Dr. Ge Yun has helped many kids who were born with defects (缺陷), {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (include) me. She did my first two operations when I was a baby, which were the most important and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (effect) ones.

    I don't remember the first two operations very well {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I do recall the third. Dr. Ge Yun was kind and eased me into the process. She tried everything she could {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (make)sure that I was okay. I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (recent)saw a picture of me before my operation, and I knew what a big job she did.

    Dr. Ge Yun operates {#blank#}6{#/blank#} people with all types of birth defects. She also goes to other countries {#blank#}7{#/blank#} people cannot afford the treatment and helps them for free. Many people benefit from her new ways {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (invent)to fix birth defects of the head and face. She {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  (win)many awards so far.

    Though I was just one of the patients to her, to me she was {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (much)that just my doctor. She was and is my hero, and she returned the smile to me.

                         Gift from a stranger

    My local supermarket is always busy. The first parking space I found was convenient, but I'd noticed a woman in a blue car circling for a while.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} I was in a good mood, I let her have it. On the edge of the car park I backed into the next available spot—it was a tight fit.

    Pretty soon I'd made my way through the supermarket and was back in the fresh air. Feeling good, I{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(empty) my purse change into the hands of a homeless man and helped a struggling woman reverse park（倒车）.

    Just as I approached my car, 1 saw the woman I'd let have my car space earlier. She was giving me {#blank#}3{#/blank#} odd look—half puzzled, half intent (热切的). I smiled and wished her a pleasant day. As I squeezed back into my car, I spotted the same lady {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (look) in at me. "Hello," she said, hesitantly. "This {#blank#}5{#/blank#}_ sound crazy but I was on my way to drop some of my mother's things off at the charity bins.” You are just so much {#blank#}6{#/blank#} her.” You helped those people, I noticed, and you seemed so happy.” She looked at me meaningfully and passed a box in through the window. “I think she would like you to have it.”{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (shock), I took it from her automatically. She smiled and walked away.

    After a pause, I opened the box. Inside was a beautiful gold necklace with a large grey pearl. It was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (nice) gift I'd ever received, and it was from a complete stranger. The necklace was around my neck, a warm reminder of human kindness.

    Last week, seven-year-old Charlotte Benjamin {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (become) a household name, and a hero to young girls everywhere, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} her handwritten letter to the LEGO company went public.

    In her letter, Charlotte complains about the lack of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (diverse) in Lego characters. Here's what she wrote:

    "Dear Lego company,

    My name is Charlotte.

    Today I went to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} store and saw Legos in two sections — the girls' pink and the boys' blue. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} all the girls did was to sit at home, go to the beach, and shop, and they had no jobs but the boys went on adventures, worked, and even swam with sharks.

    I want you to make {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (many) Lego girl people and let them go on adventures and have fun, OK?

    Thank you.

    From Charlotte"

    Charlotte's dad loved her well-written letter {#blank#}7{#/blank#} much that he had it sent to the website, Sociological Images, which posted it to their Twitter account. The letter has been posted almost 2,500 times and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (share) over 5,000 times on Facebook.

    Yesterday, LEGO responded to Charlotte {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (state) that they would include more female characters and themes, and that they have added new characters to the LEGO world {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (balance) the appeal of their themes.

    Nowadays more and more people like to travel, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (especial) when vacations come.A great number of people rush out of their homes or companies to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (travel) spots. They either drive or take a bus, a train, a ship {#blank#}3{#/blank#} so on. Some even ride bikes.

    However, there {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) another way of travelling—poorism. People have a tour in {#blank#}5{#/blank#} poorest areas of the worlds Some people may take a one-day poorest tour, and some even pay to stay in very poor neighborhoods {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (experience) the lowest living standards in the worlds Poorism tours take place around the world, and not just in the third world {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (country).You can, for instance, tour New York neighborhoods in the Bronx. Such tours can take people into the heart of poor areas. These tours may awaken people to pay {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (much) attention to long-standing poverty, or the effects of war.

    Some think that tours in the poor areas can raise social care. And the money from the tour can {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (donate) to help the people {#blank#}10{#/blank#} live there.
