The Picture of Peace

When Mike was seven, he knew his dream was to be a photographer.  He kept working on it for years. Recently, he was trying to take a picture of a sunset( 日落 ) to enter the school 1 competition.

“Mom, it has been cloudy these days.  I don’t think I can get this picture!” Mike complained.

“Why not use one of your photos on the computer?” suggested Mom.

“I can’t—the rules say the photos have to be taken with a traditional camera. We hand in a roll of film, it gets developed( 冲洗胶卷 ) , and we 2 one photo for the competition. ”

“Why is a sunset so important? ” Mom asked.

“The 3 of the competition is peace,” Mike explained, “and I feel most peaceful seeing a sunset.”

Zach, his six-year-old brother came out of the bedroom. “Hey, you want to take a picture of me? Look! ” He put both arms over his head.

“Not right now,” said Mike, laughing.

That very afternoon, Mike felt excited when he saw clear skies. He carefully lined up his shot( 镜头 ) and waited 4 till the sun reached the ground.

“That’s it! Perfect!” he shouted cheerfully.

The next morning, Mike noticed he could take one more picture to complete the roll of film, so he walked into Zach’s room. Zach was 5 quietly with a teddy bear under his arm. Mike didn’t wake Zach up, and carefully took a picture of him.

A week later, Mike got the photos. The sunset picture was the one he was most 6 to see. There it was! It was as nearly perfect as Mike had expected.

Then, he looked through the other photos. Suddenly, he stopped. His eyebrows( 眉毛 ) rose as he 7 the photo of Zach. He looked back at the photo of the sunset, which seemed less perfect now. He 8 the two choices. Finally, he decided to hand in the photo of Zach for the competition.

Blue Lightning

Sally loved cars more than anything else. This spring she thought of building a go-kart to enter for the Go-Go Race. So she asked her dad for help.

“Well,” he said. “How about this: you do some research first and then come back to me with a design.”

A week later, Sally brought her notes and drawings to Dad. She named her go-kart “Blue Lightning”. Dad looked over her work, thinking. “Well, that’s interesting,” he said. “Have a try. Just build Blue Lightning as you’ve designed.”

Over three weekends of hard work, Sally turned her design into a real, working go-kart and painted it light blue. Dad asked her to take it for a test drive. Sally agreed.

After she did that, Sally drove back to Dad. “Well,” she said. “Now I know why you wanted me to have a test drive.”

“Oh, do you?” he said. “Please share.”

“When I drove fast, there was a lot of pushback,” she said. “I think it’s because of the lightning bolt (闪电) shape.”

“Very good!” Dad said. 

“So, why didn’t you tell me about that problem in the first place?” Sally asked.

Dad laughed. “Where’s the fun in that? If you give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. But if you teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime.”

Sally said, “I see. Anyway, designing is half the fun !”

Dad smiled. “Good. Sometimes, learning happens during the process. We learn how to do something right by doing it a few times first and making mistakes along the way.”

That encouraged Sally and she worked even harder. When she showed Dad her new go-kart, he nodded with pride.

Finally came the race. Sally wasn’t worried about whether she would win—in her mind, she had already won, by building something better than ever before.

Dear Principal,

I think the students in our school should wear uniforms. Many schools already have them. Uniforms will help our families save money, since we would have to buy only one or two uniforms for the whole year. Uniforms could also give us more pride in our school. And best of all, if we all wore uniforms, kids wouldn’t tease each other about their clothes.

I know some students think uniforms are ugly and uncomfortable. But maybe we can pick a uniform that everyone likes. I think this is a wonderful idea for our school.

Sincerely,

Justin Jones
