Last weekends, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car. My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 1 other people’s cars as well. It was pretty 2outside and I had no plans to 3 to be in the bright sun. She 4 wanted to give lemonade(柠檬汽水)to passersby for free. I had seen little kids 5 and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free. Although I felt 6 , I decided to help her.7she asked me, “What if we 8 this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and 9 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with 10 ideas. While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a(n) 11 with beautiful images of smiles. They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the 12of their exercise was “smile”. It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the 13 to do something for others.
All that seemed 14 and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to 15 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to 16 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional 17 to help clean cars. The passersby were 18 and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused. A pretty heartwarming 19! I feel blessed by being 20 by such wonderful and loving souls.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A line of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes marched across the South on Friday, peeling away roofs, overturning cars and killing at least 11 people in Tennessee, officials said.
It was the second wave of violent weather to hit the state in less than a week. Last weekend, tornadoes killed 24 people in the western part of the state and destroyed more than 1,000 homes and buildings.
The storms crossed an area from northern Mississippi to northern Virginia as they moved to the northeast late Friday after developing from a low-pressure system in the central Plains.
The Nashville suburbs were the hardest hit, with at least eight deaths happening northeast of the city. Three more people were killed in a rural area about 65 miles southeast of Nashville.
Tornadoes were also reported in some other places. The storms pulled up trees, knocked down power lines and damaged buildings. What’s worse, phone lines and most businesses were out of service. Hospitals admitted at least 60 people with storm-related injuries and transferred at least nine badly injured patients to Nashville hospitals.
In southern Indiana, the storms damaged some areas with golf ball-sized hail. High winds blew the roof off a country club and overthrew a semitrailer(拖车). As the storms moved farther east, parts of West Virginia were lashed with heavy rain and winds, great damages caused.
The number of tornadoes in the US has jumped through the first part of 2006 compared with the past few years. Through the end of March, an estimated 286 tornadoes had hit the US, compared with an average of 70 for the same three-month period in each of the past three years.
The number of tornado-related deaths was 38 before Friday's storms. The average number of deaths from 2003 to 2005 was 45 a year, the prediction center said.
