Love is love. We cannot describe it because it is a feeling of heart. Love makes us crazy and gives us a colorful life. Love means that the person who we love is everything!

Love will let them be not afraid to do everything! Nothing can separate them!

Abdul Sattar Edhi
According to “Abdul Sattar Edhi, by Cameron Macphail, known in Pakistan as "Angel of Mercy" and "Pakistan's Father Teresa" for his social work that also won international acclaim who adopted 20,000 children”, Abdul Sattar Edhi was an award-winning philanthropist and humanitarian. He had a foundation which is the largest welfare organization in Pakistan, and more than 20,000 abandoned babies had been rescued. It had rehabilitated some 50,000 orphans and had trained more than 40,000 nurses. He also had the largest ambulance service in the world. Furthermore, his ambulances were welcomed worldwide! He also provided a lot of working opportunities for women. Over 2,000 paid workers of his foundation contained almost 500 women. His Karachi facilities had been attacked by Islamists and, £400,000 had been stolen in Oct. 2013.Abdul Sattar Edhi is called the 'richest poor man'. He is one of the most important people in Pakistan. By the time of his death on July 8th, 2016, Edhi was registered as a parent or guardian of nearly 20,000 children.
Setting up such a foundation is very difficult in Pakistan. What Abdul Sattar Edhi has done is very touching. He let the homeless people have a new home. He gives them food, water, house and another chance to have a new life. He spares no effort in keeping Islamic society steady and peace. People he had helped may try to help others. He is a hero in Pakistan.
Yonghao Luo, the CEO of Smartisan Technology, also set a foundation to donate the open source community such as Open SSL and Open BSD. This two do more contributions in developing the network encryption technology. The technology Open SSL have developed are always used to encrypt the E-mail and online payment information. Open BSD has made the safest operation system in the world, and this OS is widely used by many international technology companies. A lot of companies benefit from using the technology from the open source community but they always do not give that community a gratitude, and some of them try to engross the research results from the open source group. The foundation that Yonghao Luo has set give the open source community a lot of hope and let them keep researching fervently. The programmer will feel that they get respected for their dedication. Open SSL has confirmed that they have received about 212,000$ from Luo's foundation. Steve Marquess who is the founder of Open SSL said that after two donations from Luo, they start receiving more donations from the people who are willing to help the open source community. His foundation is a very important project in the information technology field to make more and more talents to join in this. Thanks, Yonghao Luo!

The Omnivore's Dilemma Ch. 4-6
There is a grain elevator in Farnhamvillie non-stop runs, and " Cargill" and "ADM" are two of the biggest corn export companies and also are controlling the corn's path every step of the way. Micheal says, " When I came to Iowa was to somehow follow George Naylor's corn on its path to our plates and into our bodies". He can" follow the corn river as it passed through their elevators, pipes, freighters, feedlot, mill, and laboratories" through these two companies.
Over ninety thousand kernels come from different farm such as “34H31” and “33P67” are called “number 2 corn”. “Where do those ninety thousand kernels wind up?” Michela says. 47% of the corn are used to feed the American factory farm animals. These food animals are the biggest consumers of this ninety thousand kernels. Even the animals who do not eat the corn are forced to be fed. For example, Micheal says, “The cow is by nature not a corn eater. Getting cows to eat a corn diet takes a heroic effort on the part of the factory farm.” So, the America are the corn-fed nation.

1. "The most important part of altruism is the fact you aren’t doing something to benefit yourself or for the purpose of self-satisfaction and ego. Instead, altruism is about doing something solely to benefit others, and it’s the purity of the act that makes other people more willing to be altruistic, too. Unfortunately, there’s a widely-accepted notion human beings are all selfish individuals who act out of pure self-serving motives."
Helping other people without hopping any return is called the altruistic. The altruistic people are always incomprehensible. According to "The Science Behind Why Paying It Forward Makes You Feel So Damn Good" by Alexia LaFata, humans are selfish, and they will not be willing helping others without getting benefit unless they have motives but some motivations can make people become the altruistic. There is a story. When I was twelve, I moved to Shanghai China for study. I was living with the head teacher of my sister who had come to Shanghai for study before me for five years. We called her Shi. Shi and her family took care of us like the true family. Our taste was known very well. Shi helped a lot to adapt the life in Shanghai. Shi taught me how to understand Shanghainese which is a local language in Shanghai. A transportation card I received the first day I went to school was really made me happy. My mother spoke to us that Shi didn’t accept any money from her. Shi sad that she was really willing to help us because Shi was not living in Shanghai just like us. Our situation let her willingly help us. She knew how hard living in Shanghai when she was a little girl. Sympathy was her motivation to help us without any return.
3. "When you’re truly altruistic towards other people, social scientists have discovered you start a chain reaction of those people helping others out. Your act of kindness begins a ripple effect of kindness extending far beyond your social circle and into the rest of the world."
Alexia also said that once people start to help other people, it will be a ripple effect. That means more people will start helping others after they were helped. In the movie “ Pay It Forward”, a vagrant was helped by Trevor. Trevor gave him food to eat and took him home. This made him decide to quit drugging. After that, he started a new life, and he moved to another city. He saw a woman try to suicide when he was walking through a bridge. He started helping that woman. He said having a coffee with me please, do me a favor. Finally, he saved that woman’s life. After the woman was rescued, I believed that she would other people too.

What images do you think work well in the poem? Provide at least three examples.
The descriptions of fish make me can really think about how that fish looks like.
Here and there
his brown skin hung in strips
like ancient wallpaper,
and its pattern of darker brown
was like wallpaper:
Why do you think the fish doesn’t fight when it is caught? (lines 5-6)
First, the fish doesn't have a way to fight.
Second, may be that fish pretends that it has dead.
Why do you think the speaker of the poem lets the fish go?
The speaker thinks that the fish is poor. Its mouth is broken. The other reason why the speakers let the fish go is that the fish to the speaker is bueatiful.
Identify examples of simile and metaphor. Provide at least three similes and one metaphor.
1. if you could call it a lip—grim, wet, and weaponlike, hung five old pieces of fish-line, or four and a wire leader with the swivel still attached, with all their five big hooks grown firmly in his mouth.
2. Like medals with their ribbons frayed and wavering, a five-haired beard of wisdom trailing from his aching jaw.
3. his brown skin hung in strips like ancient wallpaper,
4. I stared and stared and victory filled up the little rented boat, from the pool of bilge where oil had spread a rainbow around the rusted engine to the bailer rusted orange, the sun-cracked thwarts, the oarlocks on their strings, the gunnels—until everything was rainbow, rainbow, rainbow!
What do you think the speaker means when she says “rainbow, rainbow, rainbow” at the end of the poem?
The speaker says “rainbow, rainbow, rainbow” because the things he has shown them to us before always have a lot of colors. The oil and the water will refract sun light to different colors.
Several times in the poem the speaker compares the old and ugly fish to something beautiful or positive (lines 14, 33, 61, and 63). What are other things that can be described by comparing them with something totally different?
The old ugly human bodies can have a strong artistic sense. The sloppy muscles, the irregular body structures and the concentrated wrinkles in the face are all interesting to be represented. Artists like the old more than young. It is beautiful in artists' aesthetics.

Island Adventure in Anaheim
This island has a lot of monsters which have different super power. One type of small dragon who can use fire is attacking our group. Once this dragon appeared, the burning we would smell at first, and a roar was heard. This dragon caught me with it big paw. When I touched it, it felt like rough and wet. I was so scared. Tony used his laser gun to shot the dragon’s paw. Then the dragon released his paw. Luke used his Force to catch me from dropping down. After escaping from the dragon’s attack, we decided to have a dinner. We heard some movement from the beach. “It’s Vancouver Crab!” said by Michael. Michael caught a lot of them very fast and cooked it skillfully. After he finished the meal, we were unable to hold ourselves back to eat it because it smelled so alluring. “It’s too hot!” I said after I touched it but this meal made us so happy. After we ate the dinner, we found some electronic components from the broken spacecraft that we were taking. Tony finally had enough material to make the Iron Suits for us. Luke tried to move this huge spacecraft to the where was good for manufacturing the Suits. In the process of moving the spacecraft, it made some huge noise like the metal colliding each. Pi produced a large quantity of fresh water. This was so important to us. Even Jedi should drink water. Moreover, this fresh water tasted a little sweet! It was time to start making the suit! Tony gave us a construction guidance and let us follow the steps. This Suit would help us to escape from this island. To be honest, the molten metal smelled pungent. When I saw Tony’s works, I was shocked. He had finished a prototype. Although this prototype still had a lot of Bugs, it should be OK. He was so talent just like what he did in the movie! Building 5 different Suits wasn’t an easy job. We would continue building it every day. This island had volcanic eruption frequently. The loud bang made us hard to fall asleep, but sometimes it was good because we would get a lot of useful rare minerals such as sulfur which smells not so good but is good for softening horny. This was our relax time. We put some sulfur to the hot water and made it be spa. The sulfur made our skin felt smoother. Pi, Michael and I found some mushrooms, and Pi also got some flying fishes! It meant that we would have another delicious meal! After a few days, we had a new prototype Suits. Tony was teaching me how to use it because there was no Jarvis who was the artificial intelligence assistant made by Tony in this Suit. So, we had to learn how to operate it. Luke was a pilot before, therefore he learned it very fast. He showed us the way to use Force to felt the flying. However, it was too hard to a normal human. Afterward, I had a mission to find the fuel because we cannot fly a long time without enough fuel. Pi was good at finding things, so I followed him. We arrived at a cave. There had some tar smell. “We got it.” We used the laser gun to drill down the ground. The tremor from the ground made my hand become hemp. Finally, we got the fuel! A lot of fuel! The day that we could escape from this island was just around the corner!

Listening: Seeing in Beautiful Precise Pictures
Temple Grandin
Because I have autism, I live by concrete rules instead of abstract beliefs. And because I have autism, I think in pictures and sounds. I don't have the ability to process abstract thought the way that you do. Here's how my brain works: It's like the search engine Google for images. If you say the word "love" to me, I'll surf the Internet inside my brain. Then, a series of images pops into my head. What I'll see, for example, is a picture of a mother horse with a foal, or I think of "Herbie the Lovebug," scenes from the movie Love Story or the Beatles song, "Love, love, all you need is love..."
When I was a child, my parents taught me the difference between good and bad behavior by showing me specific examples. My mother told me that you don’t hit other kids because you would not like it if they hit you. That makes sense. But if my mother told me to be "nice" to someone, it was too vague for me to comprehend. But if she said that being nice meant delivering daffodils to a next-door neighbor, that I could understand.
I built a library of experiences that I could refer to when I was in a new situation. That way, when I confronted something unfamiliar, I could draw on the information in my homemade library and come up with an appropriate way to behave in a new and strange situation.
I believe that doing practical things can make the world a better place.
When I was in my 20s, I thought a lot about the meaning of life. At the time, I was getting started in my career, designing more human facilities for animals at ranches and slaughterhouses. Many people would think that to even work at a slaughterhouse would be inhumane, but they forget that every human and animal eventually dies. In my mind, I had a picture of a way to make that dying as peaceful as possible.
Back in the 1970s, I went to 50 different feedlots and ranches in Arizona and Texas and helped them work cattle. I cataloged the parts of each facility that worked effectively and assembled them into an ideal new system. I get great satisfaction when a rancher tells me that my corral design helps cattle move through it quietly and easily. When cattle stay calm, it means they are not scared. And that makes me feel I’ve accompished something important.
Some people might think if I could snap my fingers I'd choose to be "normal." But I wouldn't want to give up my ability to see in beautiful, precise pictures. I believe in them.

Article Summary and Connection
According to “Life expectancy differs by 20 years between some US counties”, by Susan Scutti, US people’s life length is different. It depends on where people live, and what living habits people have. The maximum age gap is almost 20 years. The research shows that the people in the west are live longer than the people in the east. The different phase of age will show different probability of risk of death. Murray who is a researcher says that a lot of risk factors and Socioeconomic factors may cause the life length to be shorter. Female are always live longer than male. The low education level and poverty may make life shorter. A good news is that the early death risk of the children under the age of 5 years old are reducing.
What attracts me is the risk factors. "Obesity, Lacking of exercise, smoking, hypertension, and diabetes -- explained 74% of the variation in longevity," said Murray. Especially in the US, over high obesity rate has become the biggest problem in this country. People in the US eat too much sugar and junk food because they are cheaper than any other healthy food and more delicious than healthy food. The junk food leads people in the US abandon their health concept. A ton of health risk will be foreshadowed for them. Smoking is the most unacceptable behavior in the public. Secondhand smoke not only makes the people who smoke unhealthy but also harm the people around them. My math teacher who taught me math in seventh grade had the addiction of smoking. Although she didn’t smoke in school, she smoked at home. Her husband also smoked. Their son told them that his throat was uncomfortable one day. They sent their son to the hospital. After checking the body, the doctor asked them that if their son smokes or not, and told them their son’s lungs were damaged by secondhand smoke seriously. They were astonished. I didn’t know what happened after that because I dropped out when I moved up to eighth grade. This made me start hating smoke.

In "Driverless Cars", Katherine Schulten said that google try to expand the influence of the technology which is about automatic drive car. Then some question that if this technology is safe was asked because the traffic condition, unspoken rules of the road and cultural cues are perplexed and different in each city. Although this technology has a huge amounts of uncertainties, google still adhere to develop it. Some data show that driverless car does happen some accidents but in the final analysis, it is “not once was the self-driving car the cause of the accident.” The perpetrators are not this technology. So google has more reason to develop this technology.
