The Girl From the Street
The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage(孤儿院)knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else—to be independent(独立). At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began working as a secretary.(秘书)And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.
Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn't good enough.” She says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.
Mary studied management(管理)at Hong Kong and graduated in 1980, She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places—China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family.
The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.

    Recently,there was a report about a special app called "notOK".A 13-year-old girl Hannah Lucas and her brother Charlie put their heads together to create this app last year.

    Hannah has been suffering from an illness that causes her to pass out since she was little.This is very dangerous if there is no one around.She was also being bullied(欺凌)by some students at school.So she searched for an app that would allow her to press a button so that a friend or a family member would know immediately that she needed help.After realizing there was no such thing,Hannah and her brother decided to do something about it.After some research,Hannah made some early drawings of what the app might look like.Then,after taking a programming class,Charlie began to think about the best way for the app to work.

    They wanted something that would send a text message to up to five contacts that reads:"Hey,I'm not OK.Please call me,text me,or come and find me",along with a link to the user's current GPS location.

    They started looking for someone to help them make the app.And when Hannah shared her dream with people in a summer business class which she attended two years ago,they were really excited about the app.They thought of many different marketing ideas.By mid—December last year, "notOK" app was finished as a birthday present for Hannah from Charlie."It was exactly what we wanted,"Charlie said.

    In today's age,most people will agree that apps like these are great.Whether you're suffering from illness,or anything emergent(紧急的),writing a text message or making a phone call to get the help you need can be difficult.

    Hannah is happy to know that her app will help more people."It's like I went through my dark times so I could help people through theirs,"she said.

    Miss Mitra didn't want to be a Sunday school teacher any longer. The students there were all rude and never listened to her. "I give up." She shouted at the students. "Cool." Rick said. He was the most impolite kid in this school. Two months later, Miss Betty Ray came to the school. She looked young. The students thought that she wouldn't stay very long.

    "Have any of you ever been out of state?" She asked in a friendly tone. A few hands went up.

    "Anyone has traveled to California?" One hand went up as the disrespectful(无礼的) laugh reduced.

    "Anyone visited outside the country?" No hands went up now. The silent kids were puzzled.

    Betty took a map of the world from her bag.

    "What else do you have there? Lunch?" Someone cracked.

    Betty smiled lightly and answered, "Cookies for later." "Cool," Rick quipped(困惑的).

    Then she pointed at a place on the map, "I was born here, and I lived here until I was about your age."

    "Is that Texas?" Someone asked.

    "No. Quite a long way from here. It is Mumbai in India."

    Betty fumbled again in her bag, this time pulling out some old wrinkled pictures along with a box of chocolate chip cookies. They passed the pictures around, viewing each with great interest.

    The kids studied them as they bit into the sweets.

    The hour quickly slid by as she told them her stories about faraway places and what the people were like there and how they lived.

    "Wow, this is as exciting as TV!" One young girl told her.

    Sunday after Sunday, Betty came to class, tying her lessons to their everyday lives. She told the kids how they could make a difference right now. The students grew to love her.

    Betty taught that Sunday school class for thirty years. At last, her hair grew into a natural gray.

    Every now and then, she received a letter from a former student. There was a doctor, a research scientist, a homemaker, a businessman, and many teachers among them. One day she pulled out a blue envelope from her mailbox. And there was a photo in it. Squinting her eyes, she smiled at the man in the photo, still seeing the boy in him. Standing in the rubble(瓦砾), in the city of Delhi, India, he came to help the homeless people in the earthquake. Some words were written in the upper part of the photo, "Because of you, I am here now."
