    When I was 13 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.

    It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.

    Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt that my heart broke. I couldn't talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn't want my parents to worry about me.

    Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy came into the classroom. I didn't know who he was. He passed me and turned back. He looked at me and without a word, smiled.

    Suddenly(突然), I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm.

    That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.

    One day, I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn't remember smiling at me! It doesn't matter because all the dark days have gone. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

举一反三
Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.
My father died when I was nine months old. Mom and I lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”
At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that I could walk again if I wanted strongly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own!
When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support both of us. At that moment, I decided never to be poor again.
Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I wasn't satisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they asked me an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for many American families. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never ask extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.
Of course mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. But with my mother's support and encouragement, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world — Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income (收入) of $ 1 billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.

Trisha loves playing with dolls(玩偶). She has {#blank#}1{#/blank#} of clothes for them. And every day she tries to think of new ways to play with them. 

One day she thought of getting a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} for her dolls. However, doll houses are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to buy. She didn't have enough money. And she didn't want to ask her parents for the money. So she decided to make one by {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. 

She found some cardboard(硬纸板) and a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of scissors, and set to work. She spent an hour cutting the cardboard into small pieces and using them to build a house with six rooms. It was large enough, but Trisha wasn't satisfied(满意的) with {#blank#}6{#/blank#} it looked like— its color was ugly(难看的). 

Trisha then used old wallpaper of beautiful colors to do some improvement. As soon as she{#blank#}7{#/blank#} that, her parents came back. They couldn't wait to help her. Mom made some beds and Dad made some wooden furniture. Then the house looked a lot {#blank#}8{#/blank#} beautiful. 

Trisha looked at the house {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a smile. She was tired. It was a long process, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it was really fun. She finally found something new for her dolls, and she felt it great to make something herself.

More than Just a Scientist

What would life be like if you were a rocker, a soccer player, a teacher at Stanford University, and a Nobel Prize winner? Carolyn Bertozzi from the US lives such a cool life!

Bertozzi shared the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry(化学) with Barry Sharpless(US) and Morten Meldal(Denmark). She became that year's only woman winner in science and the eighth woman to receive the chemistry prize in history. 

Bertozzi won the prize for studying the sugar coats of cells(细胞). She has found a smart way to connect cells by connecting their sugar coats. The cells then have a green colour so that scientists can see clearly where they are and how they move. According to the University of California, Berkeley, this finding made lots of research possible and easier, such as developing better tests for infectious diseases(传染病) and new treatments for cancer(癌症治疗). 

Although she is successful now, Bertozzi said she was not very interested in chemistry until her second year at Harvard University. "The professors made the class very difficult on purpose, "she told Chemistry World magazine. "My classmates felt really hard and have words with them, but it matched my brain. "Apart from doing science studies, Bertozzi has lived a colourful life. She was a keyboarder(键盘手) in a rock band. "I even used to think about studying music, "she said. She also played soccer, and won an athletic scholarship(体育奖学金) from Harvard. 

As a woman scientist, Bertozzi tries to improve gender equality(性别平等). "In the late 1980s, maybe 10 percent of the students were girls, "she told news magazine Chemical & Engineering News. "There were maybe one or two women in a lab, so we tried to support each other by starting a monthly get-together for all the women students in the department. "And Bertozzi won a prize from the American Association for the Advancement of Science for her work to increase diversity(多样化) in science.
