On May 1st, a wildfire started in a forest near the Alberta town of Fort McMurray in Canada. Within two days, the fire grew larger and the people who lived in Fort McMurray had to leave their homes. While there have been very few people injured(伤害) by the large fire itself, it has been harmful to the community.
Canadians in other places have been helping by sending money and donations to the Red Cross. Many people in Alberta have taken in people from Fort McMurray, letting them stay in their homes for free until the fire is put out. Many firefighters are needed to fight the fire and some of them have come from other parts of Canada to help. The brave firefighters were able to save 25,000 homes as well as the hospital and all of the town's schools, according to CBC news.
There have been thousands of other acts of kindness towards the people of Fort McMurray. Some musicians, such as Great Big Sea's Alan Doyle, are holding special concerts, with the money going to Port McMurrav people. And companies have been helping as well. Beer-maker Labatt filled thousands of cans with water instead of beer and sent them to the people in Fort McMurray.
The fire is huge, spreading over more than 229,000 hectares(公顷), but firefighters say they believe there are starting to get it under control it is becoming smaller instead of spreading.

When I woke up, my wallet from the table.
"I just gave birth to 5 babies last weekend." Isn't that exciting? Oh，you don't believe me? "Okay then, I stole some money from a bank on Saturday night." Now do you believe me? Actually，I hope you don't. April 1st, or April Fool's Day is the day when we play jokes on people. Do you have it in your country?
April Fool's Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Year's Day was celebrated on April 1st. If they were teased, they were called fools.
Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For example, someone might put salt in the sugar bottle, so another person could put it in his coffee "by accident". Or someone might change the time on another person's alarm clock so that the person would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked.
After we play the trick, we say "April Fool". Then the poor person realizes he has been fooled. It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesn't cause any real harm to anyone. Do you have any great jokes to play on anyone? Try it out.
Night after night, she came to help me sleep, even long after my childhood years.
I don't remember it first started making me a little angry- my mom's hands pushing my hair that way. But it really made me ( comfortable), for they felt rough (粗糙的) against my young skin. (final), one night, I shouted at her, "Don't do that anymore. Your hands are too rough!" She didn't say anything, she never did it again.
Years later, I missed my mother's hands and her goodnight kiss on my face. I'm not a little girl any more. My mom is her mid-seventies，and her rough hands are still doing things for my family and me.
Now my own children have grown up. It was late on Thanksgiving Eve. As I slept in my bedroom, a familiar hand ran across (I) face to push the hair from my head. Then a kiss, ever so (soft), touched my brow(额头).
(take) my mom's hand, I told her how sorry I was for the night I shouted at her. But my mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgotten it long ago.
That night, I fell (sleep) with the new appreciation(感激) for my mother's caring hands. And guilt(内疚) that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.
