Home Alone is a very funny 1990 American film. It tells us a boy who is left at home alone by accident.
One night before Christmas, McAlister family meet at their house. They are planning to fly to Paris for the holiday and are busy getting ready.

In the morning, everyone wakes up very late. They are all in hurry to get to the airport, so they forget Kevin and he is left alone at home.
Although Kevin is alone, he is very happy at first. His terrible family have gone---his wish has come true. He watches TV, eats lots of fast food and play games. He has a good time. But later on, he goes out and hears two bad men called Harry and Lary. Many things in the house get broken as Kevin tries to stop them. Finally, the police come and the men are taken away.

It’s not just gloves that can help people keep warm in winter. Love can, too.
A pair of 16-year-old American twins, Jack and Jake Moran, stared a program called “Warm Hearts, Warm Hands” last month. Their aim was to collect new and used gloves with fellow students at Richards High School.
“We started this program a few weeks ago after we saw something on the news about a student who got frostbite(冻伤的）riding his bike to school,” Jack said. “I just kind of realized that there are so many kids who don’t have or wear gloves. The school has started the collection competition among classes, and the class that collects the most gloves gets a pizza party.
The twin brothers talked to other students about their program. Many teachers also joined in, bringing in gloves and encouraging their students to help meet the needs of local community members.
