“It was said she was married to an officer in India long ago and she had a life of physical adventure as exciting as her poetry.Her husband could cross rivers,using crocodiles(鳄鱼) as stepping stones.He died when she was only thirty-nine.Unwilling to exist without him,she took her life,leaving a son in England.”

I stared at the paper,  26  reading,and I couldn’t help thinking.

They say,crocodiles are lazy animals as a rule,but they can  27  like lightning when they want to.And they don’t mind hurrying  28  they’re hungry.There used to be lots in Indianrivers,living on fish mostly;but what’s a little fish  29  a fifteen-foot crocodile?They ate people,fisherman or anyone else delicious enough to get too near;women doing the  30  ,or children playing at the water’s  31  .A hungry crocodile’s mouth  32  over a meal with a sound like a gunshot.A big fellow can  33  in a man in two bites.

That woman’s husband crossed rivers  34  from one crocodile’s back to the next.I believe it.It had to be done  35  before the creature could see what was happening.It wasn’t  36  a brave,active man;and no doubt he improved with practice.He could never look  37  while crossing.

The wife used to watch him—I felt  38  of that.She lived  39  the adventure the  40  excitement of it all.Their real life was with tigers,snakes....It’s no wonder she wrote  41  poetry.

Then he  42  .I imagined how she felt.Was there another man  43  him in India,in the world?She was still young,hardly a sitting-room widow(寡妇).“I must  44  ,too,”she said to herself.So she did what she felt she had to do.A  45  probably,to her head.

But her young son,their son?Was her love for him nothing compared to her husband?Well,what do you think?

I am so worried about global warming. We need stop cutting down all of the trees so that they can absorb the carbon dioxide. I think the Kyoto Protocol （京都议定书) to stop pollution is a great idea ,and I hope our country will decide to follow it, too.

                                                             — Eli S.,10,Texa

People should do all they can to help stop pollution, even if it is something as little as recycling your soda can. Every little thing helps. Maybe schools can put recycling bins in classrooms. Students can bring in all of their cans and bottles and see how many the school can collect.

                                                  — Lindsey A.,11, Massachusett

The United States should take action to help stop pollution. Since we are one of the richest countries, we should at least spend a little money to help.

                                                  — Aaron z,11,Massachusett

It is not good that the United States is not following the Kyoto Protocol. The U.S. is one of the most pollution emitting (污染物排放)countries in the world. Even if the rest of the world agrees to follow those rules, without the U. S. and its big businesses agreeing, global warming will still be a big problem.

                                                         —Augustine S.,11,Ohio

The world needs to learn more about global warming problems. If we do not do something soon then some of Earth’s coolest animals will become extinct. People should use solar power instead of things that pollute the atmosphere!

                                                    — Jillian J.,10,Pennsylvania

Global warming is very dangerous, and it must be prevented. Even if people think that it cannot be stopped ,we should  at least try. Stopping global warming is more important than keeping our businesses going. What about the penguins(企鹅)and the polar bears? We can’t just let them become extinct.

                                                        —Samantha R.,11,Illinois
