【推荐1】Zou Bin was considered as a bit of a strange child when he began building walls with bricks at the age of 16. While others tried to build walls as quickly as possible because they were paid according to the number of bricks they laid, Zou had high standards and pulled his walls down if he thought they weren’t good enough. That effort of trying to be perfect may explain why he became the first Chinese person to win a prize in bricklaying at World Skills in 2015.
Born in a village in Central China’s Hunan Province in 1995, he chose a job different from most people of his age. Zou decided to do the same job as his father to work as a construction worker. When he was working, he paid attention to improving his skills and practiced again and again. The work at the construction place was quite hard for a teenager, but Zou carried on and pushed himself to get over all the difficulties. Zou also remembers that he only stayed at any place for three months at most before moving to the next one, taking buses for hours and carrying all of his daily things.
Nowadays, when he passes the places where he works, he sees many tall city buildings and feels a sense of pride when he thinks of the walls and roads he has built. His efforts and love for work helped him to get bricklaying skills and achieve success. “I will continue to work in the construction industry, learn to improve myself, know about industrial development and help workers get more chances for better development,” Zou said.

| Characters: Buck—a dog Judge (法官) Miller—Buck’s owner |
Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would know thattroublewas coming.
In fact, trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair. This was because men, going through the Arctic (北极的) darkness, had discovered a yellow metal—gold. And because shipping and transportation (运输) companies were advertising the discovery, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles (肌肉) for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold.
Buck lived at Judge Miller’s house in the sunny-kissed Santa Clara Valley. There were big stables (马厩), long grape fields, fruit gardens and a big swimming pool. Buck ruled over the whole kingdom. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. He protected the Judge’s sons and daughters on long midnight or early morning walks. On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge’s feet in front of the warm library fire. He was king—king over everything, crawled (爬行的), walked, or flew at Judge Miller’s place, including humans.
Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that Manuel, one of gardener’s helpers, was not to be trusted. Manuel loved to gamble (赌博). He believed he could win but he was doomed to failure.
On the night of Manuel’s betrayal (背叛), no one saw him and Buck go off through the fields. Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk. They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them. Manuel tied a piece of thick rope around Buck’s neck. Buck accepted it quietly. To be sure, it was unwanted, but Buck had learned to trust men he knew. However, when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger’s hands, he barked. Then the rope tightened (收紧) painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his eyes grew dim (浑浊), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up. Two men threw him into the baggage car.
