Have you ever not wanted to do something so badly? Well,that’s how I about joining Madcaps,a mothers and daughters’club assisting charity. ,my feeling changed finally. Now I believe if you adopt an attitude.you might just enjoying it.

Six months ago,my mom told me the club asked us to work as at Saint Vincent de Paul Homeless shelter.That meant I had to in the dirty homeless shelter for at least 20 hours.

The first lime we went there,a lady led us to the kitchen where we my five fellow Madcaps classmates- they also wore the same mark .Since I′m usually awkward, I had never talked with any of them .Worse still,my mom was asked to help outside the kitchen,leaving me totally to serve food with them. Soon large numbers of homeless families in like rushing river.A little girl,around 5 years old,walked up to me I her a sandwich. She took it and joined her family quickly.As she walked away, I she was wearing a coat.Clearly too big for her, hanging on her thin body, and couldn’t help thinking how much I had with her.It suddenly struck me that how I am.

After that moment I had a of heart Now I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting I have awkwardness when communicating and have many friends. And this year I am sure I will do more than the 20 hours of charity.

So that is how I have made a by doing one thing I do not want to do .If you have an open about things you can accomplish more and become a well-rounded(全面的)person.

Ashok Gadgil has spent the past three decades helping people in need—and he has no plans to stop .On May 2, Gadgil won the$100.000 Lemelson-MIT Award for Global Innovation. Each year,the honor is given to an inventor who has improved the lives of people in developing countries. Gadgil‘s inventions have helped more than 100 million people around the world.

Gadgil is a professor and physicist at the University of California. When he’s not teaching,he works to find solutions to global problems such as energy efficiency and water safety. “I chose to focus on problems where my knowledge of science could help,”he said

In the 1980s he came up with a program to make energy-efficient light bulbs more affordable for people in developing countries. Then in the 1990s,Gadgil designed his first life—saving invention,UV Waterworks .The device kills deadly disease —carrying germs(病菌)from drinking water. It costs just one cent to clean five liters of water .Gadgil was inspired to find an inexpensive solution to the clean water crisis after more than 10,000 people in his home country of India died from an outbreak of Bengal cholera,in 1993 The disease is spread through contaminated food and drinking water .So far,the invention has provided safe drinking water to more than five million people in poor areas.

As a professor,Gadgil encourages his students to stay positive about finding solutions to hard problems.“Be optimistic when you try a hard problem.”he says. “It’s when you solve a large problem that you can have a big impact on the world”

Global warming happens when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a hot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows,but it can’t get back out. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth .The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it can’t get out As a result,the temperature rises.

Sometimes the temperature can change in a way that helps us. The greenhouse effect makes the earth appropriate for people to live on Without it,the earth would be freezing,or it would be burning hot. It would be freezing at night because we would not get the sun’s heat and light .During the day, especially during the summer, it would be burning because the sun would be up with no atmosphere to filter(过滤)it,so people,plants,and animals would be exposed to all the light and heat.

Although the greenhouse effect makes the earth able to have people living on it,if there gets to be too many gases,the each can get unusually warmer, and many plants,animals.and people will die. Plants would die because they would not be able to take the heat .This would cause us to have less food to eat, and it would also limit the food that animals have. With less food for the animals that we need to survive we would even have less food. Gradually, people,plants,and animals would all die of hunger.

People are doing many things to try to stop global warming .One thing is carpooling—driving with someone to a place that you are both going to. Another thing is being more careful about leaving electrical devices turned on. Now, more people are even riding buses or bikes to lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the air .Although adults do many things to help stop global warming, kids call do just as much.
