My neighbor's children love playing hide-and-seek as all children do, but no one imagine that

a game they played last week would be reported in the local newspaper.

One afternoon, they were playing in the vacant lot down the corner. Young Paul, who is only

five years old, found the perfect place to hide. His sister, Natalie, had shut her eyes and was

counting to ten when Paul noticed the storage mail box at the corner and saw that the metal door

was standing open. The mailman had just taken out several sacks of mail and had carried them to

his truck which was standing at the curb a few feet away. Paul climbed into the storage box and

pulled the door closed so hard that it locked. Soon realizing what he had done, he became

frightened and started crying. Meanwhile, Natalie was looking for him everywhere but could not

find him. It was lucky that she happened to pause at the corner for a minute and heard her

brother's cries. She immediately ran to tell the mailman who hurried back from his truck to unlock

the metal door. Paul was now free, but he had had such a bad scare that he could not stop crying.

The mailman, however, soon found a way of making him laugh again. He told him that the next

time he wanted to hide in a mail box, he should remember to put a stamp on himself!

Summary:

The children were playing hide-and-seek in a vacant lot one afternoon. Finding that the

storage mailbox had been left open, Paul hid and locked himself in it accidentally. His sister,

Natalie, heard his cries and realized where he was hiding, so she immediately told the mailman to

unlock the metal door. After letting him out, the mailman made him stop crying by telling him to

put a stamp on himself the next he wanted to hide in a mailbox.

Why do some animals die out?

In the past two hundred years people have caused many kinds of animals to die out--to

become extinct. People keep building houses and factories in fields and woods. As they spread

over the land, they destroy animals' homes. If the animals can't find a place to live, they die out.

Sixteen kinds of Hawaiian birds have become extinct for this reason. Other animals, such as the

Florida Key deer, may soon die out because they are losing their homes. Hunters have caused

some animals to become extinct, too. In the last century, hunters killed all the passenger pigeons in

North America and most of the buffalos.

Today they are fast killing off hawks and wolves. Pollution is killing many animals today, too.

As rivers become polluted, fish are poisoned. Many die. Birds that eat the poisoned fish can't lay

strong, healthy eggs. New birds aren’t born. So far, no animals have become extinct because of

pollution. But some, such as the bald eagle and the brown pelican, have become rare and may die

out.

Scientists think that some animals become extinct because of changes in climate. The places

where they live become hotter or cooler, drier or wetter. The food that they eat cannot grow there

any more. If the animals can't learn to eat something else, they die. Dinosaurs may have died out

for this reason.

Summary:

In the past two hundred years, many kinds of animals have died out. There are several

reasons for it. First, people keep building houses and factories in fields and woods, which destroys

animals' homes. Then, hunters' killing has also caused some animals to become extinct. Besides,

some animals aren't able to bear strong offspring and nor do they have enough food to eat because

of pollution and climatic changes.

Love languages

Do you know love what “love languages” are? Love languages are different ways that people

show their love to others. We all want to have relationships where we can show our love to others

and have them communicate love to us in return. In order to be successful in communicating love,

we need to understand what the different love languages are. There are five important love

languages that people need to know about to communicate effectively with others.

The first love language is Quality Time which refers to spending time together with the

person you are trying to show your love to. This love language will cause people to feel loved

when they are taken out on special dates, when their friend changes their schedules to be with

them, or when they turn the television off to talk with them. It means giving all of your attention

to another person.

Another love language is Words of Attention as a way to show your love. Telling your

boyfriend or girlfriend how you appreciate them, encouraging them, and through words praising

them will show people that you love them. Telling someone “I believe in you” can really make
