Jayce began noticing when he was in kindergarten that he looked different from his classmates. They had two hands while he had one. Due to their young age, Jayce was encouraged that he was just like an angel with one wing folded to prepare for something.
It started when one boy laughed at him. From that day, 5-year-old Jayce turned sad. He returned home with questions. “Why am I different? Why me? Why?” He cried to ask his mother, Lewis Seeing Jayce was mad at God for making him that way, the poor mother felt it a huge dagger to her heart. What made her more sorrowful was that she didn’t know what to do at that point and how to provide answers to her son’s questions which she could never find out herself. The white lie burst just like bubbles that day.
A few weeks later, Lewis turned on the TV to a news story, where she was shocked to find out the answer. It was Trashaun, an eighth grader, that displayed positive energy from his head to his toe. The 14-year-old sunny boy performed his slam dunks(大灌篮) on the TV, who had been a hit on the Internet. However, like Jayce, he had missed most of his left arm since his childhood! Lewis called her son Jayce in. The poor little boy got spellbound, watching dunk after dunk.
At the time, it seemed that watching Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for Jayce. He saw Trashaun as a tough role model who had a seemingly similar born disability but led a brilliant life. And had it stayed just that, Lewis would have been happy. But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to Trashaun, asking him to help set up a meeting with Jayce to rebuild his confidence.

2 . Delivering medical supplies to hard-to-reach places has been an issue for years. Worldwide, more than two billion people lack access to essential life-saving supplies, such as blood and vaccines（疫苗）. In the African nation of Rwanda, for example, several remote health clinics do not have sufficient quantities of blood and other healthcare products. A company called Zipline is trying to address this problem. It uses drones（无人机）to transport medical supplies around Rwanda. A drone can now deliver medicine in 30 minutes.
Drones are also assisting emergency organizations after natural disasters. In 2015, for example, a powerful hurricane destroyed thousands of buildings in the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu. Around 75,000 people lost their homes, and at least 15 died. After the storm, drones photographed the damage. These surveys helped emergency workers assess the situation quickly and answer important questions: Which areas were hardest hit? Were crops damaged? What roads were affected?
Drones are also helping to protect wildlife populations in parts of Africa and Asia. Every year, poachers（偷猎者） kill thousands of elephants, rhinos, and other endangered animals. To stop them; the environmental organization World Wildlife Fund is using drones to find where poachers are hiding and if they are carrying weapons. Equipped with infrared video cameras, drones can easily identify people and animals at night. These drones are not only helpful, they are affordable.
As well as finding poachers, drones can be used to track animals. Scientists at Liverpool John Moores University （LJMU）plan to employ drones for an ambitious conservation project: documenting the world's wildlife. The long-term project will start with scientific surveys of animal populations. And animal species can then be identified using special software.
Ironically（讽刺地）, a tool originally created for military use is increasingly being used to save lives instead of taking then. Drones have the potential to provide solutions that will benefit both humans and animals.
