Deborah Ahenkorah comes from Ghana, a country in West Africa. She has loved to read since she was a little girl. But all the books she read when she was little were American books and they showed a world that was different from hers. When Ahenkorah grew up, she started Golden Baobab. It is an organization that provides African children with books written by African people.

    Golden Baobab does this in several different ways. First, it organizes programmes and workshops (讲习班). These workshops support African writers. In these workshops writers can learn new things and improve their writing. Second, Golden Baobab connects writers to publishers (出版商). Finally, it offers the Golden Baobab Prize. This is the most famous way in which Golden Baobab works. Any writer who is an African citizen (公民) can compete for the prize, and each story must happen in Africa.

    "Children need books they can relate to. When they see characters who are like themselves in a story, they know that their experiences are important," said Tiffany Morris, who works for Golden Baobab.

    According to Ahenkorah, Golden Baobab has already helped create over 850 stories. She wants to make Africa's book publishing industry a success. "We could have an industry of books, games, toys and characters that come from stories that are made just for African children," she said.

    This is a big dream and also a big challenge. But Ahenkorah and Golden Baobab are working to make it come true.

In 2010, Justin Horner was driving down a busy freeway in Portland, when his tire(轮胎) blew out. He pulled over to the side of the road and made a(an) 1 that said he needed help.

Three 2 later, a van finally pulled up. Out came a family of 3 . They worked together to 4 Horner's car. They found a log on the side of the road, and using it to lift the car. When they finished, themom pulled out a big bottle of 5 , and they drank and washed their hands.

"I just thanked them and thanked them and thanked them,"Horner recalled."And I tried to give her money. Ionly had a $20 bill, and I just thought, you know, it's the 6 I had with me. And she just 7 take it."

But Horner was adamant(坚定的), and finally he put the money in 8 hand, and walked away. Then he 9 their small daughter call out, to ask Horner if he was 10 . Indeed he was, and she came over with abag of sandwiches. They exchanged thank you, she got into the van, and the family started to 11 .

"12 they're trying to get into traffic, I opened the bag and my money is 13 the bag,"Horner said."

Horner immediately ran over to the 14 , which was starting to pull into traffic, to get the father's attention.

"He rolls down his window. He sees me coming and he's just 15 his head. And I keep saying like, 'Porfavor, por favor'—I'm holding a bill out,"Horner remembered.

"And he just kind of puts his hand up and he just says,"‘Today you, tomorrow me.'"

 Hello, everyone. My name is Tom. It was fine last Saturday. My parents and I were so excited, because we visited the farm in the village. We took a car there in the early morning. After about two hours, we arrived there. Firstly, we took some photos in front of the gate. After that, one of the farmers showed us around the farm. On the farm, there are some crops(庄稼) and vegetables. They grow very well. We picked some fresh vegetables there. They cost(花费) us fifty yuan. At noon, we had lunch in a local restaurant. The food there was very fresh and delicious. In the afternoon, we helped the farmers feed the chickens and milk the cows. We felt they were so interesting.

 We had a good time on the farm. We want to go there again next time.

How long would it take you to run 5,000 m? Li Yiben, 80 years old, ran 5,000 m in 28 minutes and 6 seconds（秒）. 

Li did it in a race in Huainan, Anhui Province on April 3rd. There were six runners in his group. The other five were three men in their 50s and 60s and two women in their mid-30s. Li was the oldest but he finished third. 

"This is tough. I have never worked so hard," said Li after the race. 

Li served in the military（部队）when he was young. In 1968, he left the military and found a new job. Li had to go over 20 km from home to work. That's when he got interested in running. Li ran to work every two or three days. That made him a great runner. After he left work in 1995, Li spent more time running. 

In 1998, Li ran a 100 km marathon（马拉松赛跑）. He ran in the National Masters Athletics Championships（全国大师田径锦标赛）in 1999. One year later, he went to the Asia Masters Athletics Championships in India. In 2001, Li went to Sydney to run in the World Masters Athletics Championships. He won many prizes. 

In the following years, Li kept running in many races. Running plays an important role in his life. "Running makes me feel younger," said Li.
