    We have two apple trees in our backyard．Prana，our dog，loves  37．When she goes outside，she usually grabs a dirty apple from the ground to eat later on．Prana knows that when she brings her treasure into the house，I am not always  38，so she tries to hide it from me．It is our little game．

    On the day that it snowed too  39  in the season，Prana went outside and I  40  her from the window．I noticed that she was  41 lots of holes and bringing out the apples buried beneath the snow．She seemed to be  42 to dig up as many apples as she could．

    But when she came back inside，she brought back only one．About five minutes later,I looked outside．The yard was completely  43 with birds．Prana had dug up all those apples for her bird friends to eat．She knew that they hadn’t prepared  44 food for the early winter.

    This beautiful act of unconditional love from a(an)  45 taught me what real kindness was．

In 1620, about half the U.S.A. was covered by forests. Today the forests have almost gone. A lot of good land has gone with them, leaving only sand. China doesn’t want to copy the U.S.A.’s example. We’re planting more and more trees. We’ve built the “Great Green Wall” of trees across northern part of our country. The Great Green Wall is 7,000 kilometers long, and between 400 and 1,700 kilometers wide. It will stop the wind from blowing the earth away. It will stop the sand from moving towards the rich farmland in the south. More “Great Green Walls” are needed. Trees must be grown all over the world. Great Green Walls will make the world better.
