Washington is home to lots of trees — it is the Evergreen State, after all — and it has lots of fireplaces and wood-burning heaters too. But what if you lived there and couldn't cut wood or couldn't afford to pay someone to do it? Luckily, Shane McDaniel and his twin sons, Harrison and Henry McDaniel, are happy to help. The three men cut truckloads of wood, then give it to those in need.

The idea actually started as a father-son relationship project, Shane told msn.com. "I cut wood with my dad. He just loved doing it," said Shane. He wanted to pass along that feeling, so he and the twins spent the summer cutting. The result was a great wall of wood piled up (堆积) around their house. To buy that much it would cost about $10,000.

It was too much for the McDaniels to use themselves, and when the weather turned cold that November, Shane started thinking of others. He posted online: "If you are in need of firewood (柴火) and cannot afford it, please personal message me! If you know someone who burns wood, please help me and my boys make sure no one goes cold in our neighborhood."

The response was immediate. One man offered to donate a wood-burning stove. Others raced over to Shane's house with more wood. One woman, noticing the photo of the McDaniels, started to feel warm in other ways: "I don't need the wood. But I am truly happy for what you have done!"

Single mom Katelyn Ticer, 29, and her four-year-old daughter depended on a wood-burning stove as their only way of heat, so it was so good to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDaniels. "To get that much wood brought me to tears," she told msn.com. "So much stress and worry is off my shoulders. I couldn't be more thankful."

Shane is ready to help more people. "Giving is the reward," he said. "It has nothing to do with how well it's received; it's about how much it's needed."

My 16-year-old daughter, Lin, had always been a happy girl, full of smile. She would come home every day, sharing with us stories of her new experiences, her friends and the fun news of high school life. But now, she became quiet and unhappy.

My husband and I realized something was wrong, but we decided to wait until she was ready to share something with us. However, that night, it was different. She was lost in thought(陷入沉思). After the meal, my husband and I decided to break the silence. I said: "Lin, you seemed worried lately. Is everything okay at school? You know you can share everything with us."

Lin was frustrated (沮丧的) and hopeless. "Mom, I'm really not good at math. No matter how hard I try. I couldn't understand it a little bit. I feel so lost." she said, with her voice trembling（颤抖） slightly. Then I held her hand and tried to offer comfort, saying: "High school is a big step, and it's okay to take some time to adjust (调整). " My husband cut in(插嘴), "We can get over the problem. Remember, we are always here for you." Then we offered her some practical advice.

School is a place where a child learns to succeed. When you go to a new school, you might worry that you don't know anyone. You worry that you might get lost, or the teachers are strict. Here are some ways to help you adjust to a new school.

Getting to Know the School

Before you start the school, go with your parents to visit the school.

Preparing for the First Day

Start your first day of school with a good night's sleep. Being well rested will help remove (去除) any nervousness you may feel. Try to get at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep if you're between 7 and 11 years old.

Leave early for school.

Make sure you set aside enough time in the morning to get to school. Arriving early may also give you a chance to chat with a few other students and hopefully make a few new friends.

Take part in activities. Sign up for activities like sports or chess. This will get you into small groups with people who have the same interests as yours. You might even be able to teach some other kids about how to do something.
 

A. Making Friends

B. But adjusting to a new school can be difficult.

C. You don't want to rush into your classroom after the bell rings.

D. Find out where your classroom is, as well as other important places.

E. This will also give you a chance to show your skills at a sport or other activities.

F. Learning the rules of the school will help you adjust to it and will keep you out of trouble.

G. Go shopping for your supplies (日用品) and make sure you have them all ready to take to school.

However, both leaving leftovers out for a long period of time and adding hot items to the fridge can cause problems.

Whether you should immediately put food in the fridge or let it sit out to cool depends on its temperature. Dangerous bacterial (细菌的) growth happens between 41 and 135 degrees F. Potentially harmful bacteria grows most rapidly at these temperatures.

Placing lots of hot food in the fridge can raise the temperature of the fridge into this danger zone. Fridge temperatures should always be set below 40 degrees F. This may help the food get out of the danger zone as fast as possible.

However, there's no harm in putting hot food directly into the fridge if you need to. If you are a forgetful person, or if you won't be around to store the food after it has cooled enough, go ahead and put it in the fridge. Your fridge can handle the heat and get the food cooled quickly.

Food should never stay out at room temperature for more than two hours. Leftovers can become breeding grounds (滋生地) for dangerous bacteria if they're left out too long and can make people sick.

"It is OK to leave the food cooling outside before you hit the two-hour mark," says Serena Poon, nutritionist of Le Cordon Bleu's Grand Diploma training program. "In fact, the sooner you can get your leftovers in the fridge, the better."

A doctor told me at a young age that I would likely never graduate from high school due to my severe hearing loss and my extremely slow speech development. I found the courage to work hard in school and be active in sports and other activities despite wearing hearing aids and living with a 70% hearing loss. By the time I was college-age, I started losing my night vision. I decided to go away to college 300 miles from home. I obtained my bachelor' s degree and graduated with honors. Even though I had terrible hearing loss and was beginning to lose my sight at night, I found the courage to begin a professional career.

After earning my MBA degree, I accepted a position with Kellogg in the Corporate Affairs Department. When I was working on my MBA degree, I found the courage to ask someone successful despite facing similar challenges to mentor（指导）me. He encouraged me to consider Kellogg as he knew the company was committed to diversity and inclusion（包容）. I nervously started my new career, because my vision loss had progressed significantly in the past few years. I am thankful to have a mentor that encouraged me and I am thankful I found the courage to apply for a position with Kellogg.

While Kellogg fosters a supportive, encouraging environment, it still takes courage for me to require what I need to make sure I am successful in my career. I need courage to speak up and ask for suitable accommodations to do my job. I also have to ask for assistance navigating through unfamiliar areas. I have found that everyone at Kellogg is always more than willing to take my requests into account.

Even though I face daily challenges, I have so much to be grateful for. We often face difficulties we cannot control, but we can be courageous in order to face adversity and address challenges.
