cases releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries DGIF encourages fishermen who practice catch and

eyes Don t wipe the scales 鱼鳞 off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival Remove your hook 鱼钩 quickly If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach cut the line and leave the hook in The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water Release the fish when it begins to struggle and is able to swim Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it If you are going to release a fish do so right away With a little care and by following the

On Christmas Eve a few years ago an English couple received a very special telephone call It was only a 20 second call but it was very important The Haydens 15 year old daughter had disappeared six months before On Christmas Eve she rang them I m phoning to wish a happy Christmas she said I love you Ronals and Edwine Hayden were so happy that they started a special telephone service called Alive and Well The service helps parents to get in touch with children who have run away from home Young people can phone Alive and Well and leave a message for their parents The telephones are answered by answering machines So no one can speak to the child of making him return home Parents of runaway children who are under eighteen can ask the police to bring their children home so children do not want to tell their parents where 6 they are Through Alive and Well they can telephone their parents without worrying about this or giving out their addresses The Haydens and their helpers write down the tape recorded telephone messages and connect the address given Many of the 30 000 British teenagers who have left home are probably in London For only two pence they can go into a telephone coin box

their children C can say nothing to their children D can ask the police to help them to find lost children E What makes a gift special Is it the price you see on the gift receipt Or is it the look on the recipient s face when they receive it that determines the true value What gift is worth the most This Christmas I was debating what to give my father My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked The message was from my father My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming and underneath a poem by William Blake The flower a lone dandelion 蒲公英 standing against the bright blue sky inspired me My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid That may even be the reason why I love writing I decided that those words would be my gift to my father I called back I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my 7 gift I sent the photo of the cream colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe my dad recited it as much as he did the other I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of itit The poem was focused around dreaming and after searching I found the perfect picture The image was painted with blues and greens and purples twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream As I watched both poems passing through the printer the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate Christmas soon arrived The minute I saw the
