17．Kendall Ciesemier is the founder of charity Kids Caring 4 Kids，an organization she created after seeing a show on the difficult situation of AIDS orphans （孤兒） in Africa．Ciesemier was inspired to try to change the lives of those affected by AIDS and to encourage other children to do the same．She tells us of the power her personal story has in showing others they too can make a difference．
You saw Oprah's show on AIDS orphans when you were 11-do you remember how you felt？
When I saw the show I was shocked．I had never heard of AIDS before and was concerned that kids were growing up without parents and no one had troubled to ask for my help．
I wanted to create a place for kids to get involved and a place where their small contributions would be valued and celebrated．I also felt that I needed to take immediate action myself．I found an orphan sponsorship （贊助） program online and an eight-year-old girl from Mauritania who needed my help．I started there and Kids Caring 4 Kids grew from that experience．
How has your own illness inspired you to help others？
Growing up with a rare liver （肝臟） disease made me feel different，which I think attracted me to others who were different and those struggling with something．I knew how I felt and I wanted to help reduce that feeling in someone else．I always wanted to support people．Growing up with an illness gave me empathy （移情） for others．
How does your own story inspire others？
My own personal story is evidence that people can give from anywhere．I started Kids Caring 4 Kids from a hospital room．I started by helping one person and it snowballed from there．When I share my story，I think that's what affects people the most-the fact that I started all of this during a time of personal struggle and weakness．If I could do that，then they can do something too．

15．Exercise is good for you，but most people really know very little about（61）howto exercise properly．So when you try，you（62）may/can/willrun into trouble．
Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised，the fat in the neighbouring area is"burned up"．Yet the truth is（63）thatexercise burns fat from all over the body．
Studies show muscles which are not exercised lose their strength very quickly．To regain it（64）needs（need） 48-72 hours and exercise every other day will keep a normal level of physical strength．
To lose weight you should always"work up a good sweat"when（65）exercising（exercise）．Sweating only reduces body temperature to prevent heating．This is nothing（66）butwater loss．

9．When my son，Justin，was four，he found a caterpillar （毛蟲(chóng)） and put it in a jar（罐子）．Each day he fed it with fresh grass and leaves．In a few weeks we discovered it （41）Bitself in a cocoon （繭）．
Justin was excited．He knew a moth （蛾） or butterfly was about to be（42）A，but he didn't know what kind．He was （43）Dto know what gift nature was about to give him．
"Dad!"shouted the boy while running to me one day．"Something's （44）B．Come see!"
He led me to his room．The cocoon had become half transparent（半透明的） and we could （45）Athe wings of the unborn．Soon，a moth broke free from the cocoon，and laid eggs completing the life（46）Cof the little caterpillar．
The next day，I convinced Justin it was time to set the moth free．He took it（47）D，opened the jar，and the little moth flew out．It（48）Cthe yard twice，came back，and landed on Justin's arm．He picked it up，tossed it in the air，and the moth repeated its（49）Apattern．He tried over and over，but each time it would（50）Dto his arm．
Justin（51）B．He put his little pet back to the jar．The next day he attempted to set it free again，and after a few repetitions of the same behavior，the moth（52）Cflew off into the grass．
Like a （53）A，I believe the moth was afraid to leave what it was comfortable with．It wanted to stay with something （54）D，scared to move on and experience something unknown．
I was once that little moth．My cocoon was my mother's（55）A，in which I was comfortable．Like the moth，I didn't want to fly too far away from it．I was （56）Cwhen my first job required me to move to a new city．What would I find there？I liked （57）BI was．

8．It was the golden season．I could see the yellow leaves  （41）Ain the cool（42）B．In such a season，I liked walking alone in the leaves，listening to the sound of them．Autumn is a （43）Dseason and life is uninteresting．The free days always make me （44）C．But one day，the sound of a violin（45）Binto my ears like a stream flowing in the mountains．I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was．A young girl，standing in the wind，was （46）Bin playing her violin．I had （47）Dseen her before．The music was so attractive that I listened quietly．Lost in the music，I didn't realize that I had been （48）Cthere for so long but my （49）Adid not seem to disturb her．Leaves were still falling．Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building．（50）CI went downstairs to watch her performance，I was the only audience．The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became （51）C．（52）Dwe didn't know each other，I thought we were already good friends．I believed she also liked me．Autumn was nearly over．One day，when I was listening devotedly，the sound suddenly stopped．To my  （53）A，the girl came over to me．
"You must like violin，"she said．
"Yes．And you play very well．Why did you stop？"I asked．
Suddenly，a （54）Aexpression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual．
"I came here to see my grandmother，but now I must leave．I once played very badly．It was your listening every day that （55）Cme．"she said．
"In fact，it was your playing （56）Cgave me a meaningful autumn．"I answered．"Let us be friends．"
The girl smiled and I smiled．
I never heard her play again in my life．I no longer went （57）Bto listen like before．Only thick leaves were left behind．But I will always remember the fine figure of the girl．She is like a goddess； so short，so bright，like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful．There are many kinds of friends．Some are always（58）Cyou，but don't understand you．Some say only a few words to you，but are close to you．Many people will step in your life，but only （59）Afriends leave footprints．
I shall always recall the autumn and the girl with the （60）D．She will always bring back the friendship between us．I know she will always be my best friend．
