tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes (糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself
with insulin (胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death.
And if that weren"t bad enough, he had no health insurance.
After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he"d better find a way to fight back. He left Canton,
Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created
diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones-a place where over 1,100
people share personal stories, information, and resources.
Jason Swencki"s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online
children"s forums (论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says
Swencki, one of the site"s volunteers. "They know what he"s going through, so he doesn"t feel alone."
Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with
24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
These days, Thomas"s main focus is his charity (慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines and
supplies to people-225 to date-who can"t afford a diabetic"s huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about
$23,000-in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the
Caribbean.
Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still
doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding
a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar"s original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know
saying people need help now."
B. He studies the leading cause of diabetes.
C. He has a positive attitude to this disease.
D. He encourages diabetics by writing articles.
B. volunteers to find jobs
C. children to amuse themselves
D. rock stars to share resources.
B. benefits from diabeticrockstar.com

B. It organizes parties for volunteer once a year.
C. It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.

When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called "Brownie". My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around. One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up (咬破) one of my Dad"s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, "Bad girl," she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes. Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she"d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we"d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. He never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone. Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
