One night I was sitting in my room half-listening as my 15-year-old brother fought with my 12-year-old brother Kevin. I didn’t pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.
About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked, ―Hey Kevin, do you want to talk?‖ No response. I tried again, ―Why don’t you come out of there?‖ Again, no response.
So, joking around, I grabbed a stack of index cards and a pencil and wrote, ―If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.‖
An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of index cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevin’s notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, ―Nobody in this family cares about me. I’m not the youngest, and I’m not the oldest, and I’m not talented. Tommy thinks I’m stupid and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball. And you’re never around to even notice me.‖
Tears came to my eyes again as I wrote back to him. ―You know Kevin, I really do love you and I’m sorry I don’t always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.‖ There was no response for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of index cards wrote on a torn–up paper cup, ―Thanks.‖
I wrote back ―For what?‖ It returned to me with ―Loving me‖ written on it. Since then, I try my best never to half–notice my family members any more. Kevin and I have closer relationship now, and sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset we’ll smile and say ―Write it on a paper cup.‖

On Nov.18th,1908,three men went up in a balloon(气球).They started early in London. The headman was Auguste Gaudron,and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.
Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope(绳子),and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight(重量).It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand.
After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metes, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men's basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of the bags fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.
