the planning committee for a oneday cycling event called “tour de cure”. its sponsored by the ada and the profits(利润) of this event are used for diabetes research and program funding.while i was talking to people about our “tour de cure” event in downtown denver one day, i met a young boy wearing a red hat from oklahoma named jack. i think he was 1011 years old. it was the jar of red rubber wrist bands (the american diabetes association diabetes awareness wrist bands) that caught jacks eye. these are the bands we give out to people who have diabetes, who have a family member who has diabetes or to those people who know someone who has diabetes.people wear these for a variety of reasons: in memory of a loved one, to promote diabetes awareness and to show support for people who have diabetes. jack walked towards me eyeing the jar and then he said, “can i have one of those？” so, i replied to jack, “do you have someone in your family who has diabetes？” jack said, “no, but i know someone who has diabetes.” so i gave him one to wear for his friend.then, jack began looking at our “tour de cure” photo album. when jack had finished and was about to go, he looked up at me and said, “would you take a donation？” i was surprised to hear this from a 1011yearold boy, but i said, “yes.” i took the lid of our donation container off as jack was reaching into his pocket. his hand came out clinched around the donation he was about to make. it was my impression that what he had in his hand was everything he had in his pocket, as he did not count it. after jack dropped his donation into the container, i gave him a highfive, as i so often do to acknowledge an accomplishment or an appreciation. i also gave him a handshake before he parted. after jack left, i counted his gift$3.00. i then realized that he gave all he had, without counting the cost.the heart of a child made me smile that day. thank you, jack.文章大意：我在为美国糖尿病协会作志愿者时，一个名叫杰克的小孩的善心捐赠深深感动了我。56what attracted

fish that lives in mangrove swamps(红树沼泽) across the americas can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted (适应)to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.the mangrove rivulus, a type of small killifish, lives in small pools of water in a certain type of empty nut or even old beer cans in the mangrove swamps of belize, the united states and brazil. when their living place dries up, they live on the land in logs (圆木), said scott taylor，a researcher at the brevard endangered lands program in florida.the fish ，whose scientific name is rivulus marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches. they group together in logs and breathe air through their skin until they can find water again.the new scientific discovery came after a trip to belize.“we kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out，”taylor told reuters in neighboring guatemala by telephone. he said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an american magazine early next year.in lab tests, taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating.some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time.the walking catfish found in southeast asia can stay on land for hours at a time, while lungfish found in australia, africa and south america can live ont of water，but only in an inactive state. but no other known fish can be out of water as long as the mangrove rivulus and remain active, according to patricia wright, a biologist at canadas university of guelph.further studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time.“these animals live in conditions similar to those that existed millions of years ago ，when animals began making the transition (过渡) from water onto land, ”wright
