【推荐1】According to a Facebook post by Kevin Leslie, a man was traveling with his young daughter when he was told he had to buy her a plane ticket or she could not board.

"This woman needs to be recognized," Leslie wrote. "A gentleman was checking in for his flight when the agent asked how old his daughter was. He said she had recently turned two. The agent then asked if she had a ticket, The man was confused because he was under the impression she could ride for free. He was hit with emotion. He mentioned he couldn't afford to rebook this flight or get her the ticket with such short notice. He stepped aside and tried to make a few calls. Hugging his daughter and grabbing his head, you could tell he was heartbroken. This woman next to him at the front counter heard the whole thing. She walked over to him and asked what was wrong. After they talked for a bit they walked up to the counter together. She pointed back at his daughter and said, ‘I wanna buy her ticket.’ The agent said ‘You know how much this ticket costs right?’ The woman responded ‘$700 something?’ ‘$749’ the agent said. The woman said ‘that's fine’ and pulled out her credit card.”

“I was right there and I just said to her, ‘God Bless You!’ and they printed out the ticket,” Leslie continued in the post. ‘The agent kept talking about her goosebumps（鸡皮疙瘩）while the man hugged the woman and asked for her name to repay her. The woman just kept saying, ‘Don't worry about it. 'She knew she wanted to help that man and his daughter no matter what the cost. Please share this story because people like                    this need to be praised.”

Although Bolton planned to stay anonymous（匿名的）and did not buy the ticket to receive attention, after the post went viral on Facebook, a number of people left comments that revealed her identity.

Some of her personal friends and co-workers left comments that this is exactly the kind of thing that she would do, and that they are proud to know her.

【推荐3】For Liang Shi, a 55-year-old man who sat the exam or the 26th time this year, gaokao is more like a strong interest that never fades.

Liang, who was a native of Meihan, Southwest China’s Sichuan province fist took the gaokao in 1983 when he was 16. But his score was not good enough for him to be accepted by any college. In the following two years, he also failed the exam.

In 1986, he was admitted to a technical school, but he soon dropped out, believing he deserved to go to a university. In the following several years, he worked part-time while preparing for the exam.

In 1991, Liang became a fulltime worker of a timber(木材) company and he married in the same year. But he continued to apply for the gaokao. That year, Liang was 24. Due to the age limit of gaokao, it was his last chance to sit the test, but he failed once again.

He tried his hands in various enterprises(企业) in the following years and started selling building materials in 1995 from which he made a good fortune. Despite his success in business, his zeal for higher education stuck with him.

In 2001, China canceled the age limit on gaokao candidates(25yearsod), and Liang’s college dream was reignited(再点燃) .

Since then, Liang has been taking part in the exam every year except for a few years when he was too busy to sit for the exam.

Liang once scored marks good enough to be accepted by a university, but he gave up the opportunities offered because he aimed higher: he wanted to study at the famous Sichuan University.

This year. Lang has taken the national college entrance exam for the 26th time. This time, Liang took the test as a liberal arts student instead of a science student, believing that would help him perform better. Some netizens questioned his motivations and believed Liang is taking the exam only to become famous. But Liang has dismissed the distractions (干扰)and focused on reaching his goal.

“Though I am more than 50 years old now, I still feel like I am a middle school student,” he said. “I am confident that this year I will achieve a good result”

【推荐2】Logan Ober, a senior at Rancho Cotate High School in Rohnert Park, California, was given an open-ended final project last year from his computer science teacher Kristi McWilliams. One day Logan pointed to a drawer in McWilliams’ class, filled with broken laptops —all considered garbage, and asked if he could try fixing one of those. Of course she agreed. What McWilliams didn’t expect was that the 17- year - old came back a couple days later with three completely repaired, working computers. “Amazing,” McWilliams said, “I think he knows more about hardware than I do.”

Although Logan looks like the typical teenager, he is a computer talent with a desire to give. Since that project, Logan estimates he’s fixed and donated about $30,000 worth of computers, including MacBooks and PCs. He said he does it because he enjoys it and it reduces e-waste.

E-waste, abandoned(废弃的) electrical or electronic devices, is a growing problem across the world. It has bad effects on people and the environment. Giving away the computers to someone in need prevents them from harming the environment, Logan said. Plus he gets to brighten someone else’s day. A computer can open up more possibilities for children and teenagers, he said. MacBooks can cost upward of $1,000 and are unaffordable for many students.

Logan does all the repairs on the carpet of his bedroom floor — the mess drives his parents crazy, but they’re supportive. Logan’s dad, Kristopher Ober, said you can find monitors, laptops, tools and parts lying across his son’s room. “I’m really proud of him,” his dad said. “He’s looking to give back to the society. I just think it’s wonderful for someone young like him to do that.”
