorry，-but you'll have to go．""But，sir-if I just had a little more time．For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School．"
"What's that！"said the boss．"Riverside！I didn't know you had a boy there．That's an expensive school for a man with your salary．"
"I know，sir．But he likes it there so much！He's a star athlete and the best boxer in the school．The boys call him Champ （冠军）there．"
The boss sat perfectly still for a long time-a faraway （恍惚的） look in his eyes．Then，suddenly，he said，"We've got to close your department，Watson．But you'll take over a new job in another department．It means longer hours-maybe more pay．Now get out．You're here for life．"
Watson got out，with surprise on his face．Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk．It was Herbie's last letter from Riverside School-written a few days before he died．He had read it over and over again with sick pain．The letter read：
I can't say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were．I guess it's the same everywhere when you're a cripple （跛脚的人）．But don't worry about me，Dad．They've got a good chemistry department here．And there's one boy here who is really great．He's a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry．The boys call him Champ．He made them stop throwing my books around．And he knocked a boy down who hit me．He is the best friend I ever had．Dad，when I grow up，I want to do something for Champ．Something big-that he won't even know about．
Your son，
Herbie

5．Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and，at its best，it makes little environmental influence．But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness，it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively（不引人注目地）and leave no mark．
Wild camping is not permitted in many places，particularly in crowded lowland Britain．Wherever you are，find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces，and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building．For example，it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland，but in England you must ask the landowner's permission，except in national parks．
Camping is about having relaxation，sleeping outdoors，experiencing bad weather，and making do without modern conveniences．A busy，fully-equipped campsite seems to go against this，so seek out smaller，more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches．Better still，find a campsite with no road access：walking in makes a real adventure．
Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night's sleep．Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment．Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot．When camping in woodland，avoid standing dead trees，which may fall on a windy night．Avoid animal runs and caves，and possible homes of biting insects．Make sure you have most protection on the windward side．If you make a fire，do so downwind of your shelter．Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world．Avoid damaging plants．A good campsite is found，not made-changing it should be unnecessary．
