I used to have my own room. But one day it all changed when my brother Mike asked to share my room. At first, my parents said “no” to him, but at last my mother agreed. I cried and asked my parents not to do this, but it didn’t work.
After Mike lived in my room, it began to become dirty. To my anger, he often left his unwashed clothes and toys everywhere!
One evening, I was doing some homework on my computer while Mike was listening to music. Later, I left my seat to get some water. Something unexpected was waiting for me when I returned. He was using my computer to play games but I forgot to save the homework! Of course, he didn’t save it, too —all of my homework disappeared! I shouted at him. He cried a lot as my mother came and beat him. My mother also asked him to leave my room at once.
Then I did my homework again. At 10:00 p.m., I finished it. When I was going to turn off the computer I saw the photo of my brother on my table. I looked at his lovely face and remembered how sad he was when my mom beat him. I felt really sorry. I went to see what he was doing. I found he was sleeping in my parents’ bed. I kissed (亲吻) his face. He woke up, got up and said, “I'm really sorry.”
I was so moved (感动的) and said, “From now on, my room is not only mine. It is ours!” At that night, Mike and I shared not only the room, but the bed.

【推荐3】An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money for an operation.
When she heard her daddy say “Only a miracle（奇迹）can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.
“What do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my brother, Andrew” the girl answered. “He has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I’ve brought all my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man.
“$1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.
“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$1.11, the price of a miracle for your little brother.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to your house. I want to see your brother. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”

【推荐1】One day, a father and his son went to a kite-flying festival. When they arrived, there were already many people in the park. When the son saw the sky filled with colorful kites in different shapes, he was excited and wanted to get one, too. His father agreed to buy one for him. So they went to a kite shop and chose a beautiful one.
With the string in hand, the son started to fly the kite. Soon, the kite was high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, “Father, it seems that the string(线) is stopping the kite flying higher. If we cut it, the kite will be free and fly even higher. Can we cut it?” The father didn’t reply, but just cut the string. Suddenly, the kite began to go higher, which made the son much happier.
However, to his surprise, the kite was coming down. They waited for quite some time. Slowly, it fell onto the grass. The son felt upset and asked, “I thought that after cutting the string, the kite would fly higher. Why did it fall down?”
The father smiled and said, “The role of the string was not stopping the kite from flying higher, but helping it stay in the sky, because the kite itself can’t fly up. By using the string, you help the kite go up in the right direction. When you cut the string, it could not support the kite.”
In our life, we may sometimes feel like there are certain things that are holding us back and stopping us from growing. But in fact, these might be the things that support us the most. We can really grow up and become stronger by realizing the importance of these things.

【推荐2】“Look at this,” I said to Mandy, holding up the bright-red paper. “There’s a five-day art camp this summer!”
Mandy looked at it and said, “It’s during the last week of March. That’s the same time as the Hill County Fair and we always go to the fair.” She handed the paper back to me. “Tessa, you’re the artist, but I’m not,” she smiled. “My brother thought the flowers I painted were spaceships.”
I really didn’t want to go alone. I called Emily and Yoshiko. They wouldn’t go with me. I felt upset.
To relax myself, I went outside to draw the pine tree (松树). When sitting on the stone, I thought about the art camp and wished I could be a little braver. Mandy could make friends with other kids in 10 minutes, but I always feel nervous when I don’t know anyone around me. I decided to give up the camp.
Then Mr. Weston, my neighbor, came. He told me something about the pine. The roots (根) of the pine couldn’t be too near the surface or too deep so that they could reach outward. He also praised me that I drew very well. I thought about what he said. It made me think about the art camp and my own roots. I wasn’t reaching them out at all. Instead, I was planting myself deeply to feel safer. I suddenly realized if I wanted to grow, I had to start reaching out too.
That night, I took a deep breath and made a new decision.
