22、 Born in a fishing village in Japan, Fujiyama, 25, recalls a childhood dominated by health concerns. Doctors told his parents that he had a hole in his heart and “they didn’t think I had a lot longer to live”. But during a later visit to the doctor, his family learned the hole had closed. “Somehow I was cured and I became a normal kid,” Fujiyama says. “And I had a second chance.”
During his second year at the University of Mary Washington, he volunteered in Honduras with a campus group and was struck by the extreme poverty he saw — barefoot children collecting cans and sleeping in the streets. Fujiyama realized he could help give other children their own second chance.
Today, his organization, Students Helping Honduras, brings education and community projects to children and families in need.
He started by telling his friends about his experience and collecting spare change at his two campus jobs. “When I had my very first meeting, only two people showed up,” he says. “I knew I had to keep fighting.” He persuaded his younger sister, Cosmo, to join the cause. “She’s dynamite,” He says. “When she talks in front of a crowd, she can move mountains. Knowing that she was behind it, I knew I could do anything.” Since 2006, the siblings’ organization has grown to 25 campuses and raised more than $750,000 to fund projects, including the construction of two schools and the establishment of scholarships to help young women attend college.
Fujiyama says students are deeply committed to the organization. They raise money and then travel to Honduras to help building houses. While Fujiyama spends his summers in Honduras working alongside volunteers, he spends a large portion of the year on the road visiting colleges to raise funds. Cosmo Fujiyama, 23, lives in Honduras full time to coordinate (协调) the group’s building efforts on the ground.
Students Helping Honduras is working with community members of Siete de Abril to build a new village. Many of the families lost their belongings in Hurricane Mitch in 1998. A lot of them didn’t have access to clean water or health care, and they didn’t have a school. Fujiyama’s group helped build 44 homes in the village named “Sunshine Village”. The organization is also raising funds to build a water tower, an eco-friendly sanitation system and a library.
【1】At the beginning of his organization, ________.
A.Fujiyama was supported by many friends

C.Fujiyama had little idea of Honduras

24、Why are people taking pictures of their faces.their hobbies and their food? Why do we capture every single moment? I can't really give you an answer, because honestly, I am one of those people who take photographs of everything.
The special thing about photography Is that we can capture moments anywhere and anytime.All we need for this is our smartphone - something that rarely leaves our side.
Compared to other forms of visual (视觉的) art, you don't need any special talent for it.Every single one of us can get started with this wonderful hobby no matter if your goal is to sell your photographs or just to keep them for your own viewing pleasure.
Every picture you lake is a personal story.There is no painting without context (背景).However, unlike a painting, you don't need to spend hours of your time on it It is a way to express yourself, with little to no skill involved.
If you prefer to share your pictures with the world, you can also get immediate feedback (即时反馈) Camera phones allow us to upload our pictures in a few seconds Pictures connect and show the people around us what is going on in our life night now.
The most amazing hing for me is without question the ability to capture every single moment in my life with just a single click of a button (按钮) Thus enables me to remember every experience as it happens.It's crazy how the emotions of one single picture can throw you back in time.We can connect to our past no matter where we are and preserve those memories that are most meaningful to us.
