This Thursday, across the US, kids are going to work with their parents instead of going to school. They can help their parents do some cleaning, send e-mails and deal with other daily things. Because April 28 is Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day all over the US. This holiday shows kids what it means to be a grown-up in the working world.

I still remember when this day started, I was very happy. Not only did I have the chance to leave the school, but I also could sit in my dad’s taxi all day long and we would go to a restaurant for lunch.

I couldn’t read my book in the car as I would get carsick(晕车) and my dad didn’t like to turn on the radio. I got hot and uncomfortable. People wouldn’t get into his taxi because they thought he already had a passenger: me—so nothing happened. It seemed years before we went out for lunch. In fact, I started to miss the school.

Although the purpose of the day is to give kids a chance to experience possible jobs in their futures, I got something completely different from the day. I learned to value school life. Where else can you play with your friends, do science experiments, read great books and write stories all in one day?

Just like you’ll have to learn to love your job later, learn to love school now. If you don’t, try spending the day at work with your dad.

As we all know, blood is very important to people.However, there isn 't always enough blood for people’s use. So giving blood seems necessary.

81-year-old James Harrison, also known as the man with the golden arm, not only has given his blood, but also has been doing that for about 60 years! When Harrison was young, he was in hospital for a few months.The blood he received saved his life so he decided to give blood.

Recently he has just stopped doing that. During the past few years, he has saved the lives of more than 2.4 million babies by giving his blood. Harrison 's blood contains something special that can be used to develop medicine to prevent unborn babies from dying of blood diseases.

In fact, a number of newborn babies are easy to get some kinds of blood diseases. Just because of Harrison, many new mothers can see the hope of saving their babies. Giving blood is a kind of great charity. Harrison is always glad and ready to do it. But now he has passed the age limit (年龄限制) for donors to continue giving blood in Australia. Harrison has made his 1,173rd and final donation recently.

He holds Guinness World Records for the number of donations he made, and the Australian Red Cross Blood Service said, “ As a blood donor, his kindness leaves us a lot of treasure and changes lives of many babies.”
