Yao Beina was not only a popular singer but also an energetic and warm-hearted angel. She donated her corneas (眼角膜) to two men after her death.

 Yao was born in a music family in September 1981 in Wuhan. Shestarted to learn music at the age of 4, and she sang her first song on the

stage when she was 9. Yao did quite well in singing, so she took part in the 13th Youth Singing Competition and won the first prize.

She became well-known to the public after making some songs for the hit TV drama “The Legend of Zhenhuan”( 甄嬛传）, and the mandarin version (中文版本) of “Let It Go” from Disney's “Frozen"（冰雪奇缘）.

 In July 2013, she competed in The Voice of China II and finally got the second place in Na Ying's team. She had won many music prizes.

Yao Beina was unlucky to be diagnosed（诊断）with breast cancer (乳腺癌). She had a successful operation（手术） in 2011. She has fought against the illness for about four years while keeping singing, but sadly she failed. Although she's gone, her fans will remember her beautiful voice and kindness for ever.

    As students, you may have many dreams. They can be very big like becoming Superman, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.

    If you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream come true?

    Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams come true is life's biggest challenge.

    “You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible (不可能) for you to become a star. These ideas stop you from getting your dream,” the book says.

    In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first important thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.

    Don't let it leave your heart (心). Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step (一步一步地) and your dream will come true faster. A big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.

    Never give up (放弃) your dream. There will be difficulties on the road. But the biggest problem comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of (代替) watching TV will bring you better exam points. Saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. When you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. Then you will be able to learn more skills and find new interests.

    An English traveler found himself in Norway（挪威） with only enough money to buy the ticket for his journey back home. As he knew that it would take him only two days to get to England, he decided that he could easily spend the time without food. So he bought a ticket and went aboard the ship. The man closed his ears in order not to hear the sound of the lunch bell. When dinner time came , he didn't go to the dining room, saying that he was not feeling very well.

    The next morning he still didn't have breakfast and at lunchtime he again stayed in his room.But at dinner time he was so hungry that he went to the dining room and ate everything the waiter put in front of him. He got ready for a quarrel.

    "Bring me the bill," he said. "The bill, sir?" said the waiter in surprise. "There isn't any bill. On our ship meals are included in the money for the ticket," said the waiter.

This story took place during the Warring States (战国) period. At that time, kings would often 1 each other's sons as hostages (人质) to protect their kingdoms (王国).

Now it was the prince of Wei's turn. He was going to Handan, the capital of Zhao, as a hostage. Pang Cong, an official, was going with him. Before they 2 , Pang Cong said to the king of Wei, "If someone comes to report that he has 3 a tiger in the market will Your Majesty (陛下) believe it?"

"Of course not," the king answered.

"If another man comes to say the same thing, will Your Majesty believe it?"

"I'll start to 4 about it."

"Then, what if a third man comes with the same report, Your Majesty?"

"Maybe I will think it is 5 ."

"Well, we all know that no tiger dares to go to the market. But since three men have said the same thing, everyone now 6 that there is a tiger there. Handan is much 7 from our capital than the market is from the court (王宫), and more than three people will talk against me behind my 8 . When I'm away, Your Majesty will not fail to judge (判断) what you hear, will you?"

"I know 9 to judge," the king said impatiently.

Then Pang Cong said 10 to the king and left Daliang, the capital of Wei, with the prince. But as soon as he had left, the king's ears were 11 with words against him.

After a few years, when Pang Cong 12 to Wei with the prince, the king would not see him again. He was no longer 13 .

So, "three liars (说谎的人) make a 14 " is used to say that if a lie is 15 often enough, people may start to believe it, even though it is not a fact.

Ronny looked like every other kid in the classroom where I volunteered at the Reading Mom in New York. 1 , he couldn't read like others in his grade because he had a speech problem. I worked with all students in his class one by one to improve their 2 skills.

On the days when it was Ronny's turn, I'd give him a warm 3 . That's why he sat close to me and opened the book as if he was opening a treasure that 4 had even seen.

I watched his 5 move slowly under each letter as he tried hard to read out. Every time he tried to read, his pronunciation sounded really 6 . In spite of that, the biggest smile would show on his face and his eyes would shine with 7 , which broke my heart.

A few weeks before the school year ended, I 8 Ronny with a book written by myself. A few days later,I returned to the school to pay a visit. I 9 Ronny on a chair near the playground, the book open in his legs.

His head teacher said, "He hasn't 10 that book since you gave it to him. Do you know that's his first book he's ever actually owned?"

Deeply moved, I 11 to Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked, "Will you read me your book?"For the next few minutes, he read to me more 12 than I'd thought. The pages were already dog-eared, as the book had been read 13 times already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great 14 , "What good book!"

At that moment, as a writer, I knew 15 a writer should always do — care enough to write a story that changes a child's life, care enough to make a difference.
