Shi Li and Cui Jiping are husband and wife. They are disabled. They completed the first Chinese encyclopedic(百科知识的) dictionary for deaf people and people with hearing problems.

    I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my father's words for the seasons were “Spring, Summer, Fairtime and Winter!”At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the busiest time of the year.

    When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the busiest person of the family. Grandma was a kind old lady. She was good at cooking. All her relatives liked the food she cooked. During “Fair time”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there. Grandma was always happy to look after them.

    Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no longer “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Grandma. We did our best to make her life comfortable. I was at high school then. What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspaper's crossword puzzle. However, she didn't look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.

    To attract（吸引） people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the fair. One day, when I came back from school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked much younger. She told me that her two nieces(侄女) would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they wanted to stay in my house again,” Grandma said happily. “They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week I've had in years!”

    I suddenly realized that Grandma didn't want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful” and helpful.

The elephant-foot drum is one of the most famous musical instruments of the Dai ethnic group (傣族). It got its name 1 it looks like the white elephant's leg. The drum-making skill was 2 as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2011.

Xie Wenping, 32 years old, used to 3 his grandfather to learn how to make a drum. His grandfather made elephant-foot drums for a living. "I wanted to make more and better 4 when I grew up." Xie said. Making an elephant-foot drum which is made of special wood is 5 . It usually takes about 30 steps and one month to finish the work. After Xie chooses the wood 6 , he needs to carve (雕刻) the wood into an elephant-leg-like shape and take out the wood. "A good elephant-foot drum 7 have thick and loud sound." Xie explained. The work of making the drum is boring, but whenever Xie sees his grandfather's smile while making the drum, he feels 8 again. "Over the years, fewer and fewer people are excellent in making elephant-foot drums." Xie said, "I feel like I should carry it on."

Xie tries to make the elephant-foot drum 9 to places outside Yunnan. He wants to get more people to know about 10 . He came up with the idea of making key chains (链子) shaped like the elephant-foot drum. "Tourists love them!" Xie said.

My day began when I saw my six-year-old son Jonathan doing something in the garden by my azalea bush(杜鹃花丛). By the time I got out, I found he had broken it! It was my favorite!

"Can I take this to school?" he asked, smiling. Though a bit 1 , I nodded in agreement. Then I turned back to the broken bush and touched it as if to say silently, "I'm sorry." Later I pruned(修剪) it 2 .

The rest of the day, I was busy doing endless housework. Time had passed by fast before I realized it was already 3:00. Leaving the clothes in the washing machine, I hurriedly got to school to pick up Jonathan. When I got there, the teacher told me she wanted to talk about Jonathan.

"What now?" I thought.

I had prepared myself for the worst, 3 the teacher's words greatly surprised me. "Did you know Jonathan brought 4 to school today?" she asked. I nodded, thinking about my favorite bush. "See that little girl? How happy she is now!" the teacher continued. I saw a 5 child busily drawing a picture with crayons(蜡笔). I nodded again.

"Well, her parents are separated and she has been 6 these days. I did all I could to comfort her, but nothing 7 . This morning I watched your son walk over to her with some pretty pink flowers and say, "This is for you."

I felt my heart full of pride for what my son had done. Holding Jonathan's hand, I said, "Thank you! You've 8 my day.''

I was warmed by the 9 Jonathan showed to the little girl, and I made up my mind to pass it on. Later that evening when my husband came back home from a tiring workday, I 10 some pink azaleas and handed them to him. "This is for you," I said.
