When you cut your skin，you bleed．If a person loses a lot of blood，he will become ill and may die．Blood is very important．People have always known that．At one time，some people even drank blood to make them strong!
When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body，they try ways of giving blood to people who need it．They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it．This is called"blood transfusion"（输血）．The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person．
But there are two problems．First，it does not always work．Sometimes people die when they are having blood transfusion．Later，doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood．There are four main groups of blood﹣﹣﹣O，A，B and AB．Almost all of us have blood of one of these groups．They also find that they can give any of the four groups of blood to people to people of group AB．But they find that they must give A﹣group blood to A﹣group people and B﹣group blood to B﹣group people．I have O﹣group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else safely．
There is another problem．To give blood of the right kind，doctors have to find a person of the right blood group．Often they can not find a person in time．If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it，they can always have the right kind of blood．At first，they find if they make it very cold，they can keep the blood in bottles for fifteen to twenty days．Then they find out how to keep it longer．In the end they find a way of keeping blood for a very long time．
We call a place where we keep money a"bank"．We call a place where we keep blood a"blood bank"．One day，when you grow up，you may decide to give blood to a"blood bank"．In this way，you may stop someone from dying．Or perhaps one day you may become ill．You may need blood．The"blood bank"will give it to you．

The 14-year-old girl Susan Davis is having a party. At this party, there are neither cakes nor candles. There is only a room full of art supplies(供应品)and many kids she never met. And all the kids are homeless.
Susan got the idea last year after her school. She worried that kids who could not afford their own supplies would give up drawing. So she started writing letters to big companies to ask for help. Then the girl received lots of donations(赠品)from some of the biggest art supply companies. Susan collected more than $3000 in supplies, enough to make a home for kids to paint their own watercolors.
By far she’s held three parties. What she did was encouraged by the White House. Susan received the President’s awards(奖赏). Now Susan does it for a different reason— to get the poor kids to enjoy art.

Some Advice on Safety
Always play in a safe place. A park is a safe place because there is no cars or trucks. But do not talk to strangers. Never go with a stranger into a car.
Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways. Look left, look right and look left again.
Keep away from houses or buildings that are being built or knocked down. Something might fall on your head, or you might cut yourself on broken glass.
Medicines or pills can be dangerous. Never swallow(吞下) any pills or medicines you find in the cupboard.
Don’t swim in the pool or river without adults. Wear a life jacket whenever you go out in a boat. Even if you are not in the open sea and the water is not deep, you should have your life jacket on. It's easy to fall out of a boat.
Do not put your head out of a car, bus or train. Many children have been killed by doing this.
