11 One upon a time, there was an office worker whose name was Charles. He worked in the same insurance office
for many years. But during that time, he became more and more unhappy. While he worked, he dreamed
constantly, and in his dream he was always a hermit, he stayed in this room. He didn’t like people. He especially
didn’t like people when they talked. He wanted peace. Life went on for Charles in this way until he became
desperate.
His big opportunity came when he learned about a sea voyage the two of his friends were planning. They
expected to make the trip during their summer vacation. Charles asked to join them. While they were sailing, our
hero talked to his friends about the joys of hermits’ life. He talked until he finally convinced them and they
decided to stop at the first island that they found.
A few days after this decisions, they saw the island in the distance where they decided to live. Before they went
ashore, Charles asked the other two to make a promise not to say a word after they reached the island. They were
to remain perfectly quiet during their stay.
During the first few days after they landed, they built a little house where they planted a garden. The island was
paradise for Charles because this was the peace that he wanted.

16 We don’t live in an age of miracles, but sometimes they happen. This was a special New Year’s Eve
Miracle.
Elizabeth Barret lives near a shopping center, and sometimes she and her sister, Barbara, play near the
stores. They like playing there. There are lots of people there, and she and Barbara like to look at the
things in the windows.
But the lives of children are not sweet. They are full of fears. Children attack and chase other children.
Why? Who knows? But it’s true. And it’s true in Smithtown too.
Elizabeth is eleven years old and isn’t friends with bad children. She doesn’t fight. Her mother says so.
And one New Year’s Eve, Elizabeth and her sister, Barbara, are playing near the stores, but they have to
stop. “Elizabeth,” says Barbara. “Let’s go home. Do you see those girls over there? They go to my school.
They are bad.”
But it was too late. The bad girl chased Elizabeth and Barbara. They started to run. “Hurry, Elizabeth.
Let’s run across the railroad tracks. Hurry up.” The trains on the Long Island Railroad are always late. It
is a fact of life on Long Island. But the 1:05 out of Ronkokoma was on time the New Year’s Eve.
Vincent Lobianco was at the railroad station, 150 feet away from Elizabeth and Barbara. “Don’t cross the
tracks. Go back!” Mr. Lobianco is a religious man. “Please, God, no. Don’t let it happen.” he shouted. But
it did. Engine #4321 was on top of Elizabeth in two second. Mr. Lobianco ran towards the girl, and at the

19 California wildfires have destroyed more than 1,000 homes
(CNN)One person died and 10 homes burned in a fire that started Saturday in California's Carmel Valley south of
Monterey, fire
officials said. Two nearby communities are under evacuation as the fire has burned 1,200 acres so far and is only
10%
contained, according to the state wildfire fighting agency, Cal Fire.
Three other people have died so far in this summer's wildfires: a 72-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis who
couldn't get out
of her house, a 66-year-old man who didn't follow evacuation orders, and an elderly person who was found by
cadaver dogs.
Two more large wildfires burning for days in Northern California have destroyed more than 1,000 homes and
hundreds of
outbuildings, fire authorities said.
The Valley Fire has consumed 585 homes as while raging through Lake, Napa and Sonoma counties over the
course of a
week. It has destroyed hundreds of other structures and scorched more than 70,000 acres of land, according to
Cal Fire.
Another wildfire burning in a nearby area, the Butte Fire, has destroyed 511 residences and more than 330
outbuildings in the
course of at least 10 days. Cal Fire's data was posted late Saturday.
Late Saturday, many of the other current fires burning in California were nearly 100% contained, and the Valley
Fire and Butte
Fire were mostly contained.
The American West has seen one of its worst fire seasons this year, burning through a particularly large area of
the
landscape, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. Nearly 9 million acres have gone up in flames so far
this year
compared with close to 3 million over the same period in 2014.
This year's tally is already higher than any other in the last decade. Four years of exceptional drought in California
in particular
have provided a lot of dry tinder for the flames.
CNN's Tony Marco contributed to this story.

Dewantoro was born into a noble family of Yogyakarta and attended a Dutch-sponsored medical school
but failed to
complete the course. Active in the nationalist cause, he belonged to a faction favouring direct action and
the use of Western
methods to destroy the power of the Dutch. He was also a member of the Bandung chapter of Sarekat
Islām (“Islamic
Association”) and a founder of the Socialist Indische Partij (“Indies Party”). An article he wrote during
this period, “If I Were a
Netherlander,” published in the Indische Partij’s De Express, led to his exile to the Netherlands between
1913 and 1918.
In the Netherlands he became converted to the idea of using Indonesian cultural traditions to cope with
the problems posed
by Dutch colonial rule. He felt that education was the best means to strengthen Indonesians, and he was
deeply influenced by
the progressive theories of the Italian educational reformer Maria Montessori and by the Indian poet
and
philosopher Rabindranath Tagore.
The first Taman Siswa schools were established in Java in July 1922. Instruction, carried on informally,
emphasized
traditional skills and values of Javanese life, particularly music and dance. Western subjects were taught,
too, in order to help
students cope with the demands of modern life. Overcoming initial official hostility, the Taman Siswa
schools had spread
throughout the archipelago and were by the late 1930s subsidized by the Dutch colonial government.
Based on traditional
Javanese concepts, the Taman Siswa schools appealed primarily to those segments of Indonesian society
termed abangan, in
which the Islamic faith is less deeply entrenched. Dewantoro continued his leadership of Taman Siswa
after the war and upon
his death was acclaimed a national hero.

34 Dear, Rosa
I am a guy, twenty-eight years old. I have a problem with a girl friend. She is twenty five years old. We
have been dating each other for years, since we were high school students. Now we have jobs. I feel very
sure that we love each other. Now it is time for me to get married. Unfortunately, her parents never
approve of our relationship ever since the very first time. My family, anyhow, does not really mind. At
first I thought my girl friend had the power to defend our love. But then she surrendered. She loves, me
and she loves her family, too. On the one hand she said, "I'll be happy if my family is happy." It means
she had to get approval from her parents.
For this I was shocked. My heart was broken. She ended our relationship just at the time when I was
ready to marry her. When I was with her, we were very happy. We had a lot in common and there were
no conflicts. The truth was, we separated only because of her parents. They want her to marry her
cousin, her aunt's son (this is one of the traditions in the Karonese).
For the time being I am very upset. When I miss her I call her. Then we can eat together, talk together for
hours. We act like elating because she loves me, too. The real problem is, she cannot refuse what her
parents want. So, should I forget my girl friend, the only one that I truly love? Or else, should I just wait,
and dream that one day she will be back to me?
Rio N., Padang
Dear Rio,
You call her your girl friend, but she has chosen her own way. For this reason I’d, say that there is
nothingyou can do except forget her and go on with your normal life. Hopefully you can find another
and livehappily forever.
