Alice and her brother, Peter, saved money for many years. One day, they broke their money jar and decided to help other people.

“Who will we help?” Peter asked Alice. “Let’s help our neighbors, Billy and his twin sister, Rose. I’ve found that their shoes are too old. We can buy two pairs of shoes for them.” Alice said.

Alice and Peter went shopping at once. They picked out two nice pairs of shoes and put them into two beautiful boxes. When it was dark, Peter walked to Billy and Rose’s house quietly. He put the boxes near the door, knocked hard, and then ran away quickly.

A mother in Australia was told by a doctor that her new born son was dead but she helped to bring him back to life by holding the baby against her body. She used a method known as a kangaroo care. The child, named Jamie ,was born after only 27 weeks with his twin sister, Emily, in a hospital in Sydney. Her birth went well ,but his was a different story. The doctor struggled for 20 minutes to save Jamie before announcing him dead.

“His little arms and legs were just falling down away from his body.” Kate Ogg said ,“I took off my coat and put him on my chest with his head over my arm.” She and her husband, David ,said to the child as she continued to hold him for nearly 2 hours. During that time, the two-pound baby showed the sign of life. She said , “I told my mum ,who was there, that he was still alive. Then he held out his hand and grabbed my finger. ”Their tiny baby grew stronger and stronger in his mother’s arms, and their final goodbye turned into a hello.

The doctor at first ignored the baby’s movements, but when he put the stethoscope（听诊器）to his chest, his mouth was wide open and he said ,“It’s my fault, It’s a miracle( 奇迹).
