A group of students at Sunshine School are holding a charity sale to raise money to help their classmate Lisa. Lisa had cerebral palsy (大脑性瘫痪) when she was a baby. People who have cerebral palsy have trouble walking. Although Lisa has to use a wheelchair (轮椅) to help her get around, she never gives up.

    "Lisa has the chance of standing up, but she needs an operation (手术)," Lisa's doctor said.

    "I never thought that I could stand up one day. Actually the news is surprising for me. However, when I see my parents are worried about the cost of the operation, I am sad. I don't mind if I can't stand up," Lisa said. "Now my classmates and some other kind people are helping me. I am really thankful."

    "While helping Lisa, we can also learn a lot. We have learned how to cook cookies (曲奇饼) and how to sell them," Betty, one of Lisa's classmates said. "Now we know making money is not easy, so we won't waste money anymore."

    Alex, a boy in Lisa's class, told a reporter that they could raise about $100 every day. "We have raised about $2,100 so far. We hope we will raise more money for Lisa's operation," he said.

    As a child, Alain Robert was afraid of heights. One day, when he was 12, he returned home from school. He didn't find his keys. It was 3:30pm and his parents worked until 6：00 pm. Alain looked at his apartment on the eighth floor. He saw an open window. He closed his eyes and imagined himself climbing the building. When he opened his eyes, he told himself, "I can do it." Fifteen minutes later, he was in his house and his fear of heights was gone.

    Today, Alain still climbs buildings. In 2003, he climbed a building in London dressed as Spiderman (蜘蛛人) to advertise the movie. In 2004, he climbed Taipei 101 (one of the tallest buildings in the world). To reach the top of a building, Alain uses only his hands and special shoes.

    Alain climbs as a hobby. He also does it to make money for charity (for poor children and the homeless). When he climbs, he wants to send a message to people. If you have a dream, you must be brave and keep trying. If something bad happens, don't give up. Close your eyes and tell yourself, "I can do it."

Ben lived alone on the island for three years. The members of the ship left him there because they were angry with him. He had met many difficulties during the three years. There was no fresh water for him, and he couldn't drink sea water. So he had to collect rain water when it was raining. There was no house for him, so he lived in a cave. It was better than living on the ground. There was no food for him, so he hunted wild goats in the forest. He became very good at hunting and fishing. He built a boat and hid it on the coast of the island. He hoped to leave the island by boat one day. One situation he couldn't stand was that there was no person to talk with, he nearly forgot how to speak. So he talked to himself all day long in order not to lose speaking ability.

Since my mother moved to live with us in the city，she1 much heavier than before. As time went by，her health got 2 . So I had to take her to see a doctor. My mother was told to lose weight by doing exercise every day. She had no choice but 3 the doctor said. I told her that I would exercise with her every morning. 

On the first morning，she got up very early and ran with me in our neighborhood. I tried to run slowly so that she could follow me. After running for 4 minutes，I told her proper ways of exercise and the importance of eating healthy food. She listened to me carefully. 5 made me remember that she told me everything very patiently when I was a kid. 6 the morning of the second day，I praised her for keeping running with me. 

But after two weeks，she wanted to give up running because she thought the two﹣week exercise didn't work at all. To encourage her，I taught her how to use the facilities（设施）7 exercise in the gym 8 I always do sports. She began to exercise again. 

With my help，it took her one month to develop a good habit of daily exercise. "Thank you，my dear daughter. 9 exercise brings health and happiness to me. I will never worry about my health. "Her words touched my heart 10 . I felt happy to make a big difference to my mother's life. 

That wasn't a sunny day, but we felt very happy because we went to the Shanghai Waterworks Museum.

First, we went to a grey building. When we entered it, we saw a map on the floor. We met each other happily. On the map there was the Yangtze River, the Huangpu River, and so on. Then, we saw a large fish bowl in the wall. But there were only five plastic(塑料的) fish. That means if we waste water, we will no longer see real fish.

Next, we went upstairs. There we saw a big blue poster. There was a water tap at the top of the poster and the earth was under the water tap(水龙头). It tells us we should save water. The No.3121 water supply station was found on the left side of the poster. An old man was writing on the blackboard. Two women were washing some clothes. At that time, there were stones in the water. The man was writing the number of the stones in the water.

After that, we went to the first floor. We took some photographs there.

We left the museum at eleven o' clock in the morning. Every one of us had I an interesting and meaningful experience that day.
