It was very cold, Amaya was warm in her house, thinking about an article she'd read at school. The article was about kids who 1 out their communities, and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town, Harvard.

    The only2 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 wearing only light jackets. The cold wind blew 3 outside. How cold they must be! That gave her an idea! She could 4  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 5 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 6  Hats in Harvard. Then they wrote a letter explaining the project. They also 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 the7for Hats in Harvard.  This time, though, the family wore some new coats, hats and gloves. Amaya felt 8 in her heart, and was very glad she could help others.

I have invented robots which improve the work of cars. My love of making things began when I was a kid. I really became 1 about inventing after I learned about Thomas Edison.

In Grade Four, we 2 a project by our teacher in class. We had to write to a company and learn about the products. I chose the Thomas A. Edison Company. Soon after,3 company sent me a book about the life of Thomas Edison. 4 excited I was!I enjoyed reading and re- reading about his inventions. I like the recorded sound and the electric light best.

My dad 5 my interest in inventing and encouraged me. He showed me 6 I could turn my ideas into plans and then into new things. Once, I surprised 7 witha model plane I made. Later, we found a similar model plane 8 a store. I learned that different 9 often invent similar things. I also learned that not all great ideas work. Failure is a common part of the inventing.

My dad is always looking for a better way 10 a simple job. His guiding hands, together with my interest in inventing has led me to become an engineer and inventor. Of course, I also thank Thomas Edison. He is my hero.

When Charley got up one morning, he saw the ground deeply covered with snow. 

"We must have a path through this 1 " said his father. "I would make one if I had time. But I must be at the office 2 this morning." "Do you think you could make the path, my son?" he asked little Charley. 

"I? Why, the snow is too 3 !'

"You can try doing it little by little," said the father, as he 4 for his office. 

So Charley got the snow shovel (铁铲) and set to work. But it was 5 work. He got tired. 

"I don't think I can do it, mother," he said. "A shovelful(满铲) is so 6 , and there is such a heap (堆) of snow."

"Little by little, Charley," said his mother. "That snow fell in tiny bits, flake by flake, but you see what a great 7 it has made."

"Yes, mother, I see," said Charley. "If I 8 it away little by little, it will soon be gone."

So he worked on. 

When his father came home to dinner, he was 9 to see the fine path.

The next day he gave little Charley a fine blue sled (雪橇), and on it was 10 in yellow letters, "Little by Little."

 Last Saturday, we went to Yan' an Revolutionary Memorial Hall(延安革命纪念馆) with our teacher. We had great fun taking the bus and talking with our friends in such fi ne weather. It took us about half an hour to get there. We spent all day visiting there. I was excited to learn more about the history of this place.

 There are nine revolutionary memorial halls. Revolutionists (革命先辈) left a lot of important things there. So it is a very important revolutionary place. After listening to the guide, we knew a lot about the history and spirit (精神) of Yan' an. They are so great. I want to know more from this visit.

 In one of the halls, Ma Mei, my classmate, used her phone to take videos (视频) and photos of the old things. She wanted to show these videos to her parents. I also took some photos. I wanted to tell some stories to my younger sister, because I was really moved (感动) by Yan' an spirit. We live a happy life now because of these revolutionists, so we must show our thanks to them by studying hard for a more beautiful country.
