    Ronny looked like every other kid in the classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mom. However, he had a speech problem so he couldn't 1 like other kids in his grade.

     I worked with all the students in Ronny's class one by one to improve their reading skills. On the days when it was Ronny's 2, I'd give him a silent smile, that's why he sat very close to me and opened the book as if he was opening a treasure that 3 had ever seen.

    I watched his fingers move 4 under each letter as he struggled* to read out. Every time he 5 to read a word with a strange pronunciation, the biggest smile would spread across his face and his 6 would shine with pride, which broke my heart each and every time.

    A few weeks 7 the school year ended, I held an awards ceremony*. I presented Ronny with a book written by 8. A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I 9 Ronny on a chair near the playground, the book open in his lap. His head teacher said, “ He hasn't 10 that book since you gave it to him. Do you know that's his first book he's ever actually owned?”

    Deeply moved, I walked 11 Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked, “Will you read me your book, Ronny?” For the next few minutes, he read to me more 12 than I'd ever thought possible from him. The pages were already dog-eared, like the book had been read 13 times already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction, “ 14 good book!"

    At that moment,as a writer, I knew I would get 15 about my own writing and do what that writer had done, and probably still does — care enough to write a story that changes a child's life, care enough to make a difference.

    If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Little Prince. It's a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言). Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film(动画片).

    The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击) into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.

    China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions—in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in a beautiful way.

    Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.

    "The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince, and it's a pity that this good characteristic(品质) goes away as time flies," he says.
