The normally confident Stemple was naturally getting very depressed. And then a friend gave her a medal. Before she got too sick to exercise, Stemple had been a marathon runner. The medal came from a racing partner who had just finished a half marathon in Las Vegas and hoped the souvenir would act as a kind of feeling pick⁃me⁃up. It worked like a charm—and then some.  After Stemple hung the medal near her hospital bed, other patients said they wanted medals too. That got Stemple thinking. “A medal is a simple way to give a positive message,” she told pilotonline.com. And so was born her charity, We Finish Together, which collects medals from strangers—runners, dancers, swimmers, singers, and even spelling bee winners and donates them to all sorts of people in need. Those who received the medals have included hospital patients, residents of homeless shelters, and veterans. Part of the process involves the donor writing a personalized note on the ribbon. “This gives them a connection to someone,” says Stemple. “If they receive a medal, they know someone cares.” Can a simple medal really make a difference? “Yes,” says Joan Musarra, who suffers from pulmonary fibrosis. “I opened my package containing my new medal and the notes of positive, warm thoughts. I was overwhelmed,” she wrote to Stemple. “At that moment, I was sitting on my couch breathing through life⁃support machine because my lungs have been worsening so badly. It means so much to me to feel that I am not alone.” 　　【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位特殊教育教师Kim Stemple在住院期间,收到一位朋友的奖章,这让她非常振奋,并受到启发,创立了自己的慈善组织——We Finish Together,这个组织通过给需要帮助的人发放奖章来鼓励他们。 好词　①positive adj. 积极的; 绝对的; ②charity n.慈善机构(或组织); 慈善; ③resident n.
