The incident was reported in the newspapers; Arthur 5 his involvement, but the boys would not change their story. The 6 part for Arthur was worrying about what his father would say and do.

    A few days ago my family and I were out for an evening walk. As we headed home, dark 1 started rolling in and we knew we probably wouldn't make it back without getting wet. 2 enough, the rain started falling just as we3our neighborhood. We all 4 down the street and into the house but when we got there I noticed that one of my sons was5I went back out in the rain and found him  6 in an irregular pattern in front of the house. His face was one of 7as he seemed to be going in circles. This is my child that usually hates getting 8.

    I shouted to him, “What are you doing?!!”

    “I hate getting wet!” he 9 back.

    “Then why are you running around in the 10 ? Hurry inside!”

    “I'm trying to but I have to 11 the rain drops!”

    He was getting more wet than any of the rest of us12 he was trying to avoid the raindrops. As I went and put him 13 my arm and walked him inside, I realized that there is a good14in this story.

    How often do you15life “avoiding the raindrops”? How often do you get so worried about the little 16that might happen, the failures that you miss out on the great 17 that you could be having? We can spend all of our time running around in circles trying not to fail or we can accept that failure is going to come and 18forward anyway.

    When I was eight, I wrote my first poem. My mother read and cried, "Buddy, you didn't really write this beautiful poem!" Shyly, but 1, I said yes. She poured out her 2. "It was nothing short of talent!" "What time will Father be home?" I asked. I could 3 wait to show my work to him. I spent quite some time 4 for his arrival. I wrote the poem out in my finest flourish(花体字), drew a fancy border around it and 5 I placed it right on my father's plate on the dining table. My father had begun his motion-picture career as a writer. I was sure he would be able to 6 my poem.
    At almost 7 o'clock my father burst in. He seemed 7. He circled the dining-room table, complaining about his employees. 8 he paused and glared at his plate. "What is this?" He was reaching for my poem. "Ben, Buddy has written his first poem!" my mother began. "And it's beautiful, absolutely amaz……""If you don't mind, I'd like to decide for myself." Father said. I 9 my head as he read that poem. It was only ten lines. But it seemed to take hours. Then I heard him dropping the poem back on the table. Now came the moment of 10 "I think it's terrible," he said. I couldn't look up. My eyes were getting 11.
    "Ben, these are the first lines of poetry he's ever written," my mother was saying. "He needs encouragement."
    "I don't know why." My father held his ground. "Isn't there enough 12 poetry in the world already?" I couldn't 13 it another second. I ran from the dining room crying. Up in my room I 14 myself on the bed and cried the worst of the disappointment out of me.
    That may have been the end of the story, but not of its 15 for me. I realized how 16 I had been. I had a mother who said, "I think it's wonderful!" and a father who drove me to hear with "I think it's awful." Every one of us needs that mother force, from which all creation flows; and yet the mother force alone is 17. It needs the balance of the force that 18, "Watch. Listen. Review. Improve."
    Those 19 voices of my childhood ring in my ears through the years, like two opposing winds blowing me. 20 the two poles of confirmation and doubt, both in the name of love, I try to follow my true course.

    When 10 girls from Gardiner High School in Montana received a sum of money to develop an invention to solve a real-world problem, they decided to create a solar-powered shelter to help the homeless.

For over a year, the girls have been using all their free time to complete the 1.

    “They have this amazing internal(内心的) 2 that I've never seen in any individual,” Violet Mardiro, a teacher at Gardiner High who is 3 with the team on the project, told The Huffington Post. “I thought 4 that maybe some of them would give up, say 'I didn't 5 this much work,' but they haven't. They're just working hard and they're not giving up and they're super 6.”

    Living in a low-income community, the girls have seen the 7 of homelessness first-hand. Many of them are from immigrant families and hoped the 8, which is powered by rechargeable solar panels(电子板), would help the 9.

    Seventeen-year-old Maggie Mejia told the Huffington Post that 10 she had no previous 11 experience, the girls figured out as a team how to 12 the shelter using how-to videos and books that taught them how to code. But the most important 13 she's learned during the project isn't technical.

    "I've learned a lot about 14 others, working for the community and being selfless and showing a better world to other people and 15 someone else's life," she said. The project was carried out with DIY Girls, a nonprofit that helps fund STEM – science, technology, engineering and math – projects for 16.

Mardirosian said all the participating students have 17 their interest in STEM through this project.

    “Many of them didn't think about engineering before. They thought maybe they're not 18 out to be an engineer. But working together, now they 19 their skill – whether a writing skill or a drawing skill or a speaking skill, they're all 20 in this field. Everyone has found their importance in this picture,” she said.
