Unforgettable ,

 My family and I decided to try to help the less for?tunate at Easter. It was last March and my brother, sister and I stayed home after yet another snowstorm. We dressed warmly and ran out of the house to collect money and canned goods.

 Some people slammed their doors in our faces and others told us they already donated at their churches. We still continued, though. To our surprise, the peo?ple who we expected to be the most generous weren't. The "well-to-do" gave little or nothing at all, while the poorest gave everything they could afford. In the first couple of hours, we raised $ 60 and during the follow?ing three days of going door to door, we collected about $ 1,000.

    We then went to the grocery store and bought rice, potatoes, macaroni (通心粉)and juice. After?wards we arranged the food and put it into 25 coloured laundry baskets, each also containing a three-pound ham.

 Finally, right before the holiday, my family and I made the deliveries(递送).As the people opened their doors and saw what we had brought? they were very happy. Big smiles on the once-sad faces were symbolic of how happy they truly were. Most of them replied, "Now we can have an Easter dinner."

 This event was very meaningful for my family and me. We learned to appreciate all we once took for granted. We also learned that to achieve a goal, hard work and patience are necessary. I strongly advocate that all get involved in some aspects of community service. It is surely an unforgettable experience !

Born in America in 1898, William was an extraordi?nary boy, gifted with an amazing IQ between 250 and 300. The genius went to a grammar school when he was only 6 years old and graduated just within 7 months. At the age of 11, he became the youngest student of the Harvard University. He graduated with high scores at the age of 16 and entered Harvard Law School at 18.

Gifted with an amazing IQ between 220 and 230, Ter?ence Tao makes it to this list of the people with the highest IQ in the world. Born in Adelaide, Australia in 1975, this genius first displayed his incredible intelligence at a mere age of 2 , when he managed to solve basic arithmetic ques?tions on his own. At the age of 16, he graduated with both Master's and Bachelor's degrees at the Flinders University. He has been considered as "Mr Fix it" by Charles Feffer-man, who is a professor of Mathematics at Princeton Uni?versity ,and many other mathematicians want to interest him in their problems.

At the age of 12, Christo?pher Hirata already worked on college-level courses, around the time most of us were just in the 7th grade.

At the age of 16, he was already working with NASA on its project to conquer planet Mars. After he was awarded the PhD at Princeton University, he went back to California Institute of Technology.

The next person with very high IQ is Albert Ein?stein. With an IQ between 160 and 190, Albert Einstein is the genius behind the theory of relativity, which has had a great impact on the world of science.
