—It                    be her. She has gone abroad.

In a suburb of Los Angeles, a young boy named Trevor McKinney lived with his single mother, Arlene. Trevor was a thoughtful and compassionate child, always looking for ways to make a positive impact on those around him.

One day, Trevor's social studies teacher, Mr. Simonet announced a unique project: To come up with an idea to change the world and put it into action. Trevor's eyes lit up with excitement. He remembered a conversation with his mother about how small acts of kindness can ripple out and touch many lives. This sparked an idea in Trevor's mind.

That evening, Trevor sat at the kitchen table, a pad of paper and a pencil in front of him. He sketched out his idea, drawing arrows and circles to represent how one act of kindness could lead to many more. He titled his project "Pay It Forward". The concept was simple yet profound: Instead of paying back a favor, recipients of kindness should pay it forward to three other people.

At the suggestion of his Mom, Trevor started with small acts of kindness. He helped an elderly neighbor, Mrs. Johnson, carry her groceries up the stairs. Mrs. Johnson, touched by Trevor's kindness, planted a flower garden in her yard, beautifying the neighborhood. Trevor also fixed a broken fence for his friend, Chris, whose family was struggling financially. Chris, inspired by Trevor's act, volunteered at a local food bank, helping to distribute meals to the needy.

Each time Trevor performed an act of kindness, he asked the recipient to pay it forward to three others. The idea began to spread, and soon, more and more people were participating in Trevor's Pay It Forward movement. Trevor kept a journal, documenting each act of kindness and the people it touched.

One day, I was at the dry cleaners3 my clothes. I was standing at the counter, paying, and4 had more in my hand than I could carry. A woman sitting by the laundromat (自助洗衣店) looked at me and asked, "Do you need any5 ?" I quickly said, "No, no, I've got it."

"We made it!" Joe said. "What an amazing week! I'm so proud of Sam. He completed the youngest rope climbing of El Capitan! In a few years he might be back breaking more records."

Rock climbing has been a favorite pastime for the Baker family. Though Sam's mother didn't join the climbing, she is also a crazy climber. The family set up a website to record Sam's adventures and collect money to make films that inspire parents to adventure with their kids. Sam began training at least 18 months ago and did well in a test run. They began the climbing on October 25 and reached the top on 28. They made the journey with the help of two guides.

But their achievement has not been without controversy (争议): as the climbing made headlines around the world, some members of the Yosemite climbing community began to say publicly that what the pair had done was not actually called climbing. The Bakers used a technique known as "jugging" which needs using handheld devices to slide up a fixed rope that's been placed by a guide, without touching the rock face.

Reaching the top can not be so simple. The climbing takes many days, which means carrying up all necessary food, water and other heavy equipment. It also involves setting up and sleeping on a small platform that's suspended (悬) thousands of feet in the air. The rock face is very exposed, a term (术语) used to describe a place that's steep (陡峭的) and unprotected.
