boy, I was so shy that I dare not talk to anyone. My classmates often laughed at me. I was sad but could
do nothing. Later, something happened, and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My English
teacher asked me to take part in it. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and
students of my school!
"Come on, boy, believe in yourself. You are sure to win." Then my teacher and I talked about many
different topics. At last I chose the topic "Believe in yourself." I tried my best to remember all the speech
and practiced it over 100 times. With my teacher"s great love, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe
my ears when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers from the teachers and students.
Those classmates who once looked down on me, now all said"Congratulations!" to me. My teacher hugged
(拥抱) me and cried excitedly.
Since then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell myself to be sure and I will
find myself. This is true not only for a person but also for a country.

and we spent a lot of time playing by the sea, swimming and surfing. One day, we were on a beach just south
of a city called Cairns. My little sister was looking for shells in the sand down near the waves when she shouted
to me, "Hey, Lan! Look what I"ve found!" I ran down to have a look, and saw her pointing at a strange black
object that was half buried (掩埋) in the sand, "What is it?" she asked. I said I didn"t know.
Just then, my father came over, "Are you enjoying yourselves, you two?" he asked. Then he saw the strange
black thing. "What"s that?" he said, bending down to take a closer look. Suddenly, he said, "Quick kids, get away
from here. Go and play somewhere else."
We went and played further down the beach, while Dad ran up to the shop near the beach to make a phone
call. About 20 minutes later, we heard the noise of cars and trucks arriving, and a lot of soldiers ran onto the
beach. They told everyone to leave the beach and stay away from it.
About half an hour later, we were sitting with Dad in a café a few hundred metres from the beach, when
we heard an enormous explosion (爆炸). "What was that?" we asked Dad. "That was the thing you found," he
said."One of the soldiers down there told me it was a Japanese bomb (炸弹) from World War II. Sometimes
they get washed up on the beaches here."

As they saw a young woman in broken houses, the rescue (营救) workers were sad to find that she
had already been dead, yet surprised to notice her kneeling down with her hands touching the ground to
support her weight - and right under her shelter of flesh and blood (血肉), her several - month - old baby
was sleeping, safe and sound.
The baby was put around carefully in a little quilt (被子), with a mobile phone inside. An unsent text
message was found that read:
"Dear Baby, if you Could Be Alive, Please Remember That Mum Always Love You!"

| When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He didn"t look like any 1 I 2 . He never invited us to play in his yard,but he was a very 3 person. When Dr. Gibbs wasn"t saving lives, he was planting trees. He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest. The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them, and that if you 4 them, each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and 5 the weaker trees early. He talked about how watered trees grew shallow (浅的) roots, and how trees that weren"t watered had to grow deep roots in search of water 6 the earth by themselves. 7 roots were very important. So he never watered his trees. He"d planted an oak and, 8 watering it every morning, he"d beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree"s attention. Dr. Gibbs died several years 9 I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees 10 I watched him 11 about twenty-five years ago. They"re very big and strong now. I planted some trees a few years later and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of 12 too much, whenever a cold wind blows in, they 13 a lot. Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray (祈祷) that their lives will be easy. But lately I"ve been thinking that it"s time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to face difficulties. There"s always a cold wind 14 somewhere, so 15 we need to do is to pray for roots that reach deep into the brave heart, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we can face it strongly and won"t be beaten down. | |||||||
