Sock-eater ants are made-up animals with the best intention ever.
“Ow!Ow!” I shouted as I broke my jump rope rhythm and trapped my feet in the loose rope. “Something in my shoe is biting me,” I screamed. My teacher, Miss Bell, heard me and hurried over. “Which foot is it?” she asked. I stuck up my right foot as she bent over to inspect it. Just then, feeling a new sting, I yelped in pain. “Here. Let’s take off your shoe.” Instructed Miss Bell, squatting down to get the shoe.
Then, I remembered the holes in my socks. Welfare socks didn’t last long. Holes in socks were common for our family in the years following the Great Depression. Socks with holes in the heels often got pulled down so the hole wouldn’t show. Where there was a hole, there would soon be a blister. Every week as she washed our clothes, Mama would say, “Even if we’re poor and our clothes are worn out, we can still be clean.”
I refused to let Miss Bell take off my shoe. I could not bear for her and the others on the playground to see the hole in my faded red sock. “Come on, then. Let’s go inside to the office.” I did my best to hold back my tears. Yet, each time the thing in my shoe stung me, I would let out aloud, “Oh, oh, oh!” Tears raced down my twisted face.
Miss Bell lifted me onto the desk and tried again. “Let me take a look.”She just about had the shoe off when I saw the hole. I grabbed the shoe and pulled on and held it. The stinging worsened the tighter I grabbed the shoe. Miss Womble, the fifth-grade teacher,came into the office. “Can I help? I know her. She lives next door to me.” “I guess ants are stinging her right foot, but she won’t let me take off her shoe,” said Miss Bell.

Dealing with the angry bites gently, Miss Womble lifted her head and smiled at me.

It was Christmas 1961. I was teaching in a small town in Ohio where my twenty-seven third graders eagerly looked forward to the great day of gifts giving.
Each day the children produced some new wonder—strings of popcorn, hand-made decorations, and German bells made from wallpaper samples, which we hung from the ceiling.
Through it all she remained distant, watching from a far, seemingly miles away. I wondered what would happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now so suddenly withdrawn. I hoped the celebrations would appeal to her. But nothing did.
We made cards and gifts for mothers and dads, for sisters and brothers, for grandparents, and for each other. At home the students made the popular fried marbles(炸玻璃弹珠)and competed with one another to bring in the prettiest ones. “You put them in a hot frying pan, Teacher. And you let them get real hot, and then you watch what happens inside. But you don’t fry them too long or they break.” So, as my gift to them, I made each of my students little bags for carrying their fried marbles.
And I knew they had each made something for me: bookmarks carefully cut, colored, and sometimes glued together; cards and special drawings; liquid embroidery doilies(桌垫), to name but a few.
The day of gift-giving finally came. We were amazed at our handiwork as the presents were exchanged. Through it all, she sat quietly watching. I had made a special bag for her, red and green with white lace. I wanted very much to see her smile. She opened the package so slowly and carefully. I waited but she turned away. I thought I had failed to break the wall she had built around herself.
After school, the children left in little groups, talking about the great day yet to come when long-hoped-for gifts would appear beside their trees at home.
She stayed, watching all of the other students get dressed and go out of the door. I sat down in a child-sized chair to take a rest, hardly aware of what was to happen.

Referred to as my hero, Jack, my brother, held significance in my life. Since he did everything before me, he always guided me and shared with his experiences I would have never had otherwise. As a master of learning and sports, he always accompanied me to study and take exercise. And he even got me through difficulties in life.
My first steps into high school were exciting but nervous, and I believed my extracurricular grades would be seen and valued by colleges. However, this sudden shift was difficult for me. Luckily, my brother noticed it all.
During that time, Jack was beginning his senior year and was finished with all the stressful subjects from junior year while I was studying for my very first math exam. Rather than just break into my room and sit down next to me, he let me decide by myself. He didn’t want to bother me because having someone sit next to me and micromanage my every move made me feel uncomfortable, leading to more stress and a feeling of distrust. Knowing this, he would leave me chips and snacks by my door, so I could pick them up whenever I felt like taking a break. He was there to help whenever I needed. With his encouragement and company, I became more confident while doing my homework.
The workload was just a major struggle for me during high school. Homework from advanced classes began piling up, and I was often stressed about different projects and deadlines. Moreover, there was also a math competition that my parents valued a lot, which needed plenty of practice every single day.
Even though I liked the time my brother gave me to figure out things on my own, it was reassuring to always have somebody who was willing to help me when I was stuck on an unsolvable problem. He would help me memorize formulas, explain different terms to me, and point out traps in different questions. And with his reputation as the best math student in our school, he could make those topics and questions simple to understand.

When most of us get a text message on our cellphone from an unknown person, we usually say “sorry, wrong number!” and move on. But when Dennis, a photographer who has recorded countless touching moments for thousands of customers, received a text that clearly wasn’t intended for him, he did something special. This is how the story goes.
On March 19, Dennis got a group text informing him that a couple he didn't know were at the hospital, waiting for the arrival of a baby.
“Congratulations! But I think someone was mistaken,” Dennis responded politely. The baby was born and update texts were coming in quickly from the overjoyed grandmother, Teresa. In her excitement, she didn't seem to realize that she was sharing the baby's photos with a complete stranger. And seconds later in came the photos of the baby and the new parents, wearing perhaps the happiest expression in the world. Dennis was about to ignore the coming messages when here called those touching moments that he recorded with his camera and the similar shining faces from his customers. “Well, I don’t know you all but I will get there to take pictures with the baby,” replied Dennis. He even forgot to ask which room the new parents were in.
Much to the family’s surprise, Dennis stuck to his promise!___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A man came home from work late, tired and impatient, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
“Sure, what is it?” replied the man.
“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”
“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask?”the man said angrily.
“I just want to know. Please tell me.” pleaded(恳求)the little boy.
“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”
“Oh,”the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said,“Daddy, may I borrow $10?”
The father was angry, “If the only reason you asked is that you can borrow some money to buy some silly toys,then go back to your room and think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish(幼稚的)behavior.” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. “How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?”he thought to himself. After about an hour, the man calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.
“Are you asleep, son?”he asked.
“No, daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,”said the man. “It has been a long day and I took out my anger on you. Here’s the $10 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh. Thank you, daddy!”he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled bills(皱巴巴的钞票).
Paragraph 1:
The man, seeing that the boy already had money started to get angry again.

Not knowing what his son meant, the father just stood there, waiting for his boy to explain.

I had moved to Arizona about two weeks before the start of my junior year school, so not only was this a new school for me, but also a new state and I did not know anyone.
On the first day of school at lunch after getting my meal, I sat down at an empty table in the courtyard. As I began to eat I looked around at the other tables and saw a girl sitting alone, so I decided why not go sit with her. Anyway there was no reason for me to have a whole table to myself, and who knew maybe I could make a friend. I walked to the girl quickly to check whether my guess was right. When I stood before her, I said, "Excuse me, do you mind if I sit with you? " She was surprised at first, but then smiled and said "Sure!".
We chatted happily while eating. I told her I was a newcomer and I had no friend. I expressed my intention to make friends with her. She said because of her body size, no one wanted to get close to her, so she was glad to have a friend. We became close friends throughout the next two years. Towards the end of our senior year she told me that she'd been accepted to an out of state college and would be moving away after graduation. I was sad that I would miss her but at the same time was really happy for her.
She then shared with me something very moving. "Do you remember the first day of school when you came over and sat down with me during lunch? " she asked. "Of course! why do you ask? " I replied. She continued, "I want to let you know how special you are and that you make a difference." I wanted to know the reason for that.
