“Before I came here,” one child said, “I thought swimming was running through an open fire hydrant(消防龙头).”

“Here” is a summer camp that’s only an hour from New York City—but a world away. This camp is run by the Fresh Air Fund(基金会). Since 1877, the fund has helped poor children from New York City spend summers in the country. Each year, over one thousand children, age 6—18,take part in the program. Some stay at the camp; others live with host families. The fund pays all money.

The camp is for 8 to 15-year-olds. At camp, children can learn about the stars, see deer and cows and other animals, and go hiking, fishing, and of course swimming. The children learn responsibility(责任) by helping out with chores like making beds and waiting on tables. They also learn a lot from teachers, who are often college students from around the United States and from other countries.

Host families from thirteen states and Canada offer to have children spend the summer with them. Many of these families have their own children. The visiting children become part of the family. They go with the family on picnics, to the pool or beach, and on trips. The children are from 6 to 12 years old when they make their first visit, and most are invited back. Some of the children and families become friends for life.

A. is in the city of New York

Some people like to collect stamps. Others prefer posters or coins. But Pinky Bhutia is different. She collects children. In her mountain village, in Sikkim, she is known as the wonderful young woman who adopts(领养) all the children she can.

Pinky was 14 when she adopted her first child, a Nepali baby girl, whose parents passed away. Pinky’s parents did not mind. Pinky left school and started working fulltime because she had a baby to feed. Today, she has twelve adopted children, and two sons from her marriage.

Pinky is about 30 years old and she comes from a common family. If you passed her on the street, you wouldn’t give her a second look. She lives in a brown mud-washed(泥刷的) house. There is a vegetable garden outside. Red hens with noisy chicks run all over the garden looking for food.

If you ask her why she provides a home to so many kids, she smiles shyly. But her eyes are serious. “I know what it is to be poor and hungry.” As a child, her only dream was to eat a full meal, and her favourite amusement was watching people with shoes and imagining what it felt like. By adopting poor and homeless children she is making sure that they never feel that hopeless.

Pinky feels very proud when she sees her children happy and bright. Her oldest baby, Sarita Rai, is now 20 years old. Then, there is 19-year-old Nimbhe who came to Pinky because her mother was unable to look after her. She started to work in a government office two years ago. Ten-year-old Bhim and 14-year-old Kumar came to Pinky five years ago, after their father’s death. They started living on a patch of land given by Pinky and grew vegetables for sale.

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.

One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished, gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, saying , “You don’t say!” I was puzzled, I thought, perhaps this is not a proper topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic” So I said to him, “Well shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide, “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world, We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his order “You don’t say!”I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about is?” “Well, I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised .I said , “Didn’t you say you don’t say?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed into tears .He began to explain, “You don’t say actually means really? It is an expression of surprise .Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.”

Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago, Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you .It is a device(装置)which uses satellite(卫星)to find the user’s position(位置).It can find your position to within 20 meters. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.

GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone, You can hold it in your hand, or put your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone, We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these device have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.

There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算)its position. The third part of the system is a network of group stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.

Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate (精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.
