As the saying goes, "A hero is known in the time of misfortune". Zhong Nanshan is a hero like this. He is a doctor in Guangdong, who saved many people's lives in 2003.
In 2003, SARS broke out in Guangdong. Later, it spread across China and other parts of the world. Patients coughed a lot and got fevers. Hundreds of patients even died from the disease. Even many doctors and nurses got SARS when they treated patients. So everyone was afraid of it. But Zhong was brave enough to fight the disease. Zhong spent days and nights finding the cause of the disease. And with his way of treating, many patients began to get better. Zhong finally won peoples trust.
In early 2020, a disease called Novel Coronavirus pneumonia (新型冠状病毒肺炎) hit Wuhan. It spread quickly around tens of thousands of Chinese people were infected (感染). Zhong, 84, led his team to Wuhan to fight the illness. His team took many measures to cure the patients with Novel Coronavirus pneumonia. He advised people to wear masks, wash hands frequently stay at home and not to go to crowed places. Zhong likes sports very much. Although he was 67, he could still play basketball.
Now at the age of 84, Zhong still treats patients in the hospital and teaches young doctors. "I am just a doctor." Zhong says. But we think he is a hero and a fighter.

In February a 1.7-inch tumor was found in his brain and Conner was set to begin to receive radiation (放射疗法) treatments. Before treatments start, technicians make a white plastic mask (面罩) to keep patients immovable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumor.
It’s an unpleasant experience and a frightening time. The doctor Cook decided that the masks could at least be made to look like something fun — maybe Batman or Mickey Mouse. “I started thinking these masks are white and not fun at all for kids,” she told The Greenville News. “I felt like if we could make it a little more fun for them, they might be a little more excited about coming in for the treatment. Because the kids are afraid. While the treatment itself isn’t physically painful, it can cause a lot of anxiety (焦虑). And the treatment is required daily for up to six weeks. “
And the masks really make a difference. “The kids really like them,” Cook said. “It makes what is, let’s face it, a terrible experience, a nice experience because they get to choose something themselves.”
When new children come in for the treatment, Cook finds out what their favorite movies or cartoon characters are. Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper, sticking it with glue, and once it’s dry, she applies the colors using paints. Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.
“Coming to the doctor always means fear and pain. I wanted to make it fun,” she said. “The kids really love it. It’s something they enjoy and can relate to. And it fills an interest I have. I get great pleasure from it.”

【推荐1】Our English literature teacher Miss Linda was new to teaching. But she always did her best to make learning fun and pleasant. But the thing that truly solidified her spot as my favorite teacher was that for every student’s birthday she would give us a personalized notebook.
It was just a simple small notebook, but she had filled the first page with her own words which made me realize how good a person I was. As a teenager who had a terrible home life, it made all the difference in how I acted the rest of the year.
In a session of English class, we were discussing a passage we had read. One student Jack made a point. Miss Linda basically said Jack was wrong. The next day, after we took our seats, she said, “Before we begin, I was thinking about what Jack said yesterday. Let’s take a look at that again. My knowledge is limited in this field where you are definitely better than me.” She repeated Jack’s point and encouraged discussions among students. After the discussions, it became apparent that Jack’s point really held water. I was impressed by Miss Linda who acknowledged her mistake publicly.
After class, I had to purchase some red punch cards to get lunch at school. Unfortunately, I didn’t have that much money to purchase enough cards. Miss Linda noticed I often skipped meals and brought an extra sandwich to me in private. She not only offered me the food which I desperately needed, but also the self-respect which I valued as a teenage boy. Also, she never criticized any students in public, which really made her popular among students.

【推荐2】How I Study English
I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.
First, I think an interest(爱好) in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject—English. It was fresh for me. I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!
Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary(词汇). Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever(不论何时) I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!
Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.
And I also do some exercises from our class magazines, and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.
Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always keep the first position in our school. From these words, I hope every student can learn English well.

【推荐3】Some families choose to take extravagant(奢侈的) vacations, such as to the Grand Canyon. However, my favorite family "vacation"was different. Nine years ago, my parents made a plan to build the home of their dreams in the neighborhood.
Home Number I gradually turned into the management office for building Home Number 2. As Home Number 2 began to take shape, it drew our attention and our primary home became the place where we slept only. The three of us children worked and became soon-to-be-skilled workers. I quickly learned that personalities are readily displayed when we painted a wall. Some repeated his demand, refusing others to enter the area. Others systematically painted the wall, working from top to bottom in an organized fashion. And one might lose interest quickly and drew smiley faces and signed his name on the wall.
Of course, the journey doesn't come without a few lessons learned. I came to understand that paint would never be removed from my clothes no matter how many times I washed it. We learned other important lessons when my dad wanted to shingle(用瓦片覆盖) a roof in the air: Safety is indeed important, and sometimes money is well spent in the employment(雇用) of professional.
And a Mother's Day dinner served on a table could actually taste far better at the end of a long day's work than the everyday meals we remembered back at Home Number 1. Most importantly, I learned that my family can understand each other's' barks. When we finally“arrived after28 months,the“place of interest" we now call home was better than any other places, and our family grew closer because of it.

【推荐1】Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.
Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.
Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”
He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled. All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”
Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.
