A group of children from poor families from all over China gather at a baseball camp in Beijing. They live and train together, hoping to change their life through {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (play) baseball.

This is the story of the film Tough Out(《棒！少年》). It came out on December 11, 2020 and it is one of this {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (year) best films with a score of 8.7 out of 10 on Douban.

These children are being helped by Power Baseball Angels, a charity(慈善) programme launched in 2015 by Sun Lingfeng, former captain of China's national men's baseball team.

"Baseball changed my personality, teaching me rules and how {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (live) life. Without it, I would have probably become a bad boy," Sun told China Daily. Sun wants to help poor children in{#blank#}4{#/blank#} same way.

Ma Hu is one of the stars of the film. He {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (raise) by his grandmother in a poor village. He often fights {#blank#}6{#/blank#} others and almost never follows the rules at first. But with the guidance of his coaches, he learns to comfort his teammates instead when they lose a game. "I behaved {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bad) back then," Ma said. "I'm not like that anymore. My goal is to become a member of the national team in the future."

The film hopes to draw attention to the 40 million children who live in poor {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (condition) in China. Just like Ma, many of the kids in the movie are left-behind children. They don't have much money, education {#blank#}9{#/blank#} parents' care. How can these {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (problem) be solved? The baseball charity programme is offering hope to these kids.

This is No. 12 High School. My friend, Linlin, is in this school. Linlin has short hair, a big nose, a small mouth and big eyes. She is thirteen. She is in Class Two, Grade Seven. She's a good student. She has two good friends in her school. They are Lucy and Lily. They're sisters. They are fourteen. They have small noses, small eyes, but they're not short. Lucy and Lily are in Class One, Grade Eight.

Mao Junfang is a bamboo craftsman(手艺人). When he was 17, he began to 1 how to make bamboo weaving crafts(竹编). He finished his learning two years later 2 he started to sell bamboo crafts. 

Ten years ago, making bamboo weaving crafts could not support Mao Junfang's family, so he had to work as a 3 in the factory to make some money. He did cleaning carefully to keep the factory tidy. He could take a one- day break every two days. 4 his break, Mao would make bamboo crafts at home. He likes to 5 different ideas when he's making bamboo weaving crafts. An over10- meter- long bamboo can magically be turned into chairs, 6 , food covers, and other kinds of tools. With his fine craftsman skills, Mao has 7 great respect(尊敬) among his countrymen. He has also got great prizes for his bamboo weaving crafts. 

Making bamboo weaving crafts needs both 8 and patience. A bamboo craftsman must be hard- working. Every day, Mao Junfang gets up 9 to begin his work at 6:00 am and he stops working after 9:00 pm. However, he can make only a few pieces a day. " Life is 10 for a bamboo craftsman. I don't want anyone else to experience the same life as I do, and I don't want the traditional craft to disappear, either, " Mao says. 

Old Mother Wind was talking with the tall tree in the forest, "I've just passed by the grass, and there I saw the best thing in the world. "

Bobby Mouse happened to sit under the tree and heard those 1 . " The best thing in the world—What can that be?" he 2 . "Well, it must be plenty of delicious nuts! I'll go and find it. " Then Bobby Mouse ran 3 the grass. He was running so 4 that he didn't see Peter Rabbit until Peter Rabbit jumped out. He asked, "5 are you going in such a hurry?"

"To find the best thing in the world, " Bobby Mouse replied. 

"The best thing in the world? I really want to 6 carrots(胡萝卜). I'm so hungry. That must be lots of carrots. I'll go with 7 , " Peter Rabbit said to Bobby Mouse and ran after him. 

Before long, they met Johnny Chuck, who asked the same question as Peter Rabbit just did. 

"To find the 8 thing in the world! Would you like to join us?" they shouted. 

"The best thing in the world?" said Johnny Chuck. "9 is more enjoyable than my own little home, the warm sunshine and the beautiful blue sky. I will 10 go with you!" So he stayed at home and played among flowers with Old Mother Wind happily. 

When Bobby Mouse and Peter Rabbit finally reached the grass, they had run far and fast all day long but still they didn't find the best thing in the world. When the 11 came, they started going back home. Now they didn't hurry in the dark 12 they were very tired and hungry. 

They came across Old Mother Wind halfway home. 

"Did you 13 the best thing in the world?" asked Old Mother Wind. 

"No!" Their 14 sounded very sad. 

"Johnny Chuck has it, " she said. " It is being 15 with the things you have. The best thing in the world is already around you. "
