Jack lives in Washington. He inherited (继承) lots of money when he was 23. But he decided to live a simple life like everyone else. He gave $10,000 of his money to a charity to help poor children live a better life. Today he is 36. He still wears cheap shoes and clothes and drives a small car only, but he is very happy.
Up to now, Jack has helped some children from poor countries all over the world by sending them each $200 a month. The money is used for the children’s study, food, medicine and clothing. Jack receives a report each year on the children’s progress. They can write to each other, but usually the children do not speak English.
When Jack first heard about these children, he wanted to help them. “It was nothing special,” he said. “Until I went to these countries and met the children I was helping, I didn’t know anything about their life.” Once Jack went to meet a little girl in Africa, he said that the meeting was exciting. “When I met her, I felt very happy,” he said. “And I saw that the money was used for a good cause. It brought me happiness. I want to do everything I can to go on helping these children.”

【推荐1】Every Wednesday, I have a swimming lesson before the school starts. When the swimming lesson finishes, it’s usually 8:20. The school starts at 8:30. In 10 minutes, I can’t go back home to get my schoolbag and walk to school. Usually, before I leave for the swimming lesson, I get two bags ready. One bag is for all the swimming things and the other one is the schoolbag.
On some days, I get up late. I often have a piece (一块) of bread, a cup of milk and go to the swimming lesson. Sometimes I only remember to bring the swimming bag. After the swimming lesson, I go to school with no schoolbag. Luckily, my classmates are all nice to me. They are happy to share (分享) everything with me. Some give me their pens, and some give me some paper (纸). In the lunchtime, everyone gives me something to eat. When I finish my lunch, I can’t name everything I eat. There are too many foods.
I don’t like forgetting to bring things, but I feel lucky that I can get lots of love from everyone around me.

【推荐3】One stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the rain, they came to the front desk hoping to get a room for the night.
The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and explained, “All of our rooms are taken. But I can’t send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one o’clock in the morning. Would you be willing to sleep in my room? It’s not very big, but it will be good enough to make you comfortable for the night.”
When the couple declined, the young man said, “Don’t worry about me. I’ll make out just fine.” So the couple agreed. “You can be the manager of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe some day I’ll build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh.
Two years passed, the clerk had almost forgotten the thing when he received a letter with a round-trip ticket to New York from the old man. It recalled that stormy night and asked the young man to pay them a visit.
The old man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of the Fifth Avenue and 34th Street. He then pointed to a great new building there. “That,” said the older Man, “is the hotel I have just built for you.”

【推荐1】I’m Gina. On Sunday morning, I usually get up very late. I wash my face and then go out to do morning exercises. After breakfast, I often go to a shopping center, it’s not far from my home.
I like shopping there very much, but I don’t like shopping with my son. He likes running around, it’s difficult to look after him in the shopping center. I don’t like shopping with my friends, either. It usually takes too much time to buy things with them because they never buy the first thing they see. They always go to other shops to find the same thing cheaper.
I like going shopping with my sister. When I don’t know which one to choose, she will help me. I don’t like buying food in small shops or markets. I like buying it in supermarkets, because it is fresh and cheap.
