There was a story many years ago of a school teacher— Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn't play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.

    Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed(惭愧的) of herself. She felt even worse, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother's perfume(香水)。

    Teddy said, "Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to." After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.

    Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy's mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.

    Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D.(医学博士).

    The story doesn't end there. On his wedding（婚礼） day, Dr. Stoddard whispered（低声的说） in Mrs. Thompson's ear, "Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference."

    Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, "Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn't know how to teach until I met you."

    What do you think will happen when the traditional culture meet modern technology? Yes, the words become lively characters at once. How happy it is to enjoy these Chinese cartoons!

    When talking about Chinese Women's Volleyball Team, we have to talk about one person, Lang Ping. She uses her strong will and professional ability to help Chinese Women's Volleyball Team go to the world stage。

    Dating back to 2013, it was so hard for Lang to make her decision of keeping on her volleyball career. At that time, there was something wrong with her body. But later, when she thought about the future of Chinese Women's Volleyball Team, on April 25, 2013, she firmly accepted the position—coach(教练) of Chinese Women's Volleyball Team.

    Since then, she started her tough and busy life of volleyball again. It was not easy to make the women volleyball players better— trained. She met many difficulties when improving their skills of playing. But she never said impossible. Whatever happened, she treated the volleyball players seriously every year.

    Finally, all her efforts paid off. In 2016, Chinese Women's Volleyball Team won the gold medal in the Rio Olympics. At the same time, people in the world felt the charm of the spirit of Chinese Women's Volleyball Team again.

    Jim goes to Tokyo. He wants to see his aunt. But when he walks out of the station, he can't find his way. The city is now quite different. He sees a man outside a police station, so he goes up to ask him for help. The man looks at him for a long time, then says, “I'm sorry, sir. I'm from another city.

    One day, John read an advertisement in a newspaper. It said "Wanted. The best salesman in the world." John thought he was a great salesman and went to ask for the job. "I'm the best salesman in the world," he said to the manager. "Give me the job."

   "You must prove you're the best," the manager said.

   "OK I will," John said.

   "Good." The manager took several boxes of sweets out of his desk." Last week I bought a thousand boxes of sweets. If yon can sell them all before the end of the week, yon can have the job," said the manager.

   "That's easy," John said. He took the boxes of sweets and left the office.

    Every day and all day he went from shop to shop, trying to sell the sweets. But he couldn't sell one. The sweets were too bad for him to sell. At the end of the week he went back to the manager." I'm sorry, sir," he said," I was wrong about myself. I'm not the best salesman in the world, but I know who is."

   "Oh" said the manager. "Who?"

   "The person who sold you a thousand boxes of the sweets."
