Smile Train is a charity (慈善团体) that helps the millions of children around the world, who suffer from a facial defect (缺陷). The defect happens when a baby's top lip or mouth doesn't form properly before birth. Eating and drinking is very difficult for these babies. The charity provides free operations, which give these children a new smile, and with it, new hope and a new beginning.
Children with the defect need all the help. Although many sufferers are accepted by their families, sadly, others are not. In some countries, children with this defect are often abandoned at birth because their parents feel ashamed of them or cannot afford the operations. The good news is that the operation is not hard. It takes less than an hour and costs family nothing. The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations.
A Smile Train doctor from the UK said, "Each child who has the operation is given a second chance at life. After years of staying at home, the children can finally go to school and be happy. Every year I perform hundreds of operations free of cost through Smile Train, Some of the stories I have heard are quite surprising. One newborn baby girl was found abandoned on a train. Luckily for her, she was found and adopted (收养) by a passenger. This lady then heard about Smile Train and brought the baby to our hospital. I did the operation and gave hope to the family. Experienced doctors like me share our skills with local doctors. In this way, we make sure that these operations will always be available. "
We all know that getting the flu is not fun. There are headaches, coughs, fevers, and other terrible feelings. To help us feel better, we take some medicine and get much rest. We drink lots of water and eat healthy food to make us feel better.
However, some people don't want to get sick at all. So, they get a flu shot before the flu season starts. The flu shot is in fact, a vaccine (疫苗)，not usual cold medicine. It will protect them from the flu.
The vaccine introduces some of the flu into the body. But don't worry. The flu is dead and won't make you sick. It will teach your body to know it and fight it off in the future, though.
Vaccines not only protect you but also protect others. That's because they help stop diseases from spreading (扩散) from person to person. When fewer people have the diseases, the chances of getting them go down. Sometimes, the diseases completely go away.
Even though vaccines are quite safe, some adults are afraid of them. Their worry is that the vaccines will cause serious side effects (副作用). Vaccines might cause side effects, but they are usually not as terrible as people think. For most people, vaccines are▲and make them better.
So, they are believable and people want them in their bodies. These days, people are in line for the new flu vaccines and hope they can protect them well!
B Vaccines do something bad in our bodies.
C. People with vaccines never get any diseases.D. Vaccines can drive all diseases from our bodies.Getting started
How many machines does your family own? What machines do you use every day? Can you live a life without machines?
Let's read
When I was a boy, we had a tiny television set. Although it only had one channel, I would always be in my chair when cartoons came on.
The one I liked best was The Jetsons (《杰森一家》), a cartoon full of fantastic machines that could do anything. I always smiled or even laughed when I watched it and dreamed that one day I would have machines like this to do all my work, so I could just sit back and relax.
Now my life is full of machines like these, ▲ . Just today I had to spend most of the morning downloading a new copy of my word list so I could write better. When I first started out, I wrote my stories online. Last week, I spent most of another morning trying to get my new coffee maker to work right. I seem to be swimming in a sea of new rules and problems that come with "new technology".
Now don't get me wrong. Computers and machines have done a lot to help all of us. I just want us to be able to use them without them using us. We always seem to be busy because we're spending most of our time using these machines.
I hope that in the future, machines can be more user-friendly so we needn't spend all our time on them. With machines, we can live an easier life, but they can never take the place of the time to spend with family and friends.
