So the boy got the computer game that he wanted for free（免费）—he was told it was a prize from the store. He smiled {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, although he felt it was so unbelievable.

The girl saw all this happen. She smiled happily, too.

When I walked out of the store to my car, I heard the father ask his daughter why she had done that. I would never {#blank#}4{#/blank#}their short talk. "Daddy, didn't Grandma want me to buy something that would {#blank#}5{#/blank#}me happy?"

He said, "Of course, she did."

"Well, I just did!" With that, the little girl started skipping(蹦跳) towards their car happily.

Once upon a time, there was a young man called Ma Liang He was poor. But he was kind and hard-working and liked drawing. One night, he dreamed(梦见)that an old man gave him a magic paintbrush(神奇的画笔)and asked him to use it to help poor people. When he woke up, he found the magic paintbrush in his desk.

From that day on, he used the paintbrush whenever people needed help. When he saw that people had no water to use or drink, he drew a river and the river came to life. People could bring water from the river.

Then many people knew about the magic paintbrush. But a few days later, a rich and bad man heard that the magic paintbrush could turn everything to life. He took the magic paintbrush away from Ma Liang's house and put Ma Liang into prison(监牢). Then he drew a lot of pictures with the paintbrush, but they could not become real.

So he said to Ma Liang, "If you draw some pictures for me and make them real, I will make you free."

The young man agreed and drew a sea first. Then he drew a golden mountain which was far away from the sea. The bad man said, Draw a big ship quickly. I want to go there to get the gold."

After the young man drew a big ship, the bad man jumped into the ship with his family and friends quickly. When the ship moved to the middle of the sea, the young man drew a large wave(波浪)and they never came back.

Zhou Dao's grandfather has a hearing problem. During a family party last year, Zhou Dao noticed something. His grandfather sat quietly by himself. The old man was unable to join the talks.

Zhou Dao was sad about this. "Grandpa always reads subtitles (字幕) to watch TV," he thought. "Why can't we put words on our talks?" Then, Zhou Dao began working on that idea. He spent about half a year developing a kind of smart glasses. These smart glasses help users "read" spoken words.

The glasses are connected to a smartphone. There is a microphone on the glasses. It records audio (录制音频) and sends it to the phone. A piece of software turns the audio into words. People can see the words on the glasses.

This allows users with hearing problems to understand others during the talks well. Now Zhou Dao's grandfather can wear the glasses and speak to someone else face to face or over the phone.

Zhou Dao was happy to help his grandfather. Slowly, more and more people in need can wear this kind of glasses.

Tony loves his grandma. She often tells him stories about Santa Claus(圣诞老人). 

Today is December 24th. Tony's grandma takes him to Kevin's Store to shop. She gives Tony fifty dollars and says, " Take the money and buy something for someone who needs it. I' ll wait for you in the car. "

Tony thinks of everyone he knows: his family, friends and classmates. Then he thinks of Bobbie. Bobbie sits behind Tony. He doesn't have a warm coat. Tony knows it because Bobbie never goes out to play in winter. So Tony buys a blue coat for him. It looks really warm. 

In the evening, his grandma helps Tony put the coat in a Christmas box, and writes" To Bobbie, From Santa Claus" on it. " Santa helps people but never lets them know, " Tony's grandma says. They put the box in front of Bobbie's house and then go back home joyfully. 

That night Tony knows Santa Claus is real, and they are on his team.
