Families are taking down their decorations and throwing out their trees when Christmas has come to an end.
However, one man in Texas is re using the trees for a good cause. Canes ( 拐杖) for Veterans (退伍军人) Central
Texas, which was set up by Jamie Willis, makes free canes out of waste wood for veterans in need. Willis started
the organization when he found himself in need of a strong cane, he told CBS News.
Jamie Willis had served in the army for eight years, but was left disabled. He would use a cane to get around,
but didn’t like the one he received from Veterans Affairs. He decided to ask for a suitable replacement ( 替代品)
from the organization Free Canes for Veterans. Oscar Morris, who ran the organization, apologized to Willis
because they were all handed out.
He then considered making one for himself. Luckily, with the help of Morris, Willis made his first cane.

Canes for Veterans Central Texas.

chosen by the veterans, making each one meaningful to those veterans.
“It’s a great feeling,” he told CBS News. “It takes their eyes off their so called disability and it takes their eye
to the cane. Because when people look at a person with just a metal cane, everyone just wonders what happens,”
Willis added. “But now, when they’re walking around with canes that we make, they’re looking at the cane, a piece
of artwork.”

Antarctica (南极洲) is the coldest, windiest, highest and driest continent (大陆) on the planet. The lowest
temperature ever recorded on Earth was -94.7℃in eastern Antarctica in 2010. The continent experiences regular
Katabatic winds, reaching 300 km per hour. There is little rainfall and the air is very dry. Indeed, the Polar Plateau
(极地高原) is regarded as a desert which experiences similar rainfall levels to the Sahara Desert.
It is the fifth-largest continent and is almost 1.5 times the size of the United States. Its coastline covers about
18,000 km. About 98% of the continent is covered in a thick continental ice sheet and the remaining 2% is rock.
Antarctica has six months of daylight followed by six months of darkness. It contains 70% of the planet’s
freshwater and 90% of the world’s ice.
Strong winds and wild storm shave been closely connected with Antarctica since its discovery and continue to
be a main challenge for modern explorers. Most of the early diaries and tales of exploration of Antarctica are filled
with stories of how the weather was man’s biggest enemy on the continent. Nature’s power is seldom seen as
ferocious as it is in Antarctica, making it one of the most difficult places to live on Earth.
The first people to reach the South Pole were from the Norwegian-led expedition (探险队) of Roald
Amundsen on December 14,1911. One month later, Robert, Scott’s British expedition also reached 90 South but all
members unluckily died on their return journey.
Before this, the thought over the existence of a “southern land” was not confirmed until the early 1820s. At
