One day Peng Xianzhe learned he would go to the Mashan School in Guizhou.The16yearold boy tried to imagine how serious the drought was for the students at that school.

However,he realized it was more serious than he had imagined when he saw the sign“DON?e10bTwash clothes with water,or you will be punished.”

Because of drought,the school has been short of water for a long time.Each student hasonly one bottle of water every day for washing and drinking.The drought has made the poorstudents much poorer.

Peng is a student from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School.He took part in theschool's Rain & Bow Project from April 2 to 10.

The project idea came from Peng's principal.One day,she heard a sad story about LiGuoxian,a poor girl in the Mashan School,who stopped going to school because of drought.

The principal started this project to help the school.In one day,3,000 students made over10,000 donations of water,books and clothes.

Peng and four other students went to the Mashan School and gave the donations with fiveteachers.They visited poor families,made surveys and had classes at the school.

Ding Zhentao,16,was worried about the school's poor learning environment.“Theblackboards and playground are too shabby(破旧不堪的) to use,”Ding said.“Besides,therereally aren't enough teachers.A teacher has to teach both history and English,and even thecook is a class teacher.”

Although life isn't easy,students at the school have a positive attitude(积极的态度)towards life and they are quite willing to learn.That's what moved 16yearold Chen Shi most.

During a football game,having a good goalkeeper(守门员) is important.A new study hasfound that what the goalkeeper wears is also important.

The study has found that when the goalkeeper is wearing red,the football player has fewerchances of making a goal(进球).

The colour red makes the football player nervous and it could make him play worse,according to sports experts.

Researchers at the University of Chichester,UK watched how football players played in atest.

They asked 40 university football players to take shots(射门) against the samegoalkeepers.Each football player took 10 shots against a goalkeeper wearing either a blue,yellow,green or red shirt.

On average(平均),the players got seven and a half goals when the goalkeeper waswearing a blue,yellow or green shirt.But only five goals went in when the goalkeeper worered.

The researchers believe that the colour red may have an influence on football players.

“People say red stands for danger or anger,”said Ian Greenlees,one of the researchers.

“Red is the colour of blood,which we don't often see until something bad happens.Red isusually used in traffic lights and other places to tell people that there is danger.”

“When people are under stress,they will pay more attention to danger.Red makes the football player nervous.”
