Children often ask for money from their parents. But in the US, some students work as babysitters(临时保姆) to get money. Noa Mintz, a 15-year-old girl in the US, has her babysitting shop.

    About three years ago, Mintz, worked for some time as a babysitter. She found that there was no good way for families to find babysitters. So she wanted to do something about it. Mintz started Nannies by Noa in her summer vacation. It helps families and babysitters to find each other quickly.

    At first, Mintz helped write down the names of her friends and classmates who wanted to babysit(当保姆). Later, Nannies by Noa became a big shop. It now has 25 full-time nannies(全职保姆) and 50 babysitters.

    When talking about her work, she feels proud(自豪的). She knows it's just a start. “It's good to see that I give people jobs. It's great to see what I can do.” said Mintz.

Chinese New Year is an interesting and important festival in China. Today, let's learn(学习) some things about it.

We know New Year's Day is on January 1st, but Chinese New Year is on the first day of the first lunar(阴历) month. In China, we call the Chinese New Year the Spring Festival. There is a name for every year. We may call it the Year of the Dog or the Year of the Pig. And the year 2024 is the Year of the Dragon(龙).

Before(在…之前) the festival, people(人们) are busy. They buy many things and clean their houses(打扫屋子). On Chinese New Year's Eve, there is a big family dinner. People always eat jiaozi for it. After dinner, people watch TV and welcome the New Year. People call it shousui in Chinese.

The next day, the New Year comes. People are happy. They wear new clothes and go to see friends and relatives(亲戚). Children like to wear new clothes, eat good food and get lucky money on the day.

People always have a very good time during the festival.

The greatest feeling in the world comes not from receiving gifts or getting good grades in the exams. It starts when you do something for others. You feel it when you drive for an hour to a hospital to meet the sick children. And you feel it when you sit down to comfort（安慰） your friend after her mother died. 

My friend took me to a Youth Group meeting in his school. Then they invited me to join in feeding the homeless. Early that Saturday morning，a group of 15 teenagers began making sandwiches，washing fruit，and counting bags of cookies. For the first time in my life I realized that we，the teens of America，could make a difference. It made me join the Youth Group. 

I work at a coffee shop. It's not the best job，but sometimes it's worth（值得） it. One day，the store was empty and I was bored. I cooking out of the window，I noticed an old man sitting outside. He never came in to buy anything because he didn't have any money. I took a cup of coffee，walked outside，and handed it to him. The smile on his face made my day ， and as I walked back into the store. I paid for the coffee myself. Then I knew how the members of the Youth Group feel every time they help someone. Knowing that you can help others is great.
