Last week，the World Health Organization said the flu is a“public health emergency（紧急情况）”．

    The book says that one simple act, no matter how small，call help someone in need．It may even influence other teens to do something.

    Nathan Anthony, a junior student at Enoch’s High School in Modesto，California, US agrees．”It is impossible to get anything in life without giving something to someone or making an effort at school or work, ”Anthony said．

    Another Enoch’s junior, Arianne Mote，has the same opinion．”Giving is our way of repaying those who help us，”she said。”Whether it is a helping hand or a donation（捐赠）：we should help others to improve their lives．”

But how often do teens see peers helping a stranger or doing something？ According to Anthony, not a lot. Mote and he both believe this needs lo change.

"Humor is also a great tool," Anthony' said. "It can help us a lot when we face some  embarrassment （尴尬） and it is a good way to solve some problems."

So whether you're helping to find a cure for cancer or simply smiling at a stranger, do something every day to help change the world for the better.
