The gymnasium smelled of delicious food and was filled with people. The place was more lively when kids in each class of kindergarten came in and sat in chattering rows. This was the big day --- the kickoff to the St. Baldrick’s event. And the kids knew what was coming. A fourth-grade teacher was about to have his head shaved.
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation provides funds for children’s cancer research. Their money comes from participants offering to publicly shave their heads in exchange for donations to the fund. When the fourth-grade teacher Mr. Leckron offered to shave his blond hair for the good of the cause, many kids signed up to be shaved as well. Many community members and parents stepped forward to donate money to support the events.
This event took place on a May afternoon. In the beginning of the after-school community shaving event, our principal stepped to the microphone and introduced the honorable guest, our town’s mayor(市长).Our mayor said the students were worth his respect because they were so sympathetic(同 情的)to those unfortunate.
After the mayor’s speech, a mother stepped to the microphone and shared the story of her son’s childhood cancer. The mother said the cancer was terrible to his son, but the St Baldrick’s funded research made him triumph over the challenge in the end. His story showed how the program was making a difference to real people.
Next the barber stepped forward and gestured Mr. Leckron to the stage. But Mr. Leckron shook his head and pretended to be afraid. Everyone cheered as Mr. Leckron walked forward and took his seat. When the barber shaved a path right down the center of Mr. Leckron’s head, everyone laughed. My heart pounded. I was excited at the joy that filled the gymnasium.
It stated that our little school raised over 10,000 dollars in the end. When I learned the good news of the result of the event, my eyes welled and I took great pride in my community that supported it.

When I was a boy growing up, I could not once ever remember either my mom or my grandmother wasting food. Anything we didn’t eat at one meal was saved, stored, and served as leftovers (剩饭剩菜) later on. I can remember my grandmother making a huge pot of brown beans with a large cake of cornbread. We would all eat until we were stuffed but there was always about half of the beans left over. A few days later my grandmother would take those beans out of the refrigerator, boil pasta, add parsley and mix them all together into her delicious Pasta Fasule. And I also remember when I watched my mom fry bacon for us in the mornings, she would always take the grease (油脂) and carefully pour it into a container. Then she later would use it to flavor up so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that green beans didn’t actually taste like bacon.
I learned their lessons well and after I grew up I tried never to waste food by myself. I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so nothing went to waste. Every meal went into my stomach and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself, my boys, or my dogs. To me throwing food in the trash was just wrong. All the work it took to grow it, harvest it, and prepare it needed to be honored, not wasted.
I learned something else over the years, however: when it comes to living there are no leftovers. Each moment that you don’t live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved. Life cannot be stored. Life has to be lived, TODAY!
Live each moment of your life to the fullest then. Make every day a feast of love with no leftovers. Leo Buscaglia once said: “Each day is a fresh beginning, a little life unto itself.” Don’t let any of these little lives go to waste. Live your life with a full belly and a full heart.

Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur, who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids' teeth, instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can't I make a healthy candy that's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to it ” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad's permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore's product — CanCandy.
As CanCandy's success grows, so does Moore's credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she's also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.
Meanwhile, with her parents' help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn't driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy's profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.

阅读下面短文,按照要求用英语回答问题。
Why would human beings waste a third of their lives sleeping when they could be doing more important things like looking after their families or working Some scientists believe sleeping helps recharge the body. while others think it is important for strengthening newly formed memories. Now, there is new evidence which suggests that the purpose of sleep may be to forget some of the millions of new things we learn each day.
The neurons in the human brain consist of fibers called dendrites (树突). These grow as we learn new things and connect the brain’s cells to each other at contact points called synapses (突触). The larger the dendrites become and the more cells they connect, the more information we store.
In 2018. Giulio Tononi and Chiara Cirelli, both biologists at the University of Wisconsin Madison, suggested a new idea: The things our brains learn each day result in so many synapses that things start to get a little messy. Sleeping allows us to sort through (整理) the “noise” and dispense all the unnecessary information. leaving behind only the most important memories.
Recently, the university’s research has provided direct evidence to support the theory. The experiment involved analyzing 6. 920 synapses in the brain shavings from two groups of mice over a four-year period: one group had been allowed to sleep, while the other had been kept awake and entertained with toys. The researchers discovered that the brain shavings of the sleeping mice had nearly 20 percent fewer synapses than those that had been kept awake and entertained.
It was also evident during the study that the brain does not shave every synapse. 20% of neurons remained unchanged: these were most likely well established memories. Therefore. although we may be sleeping to forget some of what we’ve learned, the brain “forgets” in a smart way.
Most researchers believe clearing our brains is not the only purpose of sleep.
Resting our minds and bodies has also been found to help with other biological functions like strengthening our immunity. Though scientists may never agree on a single reason. they are all sure of one thing — a good night’s rest is essential for our health. So try and spend at least a third of your day sleeping!

57. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2 (no more than 10 words)
