A

Zac, a first-grade student, was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer last June. He is undergoing treatment (进行治疗) but still goes to school every day, because at school he can play with Vincent. Five-year-old Vincent found out his best friend was sick, and he wanted to do everything he could to help. He wanted to show his friend that he was always with him.

When he learned Zac would lose his hair from chemotherapy (化疗), Vincent decided to shave his head. When the little boy was asked why he did that, he said, “I want to make Zac feel like he is not the only one without any hair.”

Vincent has also been learning about cancer and raising money for his best friend Zac after learning how expensive his chemotherapy is. He made more than 20 scarves and sold them. He raised more than $200 in total.

Zac’s mum is thankful that her son has such an amazing friend.

When he was asked what friendship was, Vincent looked at his friend Zac and answered, “It’s a beautiful thing.”

Tigers are the largest wild cats in the world. They usually go out to hunt for food when it is dark. And they hunt alone most of time. When a tiger sees an animal, it moves quickly and then jumps on the animals to kill it. Sometimes it can take the tiger several days to finish eating its food. When the tiger is full, it will cover the dead animal with leaves. Later, when the tiger is hungry again, it comes back to eat some more.

Tigers are different from others in the cat family: they like water and often jump into rivers to swim. Some tigers live in very cold places in North Korea, Russia and China. Other tigers live in warmer places—in India and parts of Southeast Asia.

But now all tigers are in danger. Some people kill tigers to use their skins for clothes, and their bodies for medicine. There is also less and less land for tigers to live in.
