There was a boy who was sent to a boarding school. He used to be the brightest student in his class. He was at the top in every competition. But things changed after that. His grades started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. He felt worthless and that no one loved him.
His parents began to worry. But even they did not know what was wrong. So his dad decided to visit the school and talk with him.
They sat on the bank of the lake near the school. The father started asking him casual questions about his classes, teachers and sports. Then he asked, “Do you know, son, why I am here today?” The boy said, “To check my grades?”
“No, no, ” his dad replied. “I am here to tell you that you are the most important person for me. I want to see you happy. I don’t care about grades. I care about you. I care about your happiness. YOU ARE MY LIFE.”
Now the boy had everything he wanted.

It was time to go home. “Remember to work on your class speeches for homework,” Miss Walker called, as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jenny felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee’s watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn’t want to run after him. Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water...”Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really DID have something magic.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. No-body moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She’s stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily, “It went missing at school yesterday.”
Paragraph 1: Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________“Go back, Mom!” repeated my six-year-old daughter, June. We had just left the nearby supermarket. When I was wondering whether I had forgotten something, June added, “Someone needs our help!”
As I looked back from the driver’s seat, I saw a homeless man. It was such a cold day, but he wore few clothes. Touched by June’s kindness, I crazily looked for some cash (现金),quickly realizing I didn’t have any.
“I have some cash, Mom!” June replied. She opened her little wallet and pulled out a five-dollar bill. “Oh, good. I’ll pay you back when we get home,” I said. “No, Mom,” she replied, “I want to help him. I don’t want you to pay me back. I want to give him my money.”
I was so proud of June. I looked at my four-year-old daughter, Scarlett, hoping she’d also give some money to show kindness. Knowing my expectation, she said, “But I only have one dollar. I want to buy ice-cream. I haven’t eaten one for weeks. More importantly, why should we be kind to the homeless? Would they be kind to others? I doubt it!’ Not wanting to force her to give away her money, I gave up. I hoped someday she’d naturally change.
As we drove back, I then kept quiet. When we got near the homeless man, I called out, “Excuse me, sir!” He walked towards our car and answered, “Yes, ma’am?” “Here you go, sir,” June handed him her money through the window. “Thank you,” he said, touched. We shared a smile.
As we decided to drive away, we were drawn to a young woman ten meters away. She was trying hard to push her shopping cart (购物推车) to her car. Unluckily, her cart suddenly fell onto the ground. All of the things she had bought were thrown out and onto the ground. She looked so sad.

As a beginning teacher, I was faced with a lot of challenges,but the one that took up most of my time was Amanda. about forty inches tall with her head down, chin (下巴) against her chest, looking out at the world from the tops of her eyes with anger on her face. She was ready to battle with any comer. To beat all, she was repeating third grade.
I quickly learned one child had the power to interrupt and destroy my classroom. And worse, Amanda had the power to ruin my career even before it got started! I really wanted to know what made her such so I asked around and heard some incredible stories about the “little tornado (龙卷风)” who left destruction. About the only positive information came from the reading teacher, who insisted she could learn.
I contacted Amanda’s father and suggested keeping his daughter after school for teaching. My plan went beyond study because this child had the poorest social skills. On the long list were common politeness, table manners, and learning how to respond respectfully in unfamiliar situations. Obviously, I had to solve her problems in behavior as they were a huge barrier to success in study. There was no end goal. Rather,I hoped that what I could do would lead Amanda to become a cooperative (合作的、配合的) member of my class.
The first day I kept her, we talked about how she felt about school. Amanda had had very negative experiences in school, which influenced her thoughts on almost everything else in her life. However, when I talked with her about things she enjoyed, she wore a shining smile on her face. She liked to shop and she loved Dairy Queen Ice-creams.

9 . Selom Sunu is a successful illustrator (插画家), but his path of becoming an illustrator was a long one.
When he was young, Sunu went to school for a while in Ghana. a country in the west Africa. He remembered that there were not many books with Ghanaian children in them, so he wanted to create his own book and illustrate it. “It is important to draw everyone, so everyone feels included.” Sunu says. Then, he moved to America with his family. To start a new and stable life, everyone in the family had to work hard, leaving him little time to paint. After college, Sunu gave up drawing and didn’t draw for eight years.
Then, one day, he came up with an idea for a book and the wish of his youth reoccurred to him. To sharpen his drawing skill, Sunu applied for a course at university but did not get it. The staff told him to draw every day for a year and reapply. So he drew every day, improved, and got accepted onto the course. Through this experience, he realized that one could learn how to draw by coping other drawings that one liked.
“Sometimes it might look like nothing is happening but, if you keep going, you could get opportunities unexpectedly,” Selom Sunu tells The Week Junior. “So don’t give up.”
Recently, Sunu has worked with Disney and illustrated a book called Christmas Carrolls, which he describes as very funny and warm. Sunu is judging this year’s Christmas cover competition. His advice is, “Stay on the brief, but put your own understanding on it. I’m keen to see that people enjoyed drawing the covers, because enjoyment shines through.”
