A few weeks ago, a friend from an unknown Smile Groups sent me $120 to do good things. Since then I have used the money in the US. It has helped families and strangers and generally raise a lot of smiles. They have warmed my heart, but none was so much as the gift I was able to give an hour ago.

I was in a charity shop, looking at the second-hand books. It happened that the bookshelves were next to the toy shelf. I noticed a group of poorly dressed women standing behind me. As they looked through the cloth shelf, a little girl about three years old came over to the shelf. Immediately her attention was caught by a toy pram(手推车). She spoke to her mother and she asked the shop assistant how much it cost. $3 was the answer.

The mum looked down at her child, perhaps thinking what she still had to buy and how much money she has left. Then she shook her head. The child did not behave (表现)as badly as some might. Being told “no” was not new for her but she could not keep the disappointment (失望的)from her face.

I had a total of $ 5 in my pocket. I touched the mother on the shoulder, put the money in her hand and said, “Buy her a doll, too”.

I did not wait to see the end. After all, it was not about being thanked. I walked out of the shop and into the sunshine.

The money the friend gave me was to help me find happiness of the world. Was there any better way, I wondered, to get so much happiness for so little money than to buy a little girl a toy and a doll to sit in it?

Mails, games, music, news, chat rooms and shopping! The Interent is part of our life today. It’s easy to get onto the Internet.

My sister Alli and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette butts(烟蒂) for seven years.

One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. 1.

They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts. We called it “No Butts About It!”

At first, we drew pictures with “The Earth Is Not Your Ashtray(烟灰缸)” written on them. We put the pictures around our hometown—in parks, by beaches, and along roads.

We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts does harm to the environment. Most smokers don’t think that dropping butts harms the earth. 2.

Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays to give smokers.

We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn’t have to drop butts.

At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. 3.

Many people have started to join our group since it began4.And there are even groups in England, Australia and India!

Many newspapers have written about my sister and I over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for our good work.

5.We just want to make the earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people.

One day it will be.

When you wave to a friend, you are using body language. When you smile at someone you mean to be friendly. When you put one finger in front of your mouth, you mean “be quiet.”

Yet, people in different countries may use different body languages.

Once an Englishman was in Italy. He could speak little Italian. One day while he was walking in the street, he felt hungry and went into a restaurant. When the waiter came, the Englishman opened his mouth, put his fingers into it and took them out again and moved his lips. In this way, he meant to say, “ Bring me something to eat.” But the waiter brought him a lot of things to drink,

first tea, then coffee then milk, but no food.

The Englishman was sorry that he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry. He was ready to leave the restaurant when another man came in. The man put his hands on his stomach, and this body language was good enough for the waiter. In a few minutes, the waiter brought him a large plate of bread and meat.

Finally the Englishman had his meal in the same way.
