Every year, villagers come together to celebrate the harvest of yams, an important part in the people's diet in Vanuatu. The festival is most famous for its “land diving ceremony”.

【题目】In 1971 a young man who grew up very poor was traveling across the country,trying to make a new start for himself. Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car.

This continued until one morning,after a week of sleeping in his car,he walked nervously into a diner and ordered a big breakfast. After eating his first good meal in weeks,he found himself lying to the waiter,telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter,who was also the owner,walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting.

He bent down,and took out a $20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor. “Son,you must have dropped this,” the owner said. The young man couldn't believe his ear! He quickly paid for the breakfast,left a tip,bought gas with the bill,and headed West.

On the way out of town,he understood. “Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. Maybe that owner just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn't embarrass(使困窘) me. I'd been praying for a few days before that,and right then I just made an engagement.I said,‘If ever I have a chance to help other people,I will do it.’”

Now older,the man lives in Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars. He is known as the “Secret Santa(圣诞老人),” because at Christmas time each year,he personally hands money out to those on the street,and at diners. Last year,he gave more than $50,000 away in Kansas City.

【题目】I was first introduced to Puppies Behind Bars (PBB) when I watched a special on Animal Planet. This non-profit organization is the brainchild of Gloria Gilbert Stoga, a kind-hearted woman from New York PBB is a program in which specially-selected prisoners from prisons are trained in the preparation of puppies to become service dogs for the handicapped(残疾人), or police dogs to serve police forces.

My wife and I were so moved when we watched the program. It is a win-win situation at all points. First, it makes a prisoner, who may never have the chance to be released, go back to the community by joining in this program and offering every minute of every day working, loving, and training a puppy for future service. It is difficult for them, but they realize the importance of this program. In addition, most of them have the chance ( for the first time in their lives) to experience warm love through an animal.

Second, the program saves tens of thousands of dollars that it would cost to train these dogs through traditional ways. All donations to the program are used to buy dog food, training supplies, and veterinary care.

Finally, our society benefits from service dogs which can protect people from danger, search and rescue humans after a serious disaster, or become the lifeline for a handicapped person. The last of these goes far beyond the fact that dogs can open.

Fridges, answer the phone or do a dozen other daily tasks. They give a sense of freedom back to a person who has had it taken away by illness, accident, or warfare.

Because of this we have given a lot of monetary support of this meaningful program.
