She has made more than $ 40,000 for the zoo. Zoo leaders say Ruby first showed the talent (才能) about four years ago. Zoo work

22、ers watched her make the marks in the sand with her trunk. She rubbed (擦掉) out the marks, then made the new ones. The zoo worker gave her brushes and paints. Soon Ruby painted pictures. Newspaper reporters wrote Ruby, then people asked about buying her pictures. And in this way, she made a lot of mo

You dont need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money a

27、nd so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.

28、y hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it.

29、, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that cant be bought with money

30、. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge(向挑战)yourself. So you can not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转)door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chan

35、 30 student volunteers at Soil Born Farms. She volunteered as part of a project which was set up in 2009 to help homeowners in South Land Park pick oranges and other fruits out of their backyards.
