    Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Canada. One day, when she was five years old, she was walking with her mother in downtown. They saw a man 1 out of a rubbish can. She asked her mother why he did that and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry. Hannah was very 2. She couldn't understand why some people had to live their lives without houses or enough food. Hannah started to think about how she could 3, but, of course, there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve the problem of homelessness.     

    Later ,when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was a woman, 4 an old shopping trolley（购物车）which was full of 5. It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them. Hannah 6 to do something. She had been talking to her mother about the lives of homeless people 7 they first saw the homeless man. Her mother told her that if she did something to change the problem, she wouldn't 8so bad.

    Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness. She hoped to 9 her message of hope. She started the Ladybug Foudation(基金) and began to raise money.

    Hannah is one of many examples of young people who are making a 10 in the world. You can, too!

    I walked into the Huddle House Restaurant in Brunswick, Georgia and sat down at the table. I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.

    "Excuse me," suddenly a soft voice came into my ear.

    I looked up and 1 a nice-looking woman standing before me.

    "Is your name Roger?"2 asked.

    "Yes, " I answered, feeling rather confused(困惑的) as I had never seen her before.

    "My name's Barbara and my 3 is Tony," she said, pointing to a middle-aged man sitting alone at the table by the window. He was 4 and weak.

    "Tony White, from Landon School in Jacksonville, Florida." She added.

    I looked at that man for a few seconds 5 I didn't recognize(认识) him.

    "I'm really sorry. The name doesn't ring the bell(听起来不耳熟), "I said.

    She walked back, began 6 with her husband and once in a while I saw her turn around and look directly at me.

    I ordered breakfast and a cup of 7, sitting there, trying to remember who this Tony was. "I 8 know him," I thought to myself. "He recognizes me for some reason." I picked up the coffee cup. Suddenly it came to me like a flash of lightning.

    "Tony, the bully(横行霸道者), the bad boy!" I could 9 believe my eyes. "Jesus! He's so thin now. Not the big boy that I 10 from back in 1977."

    Everything came up to my mind. The time this 11 boy had made fun of my big ears in front of the girls in my class, and the time this big bully had pushed me against the walls in the hallway just to make himself 12 a big man to all other students.

    "I am sorry, Roger," Tony rolled by me in the wheelchair, being pushed by his wife, raising his thin trembling hand. "I am so sorry for 13 that I did to you."

    "I'm…I'm er…" I didn't know 14 to say to him.

    A few months later, I received a letter from Barbara. Tony was 15. Tony had been a fireman and had been seriously wounded in a task.

    How I regretted(后悔) for not saying something to him but I no longer had the chance!

    Young Scottish brothers take on a list of 500 adventures

    For Ollie and Harry Ferguson, life is an adventure. For the past four years, the brothers have been working to1a list of 500 challenges and experiences.

    "The idea came about actually from the boys," their father, MacNeill Ferguson, said. "The boys were just asked one day if they could2 some cool things for us to do as a family. They put forward some impossible ideas firstly, like going on a trip to Mars, International Sausage Day and all kinds of3 kids requests. They built the list to a hundred, then kept finding new things we wanted to go and try ... until it got up to 500." They're all listed on the brothers' Facebook page.

    So far they have built an igloo, explored the wilderness, and sent their Lego men to the depths of the ocean and into outer space. Perhaps their biggest 4is playing out right now on the high seas. Last year, Ollie and Harry launched(使下水) a toy ship from the Scottish coast. The ship named "Adventure" sailed across the North Sea to Scandinavia. It then began a ride on a Norwegian boat and was launched 5, this time off the coast of west Africa. It's equipped with a tracking device(跟踪器), allowing the brothers to6every step of the sailing.  But the battery(电池) on the tracking device is becoming weak, so Harry and Ollie hope a passing ship 7 their boat and is able to recharge(充电) its battery, allowing the adventure to continue.

    "Harry, where would you like the boat to go?" Ferguson asked. "Without (a) 8 , that would be China because we all love China." Harry answered. He thought that even there are so many difficulties, the boat will reach China.
