According to a Walmart employee, a woman had paid a part of Ayers bill after seeing her shopping in the store. The unknown woman also left Ayers a touching note, which left the mother of two in tears.Ayers, whose sons are 11 and 3, says the strangers great generosity came at the perfect time for her family. Before the anonymous payment was made, Ayers had worried she would not be able to get her kids toys in time for Christmas.Ayers is still looking for the woman who helped pay for their Christmas gifts for her kids. She took a picture of her receipt with the headline: This stranger paid 4 gifts for us. I wish I could thank her for helping give our kids a Merry Christmas!For thousands of families like Ayers, feeling this financial pressure around Christmastime is nothing new. These families who still have a roof over their heads and food on their tables often slip through the cracks they can afford all the necessities, but the “extras” are harder to come by. Considering that Americans are estimated to spend $882 on Christmas gifts this year, it makes sense that a family with a few financial problems would have a hard time filling the stockings for their kids.Realizing how common this Christmas problem really is makes Ayers story even more special.

Between You & Me.C NASA on September 28, 2015 announced the strongest evidence yet for liquid water on the red planet, increasing the possibility that astronauts journeying to Mars could someday rely on the planets own water for their drinking needs. You may feel like youve heard about the hunt for liquid water on Mars beforeand the researchers involved know it may seem played out. But science has yet to truly prove that water flows on Mars once and for all, and doing so could completely change the way we view the planet. This new data is a big step in the right direction. Liquid water is an attractive topic, and we like the thousandth time someone has discovered water on Mars, Lujendra Ojha, the Georgia Tech PhD candidate who led the research announced Monday, told The Post. But theres a good reason that liquid water is so attractive: Mars is now the only planet in our solar system to show evidence of the stuff on its surface, other than our own. Other worlds have it in subsurface oceans, or scattered around as vapor in the atmosphere. But Mars is the only place where we have solid evidence for liquid that sits right there in the open air. While it would be a major leap to suggest that Mars might harbor lifeeven microbial lifeliquid water at least makes it possible that parts of the planet are habitable. The study builds on research from April, when scientists using data from the Curiosity rover noted that the planet had the seasonal potential for liquid water. We know that because of the extremely low pressure on Mars, water has a boiling point of just a few degrees Celsius, after which it evaporates. The April study noted the presence of perchlorates (高氯酸盐) a kind of saltwhich could make the boiling point of Mars water much higher, theoretically allowing it to remain liquid. They affirmed that the planets temperature would be right for liquid, perchlorate-filled water to form every day during winter and spring. 28. What does the Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. The significance of the discovery. B. The doubt of the discovery. C. The difficulty of the discovery. D. The expense of the discovery.29. The underlined words our own in Paragraph 3 refer to _. A. MarsB. the earth C. liquid waterD. the solar system30. What plays an important role in making Mars water in the state of liquid? A. The thick atmosphere around Mars. B. The physical structure of Mars. C. The extremely low pressure on Mars. D. Perchlorates in Mars water.31. The best title for the passage can be _. A. Water on Mars could be used for dringking B. There might be some kinds of life on Mars C. NASA would send astronauts to journey to Mars D. NASA confirms the best-ever evidence for water on MarsDSoft winds blew throughout the Windy City today. We welcomed the winds, as it was another hot day in Chicago. The wind blew, bringing us some coolness and making the weather not that hot. But it was a beautiful summer day with a blue sky.Chicago is a great city for eating, and we have enjoyed tasting the different foods. Last night, we tried one of the citys most famous foods: deep-dish pizza. Chicago claims credit for the rich and cheesy thick-crust pizza, covered with a sweet tomato sauce. We topped it with olives and green peppers.We were touring the city, mainly looking for delicious local foods. Today, we enjoyed a Polish specialty at lunch: Pierogis, an Eastern European dumpling-like dish, filled with foods like potatoes, cheese, mushrooms, cabbage and meat. Polish immigrants started settling in Chicago in the 1850s, and the city has one of the largest Polish communities in the U.S. We took a break from exploring the city to talk with some of you!

We spoke to an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan, and a graduate student in India.Meanwhile, Adam searched for some locations around the city to shoot some video.

In fact, the view made all of us head over heels!Our time in Chicago has come to an end. Tomorrow, the true journey begins, as we pass through Illinois and into Missouri via Route 66.
