Jenny is a fifth - grader. She is one of the most popular girls in her class because she is among the brightest in her class . She can do the most cartwheels (侧手翻) in a row , but most of all , she has the talent to dance well .
Last year, she entered the school’s dance competition and won first place. Since that day, she has been the class attraction. This year, the school is holding another dance competition, but there has been a change. The competition has to be done in pairs.
Jenny’s class was expecting her to win again this year. But Jenny was unsure. She wanted to enter the competition, but she had never danced with a partner before. She decided to ask some of the boys in her class to enter with her. They all said no because they did not know how to dance .
She finally decided to turn to one of her closest friends, Carl. Carl was unwilling to join at first because he also didn’t know how to dance. But Jenny insisted and he finally agreed. However, she was still worried because she knew it was going to be more of a challenge because Carl was not a good dancer. The competition was in two months , and only time could tell whether they would win or not.
Jenny and Carl spent the first two weeks memorizing the steps of their dance with the help of their teacher. Carl was pretty clumsy at first . Jenny had to devote some time to helping Carl improve his skill. Fortunately, he finally got the hang of it. They spent the rest of the time perfecting their moves. The day of the competition was near . Jenny and Carl were beginning to get nervous.

Ladies and gentlemen,________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thank you for your listening.
At noon that day, I drove back to my house after the performance. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs — it was the sound of my favorite violin.
“Thief!”
I rushed upstairs. Sure enough, as expected, a boy of about 11 years old was petting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face, his over-sized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief.
Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile. I asked, “Are you Mr. Tom’s nephew, Michael? I’m his housekeeper. Two days ago, I heard his nephew living in the countryside will come. It must be you. You’re really like him!”
On hearing my words, the boy was first astonished, but then quickly said, “Has my uncle gone out? I think I’d better first go out for a walk and visit him again in a little while.”
I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, “Do you like to play the violin so much?”
“Yes, but I’m so poor that I can’t afford it.” the boy replied.
“Then, I can give this violin to you.” The boy looked at me questioningly, but he picked up the violin.
Going out to the living room, he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo in which I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He involuntarily trembled for a moment and ran out without looking back.
I was sure that the boy had understood what happened, because no one would decorate the living room with the housekeeper’s photo.
A few years later, I was invited to be a judge at a music competition of senior high school students. Fascinated by the gentle sound of one participant, I was wholeheartedly impressed by his wonderful performance and solid strength. As I flicked my eyes up to glance at the performer, I was so astonished to see a thin face, so familiar, yet now lit up with joy and confidence. The “thief”! For an instant, I was amazed that the kindness I offered to cover the boy’s misconduct would make such a big difference!

High-school sports is one of the biggest thing that happens in our town of Verden, population six hundred. And sports are important in our family. Both of our sons were high —school athletes. However, I was surprised when Lauren announced she was going out for the girls’ basketball team. But she has Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) .
My wife and I never told Lauren that she was different. We treated her like our other children. We didn’t want her to feel disabled or different.
“I’m gonna play basketball, Daddy.” Lauren ran to meet me when I returned from work. “That’s nice, honey,” I replied and patted her shoulder. I figured she meant outside—on the driveway. My wife Laura later told me “What Lauren’s trying to tell you is that she’s joining the girls’ high-school basketball team.” Just as my wife’s words stopped, I heard Lauren behind me. “I’m gonna be a Lady Tiger,” she shouted, throwing her arms in the air. I discussed Lauren’s announcement with my wife that evening. “Maybe she won’t make the team,” I offered. “Everybody makes the team, Johnny,” she whispered, “It’s Verden. There are only eleven girls, and not all of them want to play.”
However, I couldn’t help worrying about Lauren. Everything that could happen flashed through my mind. Lauren’s reactions were slow. What if she got injured during practice or trying to keep up with the other players? What if the other girls on the team failed to accept her? What if an insensitive audience made fun of her? Or what if Lauren’s feelings got hurt because she spent most of her time on the bench (替补席) ?
Just as my wife had said, Lauren did make the school basketball team. To relieve my anxiety, I decided to see her practice in person. The next afternoon, I parked in front of the school gymnasium. Entering the gym, I could see Lauren standing alone at the other end of the court, shooting free throws. Inside, Coach (教练) Forsythe stood on the other side of the gym. After every shot, Lauren joyfully shouted, “Woo hoo!” She didn’t seem to care if she made the basket or not.

Paul and I were on our school basketball team, The Lions. We loved basketball and were both huge fans of the NBA. When we weren’t playing on the court which was next to our building, we were watching a game on TV. My favourite player was LeBron James. Paul’s favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, a guy who played for the Charlotte Hornets, although we actually agree that they are both champions.
Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA. Guess what? Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said, “lf Bogues could make it, why not me?”
Our coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. However, Paul didn’t get a chance.
This week, The Lions were playing our main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn’t lost a single game. It would be a tough one. Paul didn’t know he’d soon get the chance that he’d been waiting for.
Suddenly, a player and I crashed into each other. Pain raced through my body. My knee hurt badly. The team gathered around looking worried. The last quarter was about to begin, and my team was behind by 10 points. We had no more players. Just then the coach cast a look at the bench players.

In a very cold January, a puppy wandered around Mr. Lacey’s house, where he lived with his wife Mamie and their daughter Doris. Icicles (冰锥) hung three feet or more from the roofs of houses and snow swallowed up cars.
The puppy had been abandoned, and it made its way down the road toward the Laceys’ small house, with its ears down and trembling from shyness and cold. Doris, whose school had been called off because of the snow, was clearing the steps when she spotted the puppy on the road.
“Come on, little dog!” she called it over. The puppy shyly wagged its tail when Doris approached. As soon as Doris put the dog down in the kitchen, her mom, Mrs. Lacey, asked where the dog came from. Mr. Lacey, who was cleaning his fingernails with his pocketknife at the table, said, “I don’t know where it came from, but I know for sure where it’s going.” Doris hugged the puppy hard against her. She said nothing.
Because of the snowy weather, Mr. Lacey couldn’t take the puppy to the shelter right away. So, it stayed in the basement, and Doris fed it leftovers, even though her mom didn’t want to waste food. Doris thought the puppy was around six months old and would be quite noisy sometimes. Surprisingly, the puppy behaved well, didn’t cry or make trouble in the basement, and only followed Doris upstairs when she invited it. Doris often found it on the basement steps listening to the kitchen talk and smelling the food. She felt the puppy wanted company.
Even after a week, Doris didn’t name the dog, knowing her parents wouldn’t let her keep it. Her father made so little money that any pets were out of the question. Desperate to keep the dog, Doris tried to convince her parents by praising the dog’s good behavior and expressing her love for it, but her parents didn’t give a definite answer.
Despite her efforts, Doris secretly wished the bad weather would never go away, fearing the puppy’s unavoidable trip to the shelter. However, nine days after the dog had arrived, the sun was shining.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________When Megan went into her local shop one day, a used jacket with gold thread was appealing to her. It was beautiful and cheap enough. She took the jacket home without a second thought. It was in such good condition that she couldn’t imagine why anyone would even sell it. She must have needed the money badly.
She grabbed her phone for a selfie(自拍)and stuck her other hand in her pocket. That’s when she felt something and took it out. It was a piece of paper with an address not far from her house. But something else caught her attention. It was a message that read: “Help my grandkids!” What could this mean? she wondered. She grabbed the note and reread the address. “OK, let’s do this,” she rushed out of the door with the jacket and got to the address.
A little kid answered the door. “Hello?” she said in a small voice.
“Hmmm… hi,” Megan started. “Is your grandmother or grandfather here?”
“We only have a grandma,” the little girl replied. Two other kids were standing there with wide eyes and confused expressions.
The house was untidy. There were tons of toys lying around.
The little girl guided Megan to a bedroom. An older woman was lying on the bed looking too pale. Megan said, “Madam, excuse me for coming in like this. But I bought this jacket and found a note inside.”
“Oh, thank you for responding to the note,” the older woman said. “I made a huge effort yesterday to reach the shop, sell it, and buy something for my grandkids to eat. But I was afraid that my disease would progress, so I wrote the note, hoping that someone would see it and help.”
Megan was puzzled. “I don’t understand. Couldn’t you call any family to help out?”
“We don’t have anyone else, and I’ve had to spend my pension(退休金)on medication that wasn’t working very well,” the older woman explained. “I’m sorry. I’m Erica, and I have chemical pneumonia(肺炎).”
“I’m Megan. Do you need me to call 911 or something?” Megan moved closer to the older woman. Erica shook her head, and tears gathered in her eyes.

Pansy Takes a Trip
Very excited, Anika hugged her favorite doll tight as she followed her parents through the airport. It was going to be her first time on an airplane. When she walked down the narrow aisle (走廊、过道) of the plane to find her seat, a tall flight attendant (服务人员) smiled at her and asked where they were going. “Walt Disney World,” Anika said with a smile, “We’ll be there for a week.”
“Have a wonderful trip,” replied the flight attendant, pointing to her name tag (名签), “I’m Leanne. You let me know if you and your pretty doll friend need anything.”
“Thanks. I’m Anika, and this is Pansy,” said Anika, holding the doll up to show her, “Do you fly to Disney World every day?”
Leanne shook her head. “I get to fly all over the world. It can be fun to explore new places.”
The flight was going to be a few hours. Anika read a book with Pansy and did some puzzles her mother had packed for the trip. Soon she was getting a little tired and asked Leanne for a pillow (枕头). The flight attendant returned with a pillow, a blanket, and a sleep mask to cover her eyes. Anika tucked Pansy under the blanket with her and fell asleep quickly. In no time, it seemed, she was being woken up again because it was time to land. They had arrived!
“Already?” yawned (打哈欠) Anika. She wasn’t quite awake yet. Her parents were busily packing up their bags and jackets, ready to leave the plane. Leanne walked past them, collecting the pillows and blankets from passengers as she went.
“Now you will have lots of energy to enjoy your visit to Disney World!” She smiled to Anika. “I will see you next week on your return flight home.”
Anika was delighted to be in the new city. When her family got to the hotel, she couldn’t wait to bring Pansy along to see all the amazing sights with her. She looked around, but she couldn’t find her doll.
She searched through the bags and jackets, but Pansy was nowhere to be found.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Hugging Pansy tight again, Anika felt even more excited than she was on vacation last week.
