    I believe that we can have an important effect on anyone we meet. The right words at just the right time could change someone's life. When I was three years old, my parents discovered I was deaf. After asking many doctors and parents of other deaf children, they decided to put me in a normal school.

    On my first day in the school, the other kids made fun of me because of my hearing aid. And then I saw myself as an ugly kid.

    Mrs. Jordan, my teacher changed all of that with a simple three-word phrase. One morning, she asked the class a question. I read her lips(嘴唇) and raised my hand right away. She called me. I took a deep breath and nervously answered Mrs. Jordan's question.

    I will never forget what happened next. Mrs. Jordan pointed directly at me. With a big smile she cried,

    "That's right, Stephen! "For the first time in my young life, my confidence soared(剧增).At that moment, I decided that no matter how many difficulties I may face, I can overcome(克服) them. Just from those three simple words, my life changed from that moment.

Enjoying the beauty of the sky at night is a difficult thing for people in cities since light pollution destroys everything. 1 , photos taken by astrophotographers (天文摄影师) offer people chances 2 the beautiful stars. 

Zhang Jingyi, 27, is 3 space lover and full - time astrophotographer. When Zhang was asked 4 she chose this career, she answered, "Because we all dream of living on a planet far from us. Doesn't it sound 5 ?"

With the fast development of China's space science, Zhang started to record rocket launching moments. "I carefully follow the development of the Tiangong space station with one of my favourite 6 . Every launch 7 me a strong sense of achievement. " she said. And then she added, "Some photographers 8 sell their work-some photos even reach six digits (六位数), but I believe that my photos are priceless and cannot 9 . " As a famous user on Sina Weibo with 10 followers, Zhang also films videos to give her audience a much 11 impression on her works, so that she can have more followers. 

In Zhang's opinion, astrophotographers need to be faithful to their careers. They should always work hard, or they will feel ashamed 12 themselves. For example, when taking photos of the stars, they have to do that on the cold highlands at night. "These difficulties are nothing if you 13 love what you do, " Zhang said. 14 experience is also important. "There isn't a detailed guidebook for creating art, " Zhang said. "You have to learn from 15 own works. Then you can add personal thoughts into them and see them improving. "
