A man in Indonesia is walking backwards for 435 miles.He's making the trip to encourage the government and others to value and protect Indonesia's rainforests.
Medi Bastoni is 43 years old.He is an Indonesian.Indonesia is a large country in the world formed by a group of islands.There are over 16,000 islands there,and most of them are covered with rainforests.But on Java,where Mr.Bastoni lives,far more forests have been cleared.
Mr.Bastoni believes it's important to protect forests from being cut down,and to restore (恢復) them when they have been destroyed.Near his home,Mount Wilis is now being restored,but Mr.Bastoni wants to make the protection continue.That's how he came up with the idea of the 435-mile walk.
And walking backwards?Mr.Bastoni wants Indonesians to look back at their past.Walking backwards is a good way to get attention.Right now,Mr.Bastoni's backward walk is pretty big news in Indonesia.
Mr.Bastoni is wearing a frame (框架) that supports a large mirror in front of him,above his head.This allows Mr.Bastoni to look behind him while walking backwards.Besides,Mr.Bastoni is carrying a backpack with some clothes and a little food.He is planning on buying more meals from restaurants along the way.He has been sleeping at police stations,security posts,and even strangers' homes during the trip.His plan is to cover about 19 miles a day.In early August he was in Sragen—about 100 miles from his home.It's not clear whether Mr.Bastoni is still on track to arrive in Jakarta by August 17.

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
