Bobby, his brother and his mother were once again abandoned(抛弃) by his father. When times got hard, the man left home. Bobby wasnt surprised. He must take the responsibility for caring for his family.He put on the warmest clothes he had and pulled on his old socks and torn shoes. After thinking of a way to keep his feet dry, he went outside looking for work.Coming across some men working on the road, he joined in and worked hard for hours. Suddenly, rain poured down. “Go home and get out of this weather,” the men shouted, giving him a few coins.Bobby used the money to buy as much food as he could afford in the nearest store. While holding a small bag of food ,Bobby stopped to adjust(调整) the thick paper in his shoes.A man, who was a member of the Salvation Army, saw Bobbys problem. He bought Bobby a new pair of shoes.I wasnt there on that cold day. But Ive heard the story many times and can always imagine my father, as a child, dancing and wearing a pair of new shoes home.Several years later, Bobby joined the navy. He continued to support his family and meanwhile worked for the Salvation Army so that another little boy somewhere might receive a new pair of shoes for Christmas.The tradition lasted until my father became too ill.

An apple provides many health benefits.Research shows apples contain antioxidants(抗氧化剂) that lower the risk of heart disease and cancer.Researchers from Cornell University in New York found that eating just 100 grams of apples gives you antioxidants equal to taking 1,500 mg of vitamin C. Studies also show antioxidants in apples help reduce the risk of some diseases. In addition, apples contain pectin(果胶), which helps to lower cholesterol(胆固醇).Fresh apples have traditionally been given to treat constipation (a kind of disease) because they help digestion while cooked apples bring relief to people with diseases in their stomachs. In addition, apples can help people with aging issues by promoting hair growth. And, because apples act like a natural toothbrush, eating them fresh will help clean your teeth.Many people like to eat apples because they can help with weight loss. Apples are low in calories and fat but high in fiber, which gives you that satiated feeling.They even help reduce stress. University studies have shown that students who eat apples often have fewer headaches, colds and stress-related illnesses. Other studies have shown that apples, and especially their skins, contain a lot of cancer-fighting nutrientsso be sure to eat the whole thing.Where did this nutritious fruit come from? Some researchers think early apples came from Kazakhstan where wild apples trees still grow in large forests. Other possibilities are the mountains in southwest Asia and also northern Europe. Evidence shows that people have been enjoying apples since at least 6,500 BC. Today 7,500 different kinds of apples grow throughout the world.The next time you bite into an apple, remember apples are more than just mouthwatering. They also keep you healthy.

That is the name of a very popular song about winter. Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song in 1934.But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time. It is cold outside.The wind blows and makes it even colder. The days are shorter and darker. The sun rarely shines. The leaves on the trees are brown or have fallen to the ground. The flowers are mostly gone. It is not surprising that some people are sad in winter. And some people dream about being somewhere else where it is warm and prettylike the state of California.
