假设你是《21世纪中学生英语报》高中版回音壁的编辑Tom，你收到学生李华的来信。请你根据来信的内容写一封回信，帮他出出主意。字数：100-120

Dear editor,

    I’m a Senior Three student. I’m unhappy these days. Last Tuesday, I was doing my homework with my favorite MP3 on in Self-Study Class. Suddenly my head teacher took my MP3 away from behind and the next day he scolded me before the whole class. I reasoned with him, only to make things worse. Is there anything wrong enjoying music? What can I do?

                                                       Yours sincerely,

                                                            Li Hua

Entire populations of American toads（蛤蟆）breed（繁殖）within the same few days at the same time each year, usually late April or early May. The toads hop to their breeding ponds after the ground has warmed and the first hard spring rain falls. To get there, many of the toads will cross roads that cut through their habitat. It will be a grand view of hopping toads as well as a disastrous killing by cars!

The toads are “slow in moving at that time of year―it’s still cool, they’ve been inactive―and they get killed” by cars when crossing roads, said Serrao, a naturalist. An April night five years ago, when Serrao went out to a country road to watch the moving of the toads, he counted 100 toads; 95 were hit by cars.

A similar story can be told for several other species of toads, frogs, crocodiles and turtles around the world.

The world’s amphibians are reducing, and road-killing is just one factor behind it. Other better-known causes of the decline include global warming, insecticides(杀虫剂), and the loss of wetlands.

Serrao says unless these animals get help crossing the road, their local populations will disappear.

Jackson, a biologist, said one way to help amphibians survive road crossings is to construct “amphibian tunnels” beneath the road. Jackson says tunnels should be a 0.6-meter-by-0.6-meter box, open at the top, and fitted with an iron grate（铁筛）to allow enough air and light into the tunnel. In addition, fences or walls should extend out from either side of a tunnel for about 30 meters, which guide amphibians toward the tunnels.

European countries have built amphibian tunnels for decades. Jackson led a team that installed the first such tunnel in America in 1987, which helped over 3/4 of the local amphibian population safely cross the road.

Jackson says that there are about a hundred amphibian tunnels in the US today, but many of them were not carefully designed and probably not working well because land developers wanted to save money.

The Gloria Barron Prize honors American young people from 8 to 18 who have shown leadership and courage in public service. Each year ten winners each receive $2,000 to support their higher education or their service work.

Ellie Wen, 18, was volunteering at a community center in Los Angeles. The center was set up to help immigrant families. She happened to meet adults in an EFL (English as a foreign language) class. “When I saw them struggling hard, I wondered how people in poor countries could learn English,” Ellie said.

So she started a Website, “Repeat After Us”, where people can listen to English and practice their accents. Volunteers have helped Ellie record more than 6,600 texts, including Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address”.

Hard work pays off. There were so many times that Ellie was discouraged, but she stuck to it. The Website crashed early on, and all the recordings were lost. But volunteers worked together vigorously to start over, and the visitors returned to the site.    

   “Just follow your idea and know that the world is so kind. Even if you do have trouble, people will help you,” Ellie said.

   “I was really excited the first month, when we had 49 visitors,” she said. Now, more than 480,000 people from all over the world have visited the site. “I get e-mails from China, Egypt, India, and Brazil. They say, ‘Thank you so much for this resource, we’ve been waiting for it for so long!’” Ellie loves knowing she is helping so many people.

Gloria Barron Prize winners like Ellie are enthusiastic about the work they do. And they encourage others to join in if they see a need. Anybody can be negative, but it takes somebody brave to be positive. Are you the brave one?
