Dr. Albert Schweitzer was a jungle doctor in Africa. He was born in France. He had learned to play the piano since he was five and he was a very good musician. He decided to be a doctor when he was 30 years old. Then he studied medicine for eight years. After that, he asked to be sent to Africa in 1913.
Dr. Schweitzer took big boxes of medicine with him to Africa. He had to go through a lot of dangerous places. At first the new white doctor was not welcome, but soon the people of Africa understood that he was their friend and they helped him build his first small hospital near a river.

Dear Sir,
Thirty years ago, I walked into your bakery(面包房) and asked for some loaves(块)of bread to sell. At that time I was twelve years old. A young lady was working that day. She gave me five loaves and wished me good luck.
I took the loaves and went out to sell them. It took me all day, but I sold them all. At the end of the day, I had some money. I was the happiest boy in the world as I walked home that evening.
The next day, I went to a bicycle shop. I paid a deposit(定金)on a new bicycle. And then I started my next job—as a newspaper deliver(递送)boy. Soon I could pay the rest of the money for the bicycle and the bike was mine. I was so proud!
Today, I still work in the delivery business. I have a lot of trucks to send goods(货物)all over the country. I live in a beautiful house, but I don’t ride a bicycle these days. I drive a large and nice car.
I do not know who that young lady was. But because she gave me the start, I have become a successful man. I’d like to show my thanks to her.
Yours,
George Jenkins

Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts，but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of colouring is protecting themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the tree.
Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spread over, the enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it isn’t strong at all.
