The holograms will show the band as they looked back to 1979, when ABBA was the biggest band around the world. And they won’t be the only band to have 3 to the stage via holograms. In 2018, Freddie Mercury appeared in hologram form alongside Queen in Las Vegas, even though he died more than 25 years ago.

There are various ways we can help people in need. Big charity organizations commonly deliver food to hungry people, build homes for the homeless and volunteer at local charity centres.
1 , there is a new way to help poor people living in distance, and that is by giving money to them directly.
Since 2012, the charity organization Give—Directly has been studying the 2 of direct money support to poor Kenyans (肯尼亚人). The charity gives them a one—year budget, spread over several months. They can spend the money on whatever they need, and they never have to pay it back! When Give—Directly tracked how the money was being used, they were glad to find that the Kenyans were using the money 3 .
Many of the families spent the money on new metal roofs to take the place of their old grass roofs. While grass roots need 4 several times a year, metal roofs last longer and save money. Some bought land and cows from farming or started small businesses such as buying a used motorcycle to transport people around like a taxi. This helped them to have more money for food, clothing and health care and give their children an education.
The studies on giving money directly to poor Kenyans are going on. Some people are 5 that some of the families will waste the money or simply become dependent on these donations. Although it’s hard to tell if it is a good idea to give them direct money support, we can all agree that it is a 6 way of helping others.

Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to be wrong, and nothing seemed to be right? Not too long ago I was having one of those days. I was sad and 1 . My focus was on me. After all, no one else was experiencing the same problems as I was.
I expressed my sad state to my mother, hoping for some pity. 2 , she said, “I heard Jamie was having a difficult day too.Why don’t you make her some cookies and take them to her this afternoon?”
I didn’t really want to, but 3 that I didn’t want to go back to my other problems just yet. I made the cookies and put them on a little plate. Then I made a card with a sunflower on it and wrote a small and sweet note.
That afternoon I visited my friend’s house. I went to the door and rang the bell. Soon, Jamie came to the door and looked at me 4 because she didn’t expect my visit. Before she could say anything, I rushed, “I heard you were having a hard day and I made a decision to bring you something. I hope your day goes better.” I couldn’t describe the look that came over Jamie’s 5 properly. It was as if(好像) a dark sky suddenly shone with the golden rays(光线) of the sun; it was as if in that small act, her day became 6 .
I got back into the car and for some amazing reason, I felt a lot better myself. That day I experienced the truth that “those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.”
