Michael is a college art teacher in California on a normal day． But on the 15th of each month， Michael takes his old﹣fashioned sewing machine（缝纫机）to one of the poorest neighborhoods in San Francisco．
For almost 15 years， Michael has made this trip． But why would he ever do this？ His only purpose is to help others in the area， where many people are poor or homeless． He sets up a shop on a corner of a street and offers his services as a tailor（裁缝）for free． He is there to sew and mend any clothing people bring him．

Michael's hard work is a great example of doing something positive with whatever talent you have． This is a living example of a well﹣known saying， "Do what you can， with what you have， where you are．"

There are millions of recipes（菜谱） hidden in the boxes and hearts of grandmother and parents． These family recipes are a special part of our family history． Some of them have been passed down from generation（一代人） to generation．
"I realized I couldn't go home every weekend for my mom's delicious dishes，" says Shreya， who is about to enter university．Shreya has recently started following her mother around the kitchen，taking notes on how to make her "masala chai" and tasty kachoris．
"Those special tastes can immediately unlock a whole flood of emotions， memories and feelings of family， love， and comfort，" says she．
She adds， "I am looking to the day when my kids will come to know of their grandmothers through the dishes they cooked．"
But many of us find it difficult to keep the food connection with our busy life．Even if we have time，not many of us take the effort to collect and record the recipes from our grandmothers and parents． We often get a recipe on the phone and take it down quickly on a piece of paper．We just stick it onto the fridge for a week or two and forget about it as soon as the paper disappears from there．
Actually，there are simple ways to keep family recipes，Scrapbooks（剪贴薄）are easily found in the market． You can even add photos to record every detail of your memories about the recipe．With the help of some popular apps like Story Scans， recording family recipes has never been easier．What is needed is to scan（扫描） the recipes and record the story behind each of them． It can become the most meaningful work you have ever done with and for your family．
Keeping family recipes is saving and honoring our tradition so that future generations can continue to make family ties stronger． Every time you remember your loved ones， recreate one of the dishes from your collection and let the memories from the good old days comfort you． So why not gift your kids a family recipe book when they are starting a new life？

A Day at the Nature Center
Emma stared（凝视） sadly out of the window of the bus． Only 50 miles outside town was the farm． She thought about the farm all the time， especially the animals．

"I know that when animals are frightened or excited， you have to stay calm．"
The keeper nodded in agreement and asked Emma，"Would you be interested in volunteering to help out with the animals at the center？"

Blue Lightning
Sally loved cars more than anything else． This spring she thought of building a go﹣kart to enter for the Go﹣Go Race． So she asked her dad for help．
"Well，" he said． "How about this： you do some research first and then come back to me with a design．"
A week later， Sally brought her notes and drawings to Dad． She named her go﹣kart "Blue Lightning"． Dad looked over her work， thinking． "Well， that's interesting，" he said． "Have a try． Just build Blue Lightning as you've designed．"
Over three weekends of hard work， Sally turned her design into a real， working go﹣kart and painted it light blue． Dad asked her to take it for a test drive． Sally agreed．
After she did that， Sally drove back to Dad． "Well，" she said． "Now I know why you wanted me to have a test drive．"
"Oh， do you？" he said． "Please share．"
"When I drove fast， there was a lot of pushback，" she said． "I think it's because of the lightning bolt （闪电） shape．"
"Very good!" Dad said．
"So， why didn't you tell me about that problem in the first place？" Sally asked．
Dad laughed． "Where's the fun in that？ If you give a man a fish， he'll eat for a day． But if you teach a man to fish， he'll eat for a lifetime．"
Sally said， "I see． Anyway， designing is half the fun !"
Dad smiled． "Good． Sometimes， learning happens during the process． We learn how to do something right by doing it a few times first and making mistakes along the way．"

A Beautiful Moment
When I was in high school．I worked part﹣time helping Dad sell fruits and vegetables at a market． One day，as I was preparing the fruits，a little boy came by with his mom and sister． He was about eight years old，and the girl，five or six． They were looking the fruits in front of me． I heard the kids say to their mom in French，"They're good!" I knew it was French，because I can speak and understand it．
Then I noticed how the mom was picking the fruits．At first I thought she was really looking at the fruits because she was facing them． But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out． And she often asked her son if it looked okay， but looked way above where his face was． Putting what I saw together，I was sure she was blind．
Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits．The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad， and the daughter handed them to her mom． The woman then felt each one and smiled， and the daughter would put them into their basket．The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out．
Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before．It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help． Most kids that age would be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves， instead of helping their mom pick out fruits as the two kids did．
It was great to witness the moment， but not so great because I didn't tell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language．this is what I regret to this day．

From the Other Side

The Sixth Time I Went to the Principal's Office
When I was in the seventh grade，I had problems behaving．My heart was in the right place，but I couldn't always follow the rules．I played many tricks
on my schoolmates．Once，I even pulled a girl's hair on the school bus to get her attention．As a result，I was repeatedly sent to the office of the principal（校长）．Although I hated going there，I did not hate the principal，Mr．Ratcliff．
Mr．Ratcliff was a kind，elderly man．When he spanked（ 打屁股） me for putting some ants into a
classmate's pencil box，it didn't hurt at all，but it did hurt my feelings．I thought so much of him and
moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad．
When I got called to Mr．Ratcliff's office for the sixth time，I had no idea what I had done．I
felt disappointed as I walked down there．I went into his office，sat down，and looked at the floor．Then he said the last thing I expected to hear："Kevin，I've heard you've been behaving really well lately．I
want you to know how proud I am of you，and I just called you down to my office to give you a
peppermint．"
"Really？"I was surprised．
"Yes．Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class．"
I carried the peppermint with me as if it was a gold coin．When I got into my classroom，I bragged （ 吹嘘） to my classmates about my turnaround，excitedly．I wasn't so bad after all．
Mr．Ratcliff was really kind．He made me realize that I was just a kid who had problems with behavior．He bought some peppermints and took the time to notice me when I got something﹣anything﹣right．Mr．Ratcliff gave me some hope by giving me some love．I will just remember him for the rest of my life．

In the past， I thought I was terrible at many things， such as math， French and science． Although I was good at drawing， I wasn't the best in my art class．I wanted to find out who I was，what I liked and how I could do it better．So， that winter，I took a notebook and kept my diary． When I filled that notebook，I started another one， and then another．
Keeping a diary helps a lot． Studies have shown that people who keep a diary sleep and feel better． It helps people remember what once happened such as dreams， friendships and happiness． Writing about bad feelings can also help brains get over themand move on． Personally， I learn better about myself and my relationships with others by keeping a diary．For example，when I am fighting with my dad， I'll try writing from his point and it works! If I want to compare myself with my classmates．I'll write something like，"I might not have clear skin， but I like my eyes．"
Right about now， you might be thinking： it sounds great， but I'm not a good writer； or I'd love to keep a diary， but my handwriting is terrible． Don't worry! Keeping a diary is not like doing your homework ﹣there are no rules， so do whatever feels best．
