Belt's photographs are well known for their beauty andhigh quaÌity. They also reÍlect very different cultures andregions ofthe worÌd. Belt has photographed the ancient cityof Petra, Jordan, as well as the green landscapes ofthe LakeDistrict in England. Recently, her pictures appeared in a bookabout undeveloped natural places in North America.
Everl-where that Belt goes, she takes pictures ofpeople.BeÌt has found ways to connect with people of all ages andnationalities even when she does not speak their language."The greâtest privilege of myjob is being allowed into people'sÌivesj' she has said. "ïre camera is like a passport, and I amoften overwheÌmed by how quickÌy people weÌcome me."

Before You WatchRead about the video and check the meanìngs ofthe words in bold.
i Orangutans are large, Ìntelligent pÍimates. At the National Zoo ìn Washington, D.C., RobShumaker runs the Orangutan Language Project. Ofcourse, orangutans aren't able to speak likehumans.They can, however, Iearn to connect symbols to objects. In human language, wordsare also symbols for the real objects they represent. Shumaker belìeves the language program ismentally stimulating for the orangutans. The program is completely voluntary, so the anìmalscan choose to participate or not, and it's part of a zoo exhibit called ThinkTank, which helps toeducate people about the problems orangutans face in the wild.

Some peopÌe Ìove cities, and other people hate them. Butmore people than ever are choosing to live in one. The first citiesstârted about 5000 years ago. Since then, cities have aÌways beenthe centers ofever)'thing important. The government, businesses,and the university were always in the city. Around the world morethan I million people every week move from rural areas to cities.In the year 2030,60 percent ofthe world's people will live in cities.
These cities will be bigger than ever. A megâcity is a city witha population ofover 10 million peopÌe. In 1995, the world had 14megacities. In 2015, there will be 21 megacities. And the rankingwiÌl continue to change. Today, the world's five largest cities are I.Tokyo, 2. Mexico City, 3. São PauÌo, 4. New York, and 5. Mumbai(Bombay). In 2015, theywill probablybe 1. Tokyo,2. Dhaka,3.Mumbai. 4. Sào Paulo. and 5. Delhi.
Megacities around úe world face the same problems: traffìc andhousing. São Paulo, Brazil, is a good exampÌe. "There are 30 milliondaily trips in São Pauloi' says Jorge WiÌheim, a city official. "One-úird
is public transport, one-third is private cars, ard one-third is waÌking.Sifiy to seventy percent should be on public transportationÌ' The city isbuilding a new fieeway and adding to the subway system, but it's slowwork. Every day, miÌÌions of people are sitting in traffic jams.

The germs that make people sick are everl-where. Youcant see them, but they're there. They're sitting on your desk.They're hiding on your computer's keyboard. They're even inthe âir that you are breâthing. There are two types of germs:viruses and bacteria. Viruses are germs that can only Ìive insidranimaÌs or plants.

The Apache Ìndians live in the southwestern region oftheUnited States, and many of them still keep their traditional cu.A young Apache woman named Nita Quintero described onelmportant custom:
The Sunrise Dance Ìasts for four days. It's tl.rebiggest ceremony of the Apache peopÌe when a girlpasses from chiÌdhood to womanhood. When mytime came at 14, I didn't want to do it, because I feltshy. But nÌy piÌrents wânted it. My mother explained,"Then you will l ive strong to an old ageJ' OlderreÌatives and a medicine man helped us choose mysponsors, an older couple not related to us. I callthem Godmother and Godfather.

The ceremony started on Friday evening.Godmother dressed me and put an eagle featheron my head and a shell pendant on my forehead.The dress is very special. It is made of soft leather,u,ith 200 tiny bells. My mother and my aunt made it
tbr me. For the rest of ny life, I wilÌ wear this dress
lòr special days. The most impoÍtant thing that
Godmother cÌid in the ceremorry was to massage my
whole body, to give me all her knowÌedge. Then I
.Ìanced around the flre for many hours.
On Saturday, I danced again, facing the sun at
Jarvn. The medicine man sang to me in our ApacheÌanguage. Even though it's rny first Ìanguage, I dicln'tunderstand alÌ his u'ords. After that, I ran for aÌong tirne so that bad people will never câtch me. It.tartecl rair.ìir.ìg and my dress got very hear'y, but ÌJidnt feel tired.

Yellowstone National Park. United States
Return of the
Yellowstone National Park in the United States is one ofthe morbeautiful places in the world. In the park, visitors see many kiniof wildlife like bison, ellç and bighorn sheep in their naturalenvironment. But for many years, one animal was missing: the 1wolf. These wolves still lived in Canada, but they were disappeain the United States.
Wolves are very intelligent animals. They learn, play, and Ìirfamilies-the same way dogs do. They communicate with the dwolves in their pack, or family, with their voices. They kill their Iwith their sharp teeth. When wolves are together in their packs.hunt very large animals like bison.
Starting in the 1800s, people hunted gray wolves in Yellowsbecause they were dangerous predators. In 1926, the last wolf inpark was killed. But some scientists thought that this was bad foecosystem. Ifthere are no predators, the population ofprey anin

gets too large. In 1976, the government made it illegal to kilÌr*'olves. And in 1995, scientists started a new program. Theybrought 3l woÌves from Canada to live in Yellowstone.
Some people were very angry about this program.Tourists were afraid of wolf attacks, though wolves dont.rsually hurt people. Ranch owners dont like wolves because:hey kill their sheep and cows. In the first few years, wolvesriÌled 80 sheep and 5 cows near the park. Scientists say üatras only a few animals, but ranchers say it was too manÍ
The wolves in Yellowstone have helped the park'secology. If wolves kill an elk, they will leave a lot of meator other animals, because an elk is too big for wolves to eat:ompletely. So the wolves give food to animals and birds':iie eagles. The wolves also helped the trees. Ifthere are:o wolves, there will be too many elk. The elk wont have<rough food, so they eat small willow trees and kill somecnds offorests. AíÍer the wolves came back to the park,::ev killed and ate the elk, and the willow trees started tocorv again.
Today, there are more than 1,000 gray wolves around'l<llowstone.

The Europeans broughtwith them a great number ofplants, animals, and diseases thatthe New World had never seen. And soon, countries in the OÌdWorld smoked American tobacco and tasted corn, tomâtoes,peanuts, chili peppers, and potatoes for the first time.
The first European settlement in what is now the UnitedStates began on May 14, 1608, when an English ship landedon Jâmestown Island in the present-day state of Virginia. The
lamestown Colony was founded in the middle of an Indianempire calÌed Tsenacomoco, an area of about 8,000 squaremiles with more than 14,000 people. The principal Indian chieiwas Powhatan, father ofthe legendary Pocahontas, and thesettÌers calÌed the native peonle Powhatan Indians.

Before the arrival ofthe English, the Powhatan Indians
used to grow corn, hunt wild animals such as deer, and
gather wild plants for food. When a cornfleld started to
rroduce less corn, the Indians would plant in another area
The )amestown colonists saw these empty fields as a perfect
rlace to grow tobacco, a New World plant that the Spanish
Jiscovered in the Caribbean. Tobacco from Virginia could
be shipped to Europe and sold, and the colony's investors in
England were eager to make a profit.
The Jamestown colonists also introduced several kinds
of domestic animals to the New World, including pigs,
;attle, horses, and chickens. The Indians had no large
Jomestic animals, and so they had no fences around their
:ornfields. They were soon competing with the colonists':nimals for both crops and wild food. The corn that the
.ndians stored for the winter months, meanwhile, became a
:avorite food for an animal the English brought accidentally:n their ships-black rats.
In addition to the rats, colonists carried diseases from
:ìre Old World that Native Americans had never been
:rposed to. Diseases such as malaria, smallpox, measles,:nd cholera were not always deadly to Europeans, but
iilled a large percentage of native people in the Americas.lÌre Columbian Exchange, therefore, came at a very highiost, but without a doubt, it was one ofthe most significant: \ 'ents in modern human h is tor l

Around the bottom of Mount Everest, the highest mountain inthe world, is a beautiful region ofNepal called Khumbu. Fiftyyears ago, it had thick forests, and the mountains were coveredwith red and pink flowers. Edmund Hillary and TenzingNorgay started from Khumbu when they became the firstpeople to climb Everest in 1953.
Since then, thousands ofvisitors have come to Khumbu toenjoy the spectacular mountain scenery and take an adventurevacation. Many tourists go trekking or hiking between villages.They sleep in very small family guesthouses.
Now everything has changed. Much ofKhumbu hasbecome a desert, in part because more than 25,000 trekkerspass through every year. Most sightseers arrive by small planefrom Kathmandu, the capital. The planes land at the airport inLukla. In the past, it was just a grassy field, but in 2000 a newterminal was built to alìow planes and helicopters to bring inmore Yisitors.
"We must reduce the number of touristsj' says one localman. "They destroy the trails when they all walk in the sameplace. The guesthouses are crowded. People drop their waterbottles and soda cans ever1.where."
l l8 Travel
www.elsolucionario.net
But the biggest problem oftourism is deforestation.Khumbu has lost most ofits trees. They were cut down to:uild more tea houses, and to use for firewood. You can onlyree the big old trees in the wide floorboards in old houses.
"Tourists dont think about the problems they cause,".als a scientist. "Especially about the wood that is used to:ook their foreign food and heat water for their baths. One:rekker uses as much wood in a day as five local families.They dont have to use so much woodl' Now the forests haveJisappeared, and Ìocal people have to walk many miles toìnd firewood.
One possible solution is to cook and heat water withkerosene. But it's too expensive for many local people. "The
:overnment has got to distribute kerosene to local people,"'àys the scientist. "Ìtì the only way to sâve the forest."
People in Nepal are taking action. One group has started: program to sell cheap kerosene. The Himalayan Trust, anrrganization stârted by Edmund Hillary, has planted more:han a million baby trees in Khumbu. This will save the..rnd. and oroduce.iood products that:eople can sell. Inì0 years, Khumbu,çilÌ have forests and:.owers again.

Deep in an Ecuadoran rainforest,monkeys overhead and poisonous
snakes underfoot, Dr. Maria Fadimangoes to work. "lt looks like one big, green mishmash to me,but the people who live here can singÌe out the right pÌantsfor medicine, or the one to eat ifyou cut out the little part inthe very center. Each house is made entirely from the forestthe poles that hold it up, the floors, the thatch on the walls,the vines that tie it, the pahn leaf sleeping mats, the baskets,everlthing. It'.s strong, it's waterproof, it works, and iti all donein a way that's in balance with naturel'
That balance is at the center of Fadimar* research. As ;rr.rethnobotanist, she studies how people interact with plants."Looking at conservation without including people in theequation is a fântâsyi' she says. "So the focus of my work isfinding a baÌance where people use resources in a sustainableway that allows flora and fauna to remain intact."
At l.rer field site in Ecuador, Fadiman studies sustainableand non-sustainabÌe methods used to collect fiber plants andpaÌms. Coìlecting plants Íbr fiber can involve cutting downentiÍe trees or just the specifrc parts ofplants that will be used.Fadiman's data reveals where and why such differences exist

ofplant knowledge exists. Recognizing this, Fadiman's first
effort is to record all the information that local people canprovide.
In the freld, Fadiman eats, sleeps, works, and collectsnative plants with local families. "When I come all this way

local excitement. Suddenly plant knowledge is valuedÌ'

it will mean much more. I hope my work will change even a

Now, there are also Kwanzaa events in schools andpublic pÌaces, and Kwanzaa has spread to other countries likeCanada and Jamaica.
