    Sarasota, Florida teen band The Garbage-Men is performing on the stage. The band has five members. They are Jack Berry, Ollie Gray, Harrison Paparatto, Austin Siegel and Evan Tucker. The five teens are making music from waste. The Garbage-Men band's instruments are made from recycled things. The guitars are boxes. A horn(号) is made from pipes. The keyboard is formed from old bottles.

    The band started about two years ago. Jack Berry who was in eighth grade at the time decided to make a playable, home-made guitar, after some trial-and-error(反复试验), he ended up building it from a cereal box, a yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray, Ollie had the idea to form a band using other home-made instruments as a way to improve recycling. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin.” Jack, 16, told TFK. “You can actually reuse materials.”

    The Garbage-Men plays at local events around Sarasota, including festivals, farmer's markets and community fundraisers. Typically, the teens will set up on the street and perform popular songs from the 1960s, including classic Beatles tunes and crowd favorite “Wipe Out,” by The Surfaris. In between sets, they talk about recycling and offer tips for how to help the environment. While they perform, Jack's little brother Trent, 11, gives out flyers(宣传单) about recycling and helps sell the band's CDs and other musical products.

    The band donates(捐赠) the money from sales to charity. They have raised more than $2,500 for Heifer International. The organization gives farm animals, seeds and agricultural(农业的) training to people in poor countries to help end poverty and hunger. “It's a good, sustainable-development (持续发展的)charity,” Jack says, “By donating one animal, you help the whole community.”

    The band, all tenth graders, tries to play a show every week. They've also played on a Tampa, Florida radio station and auditioned(试演) for America's Got Talent. The teens hope to eventually take their shows on the road by touring in other states. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it's really accessible(可接近的),” Jack says. Their instruments may be rubbish, but their message isn't.

    The world is full of amazing things. Today, I'm going to talk about something amazing.

    We have lots of things to do every day, so many of us will be tired after a busy day. They all choose sleeping to have a rest. But do you know that sleeping can consume（消耗） many calories. The energy consumed is even more than watching TV. If you want to have a good health, I think you can't sleep too much.

    Do you like animals? There are a lot of surprising things they can do. Goldfish are a lovely kind of fish. Most goldfish have quite a short life — only 6 to 7 years. Once, the goldfish called Freb had a very long life. It lived up to 41 years. It was the oldest goldfish in the world. Now if people take good care of the goldfish, they can live more than 10 years. Animals are our friends. We should know more about them and give them a good home. Do you have any interesting stories about amazing things? If so, tell us. Let's share them together.

    Once there was a king. He liked to write stories very much. He always thought that his stories were good, so he liked to show them to people. As people were afraid of him, they all said his stories were very good and they wanted him to write more for them to read. The king was so happy that he wrote many more stories.

    One day, the king showed some of his best stories to a famous writer. He wanted the writer to praise (赞美) these stories. But after reading, the writer said his stories were so bad that there was no need to waste time on it and he should throw them into the fire. The king got very unhappy and sent him to prison.

    After some time, the king set him free (释放) and ordered him to come to his palace (宫殿). Again he showed some of his new stories and asked what he thought of them. After reading them, the writer at once turned to the soldiers and said, "Take me back to the prison."

Florence Nightingale was born on May 12th, 1820. In 1851, she trained as a nurse. Two years later she went to a British military (军事的) hospital so that she could help British soldiers. Before she arrived, many soldiers died in the hospital because it was dirty. Nightingale worked hard to make the hospital clean and stop soldiers dying. When she returned to England in 1856, she was a national heroine. Nightingale wrote two books about nursing and she also started a school to train nurses. She died in London on August 13th, 1910, when she was 90 years old.

Donna Brown, a 14- year- old girl, was very ill. She had a bad heart. "Donna must have a new heart. " Her doctor said, "or she will die soon. " Felipe Green, Donna's good friend, heard the news, he was very worried about (担心) Donna. He didn't want her to die. He decided to give his heart to her because he knew he was going to die. 

Then he talked to his mother about his idea. But his mother didn't pay much attention to him. "Felipe is just playing a joke (玩笑), " his mother thought. In fact, Felipe often had terrible headaches(头疼) and never told his mother about them. 

One morning, he woke up with great pain and he couldn't breathe (呼吸). The Greens hurried to send him to the hospital. The doctors had bad news for the Greens. "Felipe's brain is dead. " The Greens were very sad. But Felipe's mother remembered (记住) his words. She told the doctors to give Felipe's heart to Donna. The doctors did several tests (测试). They said they could give Felipe's heart to Donna. 

Everything was successful. Felipe's heart was beating (跳动) in Donna's chest (胸膛), but Donna didn't know it. The doctors and her parents didn't tell her until (直到) she was stronger. Donna was very thankful to the Greens. Every time the Greens saw Donna, they thought of Felipe. Donna has Felipe's heart in her. That gives them great peace.
