Jeff Keith has only one leg. When he was 12 years old, Jeff had cancer. The doctors had to cut off most of his right leg to save his life. Every day Jeff puts on a man-made leg. The leg is plastic. With the plastic leg, Jeff can ski, ride a bicycle, swim and play soccer. He can also run.
When he was 22 years old, Jeff ran across the United States, from the East to the West. He ran 5,150 kilometers. That’s about 26 kilometers each day. Jeff wore out 36 pairs of running shoes and five plastic legs.
On his way, in every city people gave Jeff money. The money which Jeff received was not for Jeff himself. It was for the American Cancer Society(协会). The society used the money to learn more about cancer. At the same time, Jeff talked to people about cancer. He also talked about being disabled.
Jeff is disabled, but he can do many things: skiing, swimming, playing soccer and running. He finished college and now he is studying to be a lawyer(律师). Jeff says, “People can do anything they want to do. I want people to know that. I ran not only for disabled people but also for everybody.”

    Apple’s logo is one of the most familiar icons(图标) around the world. But what’s the story about the Apple logo? The image of the apple is obvious, because that’s the name of the company. What about the bite? The famous story is that the logo shows respect and honour for Alan Turing. He was the father of computer science. He researched artificial intelligence(人工智能) and unlocked German wartime codes(密码). However,after the war, he was put into prison,because of his beliefs. He could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned apple to end his life in the prison.
However, Rob Janoff, who designed the famous Apple logo, said, “It’s not the truth, but only a legend(传说, 传奇). The real reason why I designed it with a bite is very simple. I wanted people to get that it was an apple not a cherry (樱桃). When I go to markets to buy apples, I always mistake apples for cherries. It really has nothing to do with the scientist.”
Are you kidding? An apple is much bigger than a cherry. It’s very easy to tell. But if you use an apple to design a logo, some people may mistake it for a cherry.
