People say that one person can't really make a difference, but I don't believe that. If all of us just do "one" thing like the following three heroes, we will make a difference.

Super Girl

    When she was 7, Brooklyn Wright wrote The Adventures of the Earth Saver Girl. In the book, a girl learns she has the power to make the Earth free from rubbish. She calls her Super Girl and tries her best to save the Earth. Brooklyn Wright has visited more than100 schools to teach students about pollution. Last year, she received a Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes for her work.

A Voice for Elephants

    Many elephants are being killed for their ivory. After learning the facts, China's Celia Ho, 14, decided to take action. By making posters and writing letters to newspapers, she hopes more people will learn about the problem.

Turning Cooking Oil into Fuel

    Jane Lin didn't start out "to be green" .At first, she was worried about her neighbor who couldn't afford heat in winter. At a science expo, she saw someone turning old cooking oil into fuel. Suddenly, she came up with a plan to collect old cooking oil for the poor family. So far she has collected about 21, 000 gallons of fuel for 210 families. At the same time, she helps reduce the emission（排放） of CO₂  and other greenhouse gases.

    Eric and Doris King Turner are packing their bags for New Zealand. They're busy deciding what to pack and what to leave behind in Britain and are making plans to extend their new home in Nelson. Doris is looking forward to getting the garden into shape and Eric has his heart set on a spot of fly fishing. The difference is that Eric is 102, Doris is 87. Eric thinks he's Britain's oldest emigrant.

    In January next year Eric King Turner and his wife of 12 years will wave goodbye to their neighbors, and set sail from Southampton on the voyage of a lifetime. The ocean liner(远洋客轮)Saga Rose will take six weeks to get to Auckland and the couple are expecting a red-carpet welcome from family.

    Doris was born in New Zealand but gave up her homeland when the couple met and married in the late 1990s. But New Zealand is close to both their hearts and the attraction of family and friends, and the good fishing helped to persuade them to move.

    Doris, who has five children and nine grandchildren, supported her husband's application to settle in New Zealand. The paperwork took five months. Eric says." We not only had to produce a marriage certificate(证书)but we had to produce evidence that we were in a long and stable relationship! "He also said he was not asked about his age but had to show that he could support himself financially(财政上)in New Zealand.

    "I like New Zealand. The way of life is very much the same as it is here but it is not so crowded. "His wife has always been" a little bit homesick" but has never complained. Now the couple are in the middle of the task of sorting out possessions and selling their flat.

    Tara: Nicole, I have a problem.

    Nicole: What kind of problem?

    Tara: I have a job interview tomorrow, and I heard that the boss will ask to see my Facebook profile. I'm not comfortable with that.

    Nicole: That's illegal in some countries, like Canada. Can you refuse?

    Tara: I want to, but I'm afraid that if I do, I won't get the job!

    Nicole: I guess I see the boss's point. Looking at a candidate'sFacebook page will tell him a lot about the person's life and personality.

    Tara: That's true. Most of my life is on Facebook. My profile could tell him about my hobbies, my interests and what my friends think of me. I find the idea of showing a boss that much personal information disturbing.

    Nicole: Companies run background checks on possible employees all the time. And this is just another way for him to see if you're trustworthy. Besides, I've seen your Facebook page, and you don't have anything to hide.

    Tara: Maybe not, but my friends might still post things on my Facebook page that make me look bad.

    Nicole: I think the boss will probably realize the differences between your posts and your friends' posts.

    Tara: He might, but I'm also worried that something the boss sees on Facebook could be misleading. For example, I wore a really crazy costume to my friend's party last week. I wouldn't want him to think I always do strange things like that.

    Nicole: Yeah, but I don't think the boss would assume that one picture shows how you always act. I'm sure he'll be pretty cautious about drawing conclusions too quickly based on Facebook.

    Last weekend, Dave, Bob, Alice and Ann had a trip on the island not far from their houses.

    Dave rode his bike to the river with his guitar at eight first. Then Alice got there. She took No 5 bus to go there. But why didn't Bob and Ann come? They decided to meet at eight. At ten past eight, Ann came. She said, "I'm sorry I'm late. I have to walk here because my bike doesn't work." Ann could play the violin very well. She took it with her. Another twenty minutes passed, Bob arrived there." Bob, you're late", Dave said. "Hmm. On my way, I helped a boy find his parents," said Bob. "Oh Bob, you re great. You're a good boy." All the other children said.

    The boat ride took them about twenty minutes. At twenty to nine, they came to a boat and took the boat to the island. Wow, the island is green everywhere. It's really great.

    They did something interesting there. First they enjoyed the wonderful sights(景色).Then, they had some fruits and drinks.

    At last, they had a show. Dave played the guitar. Ann played the violin. Alice danced and Bob sang. They had a fun time.
