3．　　When I was in the seventh grade, I had problems behaving well. My heart was in the right place, but I couldn't always follow the rules. I played many tricks on my schoolmates. Once, I even pulled a girl's hair on the school bus to get her attention. As a result, was repeatedly sent to the office of the headteacher. Although I hated going there, I did not hate the headteacher, Mr. Ratcliff.
　　Mr. Ratcliff was a kind, elderly man. When he spanked (打屁股) me for putting some ants into a classmate's pencil box, it didn't hurt at all, but it did hurt my feelings. I thought so much of him and moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad.
　　When I got called to Mr. Ratcliffs office for the sixth time, I had no idea what I had done. I felt disappointed as I walked down there. I went into his office, sat down, and looked at the floor. Then he said the last thing I expected to hear, "Kevin, I've heard you've been behaving really well lately. I want you to know how proud I am of you, and I just called you down to my office to give you a bookmark."
　　"Really?" I was surprised.
　　"Yes. Now you can take that bookmark and go back to class."
　　I carried the bookmark with me as if it was a gold coin. When I got into my classroom, I bragged (吹嘘) to my classmates about my turnaround, excitedly. I wasn't so bad after all.
　　Mr. Ratcliff was really kind. He made me realize that I was just a kid who had problems with behavior. He bought some bookmarks and took the time to notice me when I got something﹣anything﹣right. Mr. Ratcliff gave me some hope by giving me some love. I will just remember him for the rest of my life.

4．　　When you think of the Arctic (北极), you imagine an icy land of pure white snow. Others imagine it as the last really clean place left on earth. "We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish. And now," CNN says, "It's the Arctic's turn."
　　German scientists have recently found microplastics in Arctic snow. Microplastics are pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters. Sadly, the scientists found 1, 800 pieces of microplastics per liter of (每升) snow.
　　How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic?According to scientists, "It's clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air." They fall of the plastic objects and are moved by the wind, just like dust. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow. Finding these plastics in Arctic snow means that we may breathe them in.
　　Are they bad for us? Scientists cannot answer this question for now, according to the WHO. We do know that our bodies cannot take in "large" pieces of microplastics. However, if the plastics are small enough, they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time, which can be bad for our health. What's more, earlier studies have shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk.
　　Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world. Earlier research has found that they flow over long distances and into our oceans, hurting ecosystems along the way. They start in our wastewater, then flow into rivers and out to the sea, where they are eaten by sea animals. If people then cat these﹣animals, it means that we're eating the plastic as well.
