Born in a fishing village in Japan, Fujiyama, 25, recalls a childhood dominated 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,.” 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 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 building houses. While Fujiyama spends his summers in Honduras working alongside volunteers, he spends a large portion 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 eco-friendly sanitation system and a library.
【小题1】 At the beginning of his organization, ________.

A．Fujiyama was supported by many friends	B．things didn’t go on smoothly
C．Fujiyama had little idea of Honduras	D．many famous people joined in

Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 21 part of the learning process. But all too often 22 parents and teachers we disallow this same right to our children.

When I see a child 23 from this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie.

Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His 24 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 25 answered questions--- he was afraid he might be wrong. I tried my best to build his 26 . But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, all 27 her very much.

One morning, we were working on maths problems at the chalk-board. Donnie had 28 the problems with pains-taking tidiness. Pleased with his progress, I 29 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in 30 . He’d missed the third problem.

My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face 31 . From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils.

“Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently 32 the tear-stained(弄脏的) face from his arms. “ I’ve got something to 33 you.” She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.

“See these 34 , Donnie,” she continued. “ They belong to Mrs. Lindstorm and me. See how the erasers are 35 . That’s because we make mistakes too. But, we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you 36 learn to do, too.

She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one of these pencils on 37 desk so you’ll remember that everyone makes mistakes, 38 teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.

The 39 became Donnie’s prized possession. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement, gradually 40 him that it’s all right to make mistakes--- as long as you erase them and try again.
