Americans think that travel is good for you . Some even think it can help to solve one of the country’s worst problems ---crime .

Crime worries a lot of people . Every year , the number of crimes goes up and up . They often come from sad homes , with only one parent at all . There are problems with alcohol(酒精) and drugs(毒品).

There are many young criminals in prison . But prison doesn’t change them—60 to 70 percent will go back to crime after they are out of prison .

One man , Bob Burton , thought of a new idea . In the old days , young men had to live a hard life on the road . They learnt to be strong and brave , and to help their friends in time of danger . This helped them to grow into men . So Bob started “Vision Quest ”.

He takes young criminals on a long , long journey with horses and wagons(四轮马车) 3,000 miles through 7 states . They are on the road for more than one year .

The young people on “Vision Quest ”all have bad problems . Most of them have already spent time in prison . This is the last chance .

It’s hard work on the road . The day starts before the sun comes up . The boys and girls have to feed the horses . Some of them have never loved anyone before . But they can love their horses . That love can help them to a new life .

Not all young people in “Vision Quest” will leave crime behind them , 30 or 40 percent will be in the prison again . But that’s a lot better than 60 to 70 percent . Bob is right . Travel can be good for you .

Even today , Americans still say , “ Go west , young men . ”

The greatest feeling in the world comes not from receiving presents, or even getting an A on the math test you studied so hard for. Rather, it          when you hand a cup of hot coffee to that older man sitting on the side of the street asking for money. You feel it when you drive an hour and a half to a          to meet children with cancer. And you feel it when you sit down with your friend to comfort her          her mother died. Helping others can be the greatest feeling in the world, and I          this just one year ago.
My friend asked me to attend a Youth Group meeting at his church. After an hour of listening to them         their opinions, I was invited to go with them to help          the homeless.
Early that Saturday morning, a team of 15 teenagers began making sandwiches and counting bags of candy. For the first time in my life I realized that we, the teens of America, can make a        . Since it was my first time, and I wasn’t part of the group, I felt a little out of place. But watching the others          the food drove my nervousness away.
Before long, all 150 bagged lunches were gone and the group was          its way home. I realized that not only is my friend an amazing person, but that all of those people are amazing. That’s what made me join the Youth Group.
I work at a coffee shop but don’t make much. It’s not the best job, but there are times when it’s worth it. For example, a few weeks ago, when the store was         and I was bored, looking out of the window, I noticed an old man sitting outside. He had been there before. As a matter of fact, he          came in to buy anything because he didn’t have any money. I took up a cup of coffee, walked outside, and handed it to him. The smile on his face made my day, and as I walked back into the store, I put my own money into the drawer. Then I knew how the members of the Youth Group feel every time they help someone. Knowing that you can help
is        – the greatest feeling in the world.

In the 13^th century, the famous Indian traveller, Marco Polo, travelled a long way to China. He saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15^th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7^th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.
So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs（手帕） and paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and refuse（拒绝）it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.
