Have you ever watched old movies? If so, maybe you have known Carole Lombard (卡罗尔·隆巴德). She was a famous actress in the 1930s. She died when she was only 34. In her short life, she made 70 movies.

    In 1921, when she was only thirteen years old, a movie director saw her in the street. He decided to put her in a movie. The movie was one of the last silent movies. She acted well enough to win the hearts of many people. At the age of 16, she left school to act. In 1926, an accident happened to her. The accident left scars on her face, but she didn't give up. She continued to act.

    Later, she married Clark Gable that was an actor. He was the great love in her life. They lived happily together.

    A little boy almost thought of himself as the unluckiest child in the world because he was born with a lame (瘸的) leg. He seldom played with his classmates and always lowered his head without a word.

    One spring, the boy's father gave each child a small tree to plant." Whoever grows the best tree will get a favorite gift," he said to them. Seeing his brothers and sisters watering the trees happily in the garden, he had a terrible idea: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So he never cared about it.

    A few days later, he was surprised to find it not only didn't die, but also grew some fresh leaves, and it looked greener and healthier than the others. He got a favorite gift and was told by his father: from the tree he planted, he would become a great botanist (植物学家). One night, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly remembered what his teacher once said: most plants grew at night. Why not go to see the lovely tree? When he came to the garden, he found his father was watering his tree carefully. At that time, he understood: his father had secretly taken good care of his shall tree! He returned to his room with tears (泪水) running out.

    Many years passed. The little boy didn't become a botanist, but he was known as a great president of the United States. His name was Franklin Roosevelt.

Every Saturday evening, many people come to an open square in a small town in Xi' an. They want to watch Chen Kun and his friends put on a play. During the play, the audience （观众） can hear them, but they can not see them. That is because they are putting on a shadow puppet play （皮影戏）.

Shadow puppets are made of hard leather （皮革）. The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colours and put on a stick. Some puppets have movable arms and legs.

During a shadow puppet play, Chen stands behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. Chen and his friends hold the puppets very close to the screen so the audience can see the puppets' shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters.

Shadow puppet plays are a traditional Chinese art. Now with TV and films, shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before. To encourage more young people to learn the skills of shadow puppet plays, Chen provides training courses for students to teach them how to make shadow puppets.

Chen and his friends often work very hard for little money, but they do not mind. They want to keep this traditional art form alive.

As a banker, Billy had never planted so much until he moved to the countryside seven years ago. Soon he became interested in growing and rented (租) a 30- by-30- foot land. One weekend, he planted tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants. He ended up with so many 1 that he couldn't eat them up. 2 he found a local food bank, and gave away 120 pounds of fresh vegetables in all. Moved by Billy's kindness, some people offered to help 3 .

The following year, together with several 4 , Billy planted and got 1,500 pounds of vegetables. All of them were given away to the food bank. Later he had more volunteers, rent more land and gave away more vegetables.

 Billy also 5 local school kids. On a Friday morning in May, 40 third and fifth graders walked onto one of his fields. Each of them had a spade(铁锹). They dug holes and6 put the plants in them. Although they got their clothes and hands 7 , nobody complained(抱怨).

" The activity makes kids know there are people 8 ," says Billy," and it plants the seed for giving back. When they are adults, it will be much more possible for them to 9 people around them to do something like this.

" Billy makes people want to 10 ," says Holly, a mother of two." And families love this. Billy has given us a way to raise our kids with a giving heart."
