17．It was the culture.rather than the language. made it hard for him to adapt to the new environ——青夏教育精英家教网—

12．About two weeks earlier，I received a bundle of letters and drawings in the mail from a boy．The covering letters read：
"To the pancreatic（胰腺的）cancer team at Columbia Presbyterian
My name is Adam Abramowitz．I am a 5th grader at Seely Place Elementary School in Edgemont，NY．Over the past few years I have had many fundraisers to raise money to donate to pancreatic cancer research at your hospital．I hope to stop this disease．Today I am sending you letters that were written by my class and me．These were made to share with your patients to brighten their day．"
The 13 cards included drawings of flowers，messages of hope and love，and jokes to brighten the patients'days．Normally，it is rare for someone in 5th grade to step outside him/herself and help those in need．I quickly learned，Adam is not your normal kid．
His story starts at the age of 6．His cousins had recently showed him how to weave potholders（防烫套垫）．Adam's grandfather works in the field of pancreatic cancer and would often tell Adam how dangerous the disease was and how little was understood about pancreatic cancer compared to the other major cancers．Adam saw this hobby as an opportunity to make some money and donate it to pancreatic cancer research．After weaving several problems，he sold them door-to-door around his neighborhood，often times hitting the same houses multiple times．And then Adam started to consider what was popular with kids of his age．This led him to start selling bracelets（手镯），using the weaving techniques he used for the potholders．He stood outside of his local train station，selling bracelets to people．Adam once set up a carnival-like game to attract potential donors．With the help pf his father，Adam built his own website，www．endpc．net，selling the potholders and bracelets to help the battle against pancreatic cancer．
