A
In Phoenix, Arizona, about one in five children is identified
with dyslexia (阅读障碍). That means about four students in a
classroom of twenty have the problem.
Christine Alm, who has the virtue of being ready to help others, is the cofounder of Dyslexia Road and the mother of four children with dyslexia. According to Alm, each diagnosis (诊断) is unique. That can make it difficult to understand a child's learning needs. Alm has recently cofounded Dyslexia Road with three other Moms whose children also have dyslexia.The nonprofit organization provides learning resources for children who have the learning disability.

Dyslexia means a person has trouble processing written words due to the difficulty of identifying speech sounds. Alm explains that people with dyslexia need more assistance in training their brain to read. But she adds that many people with dyslexia are extremely creative and smart. Whoopi Goldberg, Dav Pilkey and Steven Spielberg are among the famous Americans who have dyslexia.
For Alm, the biggest challenge dealing with dyslexia with her own children is the stigma surrounding the topic. She believes that it's helpful to have open and honest discussions. “Dyslexia is nothing good or bad,” she says.“So children don't need to feel shameful and embarrassed.”

Many people turned up, suggesting to Alm the “power of community”. Dyslexia Road will also host three additional events to connect families with learning experts. Guests will discuss the available educational options, how to get a diagnostic evaluation and more. Additionally, the Dyslexia Road website offers resources like books.

B
Babusha, or “eightstep sands”, got its name because the desert was always just eight steps away from the farmers' doors. Today, the desert's southward movement has been stopped thanks to a green belt planted in the last 40 years by Guo Wangang and his colleagues. As a result, Guo was named a National Moral Model in 2020.
Guo is only part of the second generation of “soldiers” to fight against the desert. His father was one of the six men who first began planting trees in Babusha. When Guo's father fell ill in 1983, he hoped that his son would follow in his footsteps.

Guo remembers being reluctant to give up his stable government job. “My father repeatedly stressed that we had to make sure our farms weren't eaten by the desert,” Guo said, adding that he eventually agreed to work at the farm because he didn't want to see the trees die.
However, it was the deadly sandstorm in 1993 that turned Guo into a determined “soldier”. The fast moving brown wall of dust reached high into the sky and turned day into night. Guo was working in the desert with his colleagues when it hit. They only managed to get home after trekking for six hours in darkness. Later, he learned that 23 students were found dead in a river as they tried to get home from school during the sandstorm.

Since then, Guo and his colleagues have continued planting trees every spring and fall, pruning (修剪) them in winter and watching out for fire. Their struggle continues. Today more and more young people have joined with scientific and innovative methods. For example, the farm now is subsidized (资助) by Ant Forest, a public welfare project launched by the ecommerce giant, Alibaba. It rewards users with virtual energy in exchange for lowcarbon activities, which can then be used to do things, like having trees planted.

“We need more such young people to help us find other advanced and engineering methods for desertification control,” said Guo Wangang.
