A few minutes later, the young man shouted again, “Mom, the clouds are running with us!” Mom smiled again. And she seemed very happy with her son’s words. Finally the couple couldn’t help asking the old woman. “Excuse me, but why don’t you take your son to see a doctor?”
The old woman smiled and said, “Actually, we have just come from a hospital.” ”Then you should go to a better one, because it seems that your son’s situation hasn’t improved,” said one of them. “No, in fact, I’m very happy with the treatment,” said the mother, “My son was blind from birth. Today, he is seeing the world for the first time.”

【推荐1】Once a traveler wanted to go across desert. He had walked in the desert for three days without any water. He was exhausted（筋疲力尽的）from walking. When he felt hopeless, he suddenly found a small house. He pulled his tired body inside. This was a small airless house and in the corner he discovered a water pump（抽水机）
He was so excited and went forward to draw（抽取）water, but no water came out no matter how hard he tried. Too tired to do anything more, he fell to the ground. Then he saw a small bottle. On the bottle was a note, which read. "You must pour the water from the bottle into the pump before you draw water! Don't forget, before you leave, refill the bottle with water!" He opened the bottle and found it was filled with water! He was so happy.
At that moment he thought, "It might be a little selfish（自私的）, but as long as I drink the water in the bottle, I can be sure to leave this room alive! However, if I do as the note says and pour the only water into the pump and no water comes out, I will die of thirst. Should I take the risk or not?" It was five minutes later that he chose to pour the only water into the pump and began to draw water. After a minute, water started to come out! He made the right choice.
After he had drunk enough water, he refilled the bottle. He added the following words after the note: Before you get something, you should first learn to pay.

【推荐2】Mr. Green had a son with bad habits. One day, he took his son to a wise old man to ask for help.
The wise man took the boy for a walk through garden. Stopping suddenly he asked the boy to pull out a small plant growing there. The boy held the plant between his thumb (拇指) and forefinger and pulled it out. The old man then asked him to pull out a little bigger plant. The boy pulled hand and the plant came out, roots and all.
“Now pull out that one,” said the old man, pointing to a bush. At last, the boy tried his best and pulled it out.
“Now take this one out,” said the old man, pointing to an apple tree. The boy held the tree and tried to pull it out. But it would not move. “It’s impossible to pull it out,” said the boy.
“So it is with bad habits,”said the scholar. “When they are young, it is easy to pull them out. But when they grow bigger, they cannot be pulled out easily.”
The lesson with the old man changed the boy’s life. He gave up his bad habits and became an excellent man.

【推荐1】Our reporter asked people what they were doing on July 20th,1969 when man first walked on the moon. Here is what they said:
John Bates, postman I was eighteen years old. It was a very exciting day. ①I was watching TV at home when he walked on the moon. His name was Neil Armstrong.

【推荐3】A little stream(小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert (沙漠). "I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert," she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing (消失) into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. "Maybe I can't reach the ocean (海洋)," she said sadly to herself.
At this time, a deep voice said, "If a wind can cross the desert, so can a river." It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, "That's because a wind can fly, but I cannot."
"That's because you can't give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the wind, it can take you across me," said the desert. "Give up what I am now? No! No!" The little stream could not accept this idea. "The wind can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form (形成) a river again," said the desert. "And whether you're a river or vapor, your nature (本性) never changes." After hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the wind. It carried her to the next stage of her life.
The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If we want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, we should also change the way we are.
