We may give without loving，but we cannot love without giving. Love means giving as much as we can. Love is like a smile，neither has any value unless they are given away. As Mother Teresa once said，"It is not how much you do，but how much love you put into what you do.”

As an ordinary person, what can we do when our nation is in danger? Gong Dafei has set us a good example. 30-year-old Gong comes from Datong, North China’s Shanxi Province. Not long ago, he was building Huoshenshan Hospital in Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei Province. After finishing his work there, he decided to give away all his salary(薪水) to the hospital.

It was not easy to build Huoshenshan Hospital. For thousands of workers like Gong Dafei, they had much trouble working there. However, all the workers never gave up. Instead, they kept working hard day and night. It took them only ten days to finish building a large hospital for saving more patients with COVID-19.

When Gong Dafei heard the news about building the hospital, he made a decision to join in without thinking twice. Although most of his family members disagreed because he might be in danger, Gong still left his home and arrived in Wuhan on January 30, 2020.

“Since the epidemic(传染病) broke out and spread, I’ve kept paying attention to the conditions of the disease,” he said. “We all know the hospital is of great importance to Wuhan and even the whole country, so I decide to give away all my salary from my work to the hospital.”

“I just want to do what I can and hope to welcome victory soon,” he added.

Breakfast is food for the brain. And it’s good even for people worrying about their weight. Middle school students who eat breakfast are more likely to have healthy weight than those who don’t eat breakfast. This is true even for students who eat two breakfasts — one at home and one at school. “Not skipping(跳过) breakfast helps you not overeat later in the day,” says Marlene Schwartz.

One study has found many kids end up eating two breakfasts. People become worried that kids who eat breakfast both at home and at school might become overweight. In fact, Schwartz now says that’s not what her data(数据) have turned up.

Her group studied 600 middle school students. Over three years, students from 12 different schools were asked about their breakfast. About 34 to 44 percent of all students said they usually ate breakfast at home. Almost one in every six kids usually ate breakfast at school. About one in every 10 kids ate breakfast both at home and at school. Eating habits changed as the kids got older. For example, fifth graders were more likely to eat breakfast. But 22 percent of the seventh graders often didn’t eat breakfast. Surprisingly, at every age, kids who ate breakfast were less likely to be overweight. This was true even for those who ate breakfast at home and at school.

The study found no evidence(证据) of greater weight gain among students who ate double breakfasts.

Why should eating two breakfasts not lead to weight gain? The researchers don’t know yet. But one explanation may be that school breakfast is very healthy and controlled in size. So eating that along with the home breakfast may not be bad for most active and growing middle school students.

At the bottom of the sea, there lived a beautiful mermaid princess(人鱼公主). She was good at singing.     33    . But she was not allowed until she turned fifteen.

Finally, it was her 15th birthday. The little mermaid rose up to the surface of the sea. There was a large ship on the sea. And she saw a handsome prince standing on the ship.    34    .

However, a sudden storm turned over the ship. Many people fell into the sea, including the prince. The princess saved the prince and brought him to the shore(岸). The princess took care of him all night. When the prince came to life, the little mermaid hid behind a nearby rock.     35    . Just then, a young girl came by. Thinking the girl had saved his life, the prince thanked her.

The little mermaid watched the prince leave. She wanted to tell the prince the truth, but she couldn’t. From then on, the little mermaid always swam near the palace at night to see the prince. She wanted to become a human so that she could stay with the prince. So she asked the sea witch(女巫) for help. The witch agreed to turn her into a human, but she had to give up her beautiful voice.    36    . And if the prince married someone else, she would become foam(泡沫). The little mermaid took the medicine and swam to the prince’s palace...
