I was traveling alone through the UK.To reach places that were off the public transportation map,I bought an old car,which cost most of my money.I couldn't afford to stay in the hotel,so I had to camp in my car for the rest of the trip.

One morning I awoke in my old car on a country road in Ireland and saw a single house.The water in my thermos (保温瓶)had gone cold,so I knocked on the door of the house.A woman opened it.I asked her for some hot water.But she wouldn't let me get away with just that!I was invited indoors.She asked me to sit at the table and have breakfast with her family.They filled my thermos before I left.

I was greatly moved.And I decided to pass the kindness on.The other day I met a young man who had been driving around to look for a parking lot.He looked increasingly upset.I was glad that I was able to point one out to him.His thankful smile was the hugest reward (奖赏)for me.

Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year.Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood﹣powered of coal﹣powered stoves.

One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun.Crosby Menzies,a solar power expert in a South African company,described his latest solar cooker called the"Sol.4","It is four square meters of mirrors,six to eight meters in length.It is quite a large cooler."

The"Sol.4"works by reflecting (反射)light from the sun off large mirrors.The mirrors direct (把…对准)the light at a cooking pan.Then the light heats the pan with solar energy.Within two minutes,the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions.In just four minutes,water can be boiled.That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.

The cooker is also much"friendlier"than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it.And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal.Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.

At present,the cooker only works when the sun is shining.But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.

Each cooker costs about $2000,which is a large amount of money for most Africans.To solve that problem,Crosby Menzies has created a non﹣governmental organization called solar Cookers for Africa.It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.

In Britain.Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26 th,which is the following day after Christmas Day.However,strictly speaking.Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas.Like Christmas Day.Boxing Day sing a public holiday.This means it's a non﹣working day in the whole of Britain.When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday,the following Monday is the public holiday.

The exact origin(起源)of the holiday is unclear.One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages,when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land,a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神父)on each ship.Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box.It was sealed upand kept on board until the ship came home safely.Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing.The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.

One more thought is about the"Alms Box"placed in every church on Christmas Day.Worshippers (做礼拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it.These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas,that is why that day became know as Boxing Day.

Today,many businesses,organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating(捐赠)their time,services and money to aid Food Banks,providing gifts for the poor,or helping families in need.Besides,spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.
