1 . One day, I was told that I had a baby sister. I had a selfish thought—the kind all kids have when a new baby is born: Mum and Dad are going to be with the baby all the time and buy her all kinds of toys. The next day my dad told me that my sister had hearing loss.
I didn’t think much about communicating with my sister that first year because she was a baby and babies don’t do much talking. My family and I went to a good hearing-center for several times. But the treatment didn’t work. So my family began learning sign language. But I didn’t like it, so I did my own things. My parents spent hours with my sister teaching her and themselves by playing sign language games.
Years passed. One day my mother asked me to sign something, and I failed. My mum was almost in tears. She was very sad that I didn’t care enough about my sister. This hit me deeply, knowing how selfish I had been. I needed to talk to my sister, but I couldn’t even sign basic phrases like, “Where are you?”. My family and I started attending sign language classes at my sister’s school. We sat down as a family watching sign language movies and playing sign language games.
Today I can communicate very well with my sister. It brings a smile to my face when my sister signs something to me. I have realized it was no fun not knowing what my family was saying. So if you have a family member with special needs, put this person on your mind first.

4 . When I was little, my mother sold flowers at Camden Market in London. She couldn’t leave me at home on my own, so I had to go along with her. As I grew older, I began to give my mom a hand and I really enjoyed it.
Things changed when I was 14. My grandma gave me a book as a birthday gift. It was all about making candles. As a young girl, I loved it so much that I spent all my free time making candles of all shapes and sizes. I made hundreds of them.
One day, my mother was ill, so I had to go to the market by myself. I decided to take some candles with me and see if I could sell them. To my surprise, they were sold out in 20 minutes! I did it the next week and next.
Nine months later, we decided to stop selling flowers. My mom and I couldn’t make enough candles during the week, so some of my school friends started to help us. Then we sold them on the weekends.
When I was 22, my uncle lent me some money and I opened my first shop. Since then, I’ve never looked back, even in difficult times. At the first store, we only sold candles, but now we run a much bigger business-almost everything from furniture to paintings.

Some fishermen came to the bank of the lake with their nets(渔网). The three fish saw them.
Demo decided at once to leave, to make the long and difficult trip to the ocean. He thought, “I won’t discuss with these two about this. [4]They love this place so much that they call it home and will stay on. How silly they are! Their ignorance(愚昧) will cost them their lives.”
Seeing the wise fish had left, Jimmy thought, “My guide has gone and now I’ve lost my chance to escape(逃离).” He felt sorry for it and then thought, “What can I do to save myself from these men and their nets? Perhaps I should pretend(假装) to be already dead.” So he did that. He went up and down with the water, helpless.
“Look at this! [5]最好的也是最大的鱼是死的。” One of the men lifted him by the tail, and threw him up on the ground. He rolled(滚动) over and over and moved secretly toward the water, and then, back in.

“Mum, I hate you. I don't need a new schoolbag or clothes. I'm not afraid of being hit by you. I only want you to come back. ”When Chen Jiuying read her daughter's letter, she couldn't help crying. Chen and her husband are now working far away from their hometown. Their daughter, Xiao Li, is looked after by her grandparents. Like Chen, many migrant workers(外来务工人员) are dreaming about a better life, so they have to leave their children behind.
According to a survey, there are now about 61 million left-behind children(留守儿童) in poor areas in China. This has brought many problems. These children care little about others. They do not do well at school. They lose confidence. Luckily, many Chinese are now thinking about the life of the left-behind children and actions have been taken to help solve the problem.
A charity event took place in Beijing before Children's Day. Its aim was to raise social awareness(意识) of left-behind children. The event was held to raise money from businesses and the public to prepare “love bags”. Inside the bags, these are things for children, including books, torches, and envelopes（信封） and stamps so that children can write to their parents.
The event was started by Chen Weihong, a television host in China. “The left-behind children don't have enough parental love and family care. They need to be in touch with their parents. We hope our love bags will help them communicate with their parents, and make them happier, ” he said.

Do you wonder why your classmates always get higher marks than you? If you think it is because they are cleverer than you, you are really wrong, according to American authors Wood Smethurst and william Luckie. In their book, Study Power, they say that successful students are not cleverer than others and that they just know the best ways to study for exams.
“The best way to study is to study actively, say the authors. You must ask yourself questions as you work. Asking yourself questions will help you remember information better and faster. To study better you also need to make the best use of your time: When you study, the authors say, only go on for 20 minutes at a time. If you study for longer you will start thinking about other things and not learn anything. The authors also tell students to listen to everything their teachers say in class and write it down.
The authors say that everyone can get high marks if they learn actively and follow their tips.

10 . When I first arrived on this island, I had nothing. But I’ve found the ship and made a small boat. I’ve brought back many things I can use—food and drink, took, knives and guns. Although I have lost everything , I have not lost my life. So I will not give up and I will wait for another ship. I have already cut down trees and built a house. I go out with my gun almost every day to kill animals and birds for food. I’m even learning to grow fruit and vegetables.
A few weeks ago. I found the marks of another man’s feet on the sand. Who else is on my island ? Not long after that , I saw some cannibals trying to kill two men from a broken ship. One of them died but the other ran towards my house. I helped him kill the cannibals. This man now lives with me and helps me. I named him Friday because that day was the day I met him. He is smart and I have already taught him some English .
