m spilling over. She told me that my three-year-old cousin had cancer. Hearing this, I went completely numb. How could this be happening？ I had just seen her, and she was fine. These things didn’t happen to our family, that’s what my uncle said. It seemed like the world turned upside down; just last week my grandmother had passed away. I felt like I couldn’t get my feet on solid ground. That’s when my sister, Madi, came down the stairs with her long brown hair freshly washed. She sat next to me and smiled. Despite what was happening, everything would work out, her smile seemed to say. “Mom, do you think I could get my hair cut tomorrow？” Madi asked. “Sure,” Mom said , starting to wash the dishes. “ I want to donate it to Locks of Love ” Madi smiled. My mom stopped washing and turned to look at her. “ Are you sure？ ” I noticed that Mom was holding back tears. This was a sacrifice(牺牲 ) for Madi. Her long hair was an importa nt part of her. “Yeah, it’s just hair. Eventually it will grow back.” She said. “All right,” Mom said quietly, smiling again. Madi gave up a part of herself for a while. She let a piece of herself go to someone else, someone she didn’t know. That day she became my hero too.

The journey two divers(潜水员)made some time ago to the very deepest point on the earth make us realize how much of the world still remains to be studied. The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small ball to find out if there are any ocean currents(水流)or signs of life.

It was necessary to set out early, so that the ball would come to the surface in daylight, and so be easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations(准备)early in the morning and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under the surface of the water.

The divers felt as if they were going down steps as they passed through warm and cold layers(层)of water. In time, the temperature dropped to freezing point. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone telling how they felt. Then, at a depth(深度)of 3,000 feet, the telephone stopped working and they were quite cut off from the outside world. All went well until some four hours later at 30,000 feet, the men were frightened by a loud, cracking(爆裂)noise: even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of the outer(外部的)windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the ball touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of "dust" made up of small dead sea-creatures. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the great water pressure(压力). But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long , as the heat from them made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the faint(微弱的)but clear voices of the divers were heard on the mother ship seven miles away. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience.
