    Gladys Holm was a secretary(秘书). She worked in an office all his life. Gladys made about $15,000 a year. She died when she was 86 years old. And she left a big surprise—$18 million! She gave the money to a children's hospital.

    Gladys Holm never got married or had any children. But she always liked children, and she wanted to help them. When her friend's daughter was ill in hospital, Gladys brought her a toy bear. After that, she visited the hospital many times. Every time she visited, she brought toy bears for those children. After that, people started to call Gladys the "Toy bear Lady."

    Gladys always gave toys and presents to her friends and family but no one knew she had a lot of money. She lived in a small house outside Chicago.

Feng Boyao and MengShuqi found that their city library didn't have enough Braille books for blindpeople and many of the Braille books were out of date. 

So, they teamed up to help the blind by fixing the problem. Feng and Meng both studied at No.37 MiddleSchool in Taiyuan, Shanxi province. They invented a new kind of Braille reader. Their work won first prize ina national competition aiming to nurture creative thinking by encouraging youths to solve social problems. The invention was also granted(授予)a national patent(专利). When connected to a computer, their Braillereader can turn words into raised dots(凸起的点). Blind people can read by touching the dots, which aremagnets(磁铁). This is the first Braille reader that uses magnets. 

"We found that today's Braille readers are very difficult and expensive," Feng said. "So, we decided todevelop a user-friendly product, especially for young blind children from grades1 to 3. Moreover, it only costsabout 2000 yuan."

After making their first device, Feng and Meng visited a school for the blind to get advice and improvedit based on the students' needs, like changing the size of the screen and the amount of space between the dots. "We hope the invention will be popularized(普及)in the future to help those blind people who can't affordthe Braille reader now," Meng told Taiyuan News.

My parents always told me that I couldn't dance, because it was a girl's sport. But I never gave up my 1  of becoming a dancing star. I practised secretly, learning from books, movies, and shows. However, without my parents' support, that dream seemed impossible to reach. 

One summer, my little sister Maggie was going to dance lessons. I immediately asked 2  parents for permission(允许) to take her to the lessons. What a 3  chance to learn dancing!

One afternoon, I was practising a new dance in my room when Maggie walked 4

"What's the matter, Maggie?"I stopped 5

"Denis, you are a great dancer! Can you help me?"

"What is it?"I wondered. 

"There'll be a dancing performance in my school, 6  the boys think I'm slow, and non e of them wants to be my partner. 7  you dance with me for it?" She looked at me anxiously. 

"You can be a good dancer!"I encouraged her. "Let's show those people that they have been 8  for months. " We 9  every evening, hiding from my parents. I was having a fantastic time and 10  Maggie improved a lot. 

Finally came the big day. I became 11  when I heard my parents would come to watch the performance. As the 12  began, I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. We moved perfectly, shining with pride. From the cheering of the crowd, I was sure our dance was a big 13

My heart was beating wildly when I saw my 14  coming towards me. He put his hand on my shoulder, "Well done, son. Though it is hard for me to admit it, you really looked like you belonged to this stage(舞台). Go for it and make us proud. "

I'd been 15  this moment for so long. I knew that the road ahead wasn't going to be easy, but I wouldn't give up. I wanted nothing more in life than to dance.
