When he left the hospital, Adam decided to become a doctor, so he went to a medical school in Virginia, USA. But when he was there, he did things in a different way. For example, he didn't like the doctor's white coats, so he wore shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients and he tried to make them laugh. The doctors at the medical school didn't like Adams because he was too different.

   But Adams believed that people in hospital need more than medicine. He saw unhappy and lonely people, and he tried to help them as patients, but as people too. He spent a lot of time with children in the hospital and often dressed up like a clown to make the children laugh

  When he finished medical school and become a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital, called "the Gusundheit Institute"，together with some other doctors. They wanted it to be a place with a different way of working with sick people.

   Hunter Adams became famous during the 1980s, and in 1988, Universal Pictures made a film about his life. It was very successful. In the film, Robin Williams played Adams. Williams said,"hunter is a really warm person, who believes that patients need a doctor who is a friend. I enjoyed playing him.”

Many years ago, an earthquake happened suddenly. A lot of buildings collapsed(倒塌)。 It killed over 100,000 people in a few minutes. Shortly after the earthquake, a father rushed to the school where his son studied only to find the building had fallen down. He remembered his promise to his son:“No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!”The tearful father began to dig to look for his son. Some parents felt hopeless and tried to pull him off. But he asked,“Are you going to help me now?”And then he kept on digging. The fireman came.They tried to pull off and said,“Danger! Leave here!” But the father who loved his son deeply,asked,“Are you going to help me now?”The policeman came up and said,“It's over.Leave here!We'll do it.”Still he asked again and again,“Are you going to help me now?”He went on alone because he needed to know,“Is my boy alive or is he dead?” He dug for 8 hours ...12 hours... 24 hours …36 hours …then, in the 38^th hours, he pulled back a large stone And heard his son's voice. He cried,“Tom!”He heard back,“Dad? It's me, Dad! I told other kids you'd save me. I believe you would keep your promise.”"Get out, boy!”“No dad! Let the other kids out first. Because I know you'll get me out! No matter what happens, I know you'll always be there for me!”

    Home garages (车库)usually have space for a car and maybe things like tools and bicycles. But at Jaecee Rae Carr's home in Tennessee, USA, her parents, garage is filled with blankets and towels.

    After a visit to the local animal shelter (收容所), Jeacee decided to do something to help make the animals more comfortable.

    "I started asking friends, family and neighbors to donate blankets and towels to our local animal shelters," said Jaecee. "I didn't expect people to give so much! We have donated all of them to 20 shelters in 7states."

    Still, Jaecee Rae wanted to do more for shelter animals. So she started pet food donation. "Family, friends, teachers and people in my community donated about 2,700 pounds of dog and cat food," said Jaecee.

    In 2013, Jaecee was praised on different situation because of her hard work. After a year she won the Tennessee Governor's Volunteer Stars Award. She was the youngest person to win the prize and that made her so proud.

    Jaecee didn't stop trying to do more. "In March 2019, my family and people in the community donated things to my Humane Yard Sale. "Our garage was full! "said Jaecee, didn't realize so many things to help. It was a lot of work, but totally worth it. We sold so many things and raised over $1,000 from the yard sale!"

    What's next for the young volunteer to do for animals? Maybe a look at her garage will tell the tale!

Once there was a duck called Rodney. He lived in a town near a big forest.

Most animals in the town thought Rodney was a clever* duck because 1 could tell the stories of many great writers and even the stars in space. Rodney himself was also proud*of being the cleverest in his town. He 2 asked others for help.

One day, he went for a walk in the forest alone. And before long, he was 3 . Just then, a bird flew by and said to him, "You're quite far from the town. Do you want me to show you the 4 ?" Rodney didn't want other animals to think that he, a clever duck, would 5 help. So he said "Oh no, I'm OK!" to the bird before hurrying off.

It was getting dark. Another bird flew past and saw him. "Hey, are you 6 the way to your town?" The bird asked. But the proud duck told him that he was just watching the stars, and then hurried away again 7 asking for help.

"How can you see the stars in a forest with so many trees?" the bird thought. "A 8 young duck!"

It was really dark then. Rodney couldn't see anything to guide him. He became afraid and sad. Rodney finally 9 he would ask for help when someone came along. He waited with hope 10 not an animal came by. The forest was dark and quiet. The clever duck spent a cold night shivering under a leaf.

"If I was really clever, I'd listen to others!" he thought.

Chinese students thank their teachers on September 10th, Teachers' Day. How do American students thank their teachers?

First of all, US schools thank their teachers the whole first week in May. Their special Teachers' Day falls on the Tuesday of that week. During the week, the school will have special parties and give teachers gifts. There are "Thank you" signs everywhere to thank teachers.

US students give small gifts to their teachers to let them know how great they are. It could be a simple gift like a thank-you card with a personal message. US teachers love it because they think it's meaningful. They like it even more when students say "thank you" directly (直接地) to them. US teachers like getting arts and crafts (手工艺品) from children best. Little things to decorate (装饰) their classroom are also common gifts in the US. This could be a small plant.

It doesn't take much to celebrate a Teachers' Day. But students shouldn't just wait until Teachers' Day. 他们应该一直都感谢他们的老师。
