Tree houses are great places. They are houses that are built in the trees. Children can play and have fun with their friends there. Some children don’t play in a tree house because they can’t climb trees or they are afraid to stay in high places. But for some disabled(残疾的) children, tree houses are only a dream.
So Bill and Philip want to build tree houses for them. They wish everyone can have a good time in the tree houses. Their neighbors(邻居) come to help them, too. After about 7 days, they finish one tree house.
They ask Catherine and Jessica to visit the tree house. Philip asks, “What do you think of it?” “It is so cool,” Catherine answers. “It is also very big. I can get into it easily.”
Jessica thinks Catherine is right. “It is great! Now I can get into it by myself and don’t have to ask others for help,” she says.
Bill and Phillip are very happy about that. They think, “It’s a good way to make friends with these disabled children.”

【推荐1】Debby Tewa comes from Arizona, the USA. When she was very young, her home had no electricity. She couldn’t read at night. And her family cooked over a fire. When she was ten, she moved to a new home with electricity! She could turn on a light and use a phone. She liked it!
When she grew up, Debby started to learn more about electricity, especially solar energy. Solar energy is made when people put solar panels(太阳能电池板) on top of buildings. The sunlight hits these panels and is turned into electricity.
Later, Debby went to work for a company that provided solar energy for people’s homes. She believed it would be a good solution(解决办法) for people living without electricity. She also believed that solar power would work well in villages and small towns in Arizona because there was lots of sun there. Debby decided to help those families.
To get a family started, Debby helped them borrow money from a bank to buy the panels. And the good news was that there was no cost for using the sun’s power!
Debby also traveled to other cities in Arizona and New Mexico to help people get solar energy. Debby loved her work very much and taught people about solar energy.
Debby drove her truck from place to place. It was lonely with no one riding along. But when she thought about how exciting it was for people to use electricity, she was happy. Debby said she was “lighting up people’s lives”.

【推荐2】Everyone faces difficulties in their life. Daniel Kish was born with a special eye illness and lost his eyesight before he was only 14 months old.
Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He learned to make clicks with his tongue to help him move around. Kish now moves about using sonar. He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle by himself on public roads. And he started the organization World Access for the Blind(WAFTB) in 2000, teaching others how to use sonar. In the interview with National Geographic, he explains how the sonar works.
“When I make a click sound, it produces sound waves. These waves reflect off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then deals with the sound and turns it into pictures in my mind. Each click is like a camera flash, which helps me make a 3D picture of my surroundings for hundreds of feet. It’s like having a conversation with the environment.”
Kish feels it is exciting to ride a bike using sonar, although he needs to click twice a second, much more than he usually does. “It may sound a bit dangerous to move around the world in this way,” he says, “But most people in the world live in fear of things that they imagine. I love hiking and mountain biking. I go almost everywhere. And I’ve never had an accident and hurt myself.”
He is happy to be able to help more blind children to improve their life. “We’ve served over 10,000 students in nearly 40 countries,” he tells the reporter, “Many students are surprised how quickly results come. Seeing isn’t in the eyes. It’s in the mind.”

【推荐1】Mrs. Brown was my teacher in the fourth grade. One day at lunch time, I was getting ready to eat my same old tuna fish sandwich and suddenly Mrs. Brown asked me if she could buy my sandwich from me. She explained that I could use the money to buy hot lunch from the cafeteria.
I was excited. I never bought my lunch at the cafeteria. It was too expensive for my family, and I always carried my lunch and brought the bag back home to use again the next day. My sandwiches were either bologna (大香肠)or tuna fish. It hardly changed beyond that.
You can understand my happiness when I had the chance to buy a hot lunch.
When we finished lunch that day, Mrs. Brown took me aside and said she wanted to explain why she had bought my sandwich. I really didn't care why, but it gave me a few minutes of her attention so I was very quiet as she explained. She told me that she was Catholic and Catholics didn't eat red meat on Fridays-they ate fish on Fridays.
Oh, I couldn’t wait to get home and tell my mama that from now on I wanted tuna fish on Fridays. After my mama understood why, she gladly fixed tuna fish for me on Fridays. She even fixed it on brown bread because she knew Mrs. Brown liked brown bread. From then on, every Friday I could get in line（wait in line）with the rest of the kids for a hot lunch. I didn’t care how many of the kids complained about cafeteria food-it tasted divine to me！
Now I realize that Mrs. Brown couldn't have liked a tuna sandwich of Friday. But she bought my sandwich because she saw a little-girl who was excited over the simple act of having a hot lunch.
I will never forget her for her kindness and generosity（慷慨）and what I should do is to follow her example.

【推荐3】It was a cold winter afternoon before Christmas. My parents and I were waiting for the train. There were many people inside the waiting hall.
A boy sat nearby. His worn jacket, pale face, dirty hands all seemed to tell me that he was homeless.
“He must be cold and hungry. Maybe I should help him,” I said to myself. Just at that moment, a well-dressed young couple walked towards him.
“Excuse me,” the man bent down. “My wife and I bought two meal boxes but one was enough for us. We hate to waste good food. Can you help us out and put this to use?” He gave the boy a meal box.
The boy thanked them and opened the box with joy and care. Suddenly he stopped and saw an old man in a worn sweater, worn trousers and open shoes, entering the hall.
Putting the meal box aside, the boy stood up and helped the old man to his seat. He took off his jacket and covered it over the old man’s shoulders, saying, “A gentleman brought me this warm meal but I just finished eating. I hate to waste good food. Can you help me out?” He put the still-warm meal box in the old man’s hands without waiting for an answer.
We were all touched. Dad went away and soon returned with cups of hot chocolate and a big pizza. Mum and Dad went up to those in rags, “Excuse me …”
I rushed into a KFC and took out my pocket money.
It was so cold that afternoon but I felt much warmer than I had ever thought possible.
