Every August, teams with players about 10 years old play baseball across the US, with the aim to become Little League1 . In this year's game, Isaiah Jarvis, a Little League batter (击球手),2 the pitcher (投球手), Kaiden Shelton, who threw a baseball that hit him in the head. The3 scene brought tears to the eyes of the crowd in the stadium.

On August 7th, Kaiden Shelton, from Texas, 4 Isaiah Jarvis, from Oklahoma, at the plate. With two strikes against Isaiah, Kaiden 5 lost control of his pitch. The ball hit Isaiah in his helmet, sending him to the ground. The field staff immediately 6 him and found him to be OK. He decided to remain in the 7 . Yet Kaiden, the pitcher, appeared to be 8 .

Isaiah called a timeout upon seeing his9 battling emotions. He calmly walked toward Kaiden and gave him a big hug, trying to10 him. "Hey, you're doing just great." Kaiden later shared with NBC News. "These11 words from him really helped me."

A video of the moment was posted online and attracted more than 6.5 million views. Danny Graves, a sports announcer, said Isaiah's12 was the best thing he had ever seen in Little League baseball.

The Texas team won the game 9-4 to 13 to the Little League World Series. And Isaiah was also 14 to the game to celebrate its 75th anniversary. The pair told NBC News they think their newfound 15 will last beyond any tournament.

I often wondered what it would be like to have cancer.

I didn't expect to find out, though, at last not for decades. I have always been healthy and strong; I regularly do hot yoga and swim two kilometers in a bay near my home in Sydney.

But now I know: it felt as if I was carrying a baby. Tumors (肿瘤) that silently grew inside me suddenly became bigger one weekend.

Then, one Saturday in June, I was struck with sharp pain and ended up in the hospital.

My doctor said it might be very serious. I spent two weeks waiting for the operation, not knowing if I'd live to the end of the year.

In the days before the operation, I turned off my phone and computer. I prayed so hard that I grew unnaturally calm.

The operation lasted five hours. The mass was fully removed, but it was unexpectedly complicated. I was in special care for eight days, in the wires, machines, with pipes in my lungs and liver.

Luckily, the operation was very successful and I am slowly growing stronger. I am walking upright again and waking without great pain. I can now drive, and am preparing to return to work. My prognosis (预后) is good, but I will need to live with the fear of return.

Everyone suddenly seems consumed with foolish worries. I have a different idea about the complaints posted by some Internet users who had the flu, were upset by the upcoming exams or burdened by work. I want to scream: BUT YOU ARE ALIVE! Alive! Each day is a gift, especially if you are upright and able to move with ease, without pain.

I'm still struggling with what all of this means. But in this short time, a truth became even clearer to me.

We should not have to move to the woods like Henry David Thoreau to "live meaningfully". It would be impossible and frankly tiring to live each day as if it were your last. My doctor asked me a few days ago how I became so calm before the operation. I told her: I prayed; I locked out negativity and drew my family and friends near; I tried to live meaningfully.

She said, "Actually you should do that for the rest of your life."

Barrington Irving made his historic flight and founded an educational non-profit-making organization.The secret,he believes,is having a dream in the first place,and that starts with learning experiences that inspire kids to build careers.

The moment of inspiration for Irving came in his parents' bookstore.One customer,a professional pilot,asked Irving if he'd thought about becoming a pilot."I told him I didn't think I was smart enough;but the next day he took me to the cockpit(驾驶舱)of the commercial airplane he flew,and just like that I was hooked."

To follow his dream,Irving turned down a football scholarship to the University of Florida.He washed airplanes to earn money and increased his flying skills by practising at home on a $40 flight simulator(模拟) video game.Then another dream took hold:flying alone around the world.He faced more than 50 rejections for sponsorship before convincing some companies to donate aircraft components.He took off with no weather radar,no de-icing system(除冰系统),and just $30 in his pocket.

After 97 days,26 stops and dozens of thunderstorms,he touched down to a cheering crowd in Miami."It was seeing so many young people watching and listening that pushed me into giving back with my knowledge and experience." Irving has been doing it ever since.He set up his non-profit-making organization,Experience Aviation(航空),aiming to increase the numbers of youth in aviation and science-related careers."We want to create chances for students to accomplish something amazing,"he notes.The most powerful educational tool is the example his own life provides.

A big fire took the life of the mother in this family. When I 1 , the father and his child Mario were 2 staying in a garage. There were already quite a few 3 at the door. A mother and her daughter caught my 4 . The mother said to her 5 , "Look, this is the best jacket your daddy just 6 . This quilt is Mommy's best one. We all can 7 our best to Mario's family, so why can't you give your best? Can we change this old bear to your most 8 one?"

At just 18 years old, Khalifa Aminu from Kano, Nigeria, has proved himself as an amazing inventor, with his sensory glasses designed to help the visually impaired (视障人士).

The glasses are fitted with infrared sensors (红外传感器) that can "see" obstacles in the user's path, warning them about possible dangers without the need for traditional walking sticks or guide dogs. In their current form, the glasses let out a beeping sound when an object is nearby, helping users move past it safely. Aminu is now working on making the glasses even more effective, particularly in low-light and nighttime conditions.

Aminu's journey into the world of invention began in childhood. He started small, building a canoe (独木舟) as his first project, and quickly realized that his creations could be used to solve real-world problems in his community. This love for invention has led him to create various innovations such as a radio station, a bomb detector and an automatic water sprayer for farmers.

As for how Aminu came up with the idea of his latest creation, Aminu explained, "I grew up in an area where there are visually impaired people, and I understand what they're going through. This is why I began the process for a technology-based solution for them."

The glasses have received positive feedback from testing. In a recent trial, a blind man was highly impressed by their effectiveness. "He suggested several improvements, like a wireless switch, smaller parts, and lenses for better usability," Aminu explained. "These suggestions will be carried out in future versions, but the challenge remains the lack of materials and resources for further development."

Luckily, in June, Aminu's invention caught the attention of Nigeria's National Commission for Persons with Disabilities, suggesting a bright future for him in further innovation and mass production. "My ultimate dream is to build a global company that continues to develop innovative technological solutions not only for Nigeria but for the world," said Aminu.
