    If you discover that you have problems 4your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the 5to recognize and respect the 6in others. We cannot change the way that other people act , 7it is important to learn to live happily with them.

    Practicing tolerance will allow everyone to form better 8with each other. Getting to know someone may help you 9 why they do things 10from you. It is important to remember that just because something is different does not mean that it is bad. 11 teaches us to keep an even temper and open mind.

    One thing to  12is the old saying, "Treat others how you want  13". You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, so it is  14to treat them with equal kindness. If you tolerate 15 it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to 16who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you will be 17of the differences in others and not try to make them change.

    It is important to 18tolerance because it will make everyone's lives easier. Learn to 19people for their different abilities and interests. The world is a very  20place, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.

    Grady threw down his backpack and slammed the car door shut.

    "This is going to be a really 1week," he said unhappily to no one 2. He looked around the campground. Hundreds of tall and green fir trees, some as tall as church towers, 3 the mountainside, giving it the appearance of a green carpet. The sun would be setting soon. Then, Grady thought, maybe the 4wouldn't be unbearable. But actually even up here in the5, the hot stickiness of July was closely attached to him.

    Grady hated camping, but it was something his family6 every summer. His father liked cooking over an open fire, telling stories about how to 7 things like bear attacks and swarms of bees. His mother and younger brother Jared liked to hike and take 8 of animals. Jared had a collection of bug pictures that he'd 9 to the walls in his half of their room. Grady thought they were just scary and proof that Jared was a 10 kid.

    They set up camp—two 11, one for his parents and one for himself and Jared. While everyone else started 12 dinner, Grady, looking for some place to cool down, set off for the nearby stream, which was deep enough to 13 in.

    As he 14 the stream, something caught his eye. There was a(an)15black bear cub—no more than two feet tall with a lovely face. It was playing pretty 16 at the water's edge,17 its surroundings. Grady moved closer to get a 18look. Then Grady heard a sound behind him. He 19 his father saying that bear cubs would never be20. Then he turned around and saw the cub's mother moving swiftly towards him…

As a primary school student in New York City, Robert Lee would stare in 1 at his classmates throwing away half-eaten sandwiches after lunch, because his parents had 2 him and his elder brother not to 3 food. They said it was bad karma(作孽).

    While studying at New York University, Robert remembered this4 and joined Two Birds One Stone, a food-rescue club on campus that5, five days a week, uneaten pasta, vegetables, and other leftovers from the school 6to nearby homeless shelters.

When Robert and fellow club member Louisa Chen entered a college contest, they 7 a slightly 8 idea for a food-rescue nonprofit group: Their program wouldn't have a 9minimum, would 10seven days a week, and its staff would 11volunteers.

Their idea12the competition. With the＄1,000 prize, they13Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) in July, 2013. In just the first few weeks, Robert's team delivered a donation of enough spaghetti and meatballs to14 20 people in line at a New Yorker City homeless shelter that had 15food.

Robert, who had taken a job as an analyst at J.P.Morgan, devoted his spare time to creating a network of New Yorker City restaurants that were16to donate food, and he enlisted(征募) volunteers to make food deliveries to homeless shelters. After RLC received national press17, homeless shelters and soup kitchens in many places reached out to Robert for18. Two years after being founded, RLC had already distributed more than 250,000 pounds of food.

    Only a year into his finance job, Robert gave up his six-figure salary to19RLC. "I compared work at J.P.Morgan with that at RLC, and the difference was great," he says.

    "One shelter told us that our donations allow them to provide entire dinners for more than 300 people, three nights a week," Robert says. "Things like that make me feel20that I quit my job."

    As my husband, Doug, stood on the busy New York city street to stop a taxi, I tried to protect my daughter from the cold December wind and rain. I put my head down to kiss her 1 face.

    Frustrated and wet, my husband gave up his attempt to hail a taxi. I knew the feeling. Just after her first birthday, we were told our daughter Katie has a 2 brain illness. Since that moment, Doug and I felt like 3 in a marathon race where the finish line kept disappearing. We knew Katie was running out of 4. It had taken months before we finally had a name for the 5, but we were told only a few specialists in the world knew how to 6 it. Now, as we finally found a brilliant doctor to 7 our girl, we were in a strange city in the cold rain.

    Just at the moment, a middle-aged woman 8 and said, "Pardon me? May I offer you a(n) 9?"

    Before we could say 10, she continued, "It's really no 11 for me. Just get in."

    It was then that I noticed her thick Irish 12 which 13 me up like hot soup. We 14 said, "Thanks! Roosevelt Hospital, please," as we got in her car for the ride.

    "Are you going for the baby?" she asked us.

    I nodded my head, holding back my 15.

    At the hospital we 16 her a dozen times for the ride. As the woman hugged me, I noticed her face was 17 with tears. She promised to pray for us before she left.

    After three more visits to New York and two more 18 surgeries (手术), Katie is cured. But the voice of the Irish Angel still rang as a constant 19 of a tiny ray of light that appeared in our 20 days.

Ten years ago I adopted my dog Rudy from a shelter just days before they were going to euthanize (使安乐死) him. We've had a special1 ever since.

    I've found his  2 really meaningful. Every night I get in my bed and he gets in his doggy bed right next to mine. But a year ago suddenly Rudy 3 . Every night when I got in bed he'd jump up on my  4 and start licking (舔) my face. I'd get  5 and make him get off but the next night he'd do it again.

    I was considering taking him to obedience (驯服) school when I suddenly 6 that he was licking the same spot on my jaw over and over again. I  7  my jaw and it seemed okay but it was so  8 for my dog that I decided to just trust him. I made an appointment with the  9 and felt silly telling her why I came in but she agreed to do some  10 . It turns out I had a tumor (肿瘤) in my jaw. It couldn't be felt from the  11 but somehow Rudy knew it was there. I'm doing much 12 now but the doctors said if I'd  13 until the tumor was big enough to be felt, it's likely I would have  14 . I saved my dog's life and now he's  15 mine!

Juleus Ghunta is a published children's author and award-winning poet. But when young, he could 1 read.

He grew up with his three sisters in rural Western Jamaica, raised by their single mother. Life was tough, and proper schooling was out of the question due to 2 resources.

When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn't 3 on reading. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had not been 4 to books.

By sixth grade, he could spell his name, but still couldn't make out words or read with 5 . He struggled in school with a deep sense of 6 and worthlessness.

At age 12, a young teacher-in-training 7 a special reading program for 8 students. Ghunta was the first to join. That teacher, whose name he does not 9 now, became Ghunta's unsung hero — the person who changed his life.

The teacher was incredibly kind to him. Under her guidance, Ghunta's reading skills saw marked improvement, and his sense of inadequacy began to 10 .

"She had left me with the gift of literacy," he said. "And a deeper 11 of my talent."

After Ghunta's experience with the teacher, his life course 12 . He graduated with academic 13 and is now the author of two children's books, including "Rohan Bullkin and the Shadows."

Years later, Ghunta returned to his old school and asked the principal and teachers if they knew her 14 , but none did. Carrying this memory, however, he still hopes to find and thank her for seeing his 15 and being a source of light and hope in his life.
