Rami Adam, a 44-year-old man, is called Uncle Tony. He helped the children of his native city during the Syrian war. At the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(开始), he planned to carry food for them. But his daughter advised him to carry her{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(自己的) toys to Syrian  children.

    Adham said, "The first time, we went to a camp near a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(小溪). We had brought food. But when we started giving away the toys, kids were more excited. I {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(意识到) they weren't thinking about food, they just wanted a toy." When they saw the toys, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(每个人) was smiling. He learned that toys are one of the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(最必要的) things in their life. "They don't feel we're just giving them a toy, they feel that we're backing them. That means{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(无论什么) happened to them, we're here for them." said Adam. He went {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(穿过) Turkey into Syria. It's a dangerous trip that he has to make by foot. However, in his {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(观点), the dangers he faces on his every trip aren't enough to stop him. He has so far made the journey to Aleppo 28 times, and doesn't plan to stop {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(直到) the war ends.

    Last August I went to Tom's farm to help him. August is the b{#blank#}1{#/blank#}time of the year for farmers, because it is then that they have to cut the corn. It is also the time I had chosen for my holiday, so I decided to do something t{#blank#}2{#/blank#}was useful and at the same time quite different from my work at the office in London. Luckily the weather was fine during two weeks on the farm.

    One cannot cut the corn when it is wet, because it will go bad when one piles it up if it is not dry. The farmers have to wait for sunshine, and then cut and d{#blank#}3{#/blank#}the corn quickly before rain comes.

    My job in the fields was to throw the corn onto the high carts pulled by two huge horses each. Luckily I am quite a strong man, so that I was a{#blank#}4{#/blank#}to satisfy my critical fellow-workers, who were mostly men and had done this kind of work all their lives. When I woke up the next day, I was so tired that I could h{#blank#}5{#/blank#}stand up after all the work I had done the day before. This was not surprising of course. However, by the time I walked out to the field, I had become stronger and h{#blank#}6{#/blank#}.Of course, I also grew hungrier day by day, but luckily there was good food in large quantities to eat on the farm, and I would always take more t{#blank#}7{#/blank#} I used to when I worked in the office.
