People always say that with exercise, putting on your shoes is the hardest part. But for Emma, this was a lie. The real pain always started when all the students were gathered on the track, ready to run. It wasn’t the fatigue she minded, it was the looks others gave her. Emma was bigger than others of her age. Back in primary school, she remembers her classmates asking her why her thighs (大腿) were so big and her chest so wide. On the outside, she looked big, but on the inside, she felt as small as a pea. And PE class was when she felt at her smallest.
Not all her classmates made her feel uncomfortable, though. It was mainly a group of girls and boys—the loud, outspoken, popular kids. Although they could run faster than Emma, they preferred to jog a bit behind her, bursting out in laughter every now and then, commenting on how Emma jogged.
Just one more year, Emma kept telling herself. One more year and I’ll have graduated and won’t have to take this stupid PE class anymore. She just wanted to survive it.
But everything changed when a new girl called Kit joined the class. She had short, jet-black hair, bright eyes, and a long scar across the left side of her face. Her entrance into the classroom that day was met by dozens of curious eyes.
Although their teacher, Ms Hardy, didn’t ask Kit for a personal introduction, upon putting her bag down on her desk, Kit rose, saying, “Hi, everyone, nice to meet you, I’m Kit. I love boxing, animation and fashion. You might be wondering about my scar. I got it when I was young when I fell off my bike. Luckily, I didn’t get hurt more seriously. It’s now like a cool trademark of all the adventures I had as a kid.”
After Kit’s introduction, Emma simply sat there, her heart pounding and mouth wide open. How could someone be so confident? Even the popular kids were sitting there in shock.

It was lunchtime, Jerry, David, Tom, and I went to the dining hall to have lunch. I glanced across the busy cafeteria and saw the new student, Jack. He was holding his plate and waiting in lines.
David noticed him too. “Why is the new kid dressed like the headmaster? ” he asked. Tom and Jerry laughed.
“Jack’s cool. He’s in my English and history classes, ” I said. However, I kept the truth that Jack and I had become friends when we worked on a project together. We discovered that we were both enthusiastic readers —something I would never admit to Jerry, David and Tom.
I saw that Jack was walking toward us. “Don’t do it,” I thought, but in seconds he was at our table. My friends raised their eyebrows. Jerry, David and Tom piled their backpacks on the table and chairs so that there was no space left for another person to sit down. David said, “I don’t think we have room. ”
This awkward situation froze the air. I could feel Jack looking at me, but I stared at my lunch as if it had contained precious pearls of wisdom instead of rice and beans. After a long, uncomfortable pause, Jack left. 1 should have spoken up for him, but I couldn’t walk away from my three friends, could I?
Jack didn’t speak to me after that meeting. He was soon hanging around with another group of kids. A few months later, I saw an announcement about Jack being chosen to be president of the school book club. I was happy for Jack’s achievement, but I realized I had made a big mistake when I said nothing at the lunch table that day. Why was I so afraid that my friends might find out that I like to read?
As I stared at the announcement, I knew I needed to apologize to Jack —even if he did not want to become my friend again. I thought that my three friends would not agree. I also thought that I risked losing them as well. However, I knew that I would lose myself if I did nothing.

From a young age, she had organized her toys by color and size, planned her outfits for school days in advance, and created detailed schedules for her summer vacation. It was no surprise to anyone when Ellie decided to plan the perfect birthday party for her best friend, Sarah.
Ellie spent weeks carefully selecting the perfect decorations, choosing the tastiest snacks, and coming up with the most fun activities for Sarah’s birthday party. She even created a detailed plan for the day, down to the minute. Everything was going according to plan until the unexpected happened.
As the party guests arrived, Ellie was excited to show them all the amazing activities she had planned. However, when she led everyone to the backyard for the first activity, she was shocked to find that the stage she had rented for performing programs was nowhere to be found. Ellie’s heart sank as she realized that her perfect plan was falling apart.
In a panic, Ellie tried to come up with a solution. She called the rental company, but they had no record of her reservation.

Amy and I had been best friends since primary school and spent almost every day with each other. Sometimes, other children said we were no fun because we were both very academic(学术的) and liked to study, but we liked it that way. Both of us were very hard-working and always got good grades at school.
I thought we would be like this forever, however, our friendship was on the rocks recently.
One Monday, we had a surprise math quiz. I thought it was quite easy and was not worried about the results.
I must have sounded very proud of myself after the quiz, saying how easy it was and how I was sure to get a good grade. And many classmates looked at me with admiration.
The next day after class, my math teacher told me that I had the lowest grade in the class! I felt so ashamed and couldn’t believe it; I must be really stupid to fail a simple math quiz!
Afterwards, I pretended to be cheerful and greeted others with a smile as usual, but Amy sensed something was wrong.
We went to wash our hands in the girls’ washroom before lunch. She patted me on the shoulder and asked me what happened. Seeing her concerned look, I had to admit how badly I had done in the math quiz. I begged her not to tell anyone else, and couldn’t help sobbing (啜泣). She held me tightly, saying she would keep my secret, and cheered me up.
However, the next day, I noticed that my classmates were staring at me as I came into math class, when I went to sit down, I was shocked to find a piece of paper on my desk that said, “...Stupid Sarah got a D!” I was so upset that I felt like crying.

Joseph was my best friend. He was the only son of Adam Tan, a well-known former player. So many people expected Joseph to be as sporting as his father. But it was not true.
He suffered from asthma (哮喘) and preferred to stay indoors to read books. But everything changed on the first death anniversary of his father. He was laughed at by his classmates. They had called him loser, remarking that he was a disgrace (耻辱) to his father. He lost his control and fought with them. Of course, he lost. From that day on, Joseph devoted himself to building up his body. He exercised and turned his attention and efforts to sports. He said to himself that he would not let his father down.
Joseph joined the sports team in my school and became its leader. We were all excited when we learned that the school had planned a hiking a Kalimantan, Indonesia. It was also meant to be in memory of Joseph’s father, who was its former adviser (顾问).
The hiking really tested the strength and skills of the team. Though we had the help of our two teacher advisers, we were determined to succeed in the hiking which was to cross a mountain, river and forest. The last stage was the forest and we were within sight of our target. We had only four more kilometers to cover. If we succeeded within the required time, we would be the first school team to have done that in record.
However, Joseph experienced his asthma. We noticed at first that he was falling behind us. When we asked him whether he had any problem, he gave us the thumbs up sign. Just before the last kilometer his team-mate, Shafiq, noticed his hard breathing. His face was pale and Shafig signaled (示意) us to stop walking. We gathered around Joseph anxiously and forced him to stop and rest.

A while ago, when I was a 25-year-old youth, I traveled across the United States on a journey to make a film. During that trip, I ended up in Seattle where I met Laddie McCrea.
Laddie was a hobo (流浪汉). He was about 60-70 years old and looked 100. Laddie had shoulder length white hair covered with weeds from the preious might's bedding (垫草). He was in rags with an unpleasant smell of alcohol and garbage.
When I first met Laddie, he was standing on a busy downtown Seattle sidewalk. He greeted every passer-by, with a smile, a pleasant greeting and an extended palm (手掌). Each day, society was rushing past Laddie, either unaware of his existence or avoiding him, a smelly, begging hobo.
I found Laddie to be an excellent character for my movie, so I wanted to pay him to allow me to stand in the background and film him. However, He rejected the money but accepted my requirement. Then, I spent three days hidden among the crowd, filming Laddie. Most of the time he was unaware of my existence. Each day he stood in a busy section of town greeting the world with a smile and an extended palm, in order to earn enough change for the evening's night cap.
One special day, as I watched from a bench off in the distance, a young girl, around 6 or 7, with a pretty dress, approached Laddie from behind and tugged on his shirt. Laddie turned to the girl. She then reached up and handed him something. At that, Laddie showed his happiness and reached in his pocket, gave her something and the girl ran back to her parents excitedly showing them what she had received.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Betty and Kate were two sisters. Kate was so stuck with her sister Betty that she always followed her elder sister everywhere. For example, when Betty was painting, she would paint by her side. Every time, Betty looked at her angrily and said, “Couldn’t you find your own thing to do?” This time, it was Kate’s first week when she learnt gymnastics, while Betty had done gymnastics for the past two years.
Betty sat on the gym floor, waiting for her turn to do somersaults (翻筋斗). She frowned (皱眉头) at her little sister across the room and thought why Kate couldn’t always find her own thing to do? “Betty, you’re up!” called Betty’s instructor, Miss Carol. Betty came over and pushed off with her legs and straightened her arms. She did one, two, three somersaults. Miss Carol clapped and said, “Perfect!”
Betty noticed that Kate had stepped away from the younger group to watch Betty’s somersaults. “Kate!” called Kate’s instructor, Miss Brown, from across the room. Kate didn’t seem to hear her. Not until she was called three times did she run back to her group. “Your turn to do somersaults.” Miss Brown put an arm around her. Kate walked to the mat with her face turning red like a tomato. She bent down to start a somersault. When she rolled, she fell heavily on the mat. Kids laughed in surprise at the noise.
Kate stood uncomfortably and then ran towards the restroom. She was gone from the gym. After telling Miss Carol where she was going, Betty hurried to the restroom. She found Kate crying hard. Betty put an arm around her sister. Seeing Betty, Kate cried even harder. Kate sniffed, “I don’t want to do gymnastics any more.” Kate wiped away the tears with the back of her hand. This was Betty’s chance. If Betty said nothing to her sister, Kate might quit gymnastics forever.
