children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.
But that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named
Teddy Stoddard. Mrs Thompson noticed that he didn"t play well with the other children, that his clothes
were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point
where Mrs Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making
bold X"s and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers.
However, when she reviewed his file, she got a surprise.
Teddy"s first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work
neatly and has good manners…, he is a joy to be around ."
His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is
troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle."
His third grade teacher wrote, " His mother"s death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but
his father doesn"t show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren"t taken."
Teddy"s fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn"t show much interest in school.
He doesn"t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."
Now, Mrs Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her students brought her
beautifully wrapped Christmas presents. Teddy"s present, however, was clumsily wrapped in rough
brown grocery paper. Taking her time she opened it to reveal Teddy"s gifts, a shinestone bracelet with
stones missing and a quarter full perfume bottle. How the children laughed! " What a pretty bracelet! Mm,
lovely
perfume! Perfect on my wrist." The children were silent.Alone together, after school, Teddy told Mrs Thompson, " Today you smelled just like my Mom used
to …" His teacher cried all night and,from that day, she stopped teaching reading, writing ,and arithmetic
and began to teach children instead.

s class picked for any sports team. "Football,tennis, cricket anything with a round ball, I was useless," he says now with a laugh. But back then he was
the object of jokes in school gym classes in England"s rural Devonshire.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday t
hat changed him. At first he went bikingalone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his
mind on building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first
marathon.
The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat
across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway"s School of Adventure in
Scotland, where he learned about the older man"s cold-water exploits ( 成就). Intrigued, Saunders read
all he could about Arctic Explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.
Journeys to the Pole aren"t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his
dream as fantasy. "John Ridgway was one of the few who didn"t say, "You"re completely crazy,"" Saunders says. In 2001,after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a close encounter(遭遇)with a polar bear.
Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he"s skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation. This
October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back,
an 1,800-mile journey that has never been complete on skis.

been 12 be me! I felt much 13 afterwards.

and I were helping with the Valentine"s Day rush of 2011. We"d been preparing hundreds of berries,
arranged gift baskets and packaged orders to be shipped around the country.
By the end of the day and I were exhausted. Shari didn"t seem tired. That was what Shari liked doing
especially when she gave someone else something. I"d seen her give away berries to everybody-parking
attendants, mail carriers, hairdressers. "For me?" they"d say, breaking into a smile.
As a "thank you", Shari took us out for dinner. But there was a 45-munite wait at her favorite
restaurant. "No big deal. There"s another place just up the road," she said, driving us there. This time we
walked right in. While the waitress took our drink orders Shari reached into her handbag, pulling
something out.
"I want you to have these," she said, handing the waitress a box of chocolate-dipped strawberries.
"Will she love those berries!"I said to myself. But the waitress seemed extremely surprised. She hardly
let out a "Thank you" before grabbing the box and rushing into the kitchen.
A few minutes later, the waitress returned with our iced tea. " I apologize," she said. " It"s just …my
best friend and I made an agreement to send each other something every Valentine"s Day. But she passed
last year. I didn"t know how I"d get through this day without her. Then you handed me that box."
"I"m so sorry to hear that," said Shari. " It"s not much, but I hope you can enjoy them."
"Oh, I will," the waitress said. " See, every year we always sent each other the same thing: a box of
chocolate-dipped strawberries bought from our favorite store, The Berry Factory.

sister and I thought every family was like that. Every family had an unpredictable dad who was impossible
to please and a praying mom who was there to protect the children.
We were good children. Mom was always telling us
we were, even if Daddy couldn"t see it . part of this was because we didn"t dare to do anything.
Then came the day we found something new and fun to do. We worked at drawing with chalk on our wooden front door and making lots of pretty pictures all over it. We had a great time. We thought Mom
would love it and praise us.
The praise we expected did not come. Instead, Mom was mad. We did not understand why, but we
knew we were in big trouble!
Off we ran to find a place to hid. In our wooded yard it was not hard for two small children to find
safety. Together, we hid behind a tree and did not move. Soon we heard the frightened voice
s of Momand our neighbors calling out to us.
The sun set and it began to get dark. Those around us became more anxious, and we became more
frightened. However, we still didn"t move.
As we clung (紧紧拥抱) together in the dark, we became aware of yet another voice, one we
recognized with great fear: our daddy. But there was something strangely different about it. In it we heard
something we had never heard before: fear, agony (痛苦) and despair. Then came his prayers in tearful
voice. Our daddy was promising God that he would give his life to him if he would safely return his girls.
Nothing in our lives had prepared us for this kind of sho
ck. Neither of us remembers making a decision to come out. We were drawn to him like a magnet (磁铁), our fears disappearing into the forest. We didn"t know yet if we actually took steps or if God somehow moved us out and into Daddy"s arms.
What we do remember were those strong, loving arms holding us and crying, hugging us like we were
precious.
Things were different after that. We had a new daddy. Our whole family was changed by a piece of
chalk.
