In my early childhood, I was often surprised when I saw my father making a small number of money with difficulty. Being a child, I was unable to understand him. When I was older, my father started doing a part-time job at home. He used to bring some work back and worked till late night.
I can’t forget he played with me when I was 3—4 years old. He taught me how to read when I was at the age of 5. He took care of me all night when I was sick. Whenever I felt down, he would cheer me up. He also cared about my lessons and often helped me get ready for exams. Later he sent me to New Delhi for the best education. Whenever I needed money, he never refused (拒绝). He always managed money for my studies.
Two years ago, I got a job at a hospital in New Delhi. When I helped my first patient, I got a strong feeling of happiness. When I got my first salary (薪水) which was about ten times more than my pocket money, I spent it all on myself.
When I returned home one fine morning, I heard my father talking with one neighbor. He was telling him my success in the job very proudly. He also told him that I had a higher salary than him at the end of his work. A dream—his son should become better than himself—came true.
I was unable to move on my feet. Past 23 years flashed into (闪入) my mind in a moment. I knew my father loved me very much. I could understand the meaning of my father’s wishes. I could understand the decisions my father made in the past. The financial (经济) difficulty he was facing was decided by his goal-making his child more successful than himself.
If today I am successful , this is because of my father.

【推荐2】Alena is an American student. Like other 13-year-olds, she enjoys singing, going to the movies and hanging out with her friends. But unlike other teenagers, she is now studying biological (生物的) sciences at university. She is the youngest black student to be accepted into medical university in the US.
Alena has had a strong interest in STEM—science, technology, engineering and math—from an early age. She is always thirsty for knowledge. When she was in fifth grade, the girl started to attend high school-level course online after school. Taking extra classes, Alena said, was more of a pleasure than a pain. Learning new skills seemed to be a walk in the park for her.
But if you think Alena is just a bookworm (书呆子), you are totally wrong. Besides excellent grades at school, the girl has created the “Brown STEM GIRLS” program, hoping that it can offer girls of colour a chance to receive education in STEM.
As one of Alena’s teachers said, what really makes the girl different from the other teenagers is not her brain but her heart. Alena always wants to help and to lift others up. As a medical student, she hopes that she can use her knowledge and skills to help people in need.
Alena hopes to serve as an example to others. She wants to prove (证明) that someone’s age should never stand in the way of his or her success. “What is age?” she said. “You’re not too young to do anything. You can achieve anything as long as you put your heart and mind into it. You can do it. Don’t let anybody tell you no.”

【推荐3】One Sunday morning, I took my dog Ben to the park to have a walk. Reaching the end of one street, Ben pulled (拉) me into a garden (花园) with lots of colorful flowers. At first, I tried to pull Ben back to the street, feeling worried that there might be something dangerous inside the garden. However, every time I tried to get Ben out of the garden, he pulled harder. Then I decided to follow Ben in.
Several minutes later, I heard some sounds. Then I followed the sounds to a vegetable patch (—块菜地). A group of people were busy with all kinds of work there. I asked them who the owner of the garden was. To my surprise, they all shook their heads. In the end, they told me it was a community garden and they were all volunteers. They come to help every Sunday morning to make sure everything is growing well in the garden. The following Sunday morning, I didn’t give Ben a walk. I had a new plan. I would go to volunteer in the community garden.
