James wrote a play for television about a family who came to England from India, and the play was very interesting. It was bought by an American TV company.

James was then invited to go to New York to help them. He lived in Washington, which is an hour away from New York by air. The plane was going to take off at 8:30 in the morning. So he had to be at the airport at about 7:30. He ordered a taxi for 6:30 and went to sleep. He forgot to wind the clock, and it stopped after midnight. Also the driver of the taxi had to work very late that night and he got up very late the next morning.

James woke with the feeling that something was wrong. He looked at his clock. It stood there silently with the hands pointing to ten past twelve. He turned on the radio and knew it was ten. He was late for the plane. He was just preparing his coffee when the radio sent out another news, “Reports are coming in of a plane crash(飞机坠落)near Washington airport. A Boeing 707 fly to New York crashed shortly after taking off this morning. Plane number 2234...” James suddenly turned pale(苍白).”

Friendship is the most important thing in the world. But how do you find a real friendship and keep it?

An American writer tells young students some smart ways to find friends. He says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed(种子) and take care of(照顾) it to make it grow(生长).

First, to make friends, you must be kind and friendly to others. You should learn to smile at others and try to make a stranger(陌生人) feel at home. You should think more of others than of yourself.

Second, friends should negotiate(商量). When you don’t agree with someone, please discuss with him or her. But even the best friends can fight. After the fight, you have to talk to him or her. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter. Tell him or her how you are feeling, and tell him or her why you did this or that.

Finally, if he or she leaves you when you are in trouble, never believe in him or her. And never leave your friend when he or she is in trouble. Remember, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

Zhalong is a nature reserve in Heilongjiang in northeast China. It is one of the world's most important wetlands*. The reserve offers food and places to live in for wildlife. It is an ideal home for different kinds of plants, fish and birds.

Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round, but some only stay there for a short time. There are many fish in the wetlands, and the birds can easily catch them for food. Zhalong Nature Reserve is an important living area for red-crowned cranes*. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world. Some of them live in Zhalong.

Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.

More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space. Many of them died. The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered* birds, and they can be safe in Zhalong.

Every year, a lot of visitors go to Zhalong to watch birds. This year, members of our Birdwatching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalong and the changes in their numbers.

We do a bird count* once a year. We are now inviting middle school students to help. We need more people to help us count and do something to help the birds.
