Campbell Remess is a teenager from Australia. He has been sewing（缝制）toy bears for sick children for several years. The story began in 2013 when Campbell was nine years old. Seeing sad and lonely kids in the hospital, he told his parents that he wanted to give Christmas gifts to children in hospital. But his parents said no because with nine children of their own, they didn’t have enough money to buy gifts. The little boy didn’t give up. However, he decided to make toy bears by himself.

Campbell made his first toy bear with his mother’s sewing machine in his bedroom. It was hard for him as he had never done this before. He downloaded models from the Internet and learned how to make a toy bear by watching video online. It took him five hours to finish his first toy bear. He can now make a toy bear in an hour. He has also started a project called “Project 365 by Campbell”. And he tries to make a toy bear every day in the project.

Young Campbell uses his pocket money to buy materials（材料）for making toy bears. To make more pocket money, he helps his parents with housework whenever he is free. Sometimes he also sells his toy bear online to get money for sick children.

Campbell has given away about 1,300 toy bears so far. Ailish is one of the sick kids in hospital. “It’s like an angel（天使）to me,” Ailish says. “Whenever I see it, I see hope.”

On Saturday morning, every boy in town was happy, except(除了) Tom Sawyer. Tom’s aunt said he had to paint the fence(围栏) because Tom had caused some trouble. The fence was thirty yards long and three yards high. He knew other boys would laugh at him. He didn’t want to become a joke, so he thought hard. Then he came up with an idea and picked up his brush to start the work.

A moment later, Ben Rogers came with an apple in his hand.

“I’m going swimming,” said Ben. “Do you want to come? Oh, you have to work, don’t you?”

“Of course not. I’m enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day?” Tom said and went on painting.

“Oh, please, Tom,” begged(恳求) Ben. “I’ll be really careful. Let me try. I’ll give you half my apple in return. Wait, I’ll give you all of it.”

“That’s a deal,” said Tom. “But you must be careful.” He gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart. He started to eat Ben’s apple.

All day, boys passed by and wanted to paint. When Ben got tired, Billy began to paint. He gave Tom his favourite kite. Then Johnny gave him twelve marbles(弹珠), and so on.

56．Some Changes in My Life

How time flies! It has been two years since I went to the middle school. I found that there were two main changes in my life during the two years.

On the one hand, I have become better at dealing with problems. It used to be difficult for me to make new friends. Then I found out the reasons. Now, I have a lot of friends.

On the other hand, I have become much more confident. In the past, I was worried that I couldn't do well in my lessons. However, with the help of my teachers and classmates, now I do well in all the subjects.

I like these changes. They can make my life better than before.
