At a nation’s saddest moment, its greatest heroes are born.

      On September 11th, 2001, many police officers and government officials in America worked day and night to save lives from the big fire at the World Trade Centre. And in Japan, after the serious earthquake, a group of workers showed their courage.

      The earthquake on March 11th made Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant(福岛核电站) turn off and stop its protective cooling systems. And later, a fire broke out.  Workers were told that the plant’s radiation(辐射) could be harmful to human health. Hundreds of workers left the plant quickly. However, a group of workers decided to fight against the fire and the damage, though they knew it could cause very serious health problems. There were 50 workers in all, so they were also named the "Fukushima 50". The workers worked in shifts(轮班).

      People knew little about the workers, who were mainly experts (专家) with the skills to control the situation. One woman said that her father had volunteered to stay there. "I heard that he volunteered even though he would retire(退休) in just half a year and my eyes were filled with tears. I am really proud of him. And I pray for his safe return.

       When an earthquake hit a small town, many houses fell down. After the earthquake，all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.

       One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touches(触动)me. It suggested everyone should give something helpful to the people in the earthquake. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan. "We have so much, and these poor people now have nothing. We'll share what we have with them.”

       I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and give away some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly when the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy, her much-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. "Oh, dear,” I said. “You don't have to give Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan said, “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she'll make another little girl happy, too.”

       I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It's easy to give something that we don't  want any more，but harder to give what we cherish(珍爱), isn’t it?
