Smile Train is a charity ( 慈善团体) that helps the millions of children around the world, who suffer from a facial defect（ 缺 陷 ）. The defect happens when a baby’s top lip or mouth doesn’t form properly before birth. Eating and drinking is very difficult for these babies. The charity provides free operations, which give these children a new smile, and with it, new hope and a new beginning.
Children with the defect need all the help. Although many sufferers are accepted by their families, sadly, others are not. In some countries, children with this defect are often abandoned at birth because their parents feel ashamed（ 尴 尬 ）of them or cannot afford the operations. The good news is that the operation is not difficult. It takes less than an hour and costs the family nothing. The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations.
A Smile Train doctor from the UK said, “Each child who has the operation is given a second chance at life. After years of staying at home, the children can finally go to school and be happy. Every year I perform hundreds of operations free of cost through Smile Train. Some of the stories I have heard are quite surprising.
One newborn baby girl was found abandoned on a train. Luckily for her, she was found and adopted（收养）by a passenger. This lady then heard about Smile Train and brought the baby to our hospital. I did the operation and gave hope to the family. Experienced doctors like me share our skills with local doctors. In this way make sure that these operations will always be available（可获得的）.”

People are hurt by acid rain. A young boy named Marco lived in New Jersey. He liked to open his mouth to catch the fresh tasting water in the past. This time it was acid rain. It came from pollution created by the factories close to Marco's home. Marco didn't know that this kind of rain would make him sick.
Marco, who has asthma(气喘), had a serious attack. He had to go to hospital. He felt terrible. He couldn't breathe. People with breathing problems suffer when they are exposed(裸露) to acid rain. People who eat plants or animals that have been exposed to acid rain can also have serious problems. Some other health problems have something to do with people eating animals and plants affected by acid rain.
Acid rain burns the leaves on plants and trees. They should be green and healthy, but acid rain destroys them. The rain usually does not kill the trees, but their leaves are destroyed. Then, the plants get weaker because they can't make the food that they need. Forests in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States have been especially harmed by acid rain. Besides, Acid rain also hurts the soil in the forests, nonliving things, such as arts and buildings.
We should work together to make this bad rain go away. Acid rain will go away if the pollutants in the air go away. Every family can reduce pollution by using clean energy and electricity. They can also drive less. If everyone helps, acid rain will go away sooner.
