The cold wind blew strongly outside. Amaya was warm in her house, thinking about an article she'd read at school. The article was about kids who helped out their communities, and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town, Harvard.

   The only problem was that she wasn't sure how to help. In the article, the kids had grown food for people who needed food, but it was winter. She couldn't start a garden. Amaya was deep in thought when her mom said it was time to go shopping.

   As they drove along the road, Amaya saw a family walking on the sidewalk(人行道), wearing only light jackets. How could they must be! That gave her an idea! She could collect winter coats, hats and gloves for people who needed them.

   She shared her idea with her mom, who thought it was great. But how would they spread the idea to get plenty of winter clothing? Amaya decided to talk to her teacher, because then she could share her idea with her classmates at least.

   Ms. Monroe agreed when Amaya talked about her idea. They decided to call the project Hats in Harvard. Then they wrote a letter explaining the project. Ms. Monroe even said she could help Amaya talk to the headmaster aboutit, so they could get the whole school to join in it. They met with the headmaster during lunch time. He was excited about the idea, and said he would make sure copies(复印件) of the letter went home with all the students.

   They collected enough winter clothing in only one week. Then they left the clothes around two parks, so families who needed clothes could get them there. Three days later, Amaya and her mom went shopping again. She saw the same family that had given her the idea for Hats in Harvard. This time, though, the family looked nice and warm in some new coats, hats and gloves. Amaya felt warm in her heart, and was very glad she could help others.

There are some famous buildings in the world.Every one can recognize (认出）them with their imaginations. For example, when you see a picture of a1stadium like a bird's nest, you probably know it is the Olympic Stadium 2Beijing.

 In fact, you can recognize other buildings more 3The shaped of the building shows the things people can see inside. In Guizhou, China, people can visit the Meitan Tea Museum, built in the shaped of a big teapot. From far away, the teapot-shaped museum 4like some kind of huge work of art. But 5you get closer, the windows make it clear that this is a building.

Jamie was tired. She had been on her feet for hours. Her mom {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(拥有) a small but busy restaurant in town. Three of the workers were {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(生 病的 ) that morning. There was a big food festival in the city park that day. and Jamie was a big {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (迷) of it. Jamie {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (仅) wanted to sit down for a while. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (代替), she walked around the restaurant with no break. As soon as she {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(清理) one table,a new set of customers(顾客) walked in. That meant more orders and more coffee.

"Order up!"called the cook from the kitchen. Jamie was very sleepy. She didn't move, and just thought about {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(令人惊叹的) foods in the festival from all over the world.Jami {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(想象) the delicious smells(气味) of new and special foods.

"{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(赶快) up, Jamie!"said the cook.

"I'm coming," Jamie answered in a{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (焦虑的) voice.

Li Wen is a 15-year-old boy. He works hard and{#blank#}1{#/blank#}（do） well in school. It is hard to believe, that he used to have {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（difficulty） in school. When he was a little boy, he seldom caused any problems, and his family{#blank#}3{#/blank#} （spend） a lot of time together. 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, things began to change a few years ago. His parents moved to the city to work, and they could not be at home to look {#blank#}5{#/blank#} him. So he became less interested in {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（study） and was absent from classes. Then his parents were so worried{#blank#}7{#/blank#} they decided to send him to a boarding school. He found life there difficult. One day he told his teacher that he wanted to leave the school. His teacher advised his parents to talk with {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（they） son in person. This conversation changed his life. He realized that his parents would always love him, and they would be{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（pride） of everything good that he did. Now he is much {#blank#}10{#/blank#} （happy） and more outgoing than he used to be.

Many people might think that if they had more money, then they would be happier in life. For example, people might look at what others have, like expensive clothes or nice cars, and wish they could have the same. But the things that money can buy cannot bring happiness to a person for a long time. 

But is that really true? Studies have found that money can, in fact, make people happier. But it's not having money that brings happiness. Instead (相反地), it's giving money to others that makes people happy. It could be buying a gift for a friend or a family member. It could be buying a homeless person food to eat. It could be giving money to a person in need. Just think about the last time you used your own money to do something for someone else. How did you feel? Whether it is a small or large amount of money, people feel happier when they give. This is because making someone else happy makes the giver happy, too. 

This idea of connecting (关联) your happiness to the happiness of others is called ‘ubuntu' in an African language. There is even a story about a man visiting Africa. He asked some children to race to a nearby tree. The first child to touch the tree would get sweets. Surprisingly, all the children held hands and ran together. They all touched the tree at the same time. The man asked why they did this. The children simply said they could only enjoy eating the treat if everyone had one.
