    1the age of 16, Einstein failed in several exams because he often played with some bad kids. One weekend morning, Einstein carried a fishing net and prepared to go fishing with those2, his father stopped him and said to him calmly," Einstein, you were spending too much time 3, so you failed in the exams. I'm 4about your future with your mother."

    "What are you worrying about? Jack and Robert also5, but they went fishing as usual."

    "My boy， you can't think so，" Looking at Einstein， his father said lovingly， "There is a 6in our hometown. I hope you can listen to it7."

    "There were two cats playing on the roof.8, they fell into the chimney (烟囱)  When they climbed out of the chimney,  one cat's face was dirty9the other's face was clean. Seeing the dirty-faced cat， the clean-faced one thought its own face was also10, so it quickly ran to the riverside and washed its11. The dirty-faced cat saw the clean-faced one, thinking its own face was clean as well, so it walked happily in the street."

    "Einstein, 12can be your mirror.  .   Only you are your own mirror. Some of the kids are not strict with themselves.  If you take them to be your mirror, even a 13person may become stupid." Hearing this，  Einstein's face turned red. He put down his 14 and returned to his small room.

    After that， Einstein often took himself as a mirror to be15with himself and kept telling himself. "I am special, so I needn't be as common as others." This was why Einstein16in his life.

    1，000 people have 1，000 kinds of wishes in life.  Different wishes will produce different17about life. You can learn from other people, but you can 18follow others completely.

    You must see 19 clearly， and know what you want to get. Your future doesn't20how others act, but on what you are going to act.

    In 2013, I left Spain to study alone in London. My parents had to bring up my three younger sisters and two younger brothers, so I found three part--time jobs to pay for my studies. I worked early mornings and late nights, so I was tired, really tired, all the time.

    Unfortunately, I got a cold and had a very high fever. Because I had spent all my free time working since I came to London, I hardly took part in any activities and I had no friends. Besides, I was too shy to communicate with others and ask others for help. After sleeping on the sickbed for two days, I went out to get some food. Normally, I went to the supermarket, but this time I went into the Greek shop, a small comer shop, because it was closer.

    I picked up some food and gave it to the shopkeeper, who asked me, "You look terrible, my boy! You are not feeling well, right?"

    I said YES in a low voice.

    She pointed at the salami (腊肠) and bread I was buying and offered, "I can make you a sandwich, so you don't have to do it yourself. "

    I nodded without saying a word.

    So, she made the sandwich and asked me to wait a moment. She went into the back room and came again with a bowl of hot soup.

    It will warm you up, she said with a friendly smile.

    What really warmed me up was not the soup. Her smile told me she cared about me. Her kindness reminded me of my mother.

    I had been quite shy, but from that day on, I did not let shyness prevent me from communicating with and being kind to others. Four years later, I found a job in a children's hospital in Africa. I love my work and people around me. I always bring my smile and kindness to them.

    Taking part in charity is not just for adult people. Kids can do it too! Melvin, 14, an American student , has done charity work for eight years . He has also encouraged his classmates to join him.

    Melvin studies at a middle school in Philadelphia. Recently, he collected 1,500 dollars by himself and 487 dollars from his classmates to donate to Cooper University Hospital.

    Melvin was born nine weeks premature (早产的) in Cooper University Hospital, weighing 2.4 kg . His father told him how Cooper saved his life, so he feels thankful to the hospital. Melvin's classmates joined him once they found out about his kind behavior. Their teacher, Michael also held a class with them about helping others. Michael said that it was not really about the money but about the fact they were doing something good.

    "It feels great, helping someone that I know," said one of Melvin's classmates. Melvin's neighbors also helped out. Since Melvin was 8, he and his parents have given money to Cooper University Hospital every year. This year, Stahl, the head of the hospital, went to Melvin's school to accept the money. The money goes to a part of the hospital that helps about 500 young patients every year. "When they leave, we call them graduates," Stahl said he and his workmates are pleased when their graduates and their families do well, like Melvin and his family.

    Fun and practical, these apps are worth downloading.

    Forest

    When working on your homework, you might sometimes find that your smartphone is distracting (使分心) you. An app called Forest can help you stay focused. When you set a new task in the app and set a certain amount of time to finish it, a tree seed (种子) will be "planted" in the app. If you keep finishing your task, the seed will grow into a tree. But if you close the app and play with your phone instead, the tree will wither (枯萎) and even die. Once you finish the task, your tree will be "planted" in the app. Gradually, you will have a forest! You can share your achievements with your friends and try to "plant" different kinds of trees.

    Rocket Alarm Clock

    It's hard to get out of bed every morning. You might hit the "snooze" button ("止闹"按钮) on your alarm clock again and again just to get a little more sleep. However，the Rocket Alarm Clock app can help!

    The app's alarm cannot be easily turned off. You have to shake your phone wildly, solve difficult math problems, or even blow into your phone's microphone to turn it off. For example, in one of the app's modes (模式), there are some UFOs that are attacking the earth. You have to blow hard on your microphone to get rid of the UFOs and turn off the alarm.

    Xiawen

    This app makes reading news feel like chatting with a friend. News stories pop up (弹出) just like a text message from a friend. If you're interested, you can click "read on". If not, just click "next one".
