1．We have always been warned of the dangers of the forest fires. They cause     1   to a forest. They kill many plants and animals in an eco-system, which is a group of living things and their environment. But have you ever heard of a forest fire that can be     2    for a forest?
2．People start some of the fires with special reasons to actually do well to the eco-system.
3．In fact, fires are a natural part of any eco-system. Without fires, the oldest and largest trees would stop sunlight from reaching the forest floor. Fires can       3      some of these old trees. When the trees die, they provide something good for the earth. New trees can grow strong and healthy in their place.
4．Some trees even need fires to grow. These trees hold their seeds(種子) inside. Heats from a fire allow the coat of the seeds to open up. Then the seeds fall to the ground and have the 4 to grow.
5．Scientists, who know about nature’s needs, start some of these fires, called controlled burns. A fire is started and kept under control. This way, the fire does not spread out of the area or 5   a large space of the forest. Fires can be dangerous for animals. Even when animals continue to live after forest fires, they can go hungry   6    their food has been damaged in the fire. Small, controlled fires mean that animals will not have to move far to find food. After some time, small plants begin to grow. Animals return soon after the plants return. This   7 makes an eco-system.
6．So the next time you hear about a forest fire, think about the good as well as the bad. It may take a new eco-system a while to return, but it will likely come back stronger and healthier than ever.

“Can I see my baby?” the happy new mother asked. When she saw the baby, she was surprised. The baby was born without ears.
As time went by, the baby grew up. There was nothing wrong with his hearing. But some kids laughed at him because he didn’t have ears. The baby was very sad, but his parents did nothing but felt sorry for him.
The boy’s father talked with a doctor. “Could nothing be done?” the father asked. “ I believe I could give him a pair of outer ears, if they could be got.” The doctor answered. So they began to look for a person who would like to give his or her ears.
Two years went by. Then the father said, “You are going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have found someone and it will give the ears you need. But it’s a secret, ”said the father. The operation was very successful. Several years later, he got a good job.
One day, he told his father “ But I must know who gave so much to me. I want to do something for him or her.” “I am sorry, but I can’t tell you.” Said the father.
The secret was kept for years, but the day did come. For the boy it was one of the darkest days. He stood with his father over his mother’s coffin.
Slowly, the father raised her thick brown hair to show that his mother had no outer ears. “Your mother said she was glad that she never let her hair be cut,” he said, “and nobody ever thought she was less beautiful, did they?”
