   A small ,white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree and it has been there for the past ten years or so.
   It all began because my husband Justin hated Christmas—oh, not the true meaning of Christmas.Overspending was one thing, but compared to the difficult experience of choosing gifts—running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and a pair of gloves for Grandma…,spending money is nothing. I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.
   Knowing Justin felt the same way, I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration came in an unusual way.
   Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling (摔跤)at the junior level at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored (赞助) by an inner-city church.These youngsters, dressed in such worn-out shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.
As the match began, I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets (头盔) to protect their ears. Well, our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.
   Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot potential (潜力) , but losing like this could take the heart out of them.” Justin loved kids—all kids, and he knew them, having coached little league football and baseball. That‘s when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to inner-city church without leaving my name.
   On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.

As I walked to my car at a shopping mall(购物中心), I saw a man. He was sitting on the ground with a board that said, "Please help".

I often 1 $20 to people like him, but now I decided to2 some time as well. I stopped and said, "Come on, brother. Take your things and let's get you some groceries (食品杂货)."

As we walked back into the3 , I knew his name. I learned that he had a place to live,4 had no money to buy food. I also knew that he was happy although he was poor. He shared his story5 , but I still wanted to help him. We started with some fruit and6 . He chose some tomatoes first, then got some carrots and a couple of onions. I 7 him what he hadn't had for a long time. He said 8 . So we chose a nice steak (牛排). As we were 9 , he told me he had two boys. A big pack of noodles went in the 10 . He also asked if he could get some books. Of course, that was fine, too.

I was not sure what had happened to this man, but he was 11 . He just only put what he really needed12 his basket. I know I will not do this all the time, as I don't have enough money to do so next. Treating people with love, kindness and warmth is 13 . Helping others is a good way to help the world, even just in a 14 way. We often feel that there's 15 we can do to make the world better, but that's just not true.

When most kids go to the beach, they're always busy playing with sand. But for Cash Daniels, the plastic straws(吸管) on the beach made him start a lifelong career(事业) in saving the planet.

Now Cash is 14 years old,and he has had a really positive influence(积极的影 响) on his hometown. Besides organizing river cleanups, he has written a children's book about river pollution. He has also raised enough money to put 17 recycling bins(回收箱) along the Tennessee River.

Cash has always loved nature. Once he learned that 80% of waste from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn't sit back and do nothing.

With the help of his family, Cash took the first step — cleaning up the river. It quickly went from a family act to a community(社区) activity with hundreds of volunteers and neighbours.

"I started The Cleanup Kids with my friend Ella," Cash said. "We want to make a difference first in the place where we live. We also want to teach kids how their actions are influencing the water and the ocean."

"The ocean is important. Everyone should take care of it. If you love the ocean and love what lives in it — you'll want to protect it," Cash continued. "We have only one Earth. Every little action matters. One person can make a positive change if he simply stands up and joins in."
