Addyson is an 8﹣year﹣old girl from Kansas． Maurine is a 9﹣year﹣old girl from a village called Bartabwa in Kenya． It might not seem as if the girls have much in common， but when they met at a dinner two years ago， in Kansas， they became friends at once．
The dinner was hosted by the group World Vision International． In some parts of the world， people must walk several miles each day to collect water from a stream（小溪） or another water source． Often， the water is polluted． World Vision builds wells（井） and rain catchers in these communities．
Addyson was at the dinner because her family supports World Vision． Maurine was there because her village had been without clean water． World Vision solved that by building a water station there． Addyson was influenced by Maurine． "People helped Maurine so she could have clean water，and kids are dying because the don't have it，" Addyson says． "Addyson says． "I want to help．"
Races are one way World Vision raises money to pay for its water projects． Runners promise to run a race， often a 26﹣mile marathon or 13﹣mile half marathon． They ask people to support them by giving away to World Vision．
Addyson decided to run the 2017 Knasa City Half Marathon for World Vision．She'd raised ＄20，000． She's the youngest person in World Vision history to raise more than ＄10，000． In 2018， she ran again﹣﹣﹣﹣and raised ＄36，000．
Addyson and Maurine still keep in touch． Last year， Maurine returned to the U．S． and they met up in Chicago． But Addyson's work is not finished． "My purpose is for every kid to have clean water，" she says．

Learning a new language is hard． In recent research， scientists found that your
chances of reaching fluency（流利） in a new language drop off at the age of 10． Does that mean you should give up your French class if you are older than 10？ No!
The research found that it's "nearly impossible" to reach fluency if you start learning a language after age 10． That's not because your language sills start to get worse． "You're still learning fast，" says Joshua． "It's just because your ability to learn starts dropping at around 10 or 11 years old．"
The researchers say people who try to learn a new language after 10 may still become quite good． But they will probably not become fluent． Kids may better than adults at learning new languages for many reasons． One is that children's brains are more adaptable（能适应的） than adults' brains． This means they are better able to change． Kids may also would like to try new things． And adults may depend on the rules of their first language． But kids are able to accept a new language without them．

When he was nine years old，an American bey called Milo Cress had a question：How many plastic straws（吸管）do Americans use every day？
