“I'm going to school today!” announced my little brother, Trevor, jumping to the breakfast table. He was already wearing his backpack, which had been washed by himself carefully, just for this great day.
Mom looked at me “Isn’t it great, Annie? You’ll both be at the same school!”
Actually, it was not great at all. School used to feel like my thing. Now Trevor was going to be in my old classroom, with my old teacher. At least, second grade was in a different part of the building. I felt a burst of mixture of excitement and displeasure. I knew that Trevor’s expectation and excitement were more than mine.
“Can I play with you?” he asked as Mom dropped us off when we arrived at the school. I shook my head, “School rules, remember? You have to play in the kindergarten area. I stay on the big playground.” Trevor gave me no reply but a determined look.
I led him to his classroom, watching him explore and locate his own seat. “Hi, Mrs. Morena,” I said as I pulled my brother forward. “This is my brother Trevor.” “Hello, Trevor!” Mrs. Morena smiled. “Want to meet the other kids?” Trevor nodded and let go of my hand. Then, I ran out of the door in a flash. I didn’t know where he was now. Nor did I care.
When the bell rang, the teacher gave me a seat by an open window, where I could see the kindergarten room if I looked outside. I faced forward. The teacher had begun the lecture. It was what the teacher was talking that attracted me the most. And I told myself again and again that all went on as before, as usual, as if Trevor had not been to school.
Between classes, I had forgotten all about Trevor. It was great to be back at school! I was running to the slide (滑梯) when a loud cry rang out across the playground.

I had never noticed her. She was not the kind of girl who could draw attention. She was not tall and just plain. In class, she liked sitting at the back, reading or taking notes. It was once I asked her to read aloud the text that I looked at her with new eyes when I heard her standard American pronunciation. Later on, the National College English Speech Contest would be held. I thought it over and filled in her name with a smile. I red-penciled her draft of speech, corrected her pronunciation, and even adjusted her body language.
However, I was always kind of worried because she was too introvert(内向的)and too quiet. Could she seize this rare opportunity?
On the night of the contest, I told her to take it easy. Blushed(脸红的), she looked at me and said nothing.
My heart sank. It seemed that she did tense up. I pated her and let her go to draw lots(抽签). As a result, what she drew was No. 9 while No. 8 was recognized English master-hand(高手).
Sure enough, the English master-hand was fairly successful in the speech with his humor and highly personal style. The whole audience would make a warm applause almost every 30 seconds until she appeared on the stage, still talking over his speech with excitement.
My palms began to sweat. I sat there, with no courage to look at her. It was the first time that she went up the stage, so I couldn't blame her for any slips. But at that moment, I found I was so scared of her failure.
The strong spotlight made her so small and so insignificant that nobody seemed to notice she had been on the stage, I said to myself, no hope.
But the moment that shocked me occurred. I clearly heard a voice, a very loud voice, “Now, please focus on me.” She said this sentence three times in all, louder and louder.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________On the first day of school, I stared in awe at the huge buildings. This high school was definitely bigger than the one I had previously attended.
This was my second year of high school, but my first year of school in St. Louis. I had decided the night before that I would be much happier in a new school if I made friends that were so-called “popular”. Getting in with the right group of people would make my life a whole lot better. I even bought a new outfit and had my hair styled just so the first day would be perfect.
Scared, yet anxious to begin my new life, I walked up the stairs to the front door. The halls were packed with kids yelling and laughing and telling stories of their summer adventures. My first class was geometry, but where was that?
I was standing in the hall looking confused, when a short, blond girl wearing glasses came up and asked, “Are you new? You look lost. Do you need help? My name is Diane. What’s yours?” Even though she seemed a bit strange, definitely not the kind of person I wanted to be associated with, I decided to answer her anyway. I was, after all, lost.
After exchanging names. I followed her up the stairs and down a hallway on the right, making polite conversation the whole way. When we reached my room she said, “Well, here you are. Welcome to JFK, and I hope your day goes all right.”
I said thanks and waved good-bye. Once inside the classroom, I saw one big group of people huddled around someone who seemed to be telling some sort of story. I walked over and got close enough to overhear. All eyes were glued to the guy in the middle of the circle who was wearing a letter jacket covered with patches. I decided that this guy was popular, so I managed to get a seat right next to him. I said, “Hi, my name is Lisa and I’m new here.” He said, “Johnny.”

I am a wolf. The forest was my home. I lived there and I cared about it. I tried to keep it neat and clean.
Then one sunny day, while I was cleaning up some garbage a camper(露营者)had left behind,
I heard footsteps. I leaped behind a tree and saw a rather plain little girl coming down the trail carrying a basket. I was suspicious of this little girl right away because she was dressed funny —all in red, and her head covered up so it seemed like she didn’t want people to know who she was.
Naturally, I stopped to check her out. She gave me a song sand dance about going to her grandmother’s house with a basket of lunch. She appeared to be a basically honest person,but she was in my forest and she certainly looked suspicious with that strange clothes of hers. So I decided to teach her just how serious it is to prance(腾跃；欢跃)through the forest unannounced and dressed funny.
I let her go on her way, but I ran ahead to her grandmother’s house. When I saw that nice old woman, I explained my problem, and she agreed that her granddaughter needed to learn a lesson, all right. The old woman agreed to stay out of sight until I called her. Actually, she hid under the bed.
When the girl arrived, I invited her into the bedroom where I was in the bed,dressed like the grandmother. The girl came in all rosy-checked and said something nasty(肮脏的)about my big ears and made another insulting crack about my bulging(膨胀的)eyes. Now you can see how I was beginning to feel about this girl who put on such a nice front, but was apparently a very nasty person. Still,I've made it a policy to turn the other cheek,so I told her that my big eyes helped me to see her better.

I had a dream from primary school: to work in television. My parents owned a little grocery store, so we were definitely not fancy people. Thankfully, my dad had raised me to have a lot of confidence. He often said, “You can do anything you want to do.” My dad was particularly supportive. He was my steady rock — always there for me.
With his help and encouragement, I was admitted to the radio and television arts program at Ryerson in Toronto. I really loved the program and worked hard and I was named the most outstanding graduate. I felt like I was already living my dream. I began to think that maybe I could apply for an internship in CBC or CTV.
Luckily, Global Television had just started broadcasting in Canada that year. I thought to myself: I’m new and they're new, so if Fm going to get to know one person at Global, it might as well be the president. I was scared, but I knew deep down inside that this was what I wanted. When I called my dad and told him my plan, he said, “Good, Faye. That’s exactly what you should do.”
With my heart just about pounding out of my body, I called up the president of Global Television. Suddenly Mr. Slaight was on the phone. “I’ve heard that your studio facilities are amazing. I could come at eleven o’clock on Monday or eleven o’clock on Sunday for a tour. What would suit you better?” I caught him totally off guard. He stuttered a bit, and then picked a day. When I hung up, I was scared but excited.
I arrived at the studio on the appointed day. When Mr. Slaight took me around, he looked at me and said， “What do you want?” He sounded furious but curious. “All I want is a chance to audition. I just want you to know my face. That’s all I’m asking.”
I didn’t know whether I’d ever hear from him again, but two weeks later, his secretary called, “Mr. Slaight wants to know if you’d like to come and audition for a new school life show.” I immediately answered，“Sure!”
