As a mountain，1，642﹣foot Squaw Peak isn't that impressive.But its views attract many hikers（远足者）.Henry Grant，a college student at Ithaca College，was one of them.
While waiting for his mother one day in August，2019，Grant watched other hikers enjoy the view.One hiker，dressed in pink，was looking over the lip of the cliff（悬崖）with her husband.
When Grant's mother rejoined him，the two continued on their way.Suddenly，he heard something scaring： "Paula!Paula!" a man shouted crazily.Grant turned around quickly.________
Several hikers immediately started looking for her，but their view was screened by trees.Uncertain they could help，Grant and his mother headed down the trail.But when he saw some hikers still searching，he decided to lend a hand.After promising his mother that he would be safe，he went on alone.
After 15 minutes of climbing over large rocks，pushing past bushes，and slipping（滑） down loose earth，Grant found a pink figure.The woman had fallen about 75 feet.Luckily，she was alive.
"Paula!Paula!" Grant shouted.The woman didn't reply.She was badly hurt.Grant called the police to report her location.She kept trying to move，and every time she moved，she slipped a little more.Afraid that in her unclear state of mind she might fall off the rock to her death，Grant climbed on all fours up a tight，narrow path by digging into the earth with his fingers and feet until he reached Paula.
Paula was moaning，almost senseless.Grant gently put her hand in his，trying to keep her mind off the pain by keeping asking her questions： "Where are you from？Do you have kids？" Soon， theywere joined on their perch（歇脚处）by another hiker named Simon.
About 45 minutes later，first rescuers（救援者）arrived.Paula and her husband were flown to a hospital.Five hours after the woman in pink had fallen，Grant was back on top of Squaw Peak.

Boyan Slat has been dreaming of cleaning up the world's oceans for a long time.
In 2010，he went on a diving （潜水）vacation in Greece and was shocked."I saw more plastic bags than fish in the water，" he said.
From then on，Slat began to pay more attention to ocean pollution.He decided to give up higher education and set up the Ocean Cleanup，a non﹣government organization.Its purpose is to clean up ocean rubbish.He has set up the world's first ocean cleanup system （ 系统）with his team.

One wet，rainy April afternoon Miss O' Shay，the principal，sent for Nancy Lee to stop by her office as school closed.Pupils without umbrellas or raincoats crowded in doorways hoping to make it home between showers.Outside the skies were grey.Nancy Lee's thoughts were suddenly grey，too.
She did not think she had done anything wrong，yet that tight （紧的） little knot came in her throat just the same as she came near Miss O' Shay's door.Perhaps she had banged her locker too often and too hard.Perhaps the note in French she had written to Sallie halfway across the study hall just for fun had never got to Sallie but into Miss O' Shay's hands instead.
She knocked on Miss O' Shay's door.That familiarly solid and competent voice said， "Come in."
Miss O' Shay had a way of making you feel welcome，even if you came to be punished.
"Sit down，Nancy Lee Johnson，" said Miss O' Shay. "I have something to tell you." Nancy Lee sat down."But I must ask you to promise not to tell anyone yet."
"I won't，Miss O' Shay，" Nancy Lee said，wondering what on earth the principal had to say to her.
"You are about to graduate，" Miss O' Shay said. "And we shall miss you.You have been an excellent student，Nancy，and you will not be without honors （荣誉） on the senior list，as I am sure you know."
At that point there was a light knock on the door.Miss O' Shay called out， "Come in，" and Miss Dietrich entered."May I be part of this，too？" she asked，tall and smiling.
"Of course，" Miss O' Shay said."I was just telling Nancy Lee what we thought of her.But I hadn't got around to giving her the news.Perhaps，Miss Dietrich，you'd like to tell her yourself."
Miss Dietrich was always direct."Nancy Lee，" she said， "your picture has won the Artist Club scholarship."
The brown girl's eyes widened，her heart jumped，then her throat tightened again.She tried to smile，but instead tears came to her eyes.
"Dear Nancy Lee，"Miss O' Shay said， "we are so happy for you." The elderly white woman took her hand and shook it warmly while Miss Dietrich smiled with pride.
Nancy Lee must have danced all the way home.She never remembered quite how she got there through the rain.She hoped she had been calm.But certainly she hadn't stopped to tell anybody her secret on the way.Raindrops，smiles，and tears mingled on her brown face.She hoped her mother hadn't yet got home and that the house was empty.

In 1988，Wang Chengbang retired（退休）from the army.Instead of enjoying a relaxing life，he volunteered to save the soil from desertification（沙漠化）by planting trees in Korla，Xinjiang.
It is no easy job.The high temperature in Korla makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine.Besides，water is a big problem.In fact，Wang Chengbang's work in the first few years failed as very few trees survived（存活）.
But Wang Chengbang would not give up."After trying many different ways，I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way，" said Wang Chengbang.He also worked out new ways to save water.With his hard work，more and more trees have survived.So far，he has planted more than 1.5 million trees.Those green trees prevent desertification，make the air cleaner and protect people from the hot sun.Now，Korla is a model city in environmental protection.
Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer（癌症）.In 2005，he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live.However，he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed."Working is the best medicine.Planting trees helps to fight cancer，" he often jokes.

Dogs may be man's best friends，but for Sisu，a stray dog，the unicorn（独角兽）is his best friend.
Recently，Sisu broke into a store in North Carolina five times，trying to steal the same purple unicorn toy.But every time he got it，a salesman would find him，take the toy away and put it back on the shelf.When it turned out that Sisu wouldn't give up，the salesman had to lock the door and not let Sisu in，and then called Duplin County Animal Services for help.
Samantha Lane，the officer who answered the call，was so moved by Sisu's love for the unicorn that she bought the ＄10 toy for the dog.
"The only thing we can think of is that he came from a family that had a similar toy or had children who had one， " said Joe Newbum，a director of Duplin County Animal Services.
"It's a nice dog，" Newbum added. "He likes to play and he is very smart.He sits，stays and shakes hands.He is very polite."
And whoever is lucky enough to adopt（收养）Sisu will get two best friends for the price of one.According to the Facebook post from Duplin County Animal Services，Sisu and his stuffed animal have already had an adopter.
