    Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Canada. One day, when she was five years old, she was walking with her mother in downtown. They saw a man 1 out of a rubbish can. She asked her mother why he did that and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry. Hannah was very 2. She couldn't understand why some people had to live their lives without houses or enough food. Hannah started to think about how she could 3, but, of course, there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve the problem of homelessness.

    Later ,when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was a woman, 4 an old shopping trolley（购物车）which was full of 5. It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them. Hannah 6 to do something. She had been talking to her mother about the lives of homeless people 7 they first saw the homeless man. Her mother told her that if she did something to change the problem, she wouldn't 8 so bad.

    Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness. She hoped to 9 her message of hope. She started the Ladybug Foundation(基金) and began to raise money.

    Hannah is one of many examples of young people who are making a 10 in the world. You can, too!

    One morning Mr Green is driving around the country and 1a small bookshop. When he sees an old man2 the other side of the road, he stops his car and says to the old man. "Excuse me. I want3to the Sun Bookshop. Do you know it?"

    "Yes," the old man answers, "I 4you the way." He5Mr Green's car, and they drive about twelve miles.  6they come to a small house, the old man says, "Stop here." Mr Green stops and7 the house. "But this isn't the8." he says to the old man. "Right," the old man answers, "This is my house. And now I'll show you the9to the bookshop. Turn around and go back nine miles. 10you'll see the bookshop. ''

    A group of boys gathered around a tree. "What a tall tree!" they said to each other. "It would be 1to climb to the top!"

    The group of boys then decided to play a game to see who could climb to the top of the tree2. Their mothers were sitting not far away, looking on at their children as they 3.

    One of the climbers was an 8-year-old boy named David. He was the shortest child in the group. Nobody thought he would4 the competition.

    Then the game started. All of the boys tried their best to climb as5 as they could. Although they all made it halfway up the tree before David did, he reached the top of the tree fastest6.

    His mother was proud to see this. She asked him, "David, how did you 7to reach the top of the tree so quickly?"

    "It was easy," David said. "The other children kept looking down as they climbed. When they realized how high they were, they got scared(恐惧的) and were afraid of    8down. I, however, looked only 9. When I saw how close I was, I kept going higher and higher until I reached the top."

    It is true in life that if we just keep going forward without looking back, we are more likely to reach our goals(目标).

    A lady wanted a birthday gift from her husband. For many months she had liked a beautiful ring, and knowing her husband could1it, she told him that was all she wanted. On the morning of the birthday, her husband told her how2he was to have such a good wife, and how much he loved her. He gave her a beautiful gift package. She opened it and 3 a Bible(《圣经》).Angrily, she raised her voice and said to her husband, "With all your money, you give me a Bible？”She was so 4 that she left him.

    Many years passed and the lady was very5in business. She owned two large companies. She 6her husband was very old, and thought perhaps she could go to 7him. But before she could, she received a letter telling her that he had died, and gave all of his possessions(财产)to her. She needed to come back and take care of things.

    When she arrived at his house, sadness filled her heart. She saw the 8 new Bible, just as she had left it years before. With tears in her eyes, she opened it and began to turn the pages. A ring9from the Biole to the floor and a card could be seen. She picked it up and found it was the ring she wanted in those days. And on the card was the date of her birth, and the words" LOVE YOU ALWAYS".

    10your gift is not packed in the way you want it, it's because it is better packaged in the way it is！Always appreciate little things; they usually lead you to bigger things! The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched for they must be felt with the heart.

    I saw my first butterfly of the spring today. I was 1 some food and other things into my house when suddenly the little lady 2 right down in front of my face.

    3 stayed there for a long time, gently dancing in the air. She was so beautiful that my eyes became filled with tears and my heart 4 with love. Then she left for some delicious flowers growing in my garden. I smiled, wiped my 5 and felt thankful for the wonder of life.

    Butterflies have held a 6 place in my heart since I lost my mother to cancer when she was 7 fifty-five years old. She used to love it when the butterflies would land near her while she worked in the 8. She would even speak to them 9 her musical voice. After she died l would 10 her whenever I saw one of those gentle angels(天使)flying by. I even told my young children that every time they saw a 11 dancing in the gentle wind, it was their grandmother saying "Hello" from 12.

    When today's butterfly dropped in to say "Hello", I once again felt joy beyond words. I felt like l was dancing on the clouds with my mother 13 a thousand angels were singing. Someone 14 say I'm cheating myself, but I know this isn't so. Cheating doesn't fill your heart with 15.The next time you get your own" Hello" from heaven ,just welcome it into your heart and let it help you to be a loving person.
