Play and drama are closely linked. When children play a game, they are using their and moving away from reality to their own story. Drama is a vehicle which children can express themselves more freely to make education fun.
Children gain by understanding that there is no final answer in drama and that their opinion and contribution are valued. They are able to to many issues and situations such as poverty, recycling and global warming. Drama and have a strong link as drama can children to take an active interest in other subjects such as geography, history and English and so they can a more rounded education.

Another secret of animals’ survival is telepathy（心灵感应）. This sense becomes atrophied（衰退） in man, but a(n) 1 thought-communication functions in animals. Elsa, the lioness, frequently 2 when George and I intended to visit her camp, even though it 3 180 miles from our home in Isiolo. On most 4 when we made our irregular visit she was waiting for us. By following the spoor（野兽的足迹），we 5 that she had sometimes walked 50 or 60 miles to meet us.
The same thing 6 when I took Elsa’s sisters to Nairobi to be flown to the Rotterdam zoo, Elsa’s zoo. Elsa stayed behind with George in Isiolo 180 miles 7 . He did not know when I was coming back, no person knew. But Elsa knew. On the morning of my 8 she sat down at the entrance and wouldn’t make any 9 until I arrived in the evening.
I have known this kind of thought-communication with the animal with whom I’ve lived. When Elsa died, I woke in the night, knowing what had happened, even though I was several miles away. The same thing 10 later with one of Pippa’s cubs.
I don’t 11 this sensitivity with my own kind. Feel far more in tune with what is going on when I am in the bush than when I am in London on Nairobi. We don’t know much yet about this telepathy from which gland（腺体） it comes, or how it 12 . But if men could awaken or 13 it in themselves, and then cooperate by trusting each other, 14 fearing and treating one another 15 , the world would be a far better place.

As a banker, Chip Paillex had never planted so much until he moved to rural Pittstown, New Jersey, seven years ago. __36__ by farms, he quickly became interested in growing and rented a 30-by-30-foot land. One weekend, he __37__ tomatoes, potatoes and eggplant ---- enough to feed his family for the summer.
He ended up with so much __38__ that he couldn’t give it away. __39__ he found a local food __40__, and by the time he delivered his last harvest, he had __41__ 120 pounds of fresh vegetables.
The following year, with a handful of __42__ from his church and a memorable name “America’s Grow-a-Row”, Paillex planted, __43__, and harvested 1,500 pounds of vegetables, all of which he donated to food banks. Later he had more volunteers, rent more land and donated more vegetables.
Pailex also __44__ local school kids. On a __45__ Friday morning in May, 40 third and fifth graders trooped onto a freshly plowed field, each __46__ with a spade. Squatting or kneeling in teams of two, they loosened the dirt, then carefully __47__ the plants. Several rows later, they eagerly lined up to seed corn under a hot midmorning sun. Nobody __48__.
“The __49__ makes kids know there are people __50__, says Paillex, “and it plants the seed for giving back. When they become tomorrow’s __51__, it will be much more possible for them to __52__ their coworkers and employees to get __53__ in something like this.
“Paillex makes people want to __54__,” says Colleen Duerr, a mother of two who has signed on as an __55__ “Grow-a-Row” member. “And families love this. Pallex has given us a way to raise our kids with a giving heart.”
