When Hanley Fort was six, she saw a person who was homeless standing on

The street in her town. She wanted to help him, so she and her mom gave the man a sandwich and a bottle of water.

    Hailey kept thinking about the man and what it was like to be hungry. She knew that fresh fruits and vegetables often aren't available (可获得的) at food banks, where homeless people may get canned or boxed food. Hailey had an idea. "There was a garden in our backyard, and we weren't using it, "she said. “I asked my mom if I could use that garden to grow food for the homeless.”

    Now, several years later, Hailey's garden has provided many people with strawberries, blueberries, peas, tomatoes, and other fresh food. When food is ready to harvest (收获), Hailey picks, washes, and bags it. Then she and her mom give the bags to people on the street or to a local food bank. Hailey has given away more than 550 pounds of fruits and vegetables so far!

    While handing out food, Hailey and her mom often see people more than once. They lean their names and talk with people about what it's like to be homeless. Last week, when Hailey found out that people without homes didn't always have safe or comfortable places to sleep, she thought of a new project-building a shelter.

    With the help of her mom, Hailey built a shelter big enough for a person to sleep in. It has walls, windows, a roof, a locking door, a solar light, and curtains made by her sister, Josie. Hailey's family is now working with local groups to find a good place to park the shelter for someone in need.

    Hailey has learned a lot since she gave away her first sandwich. She has also leaned to see people who are homeless as individuals (个体). To help others, she says, "Start small. You can always grow over the years.

    It was summer. Martina wanted to go camping with her friends, but her parents wanted her to learn a foreign language. They let her decide which language to learn.

    Martina looked at the catalog(目录), "I will learn Icelandic (冰岛语）, "she said.

    Her parent were angry. " Ieclandic is a useless language!" they said. "No one speak Icelandic!

    "But you said I could make my own decision, "Martina said.

    She had to stay at home every day and study Icelandic. "When you fish your homework you can go to play, "her mother said. "And don't forget to listen to your language CD. "Her mother was strict with her because of her choice.

    But even if she finished her homework there was no one to play with, because all her friends were away at summer camp. She was alone. She couldn't stand it.

    The house was very hot. Martina studied hard. She was not lazy. She did several pages of homework every day. She listened to her language CD. One day, she got tired of the CD and turned on the radio.

    A quiz(智力竞赛)show was on. The prize was a trip to Iceland. "How many vowels（元音）does the Icelandic language have?" asked the announcer(播音员).

    Martina knew the answer! She quickly called the radio station. "The Icelandic language has 14 vowel, "she said "That is right!" said the announcer, "You win a trip to Iceland for you and your family. "

    Martina's parents were very surprised. Martina was so happy. She was going on a trip this summer after all. Suddenly, Icelandic was a very useful language.

    It is the day of Big Bang's concert in Seoul Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium. In front of the stadium, there are lots of rice towers from over 60 countries. The staff members(工作人员) are putting ribbons(丝带), photos and messages from fans(迷) around the rice towers to make them more beautiful. What's happening at the concert?

    Fan rice, usually in bags, is rice from fans. Fans of Korean pop (K-pop) stars give bags of rice to their favorite artists. Then, the artists donate(捐赠) the bags to the hungry. This started in 2011. Before that, fans usually sent food or flowers to their favorite stars. Now, more and more fan clubs are making these donations. They do this to show their love and support for their favorite stars.

    There are even businesses that buy and deliver(递送) bags of rice for fans. They buy rice from South Korean farmers. And then they make sure the rice is at places of the K-pop concerts. It is common that staff members in the business spend hours setting up towers with the bags of rice. A businessman who does this says that more and more fans are donating rice, and sales have grown very fast.
