I was a schoolgirl in Grade 7when Danny came to my school and became one of my classmates．He was handsome with blond hair．so many girls in my class liked him very much．Every day，his parents picked him up in an old car．We all realized he was from a poor family．I had a poor family as well，but I just hid it from everyone．I was afraid the kids in my class would leave me if they knew the truth．
One day，Our teacher，Mr．Sims，announced that we would have a field trip．We decided to go to an amusement park．My classmates were excited．I sat back and looked at them，knowing that my parents did not have the money to send me．To my surprise，Danny stood up and said simply，"I won't go with you，My dad hurt his back and lost his job．I am not asking my parents for money．"
"Danny，I'm very proud of you for understanding the situation that your parents are in．"Mr．Smis replied．"But the trip is at the end of the month，we have plenty of time to raise money for it．"While walking home from school that day，I noticed three boys talking with Danny．I was a little worried that they were giving him a hard time．But as I got closer，I found they were only discussing how to raise money for the trip．
By standing up and admitting（承认）he was poor，Danny changed my life．I no longer felt I had to lie about my family's situation．As for Danny，I will remember his courage and honesty forever．

In 1901，an Austrian scientist discovered that there are four types of blood．He named them A，B，AB，and O．People have one of these four types．Blood type O is the most common around the world．Blood type A is the second most common，and blood type AB is the least common．
In 1927，a Japanese doctor found that people with different blood types have different personalities（性格），too．He said that people with type A blood are usually calm and serious； people with type B blood are cheerful and outgoing； people with type O blood are generous（慷慨的）and honest； while those with type AB blood are often caring and creative．
More recently，a doctor in the United States wrote a book that connects blood types with what people eat．The book suggests people with type O blood should eat more meat and less bread，A diet for people with type A blood includes more vegetables，His book，Eat Right for your type，has been a hit with people who want to lose weight．However，Dr．Peter D'Adamo believes that eating food that matches a person's blood type will make the person healthier in other ways，too．
