I live in a big city with a lot of homeless(无家可归的) people. Luckily there're small ways of helping them and you needn't have a lot of 1.
One way to help is to buy their monthly magazine. 2 doing this one day, I got to 3 a young homeless man, He was often 4 the magazine at the train station.
He was a poor farmer from another country. After a while, I found that his 5 was close to mine. It 6 that we were born in the same month.
I met him last year 7 after his birthday, and after congratulating him, without 8, I asked if he had had a good day. He 9 and said he hadn't really celebrated. I felt so 10.
I just couldn't think of this nice, young man being 11 on his 25th birthday with no presents, no cake, nothing! So I went home and looked in my yarn（纱线） basket. 12 for me, I had enough yarn 13. I set to work and knitted（编织） a 14 for the young man. The yarn had become a little dirty 15 I didn't knit very often. Then I washed the yarn so the scarf would be 16 when he got it.
I met him on my own birthday as I was going shopping. I had 17 to meet him so I had 18 the scarf and a piece of my own birthday 19 around with me. He was very happy with these gifts and so was I. The 20 in his eyes was the best present he could have given me!
I had been staring at the white walls of the video game store for about 2 hours since lunch. It was a very 1 day. I glanced at the table in front of the store, and my heart 2. It was the donation table for the victims of Typhoon Yolanda and even though I had donated what I could, I 3 felt sad whenever I saw the people on the TV suffering.I was broken out of my 4 when the doors got open. Customers, 5 !
She was a small girl about 10 or 11. Her mother was accompanying her with a few plastic bags. I 6 her mom. When I was selling cigarettes on the street, I saw her selling clothes she7herself at the market.
The daughter just had a 8 and her mom finally had 9 money to buy a PS3 and some games.
The girl half-jogged, half-skipped to my counter. She 10 her backpack and pulled out a console(操纵板). Her mom handed me the bag full of games.
“Can I 11 this?”
“Sure sweetie, no problem.”
I inspected the console and the games, and nothing was opened. According to our 12 , I returned the 13 to the mom. She handed it to the girl. And the girl ran off as fast as her little feet could take her. I was about to ask when the mom, seeing my 14 , explained, “She wants to sell her birthday 15 , so she can donate to the 16 .”
She was 17to give up what was supposed to be hers and gave to those 18 . That's real generosity out there.
19 I was watching her talking to the girl at the donations table, I was reminded that even though there are a lot of 20 people in the world, there are still those people just like that little girl.
While attending a conference, I returned to my hotel room late one evening. The overhead light outside my door was burned out and I had 1 finding the keyhole. When I 2 to open the door, I 3 around the wall for a light switch. I found a plate where a switch was 4 installed... but no switch!
Not discouraged easily, I remembered 5 a lamp by the bed when I laid my luggage 6 in the day. I found the bed in7and then the lamp, but when I switched it on, nothing 8! I thought that perhaps if I opened the curtains I might be able to use whatever light comes in from the 9 to find another lamp. So I 10 my way slowly across the room to the curtains and... no drawstring! I finally stumbled（跌跌撞撞地走）around 11 I found a desk lamp which actually 12!
That evening I discovered in a whole new way just how dark the world 13be and how necessary light is! But even more necessary than 14 light is the light that shines from people — the light of 15 and faith. Because, for many people, the world is a dark and 16 place . For someone today just may be stumbling in discouragement or sadness or fear and in 17of some light . So let your light shine. Whatever light you 18 may be a beacon of hope and encouragement. And if you feel that your light is 19 a candle in a forest remember — there isn't enough darkness in all the world to 20 the light of one small candle.
I quit my office job in 2012. At that time, a strong sense of 1bothered me. I didn't have a clue what I wanted to do with my life. So I committed myself to2. I took acting classes, traveled, volunteered on farms, and so forth. After a period of time, I realized my problem had 3changed. My idea bank was full of4. I had countless ideas for what I could perform to 5 a meaningful life. However, the number of the choices I had made me 6. Being passionate about so many things, I didn't know what I should 7to find a way forward.
By chance, I read a book written by Stephen Covey, in which he 8that people “begin with the end in mind” when they need to make choices. The idea means knowing your final goal 9, and then you can more10 make the choices and take the steps 11to reach your goal. Thanks to Covey, I knew what I should 12. I showed an interest in 13 at an early age, and hoped to make a difference some day. So my interest14my final goal. And fortunately, after about two years of effort, now I have devoted myself to this15work—a professional dancer.
In daily life, a large number of people may have the same 16— not knowing which to choose when they have lots of 17 for many things. According to my own experience, I have realized that in order to 18the uncertainty about choosing, knowing the final goal first really matters. Not only did it help me know 19 what I should pursue, but it also functioned as a firm belief that 20me to take action to make it.
In the week before Christmas, one Delta airlines pilot gave a sad Arizona family a gift that no one else could.
Father of three, Jay short died after a 1with lung cancer Dec, 16th. Three days later, his family was attempting to 2to Tennessee for the funeral scheduled for the next morning. But a 90-munite 3at the Phoenix airport 4them only seven minutes to make their connecting flight in Minnesota. “This was our 5chance to say goodbye to my dad, and if we hadn't 6the flight, we would have missed the 7.” Jay's daughter said. But when they arrived at the gate, the last plane of the day to Memphis was 8away from the gate.

Airline experts pointed out Cohen could have 14gotten into trouble for the 15decision, but Delta 16the move instead. “This is 17we'll take with us, knowing we made a 18.” confirmed Adam.

During the fifth grade, I was often bullied(欺凌) by a boy.1I told it to my teacher. Kyle's bullying never stopped. I was very2and full of hate until he went to another school the next year.
One night in eighth grade I3again the bullying Kyle had put me through. I waited for the rush of anger I'd always4when thinking about Kyle,5none came. I tried again, thinking about the marks he'd6so many times on the tops of my feet, the words, the pain…but I felt no hate for him.7I felt a small beating of pity inside my heart. This boy, who had8my fifth grade experience, had probably been9his own troubles then. He was obviously10at the world and maybe he was simply taking that11out on me. It was no excuse for what he did, but it was a12.
I felt as if I had an13understanding. Being angry with Kyle for what he had done was like drinking poison. By holding my hate for Kyle14. I was only hurting myself. That night, I15to let old wounds heal(愈合), and I forgave(宽恕) my fifth grade bully.
In letting go of that pain, I felt great16. I wasn't letting a three-year-old incident17me. In that way, I guess forgiveness is the most18tool humans have been blessed with. Because, with it, we can let go of19burdens and truly live our own lives. Who knew an eleven-year-old boy could20me that?
Children with learning disabilities (LD) often have problems. For many, strong 1 of anger, shame, sadness, or disappointment can 2 psychological difficulties such as anxiety, depression or low self-esteem.
These problems can be far more than the 3 challenges themselves.
Several heading experts in the field of LD have offered suggestions on ways to help 4 children from these problems.
To be most effective in supporting 5 , it can help to understand some primary 6 for the psychological and emotional challenges they may face.
First, it is not difficult to see 7 children with LD are at greater risk for developing psychological difficulties if one considers the repeated failure they 8 . Although they make efforts to “try harder,” children with LD may receive little 9 feedback（反馈）. Their academic struggles and failures are often met with 10 by teachers, peers and parents. Such disapproval can take the form of unpleasant labeling（标签）of a child 11 “slow,” “lazy” or “dumb.” 12 developing a sense of pride in their accomplishments, children with LD may 13 in disappointment and shame. Low self-esteem and a lack of confidence only 14 prevent learning and academic success.
The second reason is the 15difficulties they often experience. Research indicates that as many as 75% of kids with LD have such 16 as making and keeping friends. Children with LD are less 17 and often rejected by their peers. Teachers and other adults also may 18 to have negative views of them.
Such social rejection can result in 19 of self-esteem and feelings of loneliness, which, 20 , may lead to psychological difficulties such as anxiety and depression.
People often fall ill because of me.1, they can hardly blame me; it is largely their own2. A tired person may get3, especially when he goes to crowded places with polluted air. A sudden change in4is another factor. In hot summer, people turn on the air-conditioner upon returning home. They will catch a cold easily.
My latest victim(受害者) is an energetic student. After school, he played football hard for two hours. Though5, he still went to the cinema .Then he got back home and took a cold shower immediately. I seized this golden chance to6him. He reacted, trying to7me, but I was already8deep in his throat. He kept sneezing(打喷嚏) and his nose was running.9he put on some warm clothes, it didn't work, for there were too many of us. Besides, his sore throat kept10him, and he developed a cough to force me and my family out, but11.
The next day he couldn't go to12. He had lost his appetite and was not as13as before. His mother made him orange juice every few hours for more vitamin C, which would help his14.
For two days he was15by his mother. As he rested more, his defense strengthened and I began to feel the16. I knew I had to17him before long. But I am not the one who gives up easily, and I made every effort to fight back.18, it was my turn to feel19now, for his defense system was starting an all-out attack against me. I became20and finally my time was over.

From the nation's earliest days, farming has held a crucial place in the American economy and culture. Farmers play an important role in any society, of course, since they feed people. But farming has been particularly 1 in the United States with intensified attention from civilians and government as well.
Early in the nation's life, farmers were seen as exemplifying economic 2 such as hard work, perseverance, and self-sufficiency. Moreover, many Americans, particularly immigrants who may have never held any land in the country, found that owning a farm was the 3 to enter the American economic system. They were immediately playing a part in the country's economy.
The American farmer has generally been quite successful at producing food. Indeed, sometimes his success has created his biggest problem: the agricultural sector has suffered periodic explosions of overproduction that have 4 prices. When the government have to step in and 5 the worst of these events.
American farmers owe their ability to produce large yields to a number of factors. For one thing, they work under 6 natural conditions. The American Midwest has some of the richest soil in the world. Rainfall is 7 over most areas of the country; rivers and underground water permit extensive irrigation where it is not.
Increasing use of high-quality 8 labor also have contributed to the success of American agriculture. It is not unusual to see today's farmers 9 plows or harvesters. One farmer can manage large lands of farms. Fertilizers and pesticides are commonly used although some environmentalists 10 it. Computers track farm operations, and even 11 technology is utilized to find the best places to plant and fertilize crops. US agriculture is among the most advanced in the world.
Farmers still fight with forces beyond their control, 12. Despite its generally benign weather, North America also experiences frequent floods and droughts. Changes in the weather give agriculture its own economic cycles, often 13 the general economy. When negative factors hit farmers, calls for government assistance are particularly intense. In the 1930s, for instance, bad weather, and the Great Depression combined topush farms over the edge into a(n) 14 situation. The government responded with 15 agricultural reforms—most notably, a system of price supports, whose significance toward the large-scale campaign lasted for many years.
I was walking down a dimly (昏暗) lit street late one evening when I heard 1 coming from behind bushes. 2 I slowed down to listen and panicked when I realized that what I was hearing were the sounds of a struggle. Only yards from where I stood, a woman was being attacked.
Should I get 3?
I was frightened for my own safety, and I hated 4 for having suddenly decided to take a(n) 5 route home that night. "What if I'm hurt too? Shouldn't I just run to the nearest phone and call the police?" Although it felt like a century, my thought process had only 6 seconds.
But already the cries were growing 7.
I knew I had to act fast. "How could I walk away from this?" I asked myself.
"No", I finally resolved (决心), I could not turn my 8 on the fate of this unknown woman, 9 it means 10 my own life.
I am not a brave man, nor am I 11. I don't know where I found the moral courage and physical strength, but 12 I had finally decided to help the girl, I became suddenly changed.
I ran behind the bushes and 13 the attacker off the woman. Struggling, we fell to the ground, 14 we fought for a few minutes until the man jumped up and escaped.
15 heavily, I got to my feet and 16 the girl, who was sobbing behind a tree. In the darkness, I could certainly 17 her trembling shock. Not wanting to frighten her any further, I at first spoke to her from a 18.
"It's OK," I said soothingly. "The man ran away. You're safe now."
There was a long pause and then I heard the words, uttered (说) in 19.
"Dad, is that you?"
And then, from behind the tree, 20 my youngest daughter, Katherine.
God has a way of allowing us to be in the right place at the right time.
Sarah, a classical dancer from India, had to have her right leg cut after a car accident. She was also 1 on her career（事业） road.
Though the accident brought her bright career to a 2, she didn't give up. In the 3 months that followed, Sarah met a doctor who developed an artificial (人造的) 4 made from rubber filled with sponge (海绵). So 5 she wanted to go back to 6 after she had been fitted with an artificial leg. Sarah knew that she believed in 7and could realize her dream, 8 she began her courageous journey back to the world of dancing 9to balance, bend, stretch, walk, turn, twist and twirl.
After every public recital (个人表演), she 10 ask her dad about her performance. "You 11 have a long way to go" was the answer she used to get 12. In January 1984, Sarah made a historic13by giving a public recital in Bombay. She performed in such a great manner that it 14everyone to tears and this 15 pushed her to the number one position again. That evening when she asked her dad the 16question, he didn't say anything. He just touched her feet as a praise.
Sarah's comeback was 17 moving that a film producer 18 to make the story into a hit film. When someone asked Sarah how she had 19 to dance again, she said quite simply, "YOU DON'T NEED FEET TO DANCE." 20is impossible in this world. If you have the will to win, you can achieve anything.
After I graduated from the university, I got so pressured in finding a job. I did a lot of1both online and handing in person to a particular company. It occurred, one day I went to2my CV (履历)to a certain company and I wanted to meet the human resource manager in person because I believed it was the best3than leaving my CV at the reception.
Unfortunately, in this company the4did not allow me to see the human resource manager and5asked me to just leave the CV with her and that she would6it. I was really7since I knew she wouldn't do that and my CV will just be thrown in the trash can, I thought so because it usually8a lot in some other companies. So I just left with my head9and never thought about it again since I knew I would never get any10from the company.
Weeks passed and one day I received a call from a（an）11number and guess what… it was the human resource manager of that same company. I was really shocked since I did not12it at all. So he said he received my CV and that he would13it.
I was so happy and felt bad at the same time for14the receptionist the other day. This humbled me and it was a15to believe in people and not assume things just because of the norm.
I was working as a lifeguard at Tower 15 on Newport Beach and two blocks to my right was another guard named Mike, working at Tower 17. He called me over the phone and said, "Hey, I have 1 two kids who are swimming in the dangerous zone. I have to give them a warning. Keep an eye on us." I said "Sure." In case of 2 , anytime we got out of our tower, we were supposed to 3 somebody else.
Mike hung up the phone and 4 the lifebuoy(救生圈). Then he realized that these two kids had been 5 and that there was a great tendency for them to be 6 by the wave. 7, Mike rushed toward the ocean. I 8 the water and all I found was two small heads. The mother of the two kids knelt down on the beach with 9.
When I dropped my binoculars (望远镜) and reached the mother, Mike was in waist-deep water, 10 the two kids. I turned to the mum and said, "Hey, it's OK. They are safe." I saw the terror started to 11. Then she glanced back and got her first good look at Mike. A new kind of 12 washed over her face as though there was another threat to her kids' lives. She snatched (抢) her kids without 13.
Mike had some seemingly 14 behavior, and his shaved head showed a scar. Maybe he had no 15 manners, but his lifesaving ability 16 his unsatisfactory skills in PR (public relation). In the mother's 17, Mike was a really terrible guy. However, that couldn't change the fact that he had just 18 her kids.
Mike just glanced at me and smiled. As I jogged back to my tower, I promised myself I'd never let my own 19 prevent me from 20 a hero when I meet one.

The Gift of Forgiveness
The summer I turned 16, my father gave me his old 69 Chevy Malibu convertible (敞篷车) — a gift wasted on me at that age. What did I know about classic cars? For me, the important thing was that Hannah and I could 1 around Tucson with the top down.
Hannah was my best friend, a year younger but much 2, almost five foot ten. "Hannah's a knockout," my mother always said. And sure enough, that summer she 3 with a modeling agency, doing runway work.
A month after my birthday, Hannah and I went to the movies. On the way home, we 4 at the McDonald's drive-through, putting the fries in the space between us to 5. "Let's ride around a while," I said. It was a clear night, hot, full moon hanging low over the desert. Taking a turning too 6, I ran over some dirt and fishtailed. I then moved quickly through a neighbor's landscape wall and drove into a full-grown palm tree. The front wheel came to rest halfway 7 the tree trunk.
There were French fries on the floor, the dash (仪表盘) and my lap. An impossible amount of 8 was on Hannah's face. We were taken in separate ambulances. In the emergency room, my parents spoke quietly: "Best plastic surgeon in the city…but it is more likely the 9 of her modeling career…"
We'd been wearing lap belts, 10 the car didn't have shoulder belts. I'd broken my cheekbone on the steering wheel; Hannah's 11 had split wide open on the dash. What would I say to her?
When her mother, Sharon, came into my hospital room, I started to cry, preparing myself for her 12. She sat beside me and took my hand. "I drove into the back of the car of my best friend when I was your age," she said. "I completely 13 her car and mine."
"I'm so sorry," I said.
"You're both 14," she said. "Everything else doesn't matter." I started to explain, and Sharon stopped me. "I 15 you. Hannah will too."
Sharon's forgiveness allowed Hannah and me to get back in the car together that summer, to stay 16 throughout high school and college, to be in each other's weddings. I think of her gift of forgiveness every time I tend to feel angry about someone for his 17. The scars are now 18 and no one else would notice, but in the sunlight I can still 19 the faint, shiny skin just below her hairline — for 20, a sign of forgiveness.
I'd like to share a story from over 25 years ago that changed my life. During a vacation trip to California, I managed to 1 some time to stay with family friends in northern California but that meant in the short time I needed to find my way to the bus station, some 30 miles away. Being a poor student, I had little 2 to get there.
I tired to call various 3 but they were all too 4 to pick me up. Then, I got one person on the phone who 5 to transport me with limited 6! He came to pick me up about 45 minutes later. The driver was 7 and I remember wondering 8 the taxi didn't have a meter. The driver was so kind. He knew I was upset so he 9 me with stories and good conversation. He said I looked like his 10.
At one point, I asked him why he 11 so little compared to the others. Then, he explained that he was actually 12 and hadn't 13 his number from the phone book. When I called, clearly 14, he felt that he should come to help.
This man drove an hour to help a 15 he didn't know for a fee that barely covered his gas, if that! This man's 16 warms my heart every time I think of him. 17, I didn't get his name and his face has since faded from my memory. But he is on my 18 often and I wish I could thank him 19." Thank you Mr. Angel Taxi-Man! I hope your granddaughter knows what a 20 grandfather she has!"
I am an imaginative girl. I have always been 1 about the future just like the great novelist, Liu Cixin.
What will life be like in the future? What will happen to humans and other living things? When I was a little girl, I often thought about these questions and drew 2 of my imaginary future life in my album.
How will people in the future 3? Perhaps there will be cities underground, in the air or in the sea, where there will be new kinds of 4 like underground express trains, airships and undersea trains. With 5 technology, we may even be able to fly on a broom, just like Harry Potter.
Living conditions will also certainly 6 . Just imagine such a house in 7 it feels like spring all year because of an intelligent thermostat. All complicated and boring chores will be8 by a robot.
As for travel, it may be possible to travel through time and space freely. What if there were time machines to travel to any time in history? If I could 9a time machine, I would go to the age of dinosaurs and take them to the 10. By that time, more and more people would 11 dinosaurs as pets—you might even see people walk dinosaurs in the streets.
Maybe one day, riding flying dinosaurs to fly to schools in cities in the sky will be common. All kinds of creatures will work and play with us. What a harmonious world it will be!
However, as science and technology 12, pollution may become more serious, and then people will need to 13 new planets to live on. At the same time, human beings may 14become too dependent on science and technology, but I'm 15 that we can solve these problems step by step.
Comfort food is something everyone can appreciate.1simply for our bodies, comfort food nourishes(滋养) the soul and spirit. Now, Spencer is taking the2to a new level. She is beginning to 3 comfort food to those in need.
A flood has brought stress and food 4 to tables where it's never been felt before, but it's also5 the opportunity to be able to give back in ways that are immediate and meaningful. Last week Spencer6 generous donation(捐赠) on his son Bill's 7th birthday. It 7 his birthday celebration from "doubtful" to "great". Spencer had an idea to 8 that kindness further.
Immediately the mother of three 9 $600 buying food for eight strange people. "I just wanted to bring people10,"Spencer said. Not being11, she was in position both to give and receive. However, from her mom's positive example Bill learned to 12 what he received. "We've been on both sides of the range," she said. "It's not good 13 when you don't know where to get food for your kids and where your next 14is."
Spencer's acts of kindness were15 by the public because a sharp-eyed store employee16 the good deeds and posted them to social media. This week Spencer will further17the love by supplying holiday meals to two families in need in her community but she isn't 18 there. She says she also plans to19 her kind acts when she can, and hopes that others who see her story will be 20 to do the same.
My mom and dad got divorced when we were young kids, so we lived at different families. After we grew up, my three siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I could go years1 speaking. And that is where this story2 .
My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months 3 , but by the time we were teenagers we had lost 4 . By age 19, I had moved away from our home in Wisconsin to live on my father's horse farm in Virginia. We lived separate and our connection somehow ended.
Fast-forward (快进) about five years, I was 24 and on a 5 with my fiancé (未婚夫) to New York City, a place I had never been to.
During a day of sightseeing, we were crossing a very6 street loaded with people. I had laughed at something my fiancé said, and I 7 heard my name yelled from somewhere around me: "Cheryl!" I 8 in my steps in the middle of the road. Tears 9 in my eyes. I knew without a 10 that it was my sister Jeanne. I yelled back before even turning to look. "Jeanne?" It was her.
I later asked how she'd known it was me — she had 11 seen me since we lost in touch! She said it was my12 . I wouldn't say my laugh is all that 13 , but I guess to a family member it's infectious (有感染力的). It 14 your heart and resonates (共鸣) in your mind.
Since that time, my sister and I have never been 15 . We both moved back to Wisconsin. We 16 daily. Many years have passed, and we are now in our 50s. But our reunion 17 wasn't just a sign. I see it as more of a/an 18 , a reminder(提醒) not to lose touch with loved ones. It is so easy to remain 19 . After our20 of gathering, I don't plan to let that happen again.
British Cycling had recently hired Dave Brailsford as its new director. At the time, professional cyclists in Great Britain had1 nearly one hundred years of mediocrity (平庸). In fact, their performance had been so poor that one of the top bike companies in Europe 2 to sell bikes to the team because they were afraid that it would hurt sales if other professionals saw the Brits using their bikes.
What made Brailsford different from previous coaches was his philosophy of searching for a tiny improvement in everything they do. The whole principle came from the idea that if you 3 everything you could think of that goes into riding a bike, improve it by 1 percent and you will get a 4 increase when you put them all together.
Brailsford and his coaches began by making small 5. They redesigned the bike seats to make them more comfortable. They asked riders to wear electrically heated overshorts to 6 ideal muscle temperature while riding and used biofeedback sensors to 7 how each athlete responded to a particular workout.
But they didn't stop there. They 8 to find 1 percent improvements in overlooked areas. They hired a(n) 9 to teach each rider the best way to wash their hands to reduce the 10 of catching a cold. They even painted the inside of the team truck white, which helped them 11 little bits of dust that would normally slip by 12 but could affect the performance of the 13 tuned bikes.
As these and hundreds of other small improvement 14, the results came faster than anyone could have 15. Just five years after Brailford took over, they dominate the road and truck cycling events in all the important events.
