　　In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip(點滴)above her to fight her bone cancer．Over her bald(禿的)head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes．But the third grader's cheery dressing didn't mask her pain and weary eyes．

　　Then a visitor showed up．“Do you want to write a song? ” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers．Simran stared．“Have you ever written a poem? ” Anita Kruse continued．“Well, yes, ” Simran said．

　　Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone．“Some bird soaring through the sky, ” she said softly．“Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling(鳴, 唱)birds, and finally the girl's voice．Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song．

　　That was the beginning of Anita Kruse's project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs．As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”．

　　The effect on the kids has been great．One teenage girl, curling(蜷縮)in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written．A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin's disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It．

　　“My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the badness of their illnesses, ” says Anita Kruse．“But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families．”

　　Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free．From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour．

     In many western schools, sports day is a big event. Children take part in competitive (競爭性的)
sports, trying to break school records and take the first place.
     Sports days, or sports meets, are usually held in the warmer seasons, either at the beginning or the
end of the school year. They are also called field days.
     Primary school sports days are fun. They usually have activities such as the egg and the spoon race
and the sack race. Other events include the skipping race (跳繩) and the three-legged race. In middle
and high schools, sports days include many of the common track and field events (田徑項目).  They
are more serious and competitive than primary school ones.
     Students' parents and other relatives also come to the  school on sports days. They watch children
play. Many schools in the West have "mothers and fathers" races for parents to take part in!
     Although sports days are exciting, they also have some problems. According to some reports in the
USA, sports days have become too competitive to be good for students. Some parents put too much
pressure(壓力) on the children. Some schools don't have "mothers and fathers" races any more as there
is much fighting and cheating.
