One Sunday morning, a high school student named Lily was wandering in the school. The sun shone brightly through the leafy trees that lined in the school courtyard. A gentle breeze wafted (吹送, 飘送) through the air, carrying the distant sounds of laughter and chatter from other students. It was at this peaceful and joyful moment that Lily saw a wallet lying on the ground. “Whose is it?” Lily said to herself. She picked it up and opened it, seeing a large amount of cash accompanied by important documents and ID cards.
Doubt and confusion began to consume Lily. “What should I do? Should I keep the money for myself? I can buy many things I’ve wanted for a long time.” she thought. The trees around her seemed to swing together, as if mirroring the chaos within her thoughts. “But if I took it, I’d be going against my values and breaking the trust others have in me,” a voice within her whispered urgently.
A knot formed in Lily’s stomach as she weighed the pros and cons, her thoughts racing. The blue sky above seemed to laugh at her confusion, offering no answers or respite (喘息) , which reminded her of the difficult choices she faced.
To make matters worse, just as Lily was about to hand the wallet over to the school administration, her phone rang, which was from her sick grandmother. “Hi, Grandma, what’s up?” Lily asked worriedly. “The doctor advised me to be hospitalized.” her grandmother replied. This added an extra layer of complexity to her already disordered thoughts. “Can I use the money to help Grandma?” Lily considered.
She shut her eyes, trying to close out her confusion and anxiety. She knew that she needed to make a decision, but she was unsure what to choose.

In the end, Lily made the difficult decision to do the right thing.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________On a bright morning in Beijing, young Mei Lin was on her way to the park with excitement. In her arms was a doll, not just any doll, but one her late grandfather had given her. This doll, with its soft smile and warm, comforting eyes, was Mei Lin’s treasure, a good reminder of her grandfather’s love.
However, a terrible thing happened when Mei Lin returned home. The doll, usually held safely in her arms, was gone. Panic and a deep sadness washed over her as she realized her treasured partner must have slipped out of her hands during her park visit. Heartbroken, Mei Lin couldn’t help but feel a part of her grandfather’s memory had disappeared with the doll.
As the evening light began to fall, Mei Lin’s home was filled with a heavy silence. Her mother, with a heart equally heavy, wrapped her arms around Mei Lin tightly. “Remember, my dear, the love your grandfather had for you is not gone. It lives in every memory, every story, and even now, it surrounds us,” she whispered gently. “This doll is a symbol, but your grandfather’s love is eternal (永恒的). We will do everything we can to find it, I promise you.”
The next day, they retraced (沿原路返回) their steps back to the park. Together, they examined every path and bench carefully, and their eyes searched every corner, but their efforts were in vain (徒劳的). The doll was nowhere to be found.
Refusing to give up, Mei Lin’s mother asked the park’s staff for help. Understanding the great value of the lost doll, they took immediate action. One park employee immediately turned to social media for help. He shared Mei Lin’s story accompanied by a heartfelt request, “Lost treasure: a beloved doll given by a loving grandfather having passed away. If found, please help restore a piece of a young girl’s heart.”
The response was immediate and touching. Words of comfort and offers of help flooded in, showing Mei Lin and her mother the kindness and care from strangers.

Poor as they were, life seemed happy and peaceful. In the dimly-lit house, the parents would read stories to their children after supper and wild laughter always echoed around the room. However, the boy’s mother was diagnosed with a chronic illness later and needed to be taken care of. Faced with the unfavorable situation, the boy had to sell goods from one door to another to pay for his studies. One day he found that he had only ten pennies left and he was hungry. Although he was very shy, he plucked up the courage and decided to ask for a meal. Then he approached the next house.
But when a young woman opened the door, he only dared to ask for a glass of water. The woman looked at him and understood that probably the boy was hungry. So she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it and then asked how much he should pay. The woman replied: “You don’t owe me anything. Mother taught us never to accept pay for a kindness”. “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart”, he said and felt that he was stronger not only physically, but his faith in God had grown as well. Year in and year out, the boy routinely sold the goods door to door and he managed on his own with his studies. Finally, hard work paid off and then came a letter of admission from a medical college, with the name Howard Kelly on it. While in college, he was busy with all course work and had excellent academic performance, which helped him land a job upon graduation in a hospital. Life was always on the go, and everything worked out quite well.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Uncle Johnny first showed up at our door one day, which came as quite a shock to us. We had heard a lot about Uncle Johnny from both Mom and Dad, but we never really believed that he existed. I mean we never saw him. He never called or sent us anything by mail, and his adventures always sounded too good to be true.
It was just so hard to believe that all of those amazing things could happen to just one man. I mean, how many people do you know that have been chased by fierce lions in the African jungle while they are traveling alone, lived with the Eskimos at the North Pole where the cold temperature may freeze a person, owned a kangaroo farm in Australia, and flown a hot air balloon across the Atlantic all by oneself?
We loved all the stories, but thought that our parents were trying to teach us about other parts of the world by the many adventures of Uncle Johnny. In our inner minds, Uncle Johnny was an imaginary person, who didn't exist at all. That’s why we were very surprised when he actually showed up at our door.
Uncle Johnny’s sudden appearance brought us excitement and curiosity. He was a tall, rugged man with a thick beard, and his eyes sparkled with the tales of his travels. Over the next few days, Uncle Johnny became a focus in our eyes. He taught us how to tie knots (结) used by sailors, showed us maps with his routes highlighted in bold colors, and even attempted to teach us a few words of the languages he had picked up along the way. We were deeply fascinated by his personality and the depth of his experiences.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Alan had loved poetry since fourth grade. In his spare time, he would sit alone, absorbed in creating a poem, carefully designing its content and sound. More often than not, he would read poems with full emotion and a beautiful voice, which brought him spiritual pleasure.
However, when he turned 13, he was going through puberty. Puberty is when kids start to become mature and experience many physical and emotional changes. Alan already hit his growth spurt (成长高峰期). He was very tall. Now, he was just waiting for his voice to deepen. Before the voice deepens, it will crack (破裂) and sound high-pitched (尖锐的).
In Alan’s English class, his teacher would have students do “Popcorn Reading”. Popcorn Reading is when one student reads and then calls on another student to continue reading. Alan was eventually called on. He started to read the sentence. He noticed that his voice came out all high-pitched. It sounded like he had a sore throat. His classmates started laughing at him. “What happened to your voice?” they joked. Alan was so embarrassed. He sunk into his chair and put his jacket hood over his head.
After class, the teacher went to Alan to talk to him. The teacher said Alan should not feel embarrassed. Voice cracking happens to everyone. Alan still felt pretty bad about it. For the next few days, word got around about Alan’s voice. People kept asking him to talk, but Alan wouldn’t. He just stayed quiet. Even when teachers called on him to read or asked him a question, he just wrote it down. Even for his love for poems, Allan just kept creating, but dared not to read them out.
One afternoon, his teacher called him into his office, and said with a smile, “Alan, to celebrate the coming Thanksgiving Day, our school decides to organise an activity presenting shows with dancing and singing. All the students will join in it. Could you write a poem and read it on the event?”

Excited yet unsure, 1 shared the news with my teacher, uncertain if I had what it took to participate. To my surprise, my teacher wholeheartedly encouraged me, recognizing my strong background in English literature. However, deep down, a lack of confidence in my spoken English held me back.
Undeterred by my initial refusal, my teacher persistently tried to persuade me. The inner struggle intensified as I weighed my desire to be part of such a prestigious event against my fear of speaking English fluently. Touched by my teacher’s belief in me, I finally agreed, on the condition that my teacher would practice speaking English with me.
The initial interview posed a daunting(巨大的) challenge, but my solid English knowledge helped me through. However, the final interview awaited, and it would truly test my speaking skills. Doubts plagued me, but my teacher’s unwavering support reminded me to keep practicing.
Day after day, my teacher and I diligently practiced speaking English. We repeated conversations, engaged in discussions, and tackled different scenarios. Gradually, my confidence grew, and setbacks became opportunities for improvement. I had come too far to give up now.
The time for the final interview arrived. Nervous yet determined, I entered the room, ready to face this ultimate test. As I spoke, I felt a newfound fluency and confidence that surprised even myself. The interviewers acknowledged my growth and progress, and to my delight, I successfully passed the final hurdle.

She eagerly tore open the envelope and unfolded the letter, “Dear Ling,” the letter began, “I miss you a lot after you left. How’s the school life? I hope you are finding joy in your studies and making new friends. Remember, my dear, no matter how challenging things may seem, you can always find a way to deal with them well. Take care and know that you are much loved.” As Ling read through the letter, each word seemed to remind her of the golden days spent in her grandmother’s comfortable village home, surrounded by green fields and rolling hills. Now, living in a big city with her parents, she entered a new school and left her former teachers and classmates. Everything in the city was so unfamiliar that she felt it was difficult for her to adapt to the new life.
The next morning, as Ling struggled through another day of feeling disconnected and alone, she made a decision. She approached her parents with a heartfelt request. “I miss Grandma and our village,” she said. “Could we visit her this weekend?” Her parents, understanding her feelings, agreed and planned a surprise visit for the upcoming weekend. Finally, the happy weekend came. As Ling boarded the bus back to her beloved village, the familiar landscape rolling past her window relaxed her anxious heart.
Ling’s grandmother was initially surprised to see Ling appear at her doorstep suddenly, and embraced her with open arms, quickly putting on a pot of Ling’s favorite tea as they settled into the familiar rhythm of heartfelt conversation. As they drank the tea, the pleasant smell of the tea brought back a flood of precious memories, and Ling shared the details of her new life in the city. Her grandmother listened attentively, her eyes filled with warmth and understanding. Happy time is always so short. Ling and her parents embarked on the journey back. Before going back.

Having nice things can make you feel good, but at the end of the day, what truly matters is that we have people we love and care about in our lives.
Still, when someone is asked to sacrifice something in order to be with their loved ones in good health, it can be hard. That was the situation one man was put in two decades ago when his wife was diagnosed with cancer.
Years ago, Wesley Ryan learned his wife, Laura, had been diagnosed with cancer. The medical bills were piling up, and he knew in order to continue making ends meet, he would have to sell his beloved car.
Wesley loved that car and even nicknamed it Christine, based on the 1958 Plymouth Fury from Stephen King’s book, Christine. However, Laura meant more to him, and Wesley wanted her to continue getting the care she needed. So he handed over the keys.
“I know how much it broke him in half seeing that car drive away from him,” his son, Jake, wrote online. “It’s a day that I’ll never forget.” Jake and his sister, Jeni, knew they wanted to help their dad reunite with the car he’d loved so much. And over the years, the siblings had saved up enough money. So they started an online search and surprisingly, they were able to track down the old car online.
Actually, the man who bought the car found out about Wesley’s story and the meaning behind the beloved vehicle by accident. Moved by the sacrifice one man had made for his family and how his family stepped up to repay him in the sweetest way possible, he soon got in touch with Jake, who purchased it as soon as possible. And after careful consideration, Jake and Jeni decided to surprise their dad in a nearby parking lot. Moreover, Laura, cancer-free for 13 years at the time, joined them for the big reveal.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________It was a thrilling basketball game, with the stadium filled with crowds from two schools. During the match, Jack’s team faced a tough challenge. They were behind by a wide margin (差距). But with Jack’s leadership and the team’s spirit of unity, they managed to make a comeback and win the game in the last minute. It was a moment of teamwork and perseverance.
After the exciting game of basketball, Jack and his teammates were eager to celebrate their victory. As they gathered around the court, Jack noticed a small, shining object in the grass. Curious, he bent down to pick it up and realized it was a gold ring with a letter “H” on it.
Jack’s heart skipped a beat. He had never seen anything so valuable before. His teammates noticed his excitement and crowded around to see what he had found. Some of them whispered excitedly, while others looked at each other, uncertain what to do. Should they keep the ring as a souvenir of their victory or return it to its rightful owner. As the students hesitated on the playground, the ring shone brightly in the sun, as if it possessed some mysterious power that guided him towards the right path.
He and his teammates began to search for the owner on the busy playground, but with so many people around, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Instead, they decided to take the ring to the school’s Lost and Found, hoping that the owner would come to look for it.
On their way to the Lost and Found, Jack unexpectedly bumped into a visiting player (客队球员) who was looking around anxiously. Jack walked up to the boy and asked if he was looking for something. He said that he had lost a gold ring during the basketball game. He also explained that the ring was a gift from his grandfather and that it was a symbol of honor. It’s a meaningful gold ring with a letter “H” on it.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________In the vibrant summer following their high school graduation, best friends Sally and Jasmine decided to celebrate the beginning of their new chapter with a surfing holiday on the beaches of Hawaii. Sally, known for her boldness and bravery on the waves, and Jasmine, the cautious planner, found themselves in the paradise of surfers, ready to ride the endless summer.
Their Hawaiian adventure began under crystal blue skies, with the sun casting a golden glow over their ambitions. Jasmine had thoroughly planned their days to include both surfing lessons and ample downtime to soak in the island’s tranquility (宁静). Sally, however, was drawn to the whispers of challenge and conquest that the northern beaches promised. Known for their untamed (无法驾驭的) waves and the legends of surfers who dared to dance upon them, these waters attracted Sally constantly.
Despite Jasmine’s caution, particularly about the rumors of shark sightings, Sally’s desire only grew. She argued that risk was an integral part of surfing, a test on one’s respect and understanding of the ocean’s power. Jasmine’s warnings fell on deaf ears as Sally, drive n by a mixture of youthful invincibility (不可战胜)and a deep-seated need to prove herself, decided to take on the northern waves alone.
The day Sally chose for her adventure began with a seemingly calm. The ocean looked welcoming, its surface broken only by the gentle roll of waves. Two safeguards were watching surfers riding waves in the sea nearby. Not a trace of danger or sharks could be found. Jasmine watched with a mixture of awe and anxiety as Sally paddled(划桨)out, her figure gradually becoming a small dot against the vastness of the sea.
As hours passed, the sky’s clear blue deepened to a dark grey, and the ocean began to reveal its true nature. Waves, once calm, grew in size and intensity, challenging Sally’s skill and determination. She rode them with grace, each successful return fueling her confidence. But nature cares little for human bravery.
