I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store. A nicely dressed little girl was 1 the teddy bears beside her father 2 she saw a little boy walk in and stop in front of the Pokemon toys. His jacket was obviously too small. He had money in his hand. However, it looked no more than five dollars at most. He was with his father, and kept picking up the Pokemon video games. Each time he showed 3 to his father, his father shook his head, "No".

    Rather disappointed, the boy gave up the video games and chose a book of stickers 4. After they walked away, the little girl ran over to the Pokemon video games. She excitedly picked up one 5 on top of the others, and ran toward the check-out. I picked up my purchases（购买物）and 6 the girl and her father.

    Then, much to the little girl's satisfactory（满意）, the little boy and his father got in line 7 her and me. After the video was paid for and bagged, the little girl handed it back to the cashier（收银员）and said something to her in a low voice. The cashier smiled and put the 8 under the counter（柜台）. I was putting things in my bag when the little boy came up to the cashier. The cashier said, "Congratulations, you're my hundredth customer today, and you win a prize!" and she handed the boy the Pokemon game. The boy could hardly believe his ears. It was, he said, 9 what he had wanted! The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway, and I saw the biggest and prettiest smile on that little girl I have seen in my life.

    I suddenly understood that the world is not 10 into the strong who care and the weak who are cared for. We must each in turn care and be cared.

Jean Paul Getty was born in 1892 in Minneapolis，Minnesota. He became a millionaire when he was only 24. His father was wealthy, but he did not help his son. Getty made his millions alone. He made his money from oil. He owned Getty Oil and over 100 other companies. A famous magazine on economy once called Getty "the richest man in the world.

But money ____    ____. He married five times and divorced(离婚) five times. He had five children but spent little time with them. None of Getty's children had very happy lives.

Getty loved to make money and loved to save it. Although he was very rich, he was still very mean. Every evening, he wrote down every cent he spent that day. He even put telephones in the guest' s bedrooms in his house, so he could save money on phone bills.

In 1973, kidnappers (绑匪) took his 16-year-old grandson for a large amount of money. Getty' s son asked his father for money to save his child, but Getty refused. The kidnappers were cruel and Getty' s son made repeated requests for help from his father. Finally, Getty agreed to lend him $1,000,000, but he needed an extra $50,000 more in return.

Getty started a museum at his home Malibu，California. He bought many important and beautiful pieces of art for the museum. When Getty died in 1976, the value of the collection in the museum was $1 billion. He left all his money to the museum. After his death, the museum grew in size. Today it is one of the most important museums in the United States. Getty made a lot of money in his life, but he gave all his money to the art world because he wanted people to learn about art and love it.

When Grace Berbig was 7 years old, her mom became ill. Every day, Grace and her two younger sisters would write letters 1 of messages of love. These letters brought joy to their mom.2 their mother passed away three years later. After that, their father often reminded them that3 was a choice, and that it was their job to turn the heartbreaking(令人心碎的) event into4 positive(积极的). 

When Grace got into high school, she5 many organizations to offer help to others, but she6 felt like she was doing enough. "I want to7 a special way for people to help. Everyone can be a part of it, no matter 8 they have money or not. "

In October, 2018, Grace9 a club named Letters of Love at her high school to support children in fighting serious illnesses 10 letter-writing and craft-making. 

To her surprise, more than 100 students11 at the first club meeting. Letters of Love grew so fast that Grace had to raise money online to help cover the 12 of craft-making materials the next year. 

Now, Letters of Love has grown to more than 25 13 with over 1, 000 members. They 14 support for more than 60, 000 patients in children's hospitals around the world. 

Grace took a gap year(间隔年)before she started college so that she could focus on Letters of Love and15 other projects, including publishing a children's book. 

"The goal of the book is to tell children that they are never too young to change the world, "Grace said. 

David is a 15-year-old boy and he is crazy about space. He always wonders how space stations work. For him, a space camp is 1 than any other camp in the world.

At the age of seven, David had 2 first astronaut (宇航员) training experience. He and his parents 3 to a Family Space Camp. They had a taste of what it was like to travel 4 space. Everything was magical. 5 excited David was!

David has been to many space camps over the last eight years. Last month, he went to 6 new space camp. It had a lot of fun training programs, 7 he enjoyed all of them. There he was often asked 8 he liked space camps so much. "I feel like a real astronaut in the space camp, and I don't even need 9 the earth," he said.

These experiences have influenced his life. Now David10 space science. He has made up his mind to be a space engineer in the future.
