Another person s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.

    I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural (乡下的) Virginia. My father1me to her with these words: "I would like you to meet the fellow who is2for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no3than tomorrow morning.

    My stepmother walked over to me,4my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, "You are5.This is not the worst boy at all,6the smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet (释放的途径) for his enthusiasm."

    That statement began a (n)7between us. No one had ever called me smart, My family and neighbors had built me up in my8as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.

    She changed many things. She9my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father's career could be more10and my brother and I could be better11.

    When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand12and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I13it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her14and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of15that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life's work later. I wasn't the16beneficiary (受益者) .My father became the17man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.

    What power18has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one's purpose and is19strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible (不可抗拒的) force which poverty and temporary defeat can never20.

    You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.

    Many students tend to copy others' homework while the deadline comes, as is often the case. But nowadays, more students chose to hire someone to write to homework for them. Therefore, on-line ghostwriting has emerged to meet students' needs. In our surprise, parents make up a large part in those homework buyer.

    Too much homework may be main reason for ghostwriting phenomenon. Many students cannot finish their homework on time, but they do this to avoid the punishment of their teachers. Beside, poor sense of time makes this too late for students to finish homework before deadline.

    In my opinion, proper amount of homework and the cultivation of sense of time may help solving this problem.

    To personal trainer Sammy Callari, 13-year-old Parker Seward is more than a client(客户). He's his "little brother". Over the past year, the pair have bonded. They play basketball together, share meals and dance to hip-hop like no one's watching.

    The trainer was asked to work with the 13-year-old boy, who has Down syndrome(唐氏症), because his coworker who dealt with the boy was out of town last spring. Callari had never worked with someone with a disability before. He was anxious the first day he met Parker. But Parker's big smile and cheery introduction immediately put him at ease. He reminded Callari of himself when he was a teenager. Like Parker, Callari has also faced his fair share of challenges over the years.

    As a high schooler, Callari described himself as being the weak kid. When it came to sports, he was always overlooked. His dream of playing baseball in college quickly faded away. When he went to college, Callari turned to a new sport. His younger brother trained him to become a boxer. Callari participated in five matches. Out of four of those fights he was the underdog, and he won three times. "I know how it feels," Callari said. "Society tells you that you can't do this, you can't do that." When it comes to Parker, Callari refuses to accept the word "can't".

    The friends meet twice a week to train. They bike, box, run and work on their core with push-ups. Parker has a short attention span, so it's Callari's job to keep him focused. "If Parker can do it, if he's having fun, even with his frustration, then people will ask, "Why can't I do that?" Callari said. "That's the whole task right now."

    Callari recalls Parker's mom once thanking him for taking a "chance" on her son. Callari told her he never viewed it that way. Parker may be the student, but Callari says he's also the one who's learning.
