    On Dyec. 13, 2014, Nubia Wilson turned 16. But instead of 1with an exciting Sweet 16 birthday party, the California teen devoted this milestone to 2the lives of orphans in Ethiopia.

    Through several summers of volunteer work at an Ethiopia orphanage, Nubia learned firsthand the severe poverty so many children3. In an email to The Huffington Post, Nubia said that she was 4struck by the children's lack of access to 5— their school only went through the fourth grade.

    Over the course of her volunteer work, Nubia became interested in one 6, Hermela. She writes:

    Out of the many students in the kindergarten class, Hermela became 7and attached to me to a point where it was becoming 8for both of us to leave each other. She is now in the second grade. The thought of Hermela not being able to have her meal and 9education after the fourth grade became 10and I knew I had to do something.

    That's when Nubia decided that she didn't want a traditional Sweet 16.11, she wanted to use the money her parents would have spent on a party to establish 12grade class for Hermela and other kids.

    "The money could provide a(n) 13solution that will serve for many years compared to the one-day 14of my party," Nubia wrote to Huffpost Live. In short, I want Hermela to continue 15. "

    After telling friends and family her 16, Nubia set up a(n) 17page "Keep Hermela Smiling" on CrowdRise. Her 18will raise funds for the Fregenet Foundation, which funds education and community services in Ethiopia.

    So far, Nubia has 19$2,781 of her $10,000 goal.  Nubia says that her parents have been extremely 20; they're selling most of their Ethiopian artifacts to help raise funds.

    Nubia's birthday may not have been a party, but it's truly a celebration.

 阅读理解

When I was about twelve, I headed to a restaurant for dinner with my family. It was winter, and on that night the wind was really blowing hard. 

As my mum and I headed to the restaurant from our car, a girl about my age and her mother came up to us. They asked if we had any spare change(零钱). My mum right away asked where they lived. They pointed to an old car in a parking lot across the street. The girl said there were six of them living in that car. 

My mum said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars. She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings(兄弟姐妹). But she didn't come. Later, I found out she had gone home and put all the food in our cupboards into a few bags. Then, she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family. I wasn't there when that happened, but I can only imagine the joy it brought to those people. A few days later, when I actually found out about what she had done, I asked her why she helped those people. She told me that they were not lucky. I remembered the face of that girl who had asked us for change. She was the same age as me, yet we looked so different. 

Here I stood, dressed in almost new clothes, headed to eat in a restaurant and then went back home to the bedroom I shared with my younger sister. I remembered thinking the other girl didn't have any food to eat and that she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people. 

After painting this picture in my mind, I understood why my mum had done what she did. I will never forget what she did that night, and how she taught me one of the best lessons I have ever learned.

One day as I drove toward my home in a small town, I passed the local bus station. Several passengers had already 1 a bus and were making their way to parked cars or setting off on foot to their various destinations.

2 as a group of people crossed the road in front of me. As I watched, I noticed an old lady struggling with a too large suitcase.Witnessing this lady and remembering similar 3 I had experienced in the past when traveling, I called out through the open passenger window, "Excuse me. Would you like a 4 ?" She stopped without answering. I said. "If you want to tell me where you are going, I'll drop you off. That suitcase looks 5 heavy." "Well, all right," she answered. When we got to her 6 , I helped her down with the suitcase. Suddenly, she said, "God bless you, lady. No one has ever given me a(n) 7 like that before. I hope someone will do a good turn for you one day."
