Jan Mela isn't like most kids .Two years ago , he lost an arm and a leg .But that didn't stop him.

    On Saturday ,the 15—year-old boy from Poland（波兰）walked to the North Pole（北极）without any help.

    “If I can do it, other people can do great things, too,” Mela said before he went.

    Polish newspapers said Mela is the youngest person and the first handicapped（残疾的）person to walk to the North Pole.

    How did Mela lose an arm and a leg? He had an electrical（电的）accident .Now, he walks with the help of a 62,000-yuan man-made leg.

    After the accident, Mela felt sad for himself. But he didn't lose hope .One day, he met Marek Kaminski, a Polish explorer. Eight years ago, Kaminski went to the North Pole and the South Pole in the same year. Mela wanted to see the North Pole, too. So Mela asked Kaminski if they could go together next time .Kaminski said yes!

    It took Mela 21 days to get to the North Pole .The last three or four days were really hard because of bad weather .But Mela kept going.

    “I didn't think we would make it,” he said, “Then, things got better.”

    In Britain you're allowed to drive a car when you're seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you start. When you're learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren't allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don't have to go to a driving school—a friend can teach you. The person with you isn't allowed to take money for the lessons unless he's got a teacher's license. 

    Before you're allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test, you have to drive round for half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don't pass the test, you're allowed to take it again a few weeks later. In 1970, a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons! When you've passed your test, you're allowed to go on driving if you like, and you must be healthy. Britain's oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100. 

    Before 1904, everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn't have to take a test until 1935. In the early days of car driving, before 1978, cars weren't allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.

"Simply avoid her. " Abby listened closely, as I continued, "If she says any more 1 things to you, I'll go to your teacher. I'll make sure you are never in a (n) 2 where you have to sit next to her again."

At that time, Allyson, my then eight-year-old, came to 3 us and listened to every word. Neither of my daughters interrupted (打断) as I finished my heartfelt speech, filled with 4 wisdom. Then, as I was telling them what I thought right, Allyson's real words of 5 came about. "Mom," she said, "I was just thinking. Maybe Abby should be that girl's 6 so that she can bear (容忍) her. In that way, she can let that girl see forgiveness (谅解) and 7 through her."

Hmm, I became the 8 . At that moment, I realized that although I was wearing the "mother's hat", the "hat" certainly didn't make me 9 all the time. In fact, I wanted to pull that hat over my face and hide myself so that they couldn't see my 10 look. 

"Yes, that's a good point," I commented (评论), 11 a half smile at my girls. "Abby, you deal with this situation the way you think is right. " "OK, " she said, giving me a quick hug before walking out of the door and off to school. "Bye, Mom! " Allyson called, 12 her big sister to go out of the door. 

I was left alone—in my slippers (拖鞋). In those following 13 moments, I was lost in thought. I did feel 14 my two amazing daughters—small in size but big in heart. Sometimes our children have great lessons to teach us—15 we are willing to listen. 

That lesson came more than ten years ago, and I'll never forget how much I have learned from my children. 

I like traveling alone. I have been to the Terracotta（兵马俑）, Disneyland and the Bird's Nest（鸟巢）. Attracted(吸引) by the beauty of the Great Wall, I flew there by myself this time.

At the entrance (入口), one short old woman followed me all the time. She wanted me to buy some cards. Finally, I became angry. "Don't you understand the meaning of ‘No'?" I shouted at her and left.

As soon as I walked along the Great Wall, I felt very excited. Then, when I was halfway, I found I was on a very dangerous road, and there were no walls. When the cold wind came, I was afraid. Suddenly, I heard a soft voice behind. Someone told me not to be afraid and she would help me. As I felt a pair of hands trying to keep me safe, I calm down(镇静).

Half an hour later, we arrived at a safer place. Feeling better, I turned around to see who she was. She was the short old woman. I felt humiliated for what I did and gave her a big hug (拥抱).

Through this experience, I learned that we should be kind to others because we never know what situation we'll be in and when we'll need help.

Hi! My name is Ruby. I live in California, the USA. Most people here enjoy  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(do) sports. Swimming is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} very popular sport here and I also like it. I think swimming is {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(exciting) than many other sports. I know most Chinese people like table tennis. I also like playing basketball. But I spent too much time {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(play) basketball last term. And my mother was always {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(worry) about my schoolwork at that time. Now I know that nobody can waste (浪费) time. I am studying even {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(hard) at every subject this term. And of course I make {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(few) mistakes in my homework than before. I will have a big exam next Monday. I'll be much{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (careful) to get better grades. I have one brother. His name is Ben. He often plays tennis with our father {#blank#}9{#/blank#} Saturday afternoons. Tennis is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(they) favourite sport. 

Do you have any brothers or sisters? What sports do you like?

To many in the Gulf （海湾），Ghanim Al Muftah is a well﹣known face. Ghanim was born in May 2002 in Qatar，without the lower half of his body because of a serious illness. Even though the young boy was only given 15 years to live by his doctors，his parents didn't give up on him. 

Ghanim was often very sad when he was at school. No one liked to play with him. His mother comforted him that his classmates were just afraid of hurting him，not scared of him. She also encouraged the boy to communicate more with his classmates and let them know more about his illness. His mother's words cheered him up and made him become more optimistic（乐观的）. 

Now，21﹣year﹣old Ghanim is an example to the world and especially to those fighting with physical disabilities. He used his weakness to develop a strong will（意志） . A surprising fact about Ghanim is that he loves sports and actively takes part in football，skateboarding，ice hockey and even scuba （潜水） . 

Ghanim is also one of the youngest businessmen in Qatar. His ice cream business provides jobs for the people in the city. At the same time，with his family's support，Ghanim has also set up an organization to give away free wheelchairs to those disabled people in need. 

The young boy lives up to the meaning of his name. "Ghanim Al Muftah" means "the winner" in Arabic. He is an example of strength and courage who teaches the world that no difficulty is big enough to prevent someone from living the life of their expectations.
