Nick was born with no arms or legs. There was only a small foot on his hip(臀部). He can't do the easiest things like washing his face or brushing teeth, but he can type, pick things up between his toes (脚趾)and even kick a ball.
Nick grew up in Melbourne, Australia. He wasn't happy at school because his classmates often laughed at him. At the age of 10, he even wanted to kill himself. But later, he changed. He tried to look at good things around him. When he was 17, a friend encouraged(鼓励) him to give speeches. From then on, he began to travel around the world and give talk about his life. He thinks it can help others. Up to now, he was been invited to more than 50 countries and given thousands of talks.
Now Nick is 32 years old. He lives in California with his wife, Kanae, and their 2-year-old son.
When you are sad, think of him. At least you have arms and legs.
Some people in the world are still living with hunger. As many as 815 million people in the world didn't have enough food in 2016.
Heifer international wants to end world hunger. It began in 1930 when an American farmer went to Spain to help people in need. These people often went hungry in the war. That framer, Dan West, tried to use milk to feed these hungry people. And there was a continuous(持续的)need to feed people. This got him to think that what they needed was not a cup, but a cow.
In 1939, West went back to Indiana and decided to find ways to stop hunger. He thought about giving animals to the hungry people as a gift. Then they can feed and sell the animals for money. Only then could there be an end to hunger.
On Heifer international's website (//www.heifer.org), you will see a lot of animals you can buy to help those in need. But not just cows, goats, and pigs are for sale. You can also buy fish, or even honeybees! More importantly, you are not just buying an animal for one person. You are buying what can help at least 1000 families. Each gift could make a continuous change.
But Heifer International's work doesn't end there. They will work with communities(社区) until they don't need outside help. If everyone works together(一起), maybe hunger really can end.
Today, we use digital (电子的) equipment like cell phones and ipads all the time. We use them to listen to music, read news, play games and talk with friends and family. One recent study shows that 84%of cell phone users say they could not go a day with no phones. Another study shows that more than 50%of cell phone users have a look at their phones for messages even when there is no warning (提示) sound.
What if you put away your digital equipment for one day? You can try it on the US Unplugging (不插电) Day. It is on the second Friday of March each year. On this day, people don't use digital equipment for 24 hours.
Many people find this Unplugged day to be longer than most days. "Without my cell phone, my breakfast was too short and I didn't know what to do next," one person said after trying this day last year.
But others like the idea. "My friend and I had dinner in the evening... We could really hear what the other person was saying." another person said.
Unplugging can be difficult. But it also helps people slow down and think about their lives. At the end of the day, you may find that you don't miss your digital equipment that much.
Join us for the Unplugging Day and start a different life: say hello to the people in your street, neighborhood and city, have a nice meal with your family or read a book to your child.

Welcome to the town's greatest attraction — Adam Square!
Adam Square is right in the center of the town. It's on Adam Street. It's next to the WalMart Supermarket and across from the bank. There are lots of restaurants and coffee shops there.
You can walk around the shops or you can have a cup of coffee. Try one of the popular coffee shops such as Domino. For a good meal, go to Pate's Pizzeria. It's really good and not too expensive.
Why not visit Prince's Park? It's a good place for children. Take a number 32 bus to Market Square: you can buy fruit and vegetables there. If you like historic buildings, visit the Church of St. Nicholas.
Come to Adam Square by bike. And it's OK to come here on foot. But you can't drive in Adam Square because there're no places for parking. Or if you're rich, you can take a taxi.
It's a little far from the airport. It's about 40 minutes' walk. You can get here by bike in 20 minutes. But it will only take you 10 minutes to be here in a taxi
