Liu Wei is very famous in China because he can play the piano with his toes（脚趾）.

    One day when Liu Wei was only 10 years old, he played a game with some friends. He lost both his arms because of electricity(电).

    Liu Wei was very sad when both his arms were cut off after the accident.（事故） But soon he had to make a choice. (选择) "For people like me, there were only two choices. One was to give up（放弃）all the dreams. The other was to work hard without arms to live an excellent life." says Liu Wei.

    Liu's dream was to be a pianist. He had a wonderful performance（演奏）on China's Got Talent. He played the beautiful Marriage D'amour（《梦中的婚礼》）with his two feet on the piano.

    Liu Wei learned to play the piano with his feet. And teaching himself to play the piano with his feet was very hard. Many times he wanted to give it up, but his parents went on encouraging（鼓励） him and he kept playing the piano.

    Maybe you can not believe that Liu Wei is able to play well only with his toes. Many people were deeply touched and very excited when they watched his performance.

    It's June, and summer vacation will begin soon. That's a good thing. Most kids love summer vacation—they've worked hard during the school year and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

    It was Saturday again. Grace and Karen disliked Saturdays. That was another thing the twins had in common. They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell the difference between them sometimes.

    Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Grace had to attend the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet lesson. "How I wish I could do something different today," said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time. "What about exchanging our roles for a day?" they asked each other. It seemed like a wonderful plan. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen's ballet dress while Karen put Grace's brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes.

    When the art lesson started, Karen was lost. Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Karen didn't dare to hand in her work.

    Meanwhile, Grace had problems in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, "Karen, you should remember the basic steps."

    When Karen and Grace got home, they were tired out. They decided that they would never try to be someone else they were not. It seemed that the grass was not always greener on the other side.
