The book taught me that they2to move through their sadness, not away from it Then, in our living room, I got a chair and3dolls of Lizzie's on it, so she could play with them and told them everything would be all right Zack's sadness was in the4of anger He needed to move, so we filled our calendar with basketball games After school, I watched him through the window as he played basketball hard alone He jumped until he could not catch his5
Each day, I watched for their sadness and 6 I was not ready for their joy.
It came after my husband took them to the cemetery (墓地) Six weeks after Brendan's death, it was good that things went different when they came back home I waited to7 Lizzie When she jumped out of the car, her eyes were full of8 , not sadness She said, "I showed Brendan wheels for my toy cars." I was surprised She said, "I finally did a good one I wanted to 9him."
Zack and Lizzie taught me to feel joy They knew how to stay in the moment, 10 it was happy or sad We do have moments of happiness It comes in the memories we share and the love we still feel.

Renewable energy is the energy that can be used again and again The sun and the earth are sources(来源) ofrenewable energy Here is some information about it.
Kinds | Facts |
Solar Energy | ⒈ Two kinds: active solar energy and passive solar energy. ⒉ To get active solar energy, we use special technology; to get passive solar energy, we do not use equipment. ⒊ We can't always get sunshine so sometimes we can't use this kind of energy alone. |
Energy from Earth | ⒈ The center of the earth is more than 6,000℃. ⒉ Hot water from underground is used to heat houses and other buildings. ⒊ Almost 90 percent of people in Iceland use it as energy. |
Energy from plants | ⒈ Plants create energy from the sun and it is stored in the plants even after they die. ⒉ We get energy in this way by burning plants. ⒊ It can also be made into fuel (燃料) It can power buses This kind of energy does less harm to the environment than gas. |
Water Energy | ⒈ It is made by running water in large dams, such as the Three Gorges Dam in China. ⒉ It is inexpensive We can always depend on it, because water always keeps running and the dam does not depend on the weather and time of day. |
A soccer player, Carson Pickett, was born without a left forearm She didn't have a role model when she was growing up There was no one who looked like her to look up to, she said
When she met 2-year-old Joseph Salvatore, she became the role model that she always wanted Joseph was born without a left forearm as well, just like her That has given Pickett and the little boy a special relationship.
"Truly within five minutes of meeting him, we had aconnection," Pickett said That surprised her because Joseph was so young "It was fantastic to me that it felt like he realized why we were connected," she said.
Pickett met Joseph for the first time in April after a match At that time, the player welcomed Joseph and showed him her arm He raised his with a bright smile Then, both of them were excited and felt like they were old friends.
Joseph's mother, Colleen Salvatore, took the picture, which caught this happy and meaningful moment She put it on the Internet and the photo quickly went hot.
Joseph's parents have said that their son sees himself in this kind soccer player Pickett said it went both ways "I know I might be seen as his role model, but he's also mine," Pickett said Joseph understands her "in a way other people can't," she said "It's just a gift and pictures mean a lot," Pickett went on, "Hopefully when he gets older, he can see that and feel even more of what it means "
Now, she wants Joseph and others like him to know one thing The lesson is "Even if people see you as different, you should have confidence and do what you think it is right."
Should Students Wear Uniforms?
Some schools have a rule saying thatstudents must wear uniforms to class Now, uniforms have become more common inpublic schools Many schools say uniforms catch students' attention in class Butsome students think uniforms are uncomfortable Should students wear uniforms?
Our magazine asked readers to weigh Theyhave different ideas and here, two of them share their ideas on it.
•YES!
Yuna Chong, 9, California
Uniforms are as much about safety as theyare about a sense of group Teachers don't have to worry about losing sight ofstudents at the playground or on a field trip Also, when kids wear uniforms,they feel like they are part of the same group I wear a uniform and feel likemy school is one big team I feel included.
Also, when everyone wears the same, you don'thave to worry about how you look Parents can save money as well! And in themorning, I can save time because I don't have to think too much about myclothing.
•No!
Sterling Heights,12, Michigan
I don't think kids should have to wearuniforms If students are wearing the same thing, they can't show themselves Kidsshould feel like they can be their own person They shouldn't have to match Duringschool hours, we should also be comfortable.
If we feel uncomfortable in our uniforms,we can't learn very well For many, it can't be more uncomfortable to be in auniform all day Next, parents have to go shopping and spend a lot of money onthe uniforms that we never wear at home.
What is your idea about it? Do you wearuniforms when you go to school every day? Write to our students' magazine andvoice your idea!

Some people are buying sports shoes that look like a piece of avocado bread.
The shoemaker, Saucony, has created this new kind of sports shoes The sports shoes have brown lines around the bottom It's meant to look like a piece of bread On top of the brown is a green part The sports shoes also include the color of red, which is on the shoes' opening to make it more like a real piece of avocado bread.
The sports shoes cost $130 and that is a lot more expensive than a piece of avocado bread However, shoes fans are eating them up By February 27, most were gone on Saucony's website Out of the 17 sizes, 11 were sold out Only 1,200 pairs were made, said Saucony spokesman Jason Faustino
Besides, food companies have also made sports shoes too In 2018, Pizza Hut created a new kind of sports shoes which could use Bluetooth to connect to the Internet In this way, customers could order pizza easily.
Saucony probably won't make much money from the new shoes However, many people are noticing As a result, the sports shoes and the company are drawing buyers' attention and this is the most important thing.
