25、Once, there was a little grey planet. People living on it hadn’t looked after it well. Although they had all kinds of inventions and spaceships beyond our imagination, they made the planet full of rubbish and pollution. As a result, there were no plants or animals left.

One day, a little boy was walking on the planet. When he passed a cave(山洞), he noticed a small red flower in it. The flower was sick. It was almost dying. The boy dug it out carefully with root and some soil. Then he tried to find somewhere to plant it. After he searched all the planet, there is no proper place because of rubbish and pollution. He looked up in the sky and he found the moon. He thought the flower might grow well on the moon. So he climbed into a spaceship with the flower and flew to the moon. He grew the flower on the moon and looked after it every day. The flower started to grow so well that several days later it gave birth to many little flowers. Soon these flowers spread all over the moon and the moon was covered with red flowers.

When the flowers open, the moon looks red, like a warning light. If we don’t look after our earth, the day will come when flowers will only be able to grow on the moon.

26、Young people and older people don’t always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.

Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses. The adults teach them these skills.

When people live together, rules are necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”
