It's every kid’s worst feeling and six-year-old Jaden has had it-twice. First he lost his dad when he was four and then last month his mom died unexpectedly in her sleep.

“ I tried and I tried and I tried to make her get up, but I couldn’t.” said Jaden Jaden was very sad all the time.

But there’s another side of his sadness, A side he first made public a few weeks ago when he told his aunt, Barbara Dicola, that he was sick and tired of seeing everyone sad all the time. And he made a plan to do something.

"And that was the beginning of it, said Barbara. “ That’s when the plan began.”

Jaden asked his aunt Barbara to buy a lot of little toys and bring him to downtown Savannah, Georgia near where he lives. There he gave away the little toys when he found anyone not happy

“ I’m trying to make people smile. I want to turn their unhappy days around.” said Jaden. He went around to look for unhappy people. And he expected nothing in return (回报) but a smile. How can people refuse a six-year-old boy’s gift and not give him a smile? So Jaden went out on different places and was very successful.

“ I’m counting on it to be 33, 000.” said Jaden. When asked if he thinks he can make that goal, he answered, “ I think I can. ”

Global warming is a big problem that we have to stop. One of the best things we can do is to plant more trees. Trees can take in carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the air and stop global warming.

According to a new report, China is doing a great job of "greening" the world.

A team of scientists at Boston University has been working with NASA to study Earth's green vegetation(植被). They used a special NASA camera and found that global leaf area has increased by 5 percent since the early 2000s. And China was responsible for 25 percent of that gain, according to the study. That's about one-quarter of the size of the entire Amazon rainforest.

The growth mainly came from China's forest protection programs, NASA said. For example, since 1962, China has been planting trees in Saihanba in Hebei province. It was once a desert. But now, China has turned the area into the country's largest man-made forest.

The Chinese public has also joined in these efforts. Ant Forest in the Alipay app gives users points for doing eco-friendly(环保的) things such as walking and going paperless in the office. Users can then use these points to water and grow their own virtual trees. When the virtual trees are big enough, Ant Forest will plant real trees somewhere in the world. More than 55 million trees have been planted in this way.
