Children across the world are taking pictures of their school meals. They are sending these pictures over the Internet to a young girl in Scotland. Then she shares the pictures and stories with people around the world. The girl’s name is Martha. She likes to write. So Martha decides to start her own blog （博客）. Every day, she writes on the Internet about the meals she eats at school. She also takes pictures of the food.
Martha is very honest about the food. She does not just describe the food. She judges the taste of the food. She also judges how healthy the food is. Sometimes she likes the food, and sometimes she does not. Now, other people send pictures to Martha. Students around the world share their pictures of their school food！
Martha also starts her blog for another important reason. She begins to raise money for the organization Mary’s Meals. Mary’s Meals works in the East African country of Malawi. It provides food for children in schools. Martha encourages her readers to send money to Mary’s Meals to help build a kitchen.
Martha hoped to raise about 10, 000 dollars. But the total reached 100, 000 dollars and still keeps on growing! Martha’s blog has also helped to improve meals at her school. Martha and her school friends have found their meals improved since she started writing her blog.

Two men were staying in the same room in a hospital. One man was so sick that he could not even move his body or look around the room. The other man could move, but was also very ill.
Over time, the two men became good friends. They shared lots of things together and even talked about what they hoped to do after they got better. But there was one thing about the room that was special for both of them. The man who could move would look out of the room’s only window, describing the scenery outside for his friend. He told him about the people walking by, the weather—anything that might interest a man who had not seen the world beyond his bed for some time.
One day, when a nurse came to check on the two men, she found that the man who often looked out of the window had died in his sleep. Sadly, she informed the other man that his friend had died and called for nurses to take the dead man away. The other man asked to be moved to the dead man’s bed so that he could look out of the window himself. The nurses moved him to the other bed. However, the man found that there was no window at all—just a blank wall.
The nurses explained that the dead man had been blind. He had never actually seen anything outside the window at all-but he described beautiful scenes to encourage his friend. Sometimes all we need in life is a little encouragement—even if it comes from an unlikely place.

【推荐1】One day, a student was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. There was a poor farmer who was working in the field nearby.
The student turned to the professor and said, “We will hide his shoes, then hide ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see what he will do.”
“My young friend,” answered the professor, “We should never make fun of the poor. Why not put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch?” The student did so and they both hid themselves behind the trees. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.
While putting on his coat, he put his foot into one of his shoes, and felt something hard. Then he bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Surprised, he picked up the coin, turned it around, and looked at it again and again. He then looked around but saw nobody. He put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe. To his surprise, he found another coin.
He couldn’t control his feelings and fell to his knees, looked up to the sky and expressed his thanks. Then he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread. He said the help would save them from dying.

【推荐2】Last week, my class took a field trip to the Cadbury Chocolate Factory in Toronto.
We were put into 10 groups and visited an old building. The guide first explained the history of Cadbury. Then, we got some ear buds (耳塞), disposable (一次性的) lab clothes and hairnets (发网). These protected our ears from the noise from machines and made sure we didn’t dirty their work area.
After preparation, we went upstairs and got into the chocolate-making area. The floor was filled with many machines. Each machine has a different job. The whole floor only has two people working because machines do most of the work.
The next station explained the history of chocolate-making. There was a picture of the factory 100 years ago. They had more than 1,000 people working there. The factory is very different now. It’s amazing how technology is changing our lives.
Later, we saw the chocolate-making process. We got a cocoa bean, some powdered (粉状的) chocolate and a final chocolate product (产品). I opened the cocoa bean and tasted it. It tasted bitter, kind of like dark chocolate. It is the raw material (原料) used to make chocolate. The powdered chocolate tasted good already. The final product tasted delicious. It is a mix of cocoa bean, milk and sugar.
Finally, we bought some chocolate at a shop in the factory. This field trip taught me how important technology is and I also learned about the chocolate industry.
