18．Enjoying a green Christmas tree when you're traveling 
    We often travel during the holiday season，but my kids still want a Christmas tree．Three are ways to enjoy a tree while even in a hotel！
    Decorate（装饰） a tree outdoors．Instead of carrying a Christmas tree on your travels pack only some LED lights and a few cheap ornaments（装饰品），and find a tree outside your hotel to decorate．We've done this on trips where we've stayed in vacation homes．
Make your own‘found'tree．Go on a nature walk outside your hotel，and collect treasures from nature such as wood sticks，green leaves and stones．Make a family project out of your finds into a special Christmas tree．
    Decorate with green．If you don't have enough room for a whole tree in your hotel room，but miss that gree smell，buy greens from a Christmas tree farm and decorate with them．You'll have that smell without losing space in your room or your suitcases．
    No matter what you choose，don't forget to recycle your tree after the new year．If you live in a rural area，Chrestmas tree recycling is easy：simply take your tree out into the woods and leave it there．It will become a natural habitat for small animals as it grows．If you're in a city，the trees will be collected and replanted in local parks．
71．What has caused the writer to prepare a Christmas tree while travelling？Because the writer's kids want a Christmas tree．
72．What is needed in decorating a Christmas tree？Some LED lights and ornaments．
73．Where does an own‘found'tree come from？The nature．/Outside the hotel．/Wood sticks，green leaves and stones

business news：the US dollar has risen greatly in Shanghai，one of the
world's leading business centres．Mary tells the computer to buy 5，000
  dollars，and there is a quick response that it has been done．

11．Changing Lives，One Cow at a Time
Who says kids can't make a difference？In Missouri，a group of students is changing lives around the world!How are they doing this？They're buying farm animals!
Millions of people live with little food and money，so the gift of an animal can actually save lives．More than 10years ago，the second-graders at Forsyth School learned about how Heifer International helps people．They decided they wanted to help，too．
Heifer helps poor people by giving farm animals to them and teaching them how to use the animals to make their lives better．A heifer is a young cow，and these animals have become a symbol（标志） of Heifer's work．That's because families with a cow can produce milk to drink and they can also sell it for other things they need．Heifer also gives animals like sheep，pigs，and even bees to the poor families．
Each second-grade class at Forsyth School decides which animals to buy and how much to give．The students'favourite part of working with Heifer is that they can help others．They don't want kids of their age to live without house or food．
The students raise money by recycling cans．Some even ask that birthday or holiday gifts to be given to Heifer!
Kids can do many things to help others．Your class might want to raise money for Heifer，too．You might also want to give your money or your time to a group in your community that helps people．Why not talk with your classmates about how your school can help others？
58．Can students help change lives？Yes，they can
59．When did the students at Forsyth School learn about Heifer？More than 10 years ago
60．How does Heifer help poor people？By giving farm animals to them and teaching them how to use the animals to make their lives better
61．What's the students'favourite part of working with Heifer？They can help others
62．What does the writer ask kids to do at the end of the passage？To talk with their classmates about how their school can help others．/To do something to help others．
