　　Clara Daly was sitting on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles when she heard a worried voice over the loudspeaker: “Does anyone on board know American Sign Language?”
　　Clara, 15 at the time, pressed the call button. An air hostess came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf,” she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the air hostesses couldn't understand what he needed.
　　Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people and she knew she'd be able to finger spell into the man's palm. So she rose from her seat, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt by the seat of Tim Cook, then 64.Gently taking his hand, she signed, “How are you? Are you OK?” Cook asked for some water.
　　When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.
　　“He didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk,” Clara said.
　　So for the next hour, she talked about her family and her plans for the future. Cook told Clara how he had become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn't see her, she “looked attentively at his face with such kindness,” a passenger reported.

Cycads(苏铁) grow in warm places. They are tall and green all year round. Their leaves grow on the top and flowers seldom come out. Some have bright orange fruits. They usually need hundreds of years to grow into adult plants.
Cycads are facing problems now. In South Africa, the situation of cycads is getting terrible, but this has drawn little attention from the public. “In fact, there are 38 kinds of cycads in South Africa. Among them, 2 kinds have disappeared since 2003 and 25 kinds are in great danger,” said a gardener. “Do you know what the loneliest plant is in the world? It is Wood's Cycad. Someone found it in a forest in 1895. It is the only one of its kind.”
So what causes cycads to be in danger? Surprisingly, the danger is from the people who love them most. These slow-growing adult cycads even sell for tens of thousands of dollars each. As time goes by, they have become a symbol of wealth and position in society. This makes cycad lovers want to own more. Cycad lovers buy and plant them in their private gardens. As a result, nearly all these cycads die because the living conditions have changed. 
Recently, South African government has taken action to protect cycads from being stolen and traded. At the same time, people around the world should also work together to protect the plants.
