We had a new student at the school, whose name was Johnson. Johnson had been with us for only a short while and was still trying to fit in, so I was a little surprised when he volunteered to read. I asked him to read, but inside I wished that the other students would not laugh at him.Johnson began to read, ”If I had one wish, it would be to meet my dad ” He started out loud and clear. He told how he had never seen his father. He told how he tried to be the only man in the house at such a young age.I took a look at the students. I knew some kids liked to laugh at others. However, all of my students were listening. They were letting him do this, I thought. They were allowing him to share something.“If I had one wish, it would be to meet my dad, so I wouldnt have to close my eyes every night just wondering what he looks like, ” Johnson finished.

Many scientists believe that the climate is changing.The earth will perhaps be warmer by about 7 degrees centigrade. At the South Pole and the North Pole, the ice will melt (融化). The sea level (海平面) will rise by about 7meters. As a result, water will cover cities like London, Tokyo and New York. Some ports and towns along the coasts will disappear under water.Some other scientists think that the dust, smoke and pollution from coal, wood and oil fires will block out the sunrays(紫外线). Then the earth will become colder and great sheets of ice will cover Europe and North America.When chemicals in the air mix with rain, we have acid (酸) rain. Acid rain can bring us great harm. It destroys forests and kills life in lakes and rivers.People are beginning to see how serious the problem is. They find it important to work with nature instead of against it. They are trying to save the earth in many different ways.

About 4% of the population is what scientists call amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amuics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feel like be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,”says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify(辨别) this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different for those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex(复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just cant see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem music. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ”No, thanks.
