题目内容

Born in a fishing village in Japan，Fujiyama, 25，recalls a childhood dominated（受控的） by health concerns．Doctors told his parents that he had a hole in his heart and “they didn’t think I had a lot longer to live”．But during a later visit to the doctor，his family learned the hole had closed．“Somehow I was cured and I became a normal kid，” Fujiyama says．“And I had a second chance．”

During his second year at the University of Mary Washington，he volunteered in Honduras with a campus group and was struck by the extreme poverty he saw—barefoot children collecting cans and sleeping in the streets．Fujiyama realized he could help give other children their own second chance．

Today，his organization，Students Helping Honduras，brings education and community projects to children and families in need．

He started by telling his friends about his experience and collecting spare change at his two campus jobs．“When I had my very first meeting，only two people showed up，”he says．“I knew I had to keep fighting．”He persuaded his younger sister，Cosmo，to join the cause．“She’s dynamite(会引起轰动的人)，”he says．“When she talks in front of a crowd，she can move mountains．Knowing that she was behind it，I knew I could do anything．”Since 2006，the siblings’ organization has grown to 25 campuses（大学校园） and raised more than $750,000 to fund projects，including the construction of two schools and the establishment of scholarships to help young women attend college．

Fujiyama says students are deeply committed to the organization．They raise money and then travel to Honduras to help build houses．While Fujiyama spends his summers in Honduras working alongside volunteers，he spends a large portion（一部分） of the year on the road visiting colleges to raise funds．Cosmo Fujiyama,23，lives in Honduras full time to coordinate (协调) the group’s building efforts on the ground．

Students Helping Honduras is working with community members of Siete de Abril to build a new village．Many of the families lost their belongings in Hurricane Mitch in 1998．A lot of them didn’t have access to clean water or health care，and they didn’t have a school．Fujiyama’s group helped build 44 homes in the village named “Sunshine Village”．The organization is also raising funds to build a water tower，an ecofriendly sanitation system and a library．

I came across with an old man in rags the other day, he was begging for a living. To be frank, I didn’t know how I ought to give him some money. On the one hand, I am not born in a rich family. On the other hand, old as the man was, he was in good health. In most people’s opinion, he should be able to earn her living instead of be a beggar.

His first fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa. Then, as the first black president he fought to unite the country and organize the government. Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS.

On March 19 the 82-year-old, former president, hosted his second AIDS-awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease.

Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted (收养) by the chief of his tribe (部族) and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life.

But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination ( 种族歧视). He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the country’s Racial Segregation Law (种族隔离法), colored and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.

For his opposition (反对) to the system Mandela was arrested (被捕) and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and become the president of the country after the first elections were held in which everyone could vote.

Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer (拳击手) and fought in the ring when he was young.

“ Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one’s body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat (撤退),” he wrote in his autobiography.

As a skillful fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS. He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.
