“Never give up!” It is my law(法则) of my life. It has brought me 16 . I learned the law from my father’s 17 story.
My father was 18 in a poor village in the north of Jiangsu, in China. When he was a young boy, he went to school in the morning, then 19 in the fields till sunset. And then he did his homework 20 midnight. Life was hard, because they had no 21 !
At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the land of gold, the land where 22 people can become rich.
“ 23 don’t I go to America?” he thought to himself, full of hope.
So , my father came to America. “ I had thought it was easy to 24 money in America,” he told me. “But when I arrived there, I realized it was not true. They did not like to hire（雇佣） me because I spoke 25 English. Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables, 26 dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was 27 for the first few years. I worked from 10a.m to 11p.m. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn’t 28 the schooling(学费).
My father 29 working hard, and reached his goal.
“Alan,” he often says to me, “If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up. Things do not come 30 in life.” That is what I learned from my father.

The class teacher thought that hobbies were important for children. So she encouraged all her students to have one, and sometimes she arranged hobby shows for their parents to see as a result.
One morning the teacher told the class to have a holiday and get their hobby things to school before 5p.m. A hobby show would be held the following afternoon.
So in the afternoon, the students with nothing to show did their lessons at school as usual, while the lucky ones had a holiday to go home for their hobby works.
When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. “I don’t believe Tommy has a hobby,” she thought. However, at a quarter to five, Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection of butterflies in glass cases. The teacher liked the samples(标本) very much and put them on a desk in the classroom. But, to her surprise, Tommy picked them up again and began to leave.
“What are you doing, Tommy?” she asked. “Those things must stay here until tomorrow afternoon. That’s when the parents are coming to see them.”
“I know that,” answered Tommy, “and I will bring them back tomorrow, but my big brother doesn’t want them to be out of our house at night.”
“But, aren’t the butterflies yours?” asked the teacher.
“No,” answered Tommy. “They are my brother’s”
“But Tommy, you should show your own hobby here, not somebody else’s”
“I know that,” answered Tommy. What surprised her most was the answer, “My hobby is watching my brother collecting butterflies.”

Dear Jenny,
How’s it going? Are you busy with your study these days?
I’ve been back at school 41 nearly four weeks. I’m very glad to tell you that great 42 have taken place in our school this term. First of all, we’re asked to “clear our plates” when having our meals and say 43 to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to 44 the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we 45 the classroom. And our school has opened up some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class is given a small garden and our class has decided to grow some tomatoes and beans( 豆类) in our 46 time. I think that’ll be very interesting. Maybe I’ll be able to 47 you some beans we’ve grown by ourselves next time! What’s more, we have only two classes in the afternoon 48 we have more time for after-school activities. I’m one of the traffic safety volunteers in our school. After school, we take turns to go to the streets near our school and ask people to 49 the traffic rules.
I think we are having a different school life now!
Please write back soon and tell 50 more about your school.
Yours,
Wang Wei

Kindergartens( 幼儿园 ) may teach you very important things you need to know. Dancy, a 5-year-old boy, saved his father’s life with the skills he learned.
The boy’s father became seriously ill on the way home from a father-son shopping. He couldn’t speak and could hardly move, but he tried hard to stop the car safely. At that point, Dancy used his father’s phone to call his mother for help. The 5-year-old boy tried his best to give her useful information and he was able to tell where they were. Just as he had learned in the kindergarten, Dancy read the letters he saw on a nearby store sign: “F,U,R,N,I,T,U,R,E.” But that wasn’t enough for his mother to find them. Then he added that they were near a bridge. Finally, his mother understood he was talking about a store called Furniture 22 on New Jersey’s Route22.The mother called 911 and the father was saved in time.
“He just thought his dad needed help,” Dancy’s mother told the reporter. She also pointed out that her husband was a hero, too. “ It is surprising for him to get off the highway ( 高速路 ) and get himself and his child to safety even when he was so sick,” she said.
Shine, head of the kindergarten, felt proud of his pupil. “ Dancy’s spelling skills helped him seize the moment,” he said. “And that’s the real value (价值 ) of education.”
