     After a serious earthquake, a man left his wife safely at home and rushed into his son's school only to find that the
building where his son studied had collapsed and looked like a pancake.
     He was too shocked. He didn't know what he should do for a while, and then he remembered the words he had said
to his son: "no matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. He started digging(挖)through the ruins.As he was digging, other helpless parents and the firemen arrived and tried to pull him off the
ruins,
saying," It's too late! They are all dead! There's nothing you can do!" To them he replied with one line:" are you now?" And then he kept on digging.
     No one helped, however. He went on alone because he needed to know for himself: "is my boy alive or dead?""He
dug for 8 hours...12 hours.…24 hours.…36hours…then, in the 39th hour, he pulled back a rock and heard his son's

told them if you were alive, you'd save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved. You promised (承诺) ' No matter
what happens, I'll always be there for you!' You did it, Dad!"
     "What's going on there? How is it?" the father asked.
     "There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We're frightened, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here. When the building
fell down, it made a triangle(三角形), and it saved us."
     "Come out, boy!"
     "No, Dad! Let my classmates out first, because I know you'll get me! No matter what happens, I know you'll always
be there for me!"

     A map is a picture of a place. There can be many different maps of the same place. A map cannot show
everything about a place. For a clear map, it must show a number of things. Here, you will get to make a map
which shows the things that make your community (社区) a special place to live in.
    Before you start drawing, make a list of the places and things in your community that you want to include
on your map. Think about places you often have to go to, places where your relatives and friends live and your
favorite places. How do you get there? What roads or paths do you take? What kind of things do you see along
the way? As you know, some maps are made to show locations and other maps show us how to get there.
They can also show the distances.
    Now, let's create a map of your community. On a large piece of paper, draw pictures of the places or the
things you decide to include on your map. Next, fill in the shapes of the places and roads in light colars. Using
darker colors, fill in the areas between the features and roads on your map to make your map more interesting
to look at. Every area of your map should be filled in with colors. When your map is finished, show it to your
friends or family members to see what they think of it.
