My grandfather dug water wells in Indiana and started his business during the great depression.

Although nearly everyone was out of work, people still needed 1, so he didn't lack jobs. 2, in those days, it was awfully hard to get paid for what you did. One morning, a farmer showed up with a 3—a whole side of fresh beef on his shoulder. “I 4 this ought to make us equal on that digging, ”he said to my grandfather．Grandfather 5.

    It was wintertime, so the beef stayed fresh under damp cloth on the cold back porch(门廊). Each day, Nana stepped out onto the porch, 6 good piece of the meat, and carried it into the kitchen 7 it were pure gold.

    After a few days, Nana noticed the 8 had been moved. She asked grandfather if he had touched the beef. He hadn't. “Well, then. ”she said, “somebody's been eating our meat. Do you always lock the back door?” My grandfather told her not to 9. She probably had moved the cloth herself, and had 10 forgotten.

     This 11 for many days. Nana was 12 that someone was taking their meat, and grandfather just insisted she was 13 things. It wasn't until much later that we learned the real story.

     On the morning after grandfather set the meat out on the back porch door, he 14 some footprints near the door. He 15followed the footprints to where they began. Soon the footprints in the snow led my grandfather to a house he instantly 16. It was the home of a poor single mother with two young children. Grandfather 17 turned around and walked back home. He didn't say a word about it to anyone.

    From then on, Nana would carefully 18 the lock on the porch door each night to make sure it was 19. Then grandfather, after waiting for Nana to go to bed, would return to the porch and 20 the lock again. Nana never knew about the family they were helping to feed that winter.

    I work in a company in India which has branches in Germany and the UK，so I 1take business trips to these places．We have a tradition at the company that anybody coming back to India from a foreign country gets 2for all the other members of the company．Naturally the chocolates are finished in no time because everyone 3them and tries to get as many as possible．

    I 4 that the housekeeping staff members never had the chance to get even a single chocolate maybe because they were not as quick as others to take the chocolates．I felt it was5to them．

    Recently, I came back to India from Munich and I had 6a lot of chocolates for them．I met one of the housekeeping staff members called Babu．I gave him a packet of chocolates and told him to distribute(分发)them 7 in his department．His face lit up with joy and thanked me again and again，which made me very happy．

    But the 8didn't end here．The best part of it was that Babu actually distributed the chocolates to 9 in the company equally instead of just distributing them among members in his 10 ． So it was so touching for me to see this.

    I find it really hard to 11why we，who have the money to buy chocolates and other goodies，do not feel like12but just think about how to get more．13 ， Babu，who earns only just about enough to raise his family, was so generous and did not even 14one extra chocolate for himself．I want to request all of us learn from Babu for being so 15and caring!

    Being a sports reporter for more than a decade, I see “Olympic” as a1word to me. I found the word is also a(an)2for everyone to shine. This feeling3me when I was holding the Olympic torch for the4time on Monday in Seoul, the capital city of South Korea.

    I felt such a great5to be invited by the International Olympic Committee to be a torchbearer for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Games 6Chinese sports reporters. Ten years ago, I was invited by IOC to be a7for the 2008 Beijing Summer Games. I have now carried the torch in two different countries. I have 8how the Olympic flame 9everybody around it.

    When I arrived at the 10point for the torchbearers, all the staff and even passers-by cheered because they knew I would be joining the11. I could feel their heartfelt12 toward the Olympics. When a group of torchbearers left to join in the relay, all the people13 shouting “Fighting!” While I14my turn, many people came to take photos with me and the torch. In 101 days, the route15nine provinces and eight major cities across the country. With less than a month to go before the Games1 opening ceremonies in Pyeongchang, Seoul had been16 into an Olympic city as well.

    “Let everyone shine' is not just a slogan for the torch relay but 17the fact that ordinary people from every walk of life—students, bakers, teachers, farmer —are18.The Olympic spirit is a lot more than the19 of 'swifter, higher, and stronger.' 'Olympic, has the magic to bring everyone together to20their dreams.

    As I sat motionless on the steps of the pool, watching everyone else swim back and forth, I realized that I had spent most of my life watching others enjoy themselves. It was then that I 1a little girl staring at me with a look of confusion. I smiled at her, hoping to 2 the ice by talking to her. Unfortunately, my 3 failed and she just kept on staring. My 4 increased as a little boy swam up to me and said, "I feel sorry for you."

    After the 5 by chance, a thought struck me. I had to change 6 the world viewed me. Because it was children who stared at me the most, I decided to write a children's book that taught them about 7 in a fun way. This is when KatGirl, a super hero in a 8 who helps children that are being bullied, came into my mind.

    I quickly 9 inside my apartment and began creating the story. As I wrote each word, I could 10 my future as a world-famous author and public speaker. My excitement 11 like wildfire. Over the next two years, the story 12 many changes before it saw the world in the spring of 2011. My insistence 13 paid off.

    One day I was invited to speak to the students at a neighboring school. I confidently wheeled into a classroom filled with students who 14 at me just like the little girl in the pool. "How do you feel when you see me?" I asked them. The kids bravely 15, "I feel sorry for you."

    I opened my book and started reading. Immediately I noticed the children's stares turned to 16. "How do you feel when you see me?" I asked again. Without 17 they replied, "You are so cool! Does your 18 fly too?" I just smiled, "No, not yet, but maybe some day." I knew in my heart that this was 19. The past two years had proven to me that with 20 anything is possible.

    As she waited at the edge of the ice for her music to start, Peggy took a quick look at her father standing nearby with a group of parents and teachers. He smiled at her. Then she 1 out at the audience, 2 to see her mother. These two, Alvert and Doris Flemint, had 3 all the way from California more than 2,000 miles away, to see their 4 compete in this sports meet in Cleveland, Ohio.

    The music 5 and Peggy moved onto the ice, letting the music 6 her along into her turns, and she began skating with much 7 in herself. The cold fear she always had in the 8 seconds before skating onto the ice was 9. She was feeling the movement of the 10 and letting it carry her. She skated easily, 11 did some jumps, a final turn and her performance was 12.

    The crowd loved it and cheered 13 she skated off the ice. "Nice job," said one of the other 14. It was the remark that 15 came after a free-skating performance. But what should the 16 say? Standing beside her father, Peggy 17 for the scoring to be finished. On all sides were other young skaters, some waiting 18 alone, others with a parent. Shortly before 10 o'clock the results were 19.
