    Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Manitoba, Canada. One day, when she was five years old, she was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg. They saw a man eating out of a garbage can. She asked her mother why he did that, and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry. Hannah was very 1. She couldn't understand why some people had to live their lives without shelter or enough food. Hannah started to think about how she could 2, but of course, there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve the problem of homelessness.

    Later, when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was a woman 3 an old shopping trolley (购物车) which was piled with bags. It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them. This made Hannah very sad, and even more 4 to do something. She had been talking to her mother about the lives of homeless people since they first saw the homeless man. Her mother told her that if she did something to change the problem that made her sad, she wouldn't feel as bad.

    Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness in Manitoba and then in other provinces. She hoped to 5 her message of hope and awareness. She started the Ladybug Foundation, an organization aiming at getting rid of homelessness. She began to host "Big Bosses" lunches where she would try to persuade local business leaders to 6 to the cause. She also organized a fund raising drive in "Ladybug Jars" to collect everyone's spare change during "Make Change" month. More recently, the foundation began another activity called National Red Scarf Day—a day when people donate $20 and wear red scarves in support of Canada's hungry and homeless.

    There is an emergency shelter in Winnipeg called "Hannah's Place", something that she is very 7 of. Hannah Places is divided into several areas, providing shelter for people when it's so cold that sleeping outdoors can mean death. In the more than five years since Hannah began her activities, she has received a lot of 8. For example, she received the 2007 BRICK Award recognizing the 9 of young people to change the world. But through all this, Hannah still has the life of a Winnipeg school girl, except that she pays regular visits to homeless people.

    Hannah is one of many examples of young people who are making a 10 in the world. You can, too!

Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You don't want to work, you stay in bed, feeling very sad.

What makes us ill? It is germs(细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can't find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope. They are very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing. Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.

Germs aren't found only in water. They are found in air and dust. If you cut your finger, if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut(伤口), some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red, and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs would go into all of your body, and you would have pain everywhere.
