In 2012, Mary Davis, who works at an enrichment center .for young children, and her husband, Ari Kadin, who is in property management, were expecting their first child when Davis miscarried （流产）. They were desperately heartbroken. But the couple, who were volunteering with adults in a Skid Row homeless shelter, refused to let their heartbreak break them.

"In 2013, our child would have been one year old,” says Davis, 38, "and we kept seeing these kids at the shelter, and I said to my husband, 'We couldn't throw a birthday party for our child, so let's do it for these kids. '"

They took over a room in the Union Rescue Mission and filled it with streamers （飘带）， gifts, a cake — all the makings of a great party. Since then, the couple has thrown a party every month. They routinely attract 250 kids and their parents. An hour before each party, volunteers arrive to set up the decorations and activities: face painting, balloon artists, a DJ, cake, and pizza. There are small presents for the kids celebrating their birthdays that month, but Davis makes sure there are more than enough to go around.

"I remember a mom came with her two kids," Davis says, “and her child had a birthday. We had an extra gift for her—pink headphones. The little girl was so excited that she was jumping up and down. And her mom …she's crying, 'Yesterday was her birthday. I had nothing to give her. I really didn't expect a birthday party for my child.'"

Doing her best to normalize（使正常化）these kids' lives is both heartwarming and bittersweet. Davis says, "If you look down, you see so many homeless people on the street, which reminds you that these kids don't get to leave this area after the party. "It may be why, after throwing 88 parties, she still cries after each one.

1.Why did the couple volunteer in a Skid Row homeless shelter in 2013?

A.Because they love children.

B.Because they are warm-hearted.

C.Because they enjoy the procedure of helping others.

D.Because they didn't want to be stuck in the pain of loss.

2.What do we learn from the passage?

A.Davis' child is 8 years old now.

B.The kids' parents are volunteers in the shelter.

C.Davis always prepares to get more presents for the kids.

D.The mother was very grateful to the couple for what they did for her kid.

3.How long have the couple volunteered to hold parties for the kids according to the passage?

A.Less than 6 years.

B.Less than 7 years.

C.Nearly 7 and a half years.

D.Nearly 8 years.

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.The kids won't leave the shelter after the party.

B.Davis doesn't want the kids to be homeless again.

C.Davis always sees many homeless people on the street.

D.Davis cries after each party because she suffers a lot in the volunteer activities.

Last night my husband and I were on the way to a show. We were both hungry and wanted to grab a quick bite on our way there, so we swung through a Jack-In-the-Box-Drive-thru Restaurant and placed our order.

When we got up to the window the lady smiled at me, which is sometimes rare and asked how I was doing while she was collecting our money for the food. I replied, "Fine, and how are you'?" She went to get our order ready and I asked my husband to pass my "Drive-thru Smile bag" to me. He handed it to me and watched in amazement as I gathered together a "You make a difference" paper, including a smile card, a smile stamp and a smile button.

She came back to the window almost before I finished putting it all together. Without looking too closely she passed the bag and said, "Thank you. Have a good day." I said, "Wait! This is for you." As I placed the little smile gifts in her hand a smile spread across her face. As she looked at the items it got a little bigger but when I thanked her for her smile there was no holding back. She gave the biggest smile and she was laughing. It was very heartwarming.

My husband was very impressed by it. It made him smile too. It just takes a little effort to connect in a human way to everyone we have dealings with, even with something as small as a Drive-thru transaction.

Remember, we all make a difference!

1.All the followings are included in my "You make a difference" paper EXCEPT ________.

A. a smile card                        B. a smile stamp

C. a smile button                    D. a smile bag

A. some food        B. some kindness        C. some money        D. some help

3.What may be the best title for the text?

A. Jack-In-the-Box-Drive-thru Restaurant

B. Biggest Drive-thru Smile Ever

C. You Make a Difference through Effort

D. Don't hold back Your Smile
