What do you think of that? One man donated(捐赠) his stem cells (干细胞)to a(n) 1 living on the other side of the world.

    A man working as a taxi driver in Shanghai 2 an activity about stem cell donation. Shortly after, he received the 3 that his stem cells had been matched to a boy in England. The receiver is just seven years old. The driver, Jiang Yongfeng, 4 to donate his stem cells at once. “I did not expect it to happen so 5. I was so excited to get a match so soon.” He says. “6 I learned the boy was only born in 2008, I was silent. And I 7 I made the right decision. I must help him.”

    Some people 8 stem cell transplants to treat cancer. They must 9 a donor with nearly the same genes(基因). It means the matched 10 must have the very similar gene. The possibility of the long-distance match between Jiang Yongfeng and the little boy is 11. It sounds like a 12miracle（奇迹）. “ The little boy receiving Jiang's donation is very 13, ” doctors said.

    Some donors were 14 to donate stem cells in out-dated ways because of poor health care systems years ago. It was a(n) 15 experience that many people couldn't stand. 16, Mr. Jiang was able to use a simpler and safer method.

    Usually donors and receivers do not meet, nor do they know each other's 17. Does Jiang Yongfeng mind that he doesn't even know the little boy's name? “ No,” he shakes his 18. “ I just want the operation to be done as soon as possible so that they can send my 19 to the UK and help the little kid 20 as soon as possible. I hope he can be brave and strong and that he can live a good life.

I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I used to give a lot of money to the homeless, feeling 1 for them. But as time passed, I became a mom with no home, a huge 2, and hardly any income. As a result, I 3 giving money to the people on the side of the road and became very 4. Things started to change for me 5. I had a home, a backyard for my daughter, and plenty of food, and I started to 6 myself out of debt. One day we saw a homeless person with the 7, "Will work for food." I 8. My daughter commented. "Mommy, you used to always give money to those people in 9." I replied, "Honey, they just use that money for 10, or other bad things." She didn't respond. 11 when I said that, I didn't feel right. Three days later, I was driving to 12 my daughter from school. A man was standing on the corner, and something deep 13 me said, "Just help the guy." So I 14 down my window, and he ran over excitedly. He said, "God bless you, I only need 77 cents." I 15 into my ashtray（烟灰缸）and strangely enough, there 16 three quarters and two pennies. I picked them up and gave them to him. He 17 with joy and tears in his eyes. "Wow, you just made it 18 for me to see my mom for Christmas! Thank you so much; the 19 that had this great sale is leaving in 20 minutes!" It was a moment I'll 20 forever. I think that man won't forget it either, but I was the one who got the best gift in life—GIVING.

    I was afraid to fly alone, but Dad put me on board anyway and a steward was keeping an eye on me through the flight.

    1 came to land.

    As we broke through the clouds, I could see lights below and knew we were getting close to the 2. When we came to the runway(跑道),however, I realized we were going too  3! I turned and looked back: no one seemed to be acting 4—it seemed to be fine. The lights were gone when suddenly someone shouted, "Look, the runway's 5 !"

    I looked up ahead and saw a busy road. There were lots of 6 that must have seen us became some of them 7 their cars. We crossed the road, and I felt 8 , not knowing whether we were going to ran over or be hit by the cars! 9 was with us, but not for long.

    We 10 nose down onto some ground. The steward came, "Have to 11 !" I didn't 12 and immediately unfastened my seat belt. Through the window I saw 13 sign. A14 thought crossed my mind that the plane could be sitting on gas tanks and it might 15!

    The exits were opened and crow crew 16 to help get people down out. When I did touch the ground. I wanted to 17, still fearing the explosion. The gas tanks were 18 and the flight attent passed me my cell phone by which I called my grandparents, who were waiting for 19 from me. Although they knew no one was dead, they were still glad I was 20 !

    "None of us get out of life alive, so be brave and be thankful for all the opportunities (机会)you have." Those were 1 words said by 18-year-old Jake Bailey, a cancer patient.

    Bailey was in the leading position of the Students' Union. The young man had planned to2 at his high school's end-of-year ceremony (典礼)on schedule. 3, just the week before, he received shocking 4. After several weeks of not feeling well, tests showed that he had a fast-growing form of cancer. Doctors said, without 5, he would only have weeks to live, so they didn't 6 him to take part in the event. But Bailey put on his school uniform along with his 7 face and left his hospital bed to give the inspiring speech to his 8. Without doubt, his surprise appearance 9 everyone at the ceremony. Sitting in the wheelchair, he began to 10 his ideas. He expressed that a strong-willed person would not easily 11, no matter how hard life was.

    At the speech, Bailey encouraged his schoolmates to 12 their time. "The future is truly in our hands. 13 about having impractical long-term dreams. Let's be 14to short-term goals," He15. "We don't know where we might end up, or when we will end up, so work with pride on what is 16 us."

    When the senior 17 his speech with the school's 18, "Altiora Peto," which means "I fight for higher things", the entire room burst into cheers.19, Bailey's message was heard loud and clear. Bailey then closed his eyes and 20 the words "Thank you".

    I was ready to pay for my bananas at the grocery one night, when fear seized me. My wallet was gone. I could only have left it on the G9 bus, which was now speeding in the dark to some1station.

    The2moment was quickly followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the3of that little wallet？The credit cards, the driver's license, the cash, all lost to the bus.

    Two hours later, back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband 4it while I was on the phone in the dining room. "Does Jennifer live here?" I heard a lady say. In my husband's hand was my wallet, with not a penny5. She left before I could 6 make it to the door to offer my thanks.

    After sharing the story online, I heard from someone, who 7 the lady as Erin Smith. Without 8 , I called to thank her. She said she 9 my wallet on a bus seat. She10that going to a stranger's house was a 11 move, but she decided to take the chance. "If I were in that 12. I would want someone to try to find me," she said.

    This one stranger responded beautifully to my small 13 , but she actually wasn't the only one. Right after Erin 14 my wallet on the bus, she posted a picture of my driver's license to an online forum（论坛）, trying to see 15 anyone knew me. No sooner did she leave my doorstep than I had emails from two women whose kids go to my son's nursery and who recognized my face. I've never 16 words with those moms beyond small talk, but they wanted to help. I read that people are more divided than ever, but that's not how the people I17tend to act.

    18, I feel blessed someone had wanted to help a stranger. Erin had gone 19what almost anyone would have done, finding my house on a bitterly cold night, and for that I was extremely 20 .

English businessman Richard Branson made history on July 11, 2021 as he and three other crewmates became the world's first space tourists. The flight was made by a spacecraft named VSS Unity that was built by Branson's company, Virgin Galactic. The flight lasted slightly more than an hour, and took Branson and crew to an altitude（海拔） of 53. 5 miles above the Earth, just a little above the boundary（边界） of space which lies 50 miles above the Earth.

At that height, the atmosphere turns into the black of outer space and the Earth becomes a bent ball of blue. Travelers also exhibit weightlessness as there is no gravity, the force that keeps our bodies walking on the Earth's surface. Therefore, Branson and his fellows were able to float around in VSS Unity while enjoying the views. They were able to do that for three minutes before the spacecraft began its downward journey. It landed back at Virgin Galactic's space port in New Mexico, United States, which is the same place from where it took off 90 minutes ago.

On landing back, Branson said, "I have dreamt of this moment since I was a kid but honestly, nothing could prepare you for the view of the Earth from space. It was just magical. I'm just taking it all in, and it's unreal."

July 11's flight is the start of space tourism for one and all. In early 2022, customers who could afford a ticket for a quarter of a million dollars could line up for a seat on a trip to space. And guess what—they will have a choice of spacecraft. Jeff Bezos, who owns a famous company, is all set to launch himself into space on July 20 on board a spacecraft built by his new branch company Blue Origin. Blue Origin will also carry tourists to space.
