Vivienne Harr wants to make the world a better place for all kids. She sells lemonade(柠檬饮 料)to help children around the world.

At the age of 8, Vivienne saw a photo of two young boys carrying large, heavy rocks on their backs. These children were the same age as Vivienne, but they did not have the same freedom and opportunities(机会).

In some parts of the world, children are made to work hard long days. They earn(赚钱)little or no pay. They do not go to school. Vivienne wants to make a difference in this. “I want all kids to be able to play and happy,” Vivienne, now 10, says.

To help raise money for children like the two boys in the photo, Vivienne set up a lemonade stand(摊位)near her home in Marin County, California. She decided to work every day for a year, rain or shine. “Sometimes, it was hard for me, when the weather was bad or I wasn’t feeling well,”

Vivienne says, “but I knew that other kids were having a harder time than I was at that very moment.”

Vivienne wanted to raise $100,000 in 365 days. On day 175, she passed her goal(目标). But that didn’t stop Vivienne from working. With her family, she started Make a Stand, Inc. The company now bottles Vivienne’s lemonade and sells it in 130 stores around the country. A high percentage of sales go to help Vivienne’s dream of making the world a better place for all children.

Have you ever watched a film with your friends and thought, “How wonderful!” or had a meal with your family and said, “That’s was the best!”?

Well, there may be a small secret(秘密)about why you enjoyed it so much. Our experiences are stronger if we share them with someone. That means good experiences become better, and bad ones become worse. That’s according to a new study by Yale University.

Scientists did a small study on female(女性)college students. In the test they share chocolate with someone they thought was another participant(参与者). But in fact, it was a scientist. In each test, they got two pieces of chocolate. They ate one piece at the same time with the “participant” and the other piece alone. The participants thought the chocolate was tastier and more enjoyable when they shared it with someone. Even though both pieces of chocolate were from the same box.

Scientists then did another experiment, this time with bitter, unpleasant chocolate. Again, the participants thought the chocolate was bitterer than the piece they ate alone.

“When people think of shared experience, what usually comes to mind is being with friends or Family.” said scientist Erica Boothby. “We often don’t know how much people around us influence (影响)our decisions.” according to Erica.

However, it does show that sharing things with a friend may just make your good way a little brighter. Because the study only looked at female college students, it doesn’t mean the whole (全 部的)picture.
