Donna Ashlock, a 14-year-old girl from California, was very sick. She had a bad heart. “Donna needs a new heart,” her doctor said, “she must have a new heart, or she will die soon.”

Felipe Carza, 15, was worried about Donna. Felipe was Donna's friend. He liked Donna very much. He liked her freckles, and he liked her smile. Felipe didn't want Donna to die.

Felipe talked to his mother about Donna. “I am going to die,” Felipe told his mother, “and I am going to give my heat to Donna.”

Felipe's mother didn't pay much attention to Felipe. “Felipe is just kidding,”she thought, “Felipe is not going to die. He's strong and healthy.”

But Felipe was not healthy. He had terrible headaches sometimes. “my head hurts,”he often told his friends. Felipe never told his parents about his headaches.

One morning Felipe woke up with a sharp pain in his head. He was dizzy (眩晕的), and he couldn't breathe. His parents rushed Felipe to the hospital. Doctors at the hospital had terrible news for them. “Felipe's brain is dead,”the doctors said, “we can't save him.”

The parents were very sad. But they remembered Felipe's words. “Felipe wanted to give his heart to Donna,”they told the doctors.

The doctors did several tests. Then they told the parents, “we can give Felipe's heart to Donna.”

The doctors took out Felipe's heart and rushed the heart to Donna. Other doctors took out Donna's heart and put Felipe's heart in her chest. In a short time the heart began to beat.

The operation was a success. Felipe's heart was beating in Donna's chest, but Donna didn't know it. Her parents and doctors didn't tell her. They waited until she was stronger; then they told her about Felipe. “I feel very sad,”Donna said, “but I am thankful to Felipe.”

Three months later the operation Donna went back to school. She has to have regular checkups, and she has to take medicine every day. But she is living a normal life.

Felipe's brother John says, “Every time we see Donna, we think of Felipe. She has Felipe's heart in her. That gives us great peace.”

    Here are two stories from different parts of the world. They seem strange but, believe it or not, they re all true!
    John Lee was an Englishman who refused to be hanged! In 1884 the police said Lee had killed an old woman who he used to work with. There was nothing to show that Lee had killed the woman. Lee told the police he hadn't done it, but no one believed him and he was going to be hanged. On the day of the hanging, however, the door in the floor, through which Lee's body would fall, did not open. They tried three times but each time the door stayed closed, even though it had worked well the day before. In the end they sent Lee back to prison, where he lived for the next twenty-two years. At all times, John Lee said he hadn't killed the woman, and he believed it was the "hand of God" that had saved him from death by hanging.
    The police in Venezuela (委内瑞拉)in South America followed a man home one night. He was the thief they wanted to catch. However, half of his house was standing in Venezuela and the other half was standing in Colombia (哥伦比亚). Venezuela's neighbor. When the police entered the house, the man ran upstairs to his bedroom, which was in Colombia, and called his lawyer (律师). The Venezuelan police were not allowed to enter Colombia so they could not enter the bedroom. They asked the police in Colombia to help. The Colombian police refused to help because the man's crime (罪行)was not a crime in Colombia. In the end, the Venezuelan police gave up and went back to the police station.

    In the Charles E. Johnson Elementary School in New York, there is a special radio. It gives people warnings（警报）about bad weather.
One day, there came a sound from the radio. This sound brought the piece of news:a heavy storm was coming. William Tom, principal（校长）of the school, asked teachers to bring children indoors and put them in a safe place at once.
   Minutes later, the storm came. However, because of the warning of the radio and the quick work of the principal, no one was hurt.
“The radio really did work very well.             （我们对它的工作感到很高兴），”William Tom said. “The parents were as well.”
    The U.S. government hopes there will be more such success stories. It plans to give this kind of radios to all 97,000 public schools in the country.
    Every year, more than 10,000 big thunderstorms, 2,500 floods, 1,000 tornadoes（龙卷风）and some hurricanes（飓风）take place in the U.S., so the warning radios are very useful. They not only give people warnings about bad weather, but also give warnings about other dangerous things.

Drawing on a New Friendship

Last Saturday, I went to the park to draw. When I finished the outline of a girl, a shadow（影子）fell across my drawing.

"That's not a bad start", said the shadow. "Do you have any finished drawings?" I looked up to see a girl about my age.

I was displeased that someone was looking at my drawing and interrupted me. "Not bad?" I asked.

"No need to be angry." The girl handed a sketchbook(素描本)to me." Want to look at my drawings?"

I felt curious and traded sketchbooks with her. Her sketches of people were okay, but I was really attracted by her drawings of nature, like trees, rocks, and rivers, all done with great detail.

"Wow！You have some talent," I said. "What's your name?"

The girl took back her sketchbook and answered, "Emma Thompson."

"I'm Alice Ruiz, "I said." You draw so well. Are you in an art class?"

Emma replied, "No. The art class is full, so I have to wait until next term. Besides, you're a talented one. I really find it difficult to draw people, but you make it look easy."

"I have a great idea！"I said." Let's draw together！You can draw the nature views on one piece of paper while I draw the people on another. Then we'll exchange and finish each other's drawings. That way, both drawings would show off both of our talents!"

"That's not a bad idea, Alice, "Emma agreed.

About an hour later, we completed our drawings. I had drawn a boy walking with his dog. Emma had added a path and some flowers. Emma had drawn a beautiful tree, and I had added a girl reading under the tree.

"This was a fun idea, "I said." Hey, Emma, would you like to meet me here again to draw together?"

"See you next Saturday, Alice, "Emma said with a smile.
