1 . Children grow quickly, especially their feet. But many families cannot afford (买得起) new shoes each time. As a result, about 300 million children around the world go barefoot(赤脚), those children risk picking up diseases and parasites (寄生虫) from the soil.
Kenton Lee, an American, has a solution for those barefoot kids -- a shoe that grows with the child. He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long. “It grows in three places: the front, the sides with velcro (尼龙搭扣) and the back with a buckle (扣环). It can last up to five years. The bottom is made of compressed rubber (压缩橡胶), and the top is high-quality leather. The shoes come in two sizes: small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14.”
Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in Kenya. “There were many children with too small shoes for their feet, but they were too poor to buy a new one. So they had to cut open the front of the shoes to let their toes stick out. I want to do something to help them, so I invent these shoes.”
Up to now, they have sent more than 50,000 pairs of shoes to 70 countries. A pair of shoes, he says, gives a child not only protection, but also self-worth. It's a small invention but really does make a big difference in these children's life.

2 . Long long ago, there was a beautiful little girl. She was alone because she had no family and no home. She only had her clothes and some bread. But she was very kind.

National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity (机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations (期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.
The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.
★ Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.
★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.
★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.
★ Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations.
★ Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.
★ Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.
Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “…little things can change a person’s life.”
