When someone is very sick, the doctor has to fly to the person?s home. His plane lands on a flat piece of ground near the person?s house. Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital. Flying doctors take about 8,600 people to hospital each year.

He can tell the patient to use some medicine from a special medicine chest (箱子). There is one of these chests in every home in the outback.

In schools all over the world boys and girls are learning foreign languages. Many grown-ups are doing so in their spare time. Everybody knows his own language, but to know another is very useful.
Which is the best way to learn a language? We should remember what we all learnt our own language well when we were children. If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a child does. It listens to what people say and it tries to imitate(模仿) what it heard. When it wants something, it has to ask for it. It is using the language. It is talking in it and thinking in it all the time, they would learn it quickly.
It is important to remember, also, that we learn our own language by hearing people speak it not by seeing what they write. We imitate what we hear. In school, though you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak, it is best to learn all new words through the ear. Of course, you must listen to them, spell them, and write them, too.
There is no easy way to success in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize（记住） rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long lists or words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on.. We must learn by using the language. If we are satisfied with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. “Learning through practice” is a piece of good advice for those who are learning a new language. Practice is important as much as we can. We learn to swim by getting into the water and swimming. And we learn to speak English by speaking it and not by being told about it.

When a friend is sad about a tragedy, it?s hard to know how to comfort him/her. But the worst thing you can do is say nothing. It could be a signal that you don?t care. You don?t have to say much. A single supportive the ice. Here are some conversation starters for when difficult situations have your tongue tied.
1. A friend has a miscarriage.
Don?t say: “don?t worry. You are so young, you will have another baby”. Do say “ I?m so sorry. I can?t begin to imagine what you are going through, but if you want to talk about it, call me anytime.” 2. A guy deserts your friend.
