21、Dear Mum and Dad，

I promised to write，so...

We're staying with Lingling's uncle in Hunan Province, and I'm having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It's a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It's very large, about 480 square kilometres. It's famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals.

Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard a noise! It woke everybody up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling's uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.

This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then we walked down the path along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp. I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling's uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that we should protect everything here. I was very sorry.

Tomorrow we're going to Dongting Lake, the second-largest lake in China.

We'll be back home next week! Wish you were here!

Love，

Betty

22、Like the special ebony sculpture in some African countries and the amazing patchwork quilt in America, papel picado is also another beautiful kind of art. This paper art began in Mexico. However, the thin paper didn't come from Mexico. In fact, it came from China.

Then artists put the pattern on top of the paper to make the design (设计). Finally, cut through the paper.

How do people use papel picado today?

The Paper Boy

Before I could turn 10, I had lost my parents. To support myself and my education, I began to deliver newspapers.

I would get up every morning at 5 am and walk five kilometers from Hydery to the newspaper office in Bazar. By 6 am, I would collect 50 copies of newspaper which must have weighed over five kilos. After delivering them, I would rush home, another three kilometers away, cook my breakfast, eat quickly and go to school.

One morning, I found a boy of my age at my doorstep. He introduced himself as Jimmy and said his parents wanted to see me. I guessed they wished to subscribe to (订阅) the newspaper, so I followed him to his place nearby.

Jimmy's mother opened the door. She served me a large plate of snacks and fruit salad. It was a rich breakfast, one that brought back memories of the happy time with my parents. As I was about to leave, Jimmy's father, Mr. Kader, appeared with a new bicycle.

"This is for you!" He said, patting my shoulder.

"But I have no money!" I replied.

"Who is asking you to pay for this, my son?" He continued.

It took me a few seconds to sense the warm moment. I didn't even realize my tears were rolling down my face. Jimmy's mother held me closely. It was like home, as if my mother were there.

I bowed, thankfully, and left. This time, I didn't have to walk—I had the bicycle!

The bicycle saved my life for many years thereafter and taught me a lifelong lesson: Help should always be need-based.

【1】How did the writer support himself?

A.By selling the newspaper. B.By collecting newspaper. C.By delivering newspaper.   D.By printing the newspaper.

【2】Jimmy's parents asked the writer to their home because _______.

A.the tool of his childhood

D.something that got him out of difficulties

Help sick people. Helping others can make you feel good. When you cheer sick people up, you also feel happy. If you have several hobbies, find a way to do them all.
