Before every Mother’s Day, you may rush around to try to find the perfect present. But stores don’t carry what most moms want. Moms know you love them, but they like reminders. So on the next two pages, some kids shared what they appreciate (感谢) about their moms.

My name’s Evelyn. This February was a special one for me and my family.
On February 17, 2004, doctors took away my heart and put in a new one. I was only three years old at the time. Before I was born, doctors were able to see that I had a heart defect — my heart couldn’t do its job. I had my first heart surgery (外科手术) when I was three days old. More surgeries followed, and soon the doctors found they couldn’t fix my heart. They had to get me a new one. So I got another child’s heart. My surgery went well, and now here I am. Even ten years later, I’m doing great.
Well, it’s not always easy. I see doctors regularly (定期地). Medicine is part of my everyday life. I had to have a surgery in 2008, and I may need more surgeries in the future. No one knows what will happen, and I don’t worry about it.
I don’t feel different from other people, mostly. I like violin, painting and ball games, and I’m in middle school. I have amazing friends. A few of them and I have been friends since I was a little child. I enjoy going to a special camp for kids with heart defects. The year I turned 11, I decided to get a swimsuit to wear at the camp. The camp helped me to be OK with showing my scars (伤疤).
I celebrate my birthday and also my Heart Day, every February 17. It’s a chance to be thankful for my new heart and the family that gave it to me. I have never met the family, but I’d want them to know how thankful I am for my life.

The first time I went to Grand Canyon National Park, I knew I wanted to work there as a park ranger. Park rangers protect the parks’ animals, plants, land, buildings, and people.21•3*7网
Now, as a park ranger for Grand Canyon National Park, I share the science, history and beauty of this park with thousands of visitors from around the world.
National parks are like outdoor museums. Park rangers have all kinds of jobs, depending on where they work and what they studied during college. I teach school field trips, work at visitor centers and help people stay safe during their visit.
My favorite part of my job is showing children their first look at the Grand Canyon during school field trips. Children are often amazed at the canyon’s size and colors. Sometimes, they think it looks like a painting.
Being a park ranger requires a lot of energy. I walk several miles and talk with hundreds of people each day. Nearly 5 million people visit Grand Canyon National Park every year. Park rangers must enjoy working with people and speaking in front of groups.
Park rangers must also be prepared for any situation. Recently, I broke up a traffic jam (堵塞) caused by a huge elk (麋鹿) standing in the road. Elk can become dangerous when they get scared, so I asked visitors to stop their cars and take pictures from far away. Believe it or not, I also help protect people from squirrels (松鼠). It is not allowed to feed wild animals in national parks. But sometimes, visitors try to feed squirrels.

Once, I invited my friend, Peggy, to dinner. We hadn’t seen each other for three years. While enjoying the delicious food, we talked about the people we knew, the places we had been to and the things we found interesting. We shared each other’s joys and pains. It was a great time. But only when I was about to pay for the dinner did I realize I had left my wallet at home. This meant Peggy had to pay for the dinner instead of me. I will never forget this embarrassing experience.
Yours,
Wang Xun
