A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a boy was walking around the shinning car. “Is this your car ,Paul ?” he asked. Paul answered ,“Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised . “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything? Well , I wish…” He hesitated.

Of course, Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that . But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.

“I wish,” the boy went on ,“that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again,“ Would you like to take a ride in my car ?”

“Oh yes, I'd love that.”

After a short ride, the boy with his eyes shining, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”

Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are ?” the boy asked.

He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled* brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.

“There it is , Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”

Comfort Zone

I would never forget what I learned from the day when I left my junior high school. On the last day our teacher told us something1that I would like to share with you.

He began by drawing a man standing in the middle of a circle. To make it more interesting, he drew things like a house, a car and a few friends inside the circle.

He asked, "Can anyone tell me what this is?" In a long silence, one student decided to2his idea," The world?" The teacher said, "That's close. This is your Comfort Zone. Inside your circle you have all the things that are important to you. Your home, your family, your friends and your job. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any3."

"Can anyone tell me what happens when you step out of this circle?" A strong silence came over the room. The same student replied," You are afraid." Another student said, "You may make mistakes." The silence continued and our teacher smiled and asked," When you make mistakes, what can the result be?" The first student said," You4something."

"Exactly, you are learning." Our teacher turned to the blackboard and drew an arrow（箭头）5from the man to the outside of the circle. He went on saying," When you leave your Comfort Zone, you put yourself out there, in a6that you are not comfortable with, The result is that you learn something that you did not know and you enlarge your knowledge to become a better person." He turned again to the blackboard and drew a bigger circle around the original（原来的）circle, and7a few new things like more friends, a big house, etc.

A lesson from this story is that if you stay inside your Comfort Zone you will never be able to open your eyes to the outside world and learn, When you step out of your Comfort Zone, you will8make your circle bigger to challenge your mind and grow to be stronger, and all in all be a better person.

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 on April the 23rd. His father was an important man in the town, so Shakespeare had a good childhood. Shakespeare probably went to school but not university. He got married when he was 18 to Anne Hathaway and the couple had 3 children.

Shakespeare wrote 38 plays and 154 sonnets. He began working in his hometown of Stratford, but by 1592, he began writing in London. He became rich enough to buy a house in the capital and another in Stratford. He wrote sad stories called tragedies (悲剧) like Romeo and Juliet, funny stories called comedies, romantic stories and stories about history, such as Julius Caesar.

Shakespeare died on his birthday in 1616, almost 400 years ago. But why are his works still popular today? His works looked into common human themes (主题) . They are a part of human nature today as they were all those years ago and in modern soap operas and Hollywood films.

We feel Shakespeare's influence (影响) on the English language today. We talk about "fair play", meaning honest behavior, and this phrase was first used by Shakespeare. And it was Shakespeare who came up with the expression of "disappear into thin air", which we still use it today when we lose something. Besides, Shakespeare's works have been translated into many other languages in the world.
