Claude and Louris are "giraffes (长颈鹿)". So are police officers Hankins and Pearson. These men and
women don't look like giraffes; they look like you and me. Then, why do people call them "giraffes"?
A giraffe, they say, is an animal that sticks (伸出) its neck out, can see places far away and has a large
heart. It lives a quiet life and moves about in an easy and beautiful way. In the same way, a "giraffe" can be a
person who likes to "stick his or her neck out" for other people, always watches for future happenings, has a
warm heart for people around, and at the same time lives a quiet and beautiful life himself or herself.
"The Giraffe Project (工程)" is a 10-year-old group which finds and honors (表彰) "giraffes" in the US
and in the world. The group wants to teach people to do something to build a better world. The group members
believe that a person shouldn't draw his or her head back; instead, they tell people to "stick their neck out" and
help others. Claude and Louris, Hankins and Pearson are only a few of the nearly 1,000 "giraffes" that the group
found and honored.
Claude and Louris were getting old and they left their work with some money that they saved for future
use. One day, however, they saw a homeless man looking for a place to keep warm and they decided that they
should "stick their neck out" and give him some help. Today, they lived in Friends' House, where they invite
twelve homeless people to stay every night.
Police officers Hankins and Pearson work in a large city. They see crimes (犯罪)every day and their
work is sometimes dangerous. They work hard for their money. However, these two men put their savings
together and even borrowed money to start an educational (教育的)center to teach young people in a poor part
of the city. Hankins and Pearson are certainly "giraffes".

| If we find a bird nest, we will have a good place of observing(观察) and knowing about birds. Birds sit on eggs and take care of their baby birds from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nest, mothers often leave and come back to the nest during the time to look for food. So it is good to observe birds. When we observe birds, we'd better hide ourselves in a close place to the nest, and it's better for you to use binoculars(双筒望远镜). But how to make a bird nest? It's very easy. If you want to make one, please follow these: Making a nest: A good nest must be very fine, strong, thick and easy. a) Each nest must have six boards. Don't make the boards b) Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a door. The "door" is from 3cm to 5cm. So the bird can fly in or out easily. c) Make sure the rainwater doesn't go into the nest. d) One piece of the boards should be easy to open. e) Please don't forget to color the nest.
