Twelve years ago, Mr. Brown, a friend of my parents' went to Africa to help in a poor country.
One afternoon, Mr. Brown took a walk in a town. The town was destroyed(破坏) during a war. He saw something moving in the long grass and thought it was an animal. As he got closer, he found it was a baby boy. The boy got hurt a little. Mr. Brown asked a guide," Can we find his family?" The guide looked around and said," I don't think so. "Finally, Mr. Brown adopted (收养) the baby with the help of many friends. The next year, Mr. Brown took him back to America and gave him the name Liam
Liam isn't as big as the other kids, but he is a good student and he is on our school football team. Everyone in our school likes Liam. Whenever there is a need, he is always the first one to help out.
Last year, our school decided to sponsor ten poor children. We needed to raise money and sent it to them every month. Liam spent plenty of hours setting up the whole thing. In the end, we raised so much money that we were able to sponsor twenty children.
Do you know why Liam always works so hard? Because many people have worked hard to give him a chance in life.
Many people think it's important and good for health to wash the food before cooking it. However, for some food like eggs, washing can do more harm(害处).
People like to wash the shell(壳) before they cook the egg. They want to make sure there's no dirt or germs(细菌) on the egg. But they don't need to do this.
There is a coating on the shell of the egg. The coating can help keep the egg away from germs. When factories do the cleaning work, they wash away the coating and put a kind of special thing on the egg shell. It is there to keep germs from coming inside the egg.
"Of course there're germs on the egg, but by washing it, you make it worse. The egg shell is porous(可渗透的), " says health expert Amy Leigh Mercree."And this can happen more easily when you use cold water or running water.
"So don't wash eggs- save yourself some time and keep the germs where they are," Mercree says.
Two seeds(种子) lay in the soil(土壤).
The first seed said, " I want to grow to feel the warmth of the sun on my face and the beauty of the fresh dew(露水) on my flowers in the morning! I will make friends with other plants, and we can grow together." So she grew. Then she saw that the other seed did nothing. She asked, "①"
The other seed said," I am afraid. You know first I should go into the ground below, but I don't know what I'll meet in the dark. Second, before I open my flowers, I should push my way through the hard soil above me to be a strong plant, but I might hurt. At last, when I open my flowers, a child might pull me out of the ground. No, it is much better for me to wait until it's safe."
The first seed didn't know what to say. The second seed sat there still. A big hen was walking nearby and looking for food. She found the second seed and ate it.
Like this seed, if we don't try our best to grow, life may give us a lesson.
①Open flowers.
②Go into the ground deeply.
③Grow into a plant.
④Break the ground.
