Two years ago, Tim’s parents died in a car accident. Even since then, his elder brother and he have had to work part-time to make a living. He has been working as a part-time waiter in a restaurant for six months, and now he’s just got his salary.
He was walking back to school and saw the notice board in the hall. There was a notice asking for donations (捐赠) for the earthquake. Amanda, a girl from a very wealthy family, was reading the same notice.
“Aren’t you going to donate?” Tim asked, “People there must be having a really hard time. All their houses have been destroyed by the earthquake. They’ve got nothing left, no place to live, nothing to eat or...”
“Sorry, I don’t have money to spend on that!” she laughed. “I have 10 new dresses to buy. I need to get a new phone. And then I’m planning to fly to Paris for the weekend.” With these words, she walked away.
Tim took the money from his pocket and walked to Mrs Tawreen’s office.
“Excuse me, madam,” he said. “I don’t have too much for a donation, just 300 yuan. Could I just donate this?”
Mrs Tawreen smiled, “Wow, 300 yuan, my dear? Well, I have to tell you that, of all the donations we’ve received from our students so far, it’s the largest amount. And yes, you may donate right now.”
Tim put the notes into the donation box. Maybe his brother and he would have to miss a few meals this month, but it would make a difference to the lives of those less fortunate than them.

【推荐3】When we buy a house, we all want to have nice neighbours, because most of us think that it is helpful to live with some good neighbours. But what kind of neighbour is good? The answers are different from people to people. Here are my answers.
First, it is very important to respect each other. If our neighbour tries to know more about our life, how will we feel? He or she may also talk with others about our life. Do you want to live with him or her any more? The answer is “No”. We will feel very sad to have this kind of neighbour and move away quickly.
Next, a good neighbour is always ready to give us a hand when we need him or her. For example, if we are not at home, our good neighbour will watch our house for us.
Finally, a good neighbour should love the environment (环境). He or she never puts rubbish here and there. Good neighbours should keep the place clean, because the good environment can make us comfortable and happy.
I think we all should learn to be good neighbours, and I also hope everyone will have good neighbours and live a happy life.

【推荐2】Everyone makes decisions in daily life. They can be as important as what you will do in the future or as simple as what you will eat for breakfast. And decisions could be the turning point of your life.
I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.
Before I made that decision I was one of the boys who tried hard to act as an adult. I didn’t know that only kids want to show themselves as adults. I didn’t listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades were poor. Then the high school entrance exam came.
At the turning point of my life, my mom had a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn’t refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard.
Mom smiled and asked again, “I asked: what do you WANT to do?”
I never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent.
“Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society（步入社会）,” she went on, “it is your own decision. Your life should be decided by you, not by anyone else, including me.” After saying that, she had tears（眼泪）in her eyes.
For the first time in my life I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become.
It took me about a week to make the biggest decision so far in my life—I want to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard.
The path（小路）to my future became clear to me. I didn’t act rebelliously （叛逆地）any more. With passion（激情）in my heart, I studied hard. Now, I’m 17 and I’m in one of the best schools in my city, in one of the best classes at the school and I’m one of the best students in the class.
Thanks to the decision, I have become what I am today.

【推荐3】Recently, the Voice of America has interviewed Dr. Rick. He has worked in West Africa since 1995. His main duty is improving AIDS's health care in Liberia.
Early in 2014, he caught Ebola while saving patients in the hospital. The first sign of his illness was a low fever. This fever lasted for 3 days. Then on the fourth day, his stomach problem began. That was when Ebola patients lost much water in their bodies. “Some people got bleeding. Some developed serious pain in the head or in the muscles. Luckily, I didn't really experience those.” Now he is in good condition after the treatment in the USA.
“When I arrived in Liberia, most of the hospitals were closed because almost all doctors and nurses had to develop useful treatments against Ebola at that time. Some of them were either sick or dying because of catching Ebola. And sometimes workers in the hospital wouldn’t like to come back to work.” Dr. Rick says it is even worse for those people who need health care. He talks about one group—pregnant women. These women cannot get treatment because hospitals are closed. They might face the risk of losing new lives in their bodies. Or even their own lives were in danger without giving birth surgically. He says the second group of people are looking for the treatment for another illness such as AIDS. They may easily catch Ebola when they go to the hospital. Sometimes the symptoms of their illness may be like Ebola. These people might not get the right treatment at the very beginning. Situation is terrible now in Liberia. This is not only about Ebola, but it really influences on the health system as a whole.
The situation is still serious there, but Dr. Rick says, “I know people there need me to go on doing what I've done. And even if I don't make it, I will be still in the right place.”
