　　As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Longzhou, Guangxi.On my way there, I was thinking about the village, the school, and the children there.However, my heart sank when I arrived there.It wasn't what I had expected.It didn't look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and the other for Grades 4, 5 and 6.There was a third one for me.The children welcomed me warmly on my first day.They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai.The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level.To my surprise, though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things.I knew they needed me.I was busy preparing lessons, checking test papers every night.I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hard-working children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help.I have also learned a lot from them.I understand their lives better, and we are now good friends.

　　Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked(渗)into the room.
　　On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto Cement(水泥) might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.

The Grand Canyon
　　Probably you have seen photographs of the Grand Canyon, the great valley in the desert country of Arizona. But you must go there yourself to feel its true size and beauty. The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world.
　　The Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon over millions of years. Slowly, the river cut down through hard rock. At the same time, the land was rising. Today, the canyon is one and a half kilometers deep and 445 kilometers long. The oldest rocks at the bottom of the canyon are more than billion years old. The width varies from about 200 metres to 29 kilometers across. The rim or top of the canyon is about 2, 300 metres above sea level on the South Rim∙ and about 3, 000 metres on the other side, the North Rim. As a result, there are different kinds of plants and animals on opposite sides of the canyon. The South Rim is dry desert country. The North Rim has tall forests.
　　The canyon looks different at different times of day. and in different seasons and weather. At sunrise and sunset the red, gold, brown, and orange colours of the rocks are especially clear and bright. In winter, the canyon is partly covered with snow.
　　The view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the best. Most visitors come to the South Rim and stay in campgrounds or hotels. Every point along the canyon's edge offers a different view.
　　The North Rim of the Canyon is quieter. It takes ail day to drive there from the South Rim because there is only one bridge across the Colorado River. On the way, you go through Navado Indian lands, and a colourful pink desert called “The Painted Desert”.
　　You can walk down into the Grand Canyon, or you can go down on the back of a mule. You can also take a boat trip down the Colorado River, and camp on the beaches at night. But whether you see the Grand Canyon from the top or the bottom ∙ it will be an experience that you will never forget.
