A first-grade student whose best friend is suffering from cancer decided that hours of playing and telling jokes was not enough—he wanted to show his buddy just how he understood the tough time he was going through.
Five-year-old Vincent Butterfield decided the only way was to shave his head in support of his best friend Zac Gossage who lost his hair through chemotherapy(化疗).
Zac was diagnosed(诊断) last June with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (急性淋巴细胞白血病). He is being treated but still goes to Union Central Elementary in Missouri every day—because that's where he gets to play with Vincent.
When the little boy was asked why he shaved his hair off, he told KSDK: "To make Zac feel like he's not the only one without any hair."
Vincent has also been learning about cancer and raising money for his best friend after learning how expensive his chemotherapy treatments are.
He made more than 20 scarves and sold them, raising more than $200 to give to Zac.
The little boy's mom Karen Butterfield told KSDK," We had been making these scarves and he just kind of said it would be cool if we could make a whole bunch of these and sell them."
When asked what friendship was, Vincent looked at his friend Zac and responded: "It's a beautiful thing."

A Northern Ireland team is leading the research for a thinking computer which can sense a user's moods(情绪)．Researchers at Queen's University in Belfast hope to complete the 10－million－euro project for an emotion－sensitive(感知情感功能的)computer within four years.
The aim is to make computers think and do things more like humans. And 160 researchers join in the project. The university's researchers made an agreement with the European Commission. The work may try to make “multi－modal interfaces (界面 )”which allow machines to sense and respond to the moods of the user.
Programme coordinator (协调者) Professor Roddy Cowie said while it sounded like science fiction，computers which responded to human feelings would appear.
“At the moment，our use of computers is limited by the fact that we need a keyboard and a screen to access(使用) them，”he said.
“But feelings are part of normal speech, and experience has shown that most users are deeply uncomfortable with speech interfaces that ignore them－too uncomfortable to use them very much.”
“If we can make computers more expressive, and also less challenging to use，there is a great chance to let people make full use of information technology.”
The emotion－sensitive computer would have its own “personality” and build a social relationship with the user.
“It's a fair bet that in 30 years' time, emotion－sensitive interfaces will be as much part of life as windows and mouse interfaces are now，”said Professor Cowie.
The project team believes such computers would play an important part in teaching and learning.

B. an emotion－sensitive computer cannot respond to the moods of the user
C. an emotion－sensitive computer has not been invented by the team
D. the research for an emotion－sensitive computer has not gained people's support
3.What does Professor Roddy Cowie think of the emotion－sensitive computer?
A. He thinks it is only a part of science fiction.
B. He thinks it is worth the research and it is easy to produce.
C. He believes it is impossible for the team to invent the emotion－sensitive computer.
D. He believes it can come into being.
