① On Friday, January 14, 2005, my cousin, Kara Rose, came into the world. ② She looked perfectly healthy from the outside, but on the inside, the doctors had failed to discover a serious problem. ③ She often had trouble breathing and then turned blue. ④ The doctors found that Kara had been born without part of her heart. ⑤ They didn’t think she would live long enough to leave the hospital. ⑥ When she was four days old, she had her first operation. ⑦ My family stayed together during this hard time, hoping everything would turn out for the best.

Kara’s strength and determination to live were strong. Eventually, she could go home. We all waited patiently for new technology that could give Kara a new heart. When she was eighteen months old, her parents took her to a famous surgeon who performed a series of operations. There was no guarantee she would make it through the operation, but she succeeded.

Kara grew stronger every day, and it was not long before she was well enough to be around people. She had an amazing character and always wore a sweet smile. When she fell asleep against my body, happy and content, I realized how valuable life really is.

Looking for a new way to have fun? For inspiration, check out these festivals. Some may seem wild, and others strange, but they are all fun. La Tomatina!

Warning: Anybody in Bunol, Spain, on the last Wednesday of August should prepare to get wet with tomatoes! Every year on this day, around 30,000 tourists join 9,000 people living in Bunol to take part in the world’s largest tomato fight. La Tomatina, or “the tomato party,” is the last event of a weeklong festival in honor of Bunol’s patron saint（守护神）San Luis Bertran.

One of the few rules participants(参加者) must follow: Crush the tomato before throwing it.

Elephant Round Up Show

Elephants playing soccer? Believe it or not, every November in Surin, Thailand, elephants do play soccer as part of the Elephant Round-Up Show. The “round-up” starts with a parade of over 100 elephants from newborns to grown-ups, well-trained animals. The elephants then take part in soccer, log-carrying and other games that show off their strength and intelligence for the crowd. The event concludes with a mock battle, showing how elephants were used in war years ago. Makepung

People commonly race cars, horse and dogs, but who’s heard of racing bulls? In Bali, Indonesia, however, Makepung, or bull racing, is an event held weekly between July and October. Visitors can watch as teams of two bulls get decorated and then race around a 2 km dirt track（跑道）. Famer “jockeys” stand on a wooden cart behind the bulls, controlling them with a rope around their necks. As many as 300 teams take part in the races every year, and championship races are held at the end of the Makepung season. Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling

Every May in Britain, you will find some men and women run, stumble and fall down a steep, 230-meter-long hill --- and all for a piece of cheese! “Cheese Rolling” has been taking place on Cooper’s Hill for over 200 years. The race begins when a 3.5 kg, wheel-shaped thick piece of Double Gloucester cheese is rolled down the hill. Up to 20 competitors then run after it. The cheese, which can reach speeds of over 100 km/h, is rarely caught. But the first competitor to reach the bottom of the hill walks home with the cheese, as well as any injuries gained along the way.
