8．In the summer between my first year and second year in college，I was invited to be an instructor （辅导员）at a high school camp．On the first day，when we were dancing and playing games，I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin．His shyness made him appear weak．I walked towards him，introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people．He quietly replied，"No，I really don't want to do this．"I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him，either．Actually，the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend．
At lunch the next day，I was leading camp songs when 1saw the boy under the tree sitting alone．I tried again with the same invitation，but he refused once again．That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy．Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could．
The days went by and the time came when we had to leave．We held a big，warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp．All the campers shared their wonderful moments．To my surprise.1found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls．I couldn't believe it was the same person．
In October of my second year，I received a phone call from Tommy's mother．She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed．I offered my deep sadness．The mother said："'Tommy mentioned you so many times．I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence．You made a difference for Tommy during his last months．"
At that moment，I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day．You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else．I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own"boy under the tree"．

    Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year．Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood-powered of coal-powered stoves．
    One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun．Crosby Menzies，a solar power expert in a South African company，described his latest solar cooker called the"Sol.4"，"It is four square meters of mirrors，six to eight meters in length．It is quite a large cooler．"
     The"Sol.4"works by reflecting （反射）light from the sun off large mirrors．The mirrors direct （把…对准）the light at a cooking pan．Then the light heats the pan with solar energy．Within two minutes，the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions．In just four minutes，water can be boiled．That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity．
    The cooker is also much"friendlier"than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it．And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal．Such individuals  would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke．
    At present，the cooker only works when the sun is shining．But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight．
    Each cooker costs about $2000，which is a large amount of money for most Africans．To solve that problem，Crosby Menzies has crated a non-governmental organization called solar Cookers for Africa．It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment．

2．Leon was a postman．Every day Leon would wake up and feed his 37 cats．Leon didn't really want 37cats，but one by one they had appeared on his doorstep，and Leon had taken them in．
Every day，after feeding the cats，Leon would collect the mail from the red postboxes in the village and take it home．"If only I had 37helpers instead of 37cats，my job would be so much easier，"Leon thought．Just then，the cats started meowing for their dinner．That gave Leon an idea．That night，Leon worked late making 37cat-sized postal backpacks．Then，he went around to each postbox，putting up signs that read：Postbox closed!Please use the postal cat service．
The next day，Leon put a backpack on each cat and dropped off the cats around the village．Leon knew that the cats would be happy walking around all day．He also knew that they would always come home for dinner．Leon spent the day relaxing，waiting for his helpers to return．Leon was right．The cats did return，but they did not bring home many letters．Some got the letters wet．Some bit off the corners of the letters．Some even lost their backpacks．""Cats are just too unreliable（不可靠的），"Leon thought．

1．"I will think of it．"It is easy to say this，but do you know what great things have come from thinking？

Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden when he saw an apple fall from a tree．He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell．Then he discovered how the sun，moon，and stars are kept in their places．
A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire，watching the lid of the kettle move up and down．He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid．From that time he went on thinking and thinking．And when he became a man，he improved the steam engine （蒸汽机） so much that it could easily do the work of many horses．
James Ferguson was a poor boy．Once，seeing the inside of a watch，he wondered．"Why should I not make a watch？"But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring （钟表的主发条）？He soon found he could make it with whalebone （鲸骨）．He then made a wooden clock which kept good time．His motto （座右铭） was"I will think of it．"And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world．
Boys and girls，when you have a difficult lesson to learn，don't lose heart，and don't ask someone for help before helping yourselves．Think，and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose．
