Last Saturday David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yelling: “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.

David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs. Brown in middle school. After he entered middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David believed.

But one day it all changed. That day, in an English writing class, Mrs. Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He had never expected to be praised. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.

That day after he returned home, he wrote another short story and gave it to Mrs. Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short dories and asked Mrs. Brown to read them and correct them for him. Mrs. Brown always gave him good advice to improve them. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He gained his confidence and was hopeful about his future.

He succeeded in entering college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published, becoming famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs. Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.

2 . Two weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank (存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.

“What are you doing with that money?” Jackie asked her granddaughter.

“I’m taking it to school,” Sunshine replied. “I’m going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn’t get milk— her mom doesn’t have milk money and I do.”

Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.

It costs $ 0.45 a carton (纸盒). The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.

After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter’s plan. To her surprise, many people offered to donate toward the cause. Within a week, Jackie raised more than $1,000. Now every student in Sunshine’s class can get free milk for the rest of the year.

8 . Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. But one night in 2010, Hill, then a 17-year-old high school senior, was in a car accident that put her in the hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed from the waist down.     1     For Hill, it was just a beginning. "I wanted to prove to my community and to myself that I was still 'normal'," she told Teen Vogue.     2    

    3     She met people online who had suffered various spinal cord (脊髓) injuries, and she invited them to dance with her. Hoping to reach more people in a larger city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities she called "Rollettes". "I want to break down the stereotype of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance, whether you are walking or you are rolling," she told CBS News. So far, Hill has achieved her childhood dream.     4     Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users and in 2019, 173 participants from ten countries attended.

For many, it was the first time they'd felt they belonged. Edna Serrano, a member of the Rollettes, said, "Being part of the Rollettes team has given me courage and confidence. It's so powerful to have my teammates in my life, because they're my teachers. "     5     One woman saw a YouTube video of the team competing and commented, "You guys are so awesome! I'm in tears because you rock!"

A．However, the Rollettes have helped her find more than that.

B．The dancers aren't the only ones who feel inspired.

C．For most people，the hope of dancing career would have been ruined.

D．Chelsie Hill was so depressed because it completely ruined her dream.

E．Whatever normal means, it definitely took lots of learning and patience.

F．After graduation, Hill wanted to expand her dance to people alike.

G．Dancing on wheels can be just as fast-paced, artful, and fulfilling as the foot-based.
