A12-year-old Jo hn Thomas Robertson is a born train fan. "I’ve liked trains probably from the day I was born," he told Good Morning America. "When I was very little," he said, "my grandpa got me a train model. I would just watch it go round for hours and hours."When Robertson finally had the opportunity to ride on a train, he felt great. His journey was so mind-blowing that he couldn’t keep it to himself: he decided to take all his classmates to go on a ride with him. When he found that some of his classmates couldn’t pay the fare, he collected cans (罐子) and bottles and raised more than $1,000 for them. That trip was such a happy one that he made it a yearly action. "It never gets boring for some reason; it’s just fun," he said. "It really lets people get away fro m their busy life and have fun."Every October, Robertson takes a new group of children to ride on the train —but now, he has a problem. Several disabled children were refused because the train was not accessible (可用的) to disabled people. "He was angry to think that children of his own age couldn’t ride a train," his mother said.But he wouldn’t say no: he recently sent a letter to the train office for help. To his surprise, the leader, Ty Pennington, accepted the letter in person. He said that he and his workers would work on making a train accessible to disabled people.56.

It is very good for your health and also brings happiness to you. To be a successfulfruit-and-vegetable grower, check out these tips:●A family affair(事件)Get all family members to take part in growing. Children will learn where food comes from, and they may like to have their own little field.●Size doesn’t matterYou can work in any place you like, not just in a common vegetable garden. Grow fruit and vegetables in a window box, or use your flowerbed (花圃) to grow vegetables and beautiful flowers together.●The natural wayIf you want to grow foo ds organically, you can’t use sprays (喷剂) that would harm children, pets and wildlife. You should work with nature rather than against it.Growing your own food doesn’t take up too much time and costs little. A few seeds and some basic tools will be OK. Second-hand tools can often be both cheap and good to use.61.

It was my duty to help her get it done. One night she worked until midnight doing homework.I felt annoyed, but I didn’t want the teacher to think I was lazy, so I never complained.I wasn’t sure, but it seemed to me that five hours of homework was a bit too much for a fifth grade student.Later, I found out that parents and educators have discussed about homework for more than a century. Parents who like more homework want to give their children every advantage to succeed in today’s world. Some educators see homework as a way to help students perform better in tests.Other parents dislike the recent trend (趋势) toward more homework. They don’t want to stay up until midnight helping their children. They would prefer to spend their time going to the park or reading some really good books with their children. Added to the opposition are those who say that homework increases the gap (差距) between the rich and the poor, since middle class families do better when it comes to helping their children with their homework.So, who is right? Is homework an enemy or a help? According to experts the truth lies somewhere in the middle.66.
