    Andy woke up and looked at the clock 11: 30? He jumped out of bed and threw on clothes. He had wanted to get up early and surprise his dad with Father's Day breakfast in bed﹣with his mom's help of course. He took up the wrapped present on his desk and went to find his 1.

    "Where is Dad?" Andy checked all the rooms, but the whole house was empty. He walked out to the 2, and his jaw dropped. Dad was holding a hammer and looking at a new tree fort that stood in 3 big back yard.

    Andy climbed the rope ladder up to the fort. It had two rooms with three small windows.

    Dad followed Andy into the fort, looking excited. "I spent all morning 4 it. I had one when I was your age. Grandpa surprised me with it on Father's Day, too. "

    "So, it's like a（n） 5?" Andy asked.

    "Yes, this is a present for 6 of us. Maybe you'll build one for your son one day. "

    Dad looked around and asked Andy 7 they would do first in the tree fort. Andy slowly showed the 8 and said, "Happy Father's Day!" He didn't think it was possible, 9 Dad's smile widened as he opened the gift. "A chess set! How did you know I wanted 10?" Andy always saw his dad playing against the computer and he guessed it 11 be his father's favorite.

    "Let's play it!" Dad set up the chessboard. "It's the 12 gift I got of all this Father's Day. "

"I'm glad you like it." Andy said.

    "I do, but I was talking about spending more time with you. I 13 loved the father﹣son time. I spent a lot with your grandfather when I was 14. "

    Andy looked at his dad. "Can we call Grandpa and 15 him to come to the fort?"

Dad squeezed Andy's shoulder. "I think he'd love that."

    That day, the three men played, talked and laughed. It was really a happy Father's Day.

    There was once an ugly fairy living in a fairy country. She was the kindest and cleverest of all fairies. However, no one liked her, because they strongly believed that the most important thing about a fairy was her beauty. Every time she was ready to help a child or anyone else in trouble, before she could say a word they were already shouting at her, "Ugly! Get out of here!"

    Although she was little, she had great magic power. More than once she thought about using it to make herself beautiful. But she remembered what her mother had always told her, "My dear, you are what you are."

    One day, the witches (女巫) came and caught the fairies, putting them in prison. The ugly fairy, just before being caught, put a spell (咒语) on her pretty dress. Helped by her ugly face, she succeeded in making herself look like a witch. That way she was able to follow the witches back to their country.

    The fairy used her magic power to prepare a big party for everyone there. While they were enjoying themselves, she left quietly and let free other fairies. When all of them got out of the prison, they worked together on one big spell and succeeded in putting the witches inside the mountain for the next hundred years.

    From that day on everyone remembered the brave and clever fairy. And for the next hundred years, and more, when someone ugly was born in that country, everyone was filled with joy.

    Paulina Cortes is a teacher in San Jose, California. One day, she handed out masks (面罩) to farm workers in Lodi. She volunteered to do this because the air quality (空气质量) is still poor after a big fire.

    "I just got home and feel really tired now. Today I spent my day in Lodi handing out masks to farm workers," she wrote on the Internet. "I raised some money. Then I drove through San Jose and all the way to Salinas to buy enough masks I needed. This is important. The story here isn't that I handed out masks; it's that there are hundreds of people who are working in dangerous environments with no protection (防护). And no one even knows about it."

    Paulina also put some photos on the Internet, and they were picked up by the news. Many people were surprised at the news, and they knew what happened to those farm workers for the first time.

    The next day, Paulina added, "I traveled through Lodi and Stockton not just to hand out masks, but to help the farm workers understand the pollution. In Lodi yesterday the workers were picking fruit in such dangerous environments. None of them even knew this. Not too far from our homes, hundreds of people are working in these environments. I will buy more masks and send them to a Stockton farm worker. He helped me hand out masks yesterday."

    Thank you, Paulina, for caring and trying to make a difference.
