14．Dear humans(人类)
　　It's the first time I write to you, my children. First, let me tell you more about my family. Dear humans, I have many other children. Some of them fly in the sky;some of them swim in the water;some live in
ice-covered places;some run in the grasslands.
　　Some of them are very small;some of them are as big as cars, such as elephants.
　　They might be very close to you, or even live in your house. But there are others that you may never have the chance to meet.
　　You bring them home to be your friends and helpers. You put them in zoos. You kill (杀害) them for their meat, even for fun. They bring you money and happiness, but also bring you diseases (疾病) and death (死亡).
　　I hope you can remember that wild animals are not your food, clothes or furniture. They are not killers, either. They are, in fact, your brothers and sisters. You should grow up together.
　　Humans, you are smart and hardworking. You can decide where you go, as well as where I go.
　　But you are not kind to me. You change my weather, my lands, my forests, my rivers…. You ask so much of me, more than what I can give you. I'm worried that one day you will be lonely (孤单的).
　　So, grow up, humans. I hope you and all the wildlife can live happily in my arms.
Yours,
Mother earth

15．　　COVID-19 (新冠肺炎) has made our life very different. Some of us improved our hygiene habits (卫生习惯). Others learned how to cook. And more people fell in love with biking.
　　Yang Xiaomeng lives 11km away from her workplace in Beijing. The 26-year-old girl has been riding to work for the last three months. "I used to take the underground. But now riding a bike seems to be a safer choice," she said.
　　Yang finds that biking is more relaxing and enjoyable than taking the crowded underground. "There is more fresh air on the road. It's also a good way to stay fit. I'll keep biking as my new habit, "she said.
　　According to Xinhua, many people turned from the bus or the underground to biking. The number of people on bikes on Beijings bike only lane (车道) goes up by 17. 6%, for example.
　　In other cities around the world, biking is also becoming more popular. London closed large parts of city to cars so that people can ride bikes safely. New York, Berlin and Montreal created new, wider bike lanes for people to ride. These cities believe that if there are safer and more comfortable places for biking, more people will ride bikes in the future. This will make the cities greener and cleaner, and their people happier and healthier.

17．　　Most people like going on holiday. Holidays are certainly a great way to relax yourself and open your eyes. But before taking a trip, we all have to decide whom to travel with — is it better with family, with friends or alone?
　　Holidays with family can be hard and there can be many arguments (争论). In my family, Dad always wants to go to a museum, Mom and sister want to shop, and I want to try local food. It's hard for the family to agree with each other. Traveling with family can be very cheap or even free, though, if parents pay.
　　Holidays with friends are not usually cheap and money is always the most important. It's normal (正常的) for everyone to have different budgets. However, it can be great fun. It's also good for learning more about your friends and sharing experiences together. Also, traveling with friends is a good way to improve a friendship.
　　Traveling alone has advantages. You can choose what you want to do and it can also be a good chance to meet people, especially when staying in hotels. Of course, traveling alone is not always good. You can be lonely and, sometimes, there is no one to talk to. And, when at a bus station or airport, there is no one to look after your suitcase (行李箱) when you want to go to the bathroom.

18．　　There are four seasons in Beijing. They are spring, summer, autumn and winter.
　　Spring in Beijing comes in early April and lasts till the end of May. Spring in Beijing is always warm, windy and dry. The temperature rises in spring, but there is a big difference in temperature between the day and the night. Do wear warm clothes while enjoying outdoor nightlife.
　　Summer in Beijing is from early June to mid September. It's very hot. The hot summer calls for light clothes as the temperature in July and August is between 30℃ and 40℃. Remember to bring an umbrella or a raincoat with you because there's much rain.
　　The short but beautiful autumn from mid September to the end of October is the best season for travel in Beijing. Autumn in Beijing is cool and comfortable. You can visit the Great Wall happily. From late October, the temperature drops quickly, so don't forget to bring warm clothes at that time.
　　Beijing has a cold, dry and long winter from early November to the next March. The nearly five months' winter is very cold. The temperature in December, January and February would usually be below 0℃. Be sure to bring winter clothes. Spring Festival usually falls in January or February. Although Beijing is very cold at that time, travelling in the city at that time would be unforgettable as you can experience the biggest traditional festival.

19．　　We spent our holiday with our uncle. He loved to go on walks to collect stones. One day, he bought us bags and asked us to go on a mountain with him, and carry the stones.
　　We walked around all day long. Now and then he put stones in our bags. He also took some stones out from our bags from time to time. But we thought he had just found better stones.
　　When we returned to the house, we were very tired. The bags were so heavy that we felt relaxed when we put them down. However, my uncle's bag was much lighter.
　　"Why did you put so many stones into our bags?"we asked.
　　"I didn't. You did, "he said. "You didn't know it, but I gave you a test(考验)today. I listened to every word you said. Whenever you were complaining(抱怨), I put a stone in your bags. Whenever you talked about something with positive(乐观的)thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your bags. "
　　Our bags were full of stones.
　　"Your negative (消极的) thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in your bags. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind is. "
　　With great love, our uncle taught us one of the most important lessons in life.
