I woke up excitedly. This day was special. It was my birthday and I was sure that I was going to receive a great deal of wishes and presents this year. I got off from my bed and rushed to my bathroom to get dressed in the best possible manner. I wore the beautiful dress that I had bought especially for this day, dressed my hair and went down for breakfast.
Mom was in the kitchen. I flashed a bright smile at her, waiting for her to wish me and give me a hug. But my smile soon disappeared as my mother started rolling with laughter. I was confused. I asked her what was the matter. Controlling her laughter, she managed to answer me, which sounded something like, “Why are you dressed up like that early in the morning? Are you alight?” I wanted to burst out in anger. I wanted to tell her that I was dressed up because it was my birthday! But then I decided not to tell her myself, and I changed into a casual dress.
After a few moments, my brother and my father came for breakfast as well. I gave them both the same flashy smile, but was heartbroken instantly when neither of them wished me. I thought that maybe they are planning a surprise birthday party for me, and that was the reason none of them wished me. I felt excited as I love surprise birthday parties.
All day long, I stayed in my room so that my family could easily prepare for my party. In the evening, my mother came to me and said that she was leaving for her friend's house and if I wanted to come along as well. I knew she was trying to fool me and she only wanted me to get dressed for the party. I replied to her in affirmative(肯定的) and started dressing up. When I finished, I closed my eyes and stepped out of my room. Then I opened my eyes and…
WHAT? The house was looking exactly like it had always been! No balloons? No ribbons(丝带)? No friends? No party?

As a child, I clearly remembered watching the PBS cartoon character Arthur get glasses. The poor guy felt ashamed and was laughed at by other kids due to his glasses. So I was thankful that I had good eyesight.
However, when I entered the eighth grade, I could no longer see very clearly the writing on the blackboard. Luckily, I was usually seated in the front of the classroom, and my study was not affected. So I didn't turn to glasses.
During my first year in high school, my eyesight became poorer. My eyes were examined, and the doctor determined that my eyesight was quite bad. I would either have to wear glasses full time, or try contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Since I had watched the cartoon character Arthur before, I was afraid to be judged by others due to my glasses — it made me believe the glasses would affect a person’s beauty. And being a teenage girl, I cared much about my self-image. Besides, at that time, there were few students around me wearing glasses. So I chose to wear contact lenses. I felt they would not affect my appearance. On the contrary, they would make me more attractive. And after wearing contact lenses, my entire world was transformed. Trees actually had leaves. People around me showed clear expressions. I was overjoyed at my new-found sight and appearance, and I had more self-confidence.
But when my junior year came along, I began to have trouble with my eyes. Once in a while, the contact lenses would irritate (刺激) my eyes, almost to the point where the pain was unbearable. It would take me thirty minutes just to get the lenses in comfortably every day, which made me so upset. With time going by, the pain only got worse.
In spite of endless visits to the hospital, my doctor found nothing wrong with my eyes. He tried countless mediations to ease my pain, However, none of them worked, and there was nothing left to try.

One day, when I arrived at my friend Ollie's house, I found him tossing (扔)one stone at a time into a plastic flowerpot. He didn't bother to look at me when I walked up. I grabbed a handful of stones nearby and we took turns tossing. After a while I asked him what was on his mind. Ollie sighed that he couldn't think of anything good enough for his grandmother, Abuela, on Mother's Day, who was pretty much like a mom to Ollie.
I smiled, suggesting we figure out what she liked most. Just then, Abuela walked out and invited me to lunch. Gladly I accepted it and asked her about the most delicious food she'd ever eaten. Abuela thought for a while and said, “Nothing beats the wonderful soup Mr. Chan makes at his Happy Garden Restaurant except for the soup my grandmother made. And speaking of my grandmother, she made her special strawberry ice cream. Yep, that homemade ice cream had to be the best thing I've ever tasted!”
I winked (眨眼）at Ollie. Ollie winked at me, too.
Over the next few days, Ollie and I asked everyone we knew if they happened to have an old-fashioned ice cream recipe (食谱）, but no luck. My dad helped us search for some online and we found a fun one that didn't require any fancy equipment, just a couple of empty coffee cans. My little brother and sister helped us make Mother's Day Ice-cream Party invitations, and we all came up with a song in honor of Abuela and my mom.

A Texas family is hoping to repay a good man who jumped into action to save a 10-year-old girl from a riptide（激流）that almost turned their summer vacation into a tragedy.
The Whiting family was enjoy their last day of vacation on a sunny beach in Monterey, California, when 10-year-old Haylee Whiting got caught in a riptide. Haleey’s mom, Samantha Whiting,was sitting on the shore when she heard her daughter crying for help. Samantha rushed into the water to try and grab her daughter but underestimated the strength of the riptide. Soon the waves were swallowing them both.
“I was thinking ‘this is not happening; there is no way I’m being pulled out.’I was terrified, ”Haylee told CNN.
“I will never forget her face when she said,‘Mom，help me！’”Samantha said.
Luckily, Kevin Cozzi was nearby with his fiancée （未婚妻）and heard the commotion. A competitive swimmer himself, the California man said he had no hesitation in jumping into the waters. “I’ve been swimming since I was 3 years old competitively，so I felt like I could get to them，”Kevin recalled. “I ran out there and as soon as I got to the mom, I just told her to give me her daughter because I knew she was struggling.
Kevin ultimately was able to rescue Haylee, carrying her to shore before a lifeguard came to the rescue and took over.
“He saved as,” Samantha said.“If it hadn’t been for him coming to grab her off of me，there would have been no way that we both would have made it.”
Haylee suffered no injuries and the Texas family headed down to the following day,grateful to have avoided a tragic end to their vacation.

“Are you ready for our walk?” Grandma asked the usual question every Friday evening.
“Of course, we are!" We shouted excitedly, ready to talk about the end of the week and fill Grandma in about our week.
Growing up, my sisters and I always knew Grandma had heart problems and couldn't do anything hard, but we did know she would do anything to spend more time with us. Whether it was wanders around the block or walks to the library, Grandma was there by our side.
When I was going into sixth grade, we were told that Grandma only had 2% heart function. Her heart wasn't benefiting her anymore, but she found out that there was a way to live longer: an IVAD. It is a heart pump （起搏器）that replaces the heart, basically, a battery instead of a heart and it's connected to a battery pack by a tube that conies out of the side. Grandma would become a robot with no heart! The Toledo Hospital, the only hospital near us that could do this surgery, offered to do it for Grandma. She, obviously, agreed.
The grey morning of the surgery was rough for our family, as we woke up bright and early to drive to the hospital. That car ride left me with worried thoughts racing through my mind: Will Grandma be okay? Will we ever take another walk around the block?
When we arrived at the hospital, we knew exactly where to go, as we'd been there many times before. After going through those familiar doors and up the stairs, my mom and I walked up to the nurses' desk and asked for Grandma.
“Oh, Mary?” A nurse answered. "She's one of the nicest patients we've had." Then she directed us to the waiting room and told us that only two of us were permitted to go into the ward （病房）at a time to say goodbye to Grandma before she went in for surgery.

When I was ten years old, I was a grade four primary school student in a small town. I had a happy time at school because I had a few good friends there. We usually spent our spare time together, doing our homework, going to the amusement park, playing with our pets, and sharing our happiness and sorrows together. But everything changed when my parents decided to change their jobs and moved to a bigger city. I even had no time to say good-bye to my old friends and teachers.
As I moved to the new city, I began my school life in a totally new school with new surroundings, new teachers and new classmates. During the first week, I felt lonely when I was at school. My classmates knew each other, but they didn’t know me, which added to my loneliness and sadness. That week day after day, I was sitting on my seat, pretending to be reading. How I secretly wished that someone would come to me and introduce himself to me or even play a trick on me, but disappointingly, nobody came.
Then one day, when my parents sent me to the bus station and said good bye to me, I didn’t get on the bus to school as usual. Instead, I walked and walked on the street, looking at the beautiful window displays and forgetting everything, with no worry about the new school, new teachers and new classmates. Then my empty stomach stopped me and I used my pocket money to have a bowl of noodles in a small restaurant. It was noon at the time, but still I didn’t want to go to school or go home. So I went to a park and sat on the bench, staring at the sky. And then I had a nap. When I woke up, I decided to go back to my hometown, where my former teachers and friends lived. So I went to the railway station. There I was stopped by a policeman, who asked for my ID card, which I didn’t have at the time. Then the policeman called someone and I was asked to stay with him.

“You are stupid!You always mess things up! Now hand over your pocket money!”Jack shouted at me.I was frightened like a leaf in the wind.Jack was well-known as the school bully(校园霸王）who always liked to pick on me.I shouted back at him,”No!This is my parents’ hard-earned money!”
When Jack heard this,he stared at me.I got ready for a flight as I thought that Jack would beat me. Instead,he walked away quietly.It was unlike Jack.
After school,as I was about to walk home,I saw an unbelievable sight-Jack was crying? I approached him.“What do you want?” he asked. I sat down next to him and asked him what was wrong.“My father...passed away. He was the only breadwinner of the family.Now my mother needs to find a job but she cannot find one.” I took pity on poor Jack and hugged him. I took out the remaining lunch money I had and handed it over to him. Jack’s eyes nearly jumped out.He said,“You...you are actually giving this to me?”
I nodded my head and told him that it did not matter whether he was my enemy. I would help someone in need. After all,I also said there was no reason why we could not be friends. Tears ran down Jack’s face and he apologized for all his past actions.
Later,Jack and I became best friends.My mother,who was the boss of a company,gave Jack’s mother a job.During those months,Jack’s mother worked hard and rose to the position of a manager.In school,I would study with Jack and helped him out with his schoolwork.He improved and became one of the top three students in the class.All was well until one day Jack had something to tell me.“I have to leave Singapore and move overseas,” he said. I felt angry that Jack was just going to leave after all that I had done for him.I also felt sad because I will miss him.
