I often asked my mother forhelp when I had something difficult to do. But she always said, "Do it yourself,dear." I was not happy about this at all. I thought she was the1 mother in the world!
For example, one day, I decidedto invite some friends of2 to my home. My bedroom was in a mess. Books wereeverywhere, and I didn't make the bed. I asked my mother to help me clean it,3 she still said, "Do it yourself."
Because of my "lazy mother",I had to wash my clothes and clean my room. I had to help my parents do4. I even had to go to the dentistby myself. It was really hard for me to do everything well, but I have learned alot. As time goes by, I5 my mother. She made me clever and hardworking.She is a great mother.
Sixteen years ago, I learnedan important life1in the back of a New City taxi.
I was on my2to Grand Central Station, andwe were driving in the right way when a black car3sped out of a parking spaceright in front of us.
My driver hit the brakes（刹车） hard, and4the other car by a few centimeters.The driver of the other car, the man who had just nearly caused a huge accident,started5at us. My taxi driver just smiledand moved his hand. He was really6!
"Why did you just do that?"I asked him, "This guy almost destroyed your car and7have sent us to the hospital!"This was when my taxi driver told me8I now call "the Law ofGarbage Trucks (垃圾车)".
"Many people are like garbagetrucks. They run around full of garbage, full of9and full of disappointment,"he said. "10their garbage is more and more,they need a place to dump(丢弃) it, and if you let them, they'lldump it on you. So when someone wants to dump garbage on you, just smile, move yourhand, wish them well, and move on. You'll be11 because of what you have done.
I started thinking,12do I let garbage trucks runright over me? And how often do I take their garbage and dump it on other people– at work, at home, or on the street? It was on that day that I said: "I'mnot going to dump13."
Successful people do not letGarbage Trucks influence them. What about you? If you let more garbage trucks passyou by, you'll be happier. Life is too short to14 in the morning with regrets. So, love the peoplewho treat you right.15 the ones who don't.
One pleasant New-year morning, Edward's father gave him two bright, new silver dollars. He had wishes for a long time to buy some new books.
As he ran down the street to the bookstore, he saw a poor German family, the father, mother and three children walking in the cold wind.
"I wish you a happy New Year." said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man shook his head, for he could not understand or speak English. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children, as if to say, "These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time."
Edward quickly understood that these people were poor and in trouble. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife.
When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. "I have bought no books," said he, "I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry and tired. I think I can wait for my books till next New Year." "My dear boy," said his father, "here are some books. I give them to you, more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift."
"Always be ready to help people around you every year of your life will be a HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can't see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because they are not careful. They forgot to look and listen before they cross the road.
How can we lessen (减少) traffic accidents？All of us must follow the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn't drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians (行人), it's very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements (人行道). We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It's not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Teens should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street.
a. Make sure that the road is clear. b. Walk quickly. c. Stop and look both ways.
I was once in a class in which none of the students would ever graduate. Each student in our class seemed to be a troublemaker. None of our teachers had stayed for longer than a week until Mrs Cosby came.
One morning, the door to the classroom opened and a new teacher walked in. It was Mrs Cosby. She looked very kind. And we surely gave her a hard time and thought she wouldn't stay for more than a week. But no matter what we did, she never got stroppy with us. And slowly we got worried about how to drive her away.
Then came the last day of the first month. She went into the classroom with some pieces of paper in her hands. We feared that the worst would happen—a test. However, it wasn't a test, but something surprised us. Mrs Cosby gave each of us a piece of paper. On each piece of paper she had written what the student had been good at during the last month. We were surprised, No one had ever encouraged us before she came. We had been always told we were the silliest in the world. But she told us we were intelligent in some way.
From that day we started to believe in ourselves. From that day we stopped making her life hard and began to study really hard. Other teachers couldn't understand what happened to us. But we knew the reason—each month we got a piece of paper telling us what we were good at from Mrs Cosby.
And then came the day of our graduation. That day Mrs Cosby told us that she was proud of us. She said she knew we were good students and that we could succeed. What we needed was to believe in ourselves.
I will never forget the tenth summer of childhood with my grandfather in western Norway at the mountain farm where my mother was born. As a boy, I always thought people simply bought whatever they need. Whether Grandfather know this, I don't know. One day he said, "Come, I have something for you."
I followed him to a workroom. "You should have a toy boat. You can sail it at Storvassdal." He said. Great, I thought, looking around for the boat. But there was none.
Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. "The boat is in there," he said. Then he handed me some tools and showed me how to use them properly. "It'll be a fine boat, and you'll make it with your own hands," he said," No one can give you what you do for yourself." The words rang in my head as I worked. Finished the boat. It wasn't much to look at, but I was pound. Then I sailed it at Storvassdal.
We had to return to America. "You cannot bring that boat home with you," my mother said. We already had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I hid my boat under a big rock at Storvassdal.
I said good-bye to Grandfather, not knowing I would never see him again.
In 1964, I went to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children. To my surprise, for 34 years my treasure stayed here, waiting for my return. I felt we three were together again although my grandfather had died 22 years before.
I carved"1930"and"1964" on its side and put it back.
I returned to the lake in 1968, 1971, 1977 and 1988. Each time I had the boat and carved the year, my grandfather seemed near.
My last trip to Storvassdal was in 1991. I brought my granddaughters: Catherine, 13; Claire,12. I hoped they would understand the importance of the little boat and its simple message. At Storvassdal, Claire said softly,"Grandpa, someday I'll come back." She added," And I'll bring my children."

While he was going home, a dirty dog followed him. The dog was weak because it had a sore leg. After he found the dog was badly , he let it follow him home.
The little boy's mother taught him to be and friendly. However, when the little boy asked his mother he would let the dog come into the house or not, she hesitated(犹豫). "We have no room for it," said she. The poor dog seemed to understand she said. It looked so sad! The little boy almost cried when he saw the dog's big looking up to him sadly.
His mother was actually kind, too. She did not drive the poor hungry dog away, but let it in the yard. The little boy gave the dog some , water and clean dry grass to lie on. They also made it clean.
After a few days the dog was with the help of the boy and his mother. It began to show how happy and thankful it was. Because of their kindness, the dog found a home. It did what a dog could do to be a helpful family member.
Have you watched the Chinese Poetry Conference(中国诗词大会)? It was a popular TV show during the Spring Festival. It reminds people of many ancient Chinese poems (诗).
The TV show helps people find the beauty of Chinese poetry. After watching the show, a lot of people said, "How beautiful Chinese poetry is!" It also introduces an excellent girl to us—Wu Yishu. Wu is a 16-year-old student from Shanghai. She beat other competitors(参赛者) in the Chinese Poetry Conference on February 7, 2017. "We are not surprised at her success," one of Wu's teachers said, "She really loves Chinese poetry."
Wu fell in love with ancient poetry when she was a little child. She would feel excited as soon as she read it. She said, "Chinese poetry gives me different feelings. I don't care about the result of the competition. I just love poetry. It brings me joy and fun." It is said that Wu has already remembered about 2,000 poems by now. How amazing!
Wu's great performance in the show helped her win lots of fans. Are you one of them?
