If you’re still confused about which are the best charities to donate to, then continue reading further. These charities have a respectable track record, meaning you can be assured that the money you donate is used for the cause that you support.
United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)
It is a branch that operates under the United Nations. UNICEF is engaged in various charitable activities around the world. They fund educational programs for children in remote areas of poor countries, provide meals and health care services, and help prevent child abuse while assisting kids in conflict and disaster zones.
World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
If you’re a wildlife lover and would like to prevent extinction of rare animal species while helping conservation of precious plants and animals, donate to WWF. In fact, WWF has various creative ways to donate. You can “adopt” an endangered elephant or tiger or another animal that WWF is trying to prevent from extinction. Or you can donate a small amount of money every month or annually to WWF.
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
Anyone who watches or reads news is aware of countless conflicts going on around the world and a large number of refugees. Generally, these refugees are children, women and men who are living in areas now infested with terrorists or trapped in wars. You can help relieve some of the sufferings of these persons by donating to UNHCR. They help refugees by providing food, clothing, shelter, health care and other basic necessities.

By design, Giving Tuesday arrives the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and is a perfect time to give to those less fortunate. That includes dogs, thousands of whom will be spending the holidays in shelters rather than loving homes. For a few dollars, you can make their stay a little easier.
Here are several ways you can contribute to animal welfare on Giving Tuesday.
Your Local Animal Shelter
This is the best way to see an immediate impact while keeping dollars in your area. Shelters almost certainly could use your help. If you can’t adopt a pet or donate some time, a money gift is the next best option.
Find your local rescue’s website or social media profile and see if they have a page where you can donate. You can also check and see if the organization has a wish list you can view. Then you can buy something you’re sure they need.
Organizations Affected By Natural Disasters
2022 was yet another year full of natural disasters, whether it’s flooding, hurricanes, or fires. Through it all, shelters and rescues keep caring for their dogs and cats, keeping them safe and healthy.
Then comes the aftermath (余波). Shelters still have to care for many lost or homeless pets—numbers that often increase after disasters—as their communities clean up and rebuild. There’s no pause as their jobs get harder. If you know of an animal welfare organization affected by a disaster this year—natural or otherwise—they could use some help.
Plenty More Giving Opportunities
There is no shortage of places to donate on Giving Tuesday, so if you’re still unsure on where to direct your generosity—or, hopefully, willing to give to a few organizations—here are even more ideas.
Canine Cellmates, a program that aims to train dogs to be adoptable
America’s VetDogs, which partners service dogs with veterans (老兵)
Best Friends Society, an organization dedicated to avoiding the euthanisation (使安乐死) of shelter dogs
Biscuits and Bones, which organizes dog food donations
There are hundreds of other worthy organizations not listed here, so research your own area and give somewhere close to your heart.
1. Which of the following is the best way to help your local animal shelter?| A．Donating money | B．Volunteering |
| C．Providing animals | D．Saving dollars |
| A．It is hard to clean up | B．They are easily damaged |
| C．Pets tend to become unhealthy | D．They have more animals to deal with |
| A．Best Friends Society |
| B．America’s VetDogs |

【推荐2】I set out to change the lives of those who need help by joining my school’s newly formed Free The Children Club. Through the determination of friends, the group has grown bigger and stronger each year. Over the past two years my friend, Alex Auclair, and I have become the leaders of the club.
Already, after only two years of fundraising, we have accumulated over three thousand dollars and almost two thousand food items through various fundraising efforts. For example, each year a 24-hour famine (饥饿) is planned resulting in absolutely no consumption (消耗) of food. By taking part in these activities, we put ourselves in the shoes of someone living in poverty.
No money raised goes to waste. At the end of each school year, the group takes a vote to determine where our funds will be spent and donated. Last year, we bought enough desks, chairs, supplies and textbooks for every student in a Kenyan school. This year, we plan to spend our earning helping out families in Sierra Leone.
Poverty is a worldwide issue affecting the lives of people in not only developing countries, but also first-world countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Japan. Living in poverty can result in hunger, many forms of disease, lack of education, and for millions, death. It does not have to be this way. You too can form a club like the Free The Children Club or you can participate in events outside of school. Get your friends, family, even your community involved in fundraising. Do what you can to change the world.

【推荐1】Appealing Wordles
The website game Wordle was a huge hit earlier this year, with more than two million players across many countries trying to guess its daily word. If it has sparked your interest in word puzzles, there are plenty of brilliant mobile games to test your letter skills on the Android and Apple app stores.
Alphabear: Words Across Time: It is a great example. Each level starts with a grid of letters , from which you make words...and bears! The animals pop up if you use letters that are next to one another, and the bears get bigger as you spell more words. You can also unlock special powers to boost your points and time.
Wordfeud: If you’re a fan of board games you might enjoy! It lets you play Scrabble-style matches against friends. If you’re really keen you can be involved in up to 30 games at once. The game also lets you mix up the board so that its bonus-score tiles appear in different places, to keep you all on your toes.
Letterpress-Word Game: It is also a multi-player game, where you can play against friends or bots (game-controlled players). You have to spell out words to capture sections of the on-screen grid of letters for your colour (red or blue) before your opponent does, so it’s not just about finding one word at a time but also carefully planning your next moves.
SpellTower: It is about strategy, too. It’s a wordsearch game where the letter tiles rise up from the bottom of the screen. You have to reduce the tile as quickly as you can by finding words and beating your own high scores.
Some of these games use in-app purchases to unlock all their puzzles or remove adverts. They are optional — and remember, if you want to spend money, check with an adult first.

【推荐2】May 18th is International Museum Day. Let’s take a look at some of the strangest museums around the world.
Giant Shoe Museum
Located in the famous Pike Place Market of Seattle, the Giant Shoe Museum is a single exhibit wall located on the outside of the Old Seattle Paperworks store and brings a lot of business to the shop as a result. A variety of giant shoes include a size 37 shoe worn by the world’s tallest man, a real clown shoe and the world’s largest collection of giant shoes.
Washington Banana Museum
Ann Mitchell Lovell really loves bananas. In fact, she loves them enough to not only run the Washington Banana Museum, which features almost 4,000 items related to the world’s best-selling fruit, but to also upload photos of her favorite items from the museum online so those who can’t make it to the physical location can still enjoy the virtual Banana Museum.
Roswell UFO Museum

Since it opened its doors in 1992, it has outgrown two different locations, and now occupies an old movie theater.
