I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn't understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.

    Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

    Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl's test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn't talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.

    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!

Students at Sanhe Township Primary School enjoy playing soccer. It is art important part of their school life. Every student at the school. has a soccer lesson once a week. Students of all age groups play soccer matches every month. 

The school is in the mountains and has poor teaching resources. Most of its students are left-behind children, and very few of them can go to high school or university. To help students have a good future, ten years ago, Sun Xiaoming, the headteacher of the school, set up a girls' soccer team. He picked 20 girls from the fourth and fifth grades and offered them free training, clothing and meals at school. 

Primary school students are short and thin, so it's difficult for them to play basketball or volleyball. But soccer is different. It is cheap and easy to learn. Students can play it by a team on the playground, or practice it alone at home. For these reasons, soccer is the perfect choice for the students. 

The students really love soccer. They keep practicing every day. Many of them play it well. Some of them get into great middle or high schools. Some of them make it into soccer clubs and become professional players. 

Soccer is not just a simple sport. More importantly, it means a chance to help those students get out of the mountains and live a better life. 

Long long ago a man went to India and he had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of 1 , but much of it was expensive because they couldn't grow much for there was little water.2 he saw a big basket of some very red and long fruit. And it was the 3 in the shop.

He 4 and asked, "How much is each kilo?" and the shop keeper said, "Two rupees (卢比)." Two rupees in India was 5 . So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it, oh, my god, his 6 watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red. He jumped up and 7 , saying, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at 8 shook their heads and said, "You're 9 , man. Those are chilies (辣椒)! You can't eat so many! People use them as a condiment (调料), but only a little bit to put into food for 10 . You can't just eat them like that."11 the silly man said, "No, I can't stop! I paid money for them, and now I'll eat them up. It's my money!"

And you think that man was silly, right? We sometimes do a lot of things like that. We 12 money, time or effort doing something. And even though it's been a long time. Hard experience tells us it won't 13 . And we know there's no more hope, we 14 continue just because we've put money, time, effort and love into it, just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn't 15 because he didn't want to waste the money he'd paid.
