What do
you think of a forest, what do you see? Just trees? Or do you see many other things,
such as singing birds, colorful plants and wild flowers?
The forest
is a whole world of its own. It is1many different living
things. But even though they are all different, they have one thing in common; they
all need each other in order to live on.
The trees
feed the forest "people" by making food in their leaves; by using
sunlight to join water and minerals from the soil and air. Their deep network
of roots joins the soil together and prevents it from dying out, making it
possible for living things to live in it.
Human
beings2the living things in the forest. We need
one another in order to live. We need the farmers to grow our food, railroad
and truck drivers to bring it to our shops and clerks to sell it to us. We need
people to prepare our food and cook it and others to take our waste things
away. Then, of course, we need doctors, nurses, government leaders, mailmen, telephone
operators, and many3.
We need
other human beings in another way. We need people for4,
to talk over our problems, or exchange ideas. Think how lonely and unhappy you
would be if you lived all alone.
Life is a
matter of5and taking. We need to help other people
as much as we need other people to help us. Think what a good feeling you have6you
have done something for someone else, You know, being a volunteer(志愿者) is so great!
