Do you like exercising in the sun? How much sunlight do you get every day? How much time do you spend in the sun?

“Hello!” Jordan called out．

“Helloooo! Helloooo!”the canyon echoed back．

“It’s spooky(可怕的) here,”Kaitlyn said, “I wonder if anything has ever lived here．”

Kaitlyn asked Jordan to catch up with their families．“Why did we have to come back so quickly?”he asked．

“Because we want to set up camp before dark,”Dad replied．

Jordan and Kaitlyn waited to get into the back seat of the car．Looking at his filthy shoes, Jordan grabbed a paper cup from the car,took off his shoes,and shook the dirt into the paper cup．

Hundreds of years ago, many people thought birds were holy(神圣的)．They believed birds were messengers(信使)of God．Birds’ songs meant peace and joy．Birds’ bright and colourful feathers(羽毛) meant beauty and happiness to people．

In the eyes of Native Americans, birds’ feathers are a symbol of friendship．If a person shows kindness to another person, he may get a feather as a present from the other one．To them, the eagle feather is the best to show friendship．Native American people believe the eagle is the leader of all birds．It flies the highest and see the furthest of all birds．If they give an eagle feather to someone, they mean their friendship is very precious．

Native Americans are good at making friendship feathers．They usually put beads and leather on feathers to make them more beautiful．A friendship feather is usually 27 centimetres long．

There was a little boy with a bad temper(脾氣)．He got angry easily and often shouted at those who loved him．

One day, his father gave him a bag of sssnails(蝸牛) and told him, “Every time you lose your temper, drive(施力于…) a snail into the fence．”

The first day the boy drove 37 ssnails into the fence．Then the number got smaller．The boy found that it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those ssnails into the fence．

Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all．He told his father about it and the father said, “Now, my son, pull out one snail each day when you are able to hold your temper．”

Days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the ssnails were gone．The father took his son by the hand, led him to the fence and said, “You have done well, my son, but there are holes in the fence．The fence will never be the same as before．When you are in anger, what you do leaves a scar(傷痕) just like this．You can put a knife into a man and draw it out．No matter how many times you say sorry, the wound is still there．A verbal(口頭的) wound is as bad as a physical one．”But we often hurt our family and friends through our angry words．Maybe next time when you feel you are going to lose your temper, take a deep breath(呼吸) to avoid hurting the people we love．
