Mother Teresa was a symbol of hope and love to many dying and sick people around the world. She was the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(young) of three children and became a nun(修女) in a church later. One of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(she) first tasks was to run the schools in India. A year later, Sister Teresa arrived in Calcutta {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (teach) at St. Mary's High School.

She {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(final) moved to the poor area of Calcutta to live and set up a school. She almost gave every cent she ever owned to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}hungry and poor. She opened an orphanage (孤儿院) {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the homeless children to live in. She won many prizes because of her great work, and each time she would use the money from the prizes to help other people. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}a kind woman she was! And in 1979, she won the Nobel Peace Prize for what she did.

Through the years, her name changed to Mother Teresa. She was truly a mother to many. But life was not easy for her. She had heart problems and other {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (ill). But she never stopped helping those in need till the day she died.

"We {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(learn) a lot from her and done something like her," said some volunteers. "Mother Teresa's examples {#blank#}10{#/blank#}words continue to encourage us."
