Twenty-five years2, another professor read about the earlier reports .He told his students to3what happened to the boys. They tried very hard and found that 176 of 4boys had become successful as doctors, teachers or scientists.

The best way of learning a language is by using it. The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as possible. Sometimes you will get your words mixed up and people will not understand you. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can't understand them. But if you keep your sense of humor, you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes. Don't be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes. It is much better for people to be laughing at your mistakes than to be angry because they don't understand what you are saying. The most important rule for learning English is, "Don't be afraid of making mistakes, everyone makes mistakes."
That morning, Pastor (牧师) Tipton spoke about the program on helping needy children. When the service ended, I picked one of the letters written by needy kids. My child was a boy. He wanted a pair of popular sports shoes, black, size 9.
Then I went to have coffee with a heavy heart. After I paid all my bills (账单) this month, I only had 30 dollars left now. I wouldn't find the popular sports shoes for that price. The situation brought something painful to my mind.
In my first year of teaching, I liked a first-grader Cameron. His father had no job but Cameron always smiled. Our school had a program. Teachers would give gifts to needy students on Christmas morning .On Cameron's wish list was a scooter (踏板车). So I bought it and left it in the school office with other gifts.
After the Christmas holiday, I learned Cameron had got only a book. I remembered I'd written his name. So I went to ask the headmaster. Then he told me Cameron's parents probably returned the scooter to the store and got the money. How sad I felt!
But how could I let down this boy? The next day, I stopped at a store. After checking the shelves twice, I found a pair of black sports shoes, size9 at the very bottom of one shelf. The price was S24.99. Then I sent the shoes out. Weeks later, a thank-you card arrived, together with a photo of a boy proudly wearing a pair of black sports shoes. A feeling of happiness filled my heart.
In late March, 2020, Fudan University Press published (出版) a book called COVID-19, From Basics To Clinical Practice in Chinese. ZhangWenhong, the leading expert of the Shanghai team treating COVID-19 patients at Shanghai Huashan Hospital, helped finish the book by leading a team.
To help other countries know more about treating COVID-19 patients, Fudan University Press decided to translate (翻译) the book into other languages. On March 27, the press began to look for translation volunteers. Within five days, it received emails from hundreds of volunteers home and abroad. They were from all over the country as well as some foreign countries like the US, the UK, Spain, Australia and Egypt.
The press finally chose thirteen volunteers from China and the rest of the world to translate the book into English. Each volunteer needed to translate around 15,000 Chinese characters within a week. "We've also decided to translate the book into French, German, Spanish, Italian and Persian. We will race against time to choose and organize volunteers for these translations," said Zhang Yongbin from Fudan University Press.
Of the translation volunteers, around three in ten were university students. The others were doctors, medical workers, language teachers, etc. Jia Huei Chen-Xu, a 24-year-old medical student from Spain, volunteered to help translate the book into Spanish. She said she paid more attention to something in the book. In her opinion, it would provide new ideas for researchers around the world.
Street stalls (摊位) are making a comeback in China after the government announced (宣布) its support in street stalls to the public.
Chengdu has set up at least 36,000 street stalls since the end of May. Changchun reported that it would encourage and support the opening of night markets. Yichang in Hubei Province has allowed stores to set up roadside stalls.
In fact, street stalls are not new in China. Later, to have a more beautiful environment, many cities made strict rules over street stalls. So there were fewer and fewer street stalls.
Now, thanks to the government's support, street stalls have returned.
There are new rules for the return of street stalls. For example, people in Chengdu can only set up street stalls in special areas so that they would not affect traffic. There are also new types of street stalls. In a night market called "Anyi Night Market" in Shanghai, there are not only food sellers, but also designers and artists selling their own works.
Street stalls are welcomed by the public. For many people, they can relax and enjoy themselves in street stalls after a day's work.

My family moved to America last year from a small town in North China.
I had a part time job as a in a Chinese restaurant. One day, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how I could bring their food so . I told her I always respected the elderly. I found herwhen she heard that. My manager heard my words. He took me aside and told me that Americans were sensitive ( 敏感的) to andthe description ( 描述) of "old". I then walked back to the table andsaid sorry to the wife. After they learned about the , they understood that the problem was caused by cultural, so they laughed.
In the USA, people think "growing old" is a problem. There many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by , like jogging or swimming. When I told the couple I respected the elderly, they got angry because this made them feel theyto stay young. They didn't want to hear that.
Now I have changed the way I treat the elderly. I still respect them, but now in a different, lessway.
You must have remembered the story from your childhood: an old man was worried about his sons because they always quarreled with each other. So one day he asked them to break a bundle(捆) of chopsticks tied together. Clearly, none of them could. But when the bundle was untied, they were able to break each chopstick easily. Why? This is because of the power of unity(团结).
Dr. John Maxwell, in his book Success Journey says that every success is not something you can achieve alone. Think about it —if at the end of all the achievements, you find yourself alone, will you call it success in a real sense? It is known to all of us that success always belongs to unity. But we often seem to forget it when it comes to individual(个人的) success. Most of us consider our success as a personal thing.
Your dream and your success do not belong to you alone. Even though you work hard towards your dream, there are people who are working behind you to make sure that you are able to give yourself a hundred percent energy.
Do you think that it is possible without unity? Don't you feel that these people are doing their best so that you can be successful? And so, unity plays an important role, even if you are talking about your personal success. Just like those chopsticks, they can't be broken only when they are tied together.
So, it is your responsibility to keep unity if you really want to be successful in your trip. Only if you always treat things and people seriously, you will succeed because all the things and people around you have connections in some way.
The writer did it by telling a(n)about an old man and his sons.
Every success is not something you can achieve alone but belongs to .
Because there are peopleto support you.
It refers to the of each other.
The writer used as an example to support the idea.

A: I'd like to go to Green Land!?
B: Go down the street and turn left at the third crossing. Then you will be on the Main Street. You will see Green Land is between the post office and Milly's Café.
A:.
B: You're welcome.
