My grandmother Mary was a gardening artist. There was a fruit tree in the yard. Mary 1 it, but it didn't grow any fruit. Mary studied all she could find about the fruit tree, hoping to make her tree blossom（开花）. She talked to the tree and sang to it, but nothing2 .
Mary had to call the California Department of Agriculture（农业）and explained her3 to a worker there. She took notes of his every word and decided to follow his 4 carefully. However, the worker told her to hit the bottom（底部）of the tree to stimulate its roots（刺激根部）. She felt surprised, and didn't believe that it would5 grow fruit. But she did hit the tree with a stick every day.
To her surprise, the next spring, the tree grew some fruit. And each year it became much 6 .We enjoyed the harvest and even shared the7 with our neighbors. Mary's story brought great8 to our family and often made us laugh.
A few months before her death, I had a hard time and I was9 and unhappy. Mary told me that the tree's greatest strength（力量）came after difficulty. "Your roots will be stimulated by your personal difficulties," she said. "You will be a more fruitful 'tree' because of them."
Mary was not only an amazing gardener but also a(n)10 grandma.
Kids run in the mud. They climb over walls. They carry heavy things. About twelve thousand kids from 4 to 14 years old took part in the Spartan Kids Race（斯巴达勇士儿童赛）in the World Park in Beijing on October 3.
The Spartan Race is named after the Spartans from ancient Greece（古希腊）. The Spartans were great soldiers（战士）. They were very strong and good at fighting.
The first Spartan Kids Race in Beijing was held in 2017. Both kids and their parents loved it."Doing this can help them become braver and get better at working out problems," said the organizer of the race.
"One task was to cross the mud pool. I couldn't find a way at first," said Wu Taiji, a 10-year-old boy from Beijing. "But when I saw another kid cross it by diving, I found my own way to do it."
Mr Su, father of a 5-year-old girl, said his daughter enjoyed the race. "Usually, she doesn't like getting dirty. But she didn't care about it this time."
Rita was tired from basketball practice, and she had to study for the next day's Maths test. But she had to take care of her little sister Molly. And it was a headache for her!
Molly didn't want to wash her face or her hands before going to bed, but Mum had said that doing so was a rule. What could Rita do? Surely she shouldn't just let the child go to bed dirty.Maybe she could force（强迫）her, because she was much stronger than Molly. "But this is the last thing I'd like to do. There must be a better way to do my job," thought Rita. Then she got an idea.
Rita went into the kitchen to get what she needed. Then she ran after Molly around the living room and caught her. Rita carried her sister into the bathroom. Molly looked at the sink（洗脸盆）full of water and started shouting.
"Do you want to learn magic?" Rita asked. She put blue and red food colouring into the water."If you put your hands in the sink, you can turn the water purple."
Molly opened her mouth to shout, then closed it and looked at the swirls（漩涡）of colour.Finally, she put her hands into the swirls of colour and the water turned purple.
"Can I wash my face now, too?" asked Molly.
"Sure," said Rita.
Ten minutes later, a tired but clean little girl was asleep in her bedroom and a tired babysitter（保姆）was opening her Maths book.
As a junior firefighter, Brett Saunders wants to stop house fires. The 13-year-old gives smoke alarms (烟雾报警器) to students at local schools. He says, "it makes me feel good knowing that I could save lives." When Brett was seven, a terrible house fire happened in his town. "One of my best friends died in it," Brett says, "His name was Michael."
When planning his birthday party, Brett thought of Michael and the firefighters who put out the fire. Instead of asking for birthday presents, he decided to ask his friends to donate (捐赠) money to the fire department (消防局).
With their support, Brett raised $250. The fire department got the donation and suggested using the money to buy smoke alarms for students at Brett's school. "I don't want a fire to happen to anyone else. So why don't we give out smoke alarms so we can help stop that? Brett explains."
During Fire Prevention Week, Brett helped firefighters hand out 620 smoke alarms at his school. Since then, he has continued his project with the help of others. He gave smoke alarms to new students at his school and students at two other schools.
Every time he hands out a smoke alarm, Brett remembers Michael. I think about all the people I have helped because of him, he says.
Brett has distributed (分发) nearly 1,500 smoke alarms so far. "If you have the chance to do something nice, do it, because you never know-it could save a life," he says. "And it just builds a better world."
