A photo of a boy who arrived at school with a head full of icicles(冰柱）has drawn widespread attention to children from poor rural families.

    Wearing only a thin jacket, Wang Fuman, 10, had braved -9C weather to travel over an hour from his village home to reach Zhuanshanbao

    Primary School in Zhaotong, Yunnan province.

    "After walking more than 4 kilometers through the freezing snow, he arrived with his hair and eyebrows completely frozen, causing laughter among his 16 classmates," said Fu Heng, the school's principal, who uploaded(上传) Wang's photos on Monday morning. Fu added that his classrooms do not have heating because of a lack of money.

    After hearing Wang's story, the Yunnan China Youth Development Foundation offered a public donation(捐赠) for children from poor families on Tuesday. It has promised to give each needy child 500 yuan ($75) to help them stay warm in winter. By 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, the provincial foundation bad collected over 300,000 yuan in public donations according to their websites.

    Wang, who has been nicknamed "Snowflake Boy"(冰花男孩）by netizen (网友),became well-known online. By Wednesday morning, his picture had been 'liked" more than 260,000 times on Sina Weibo. "Many children in cities don't have the strong willpower of this boy. I hope all his efforts will be rewarded(回报)," a netizen wrote on Sina Weibo.

    The name Fuman translates as "full of happiness", but Wang does not come from a rich family. He lives in a mud hut(土坯房) with his grandmother and elder sister, and seldom sees his parents because they are migrant workers in other cities.

    "I love school. We can have bread and milk for lunch, and we learn lots of things in class," Wang said. His village now has electricity and tap water, "and my family is getting help to build a new house close to the school", he said. "I think our life will get better."

Boys and girls, here is a poster about some clubs of our school. Come and join us!

I did not pass the boys' basketball tryouts (预选赛) in Grade 7. Joining the team was very1 to me, but my name was not on the list (名单). On the way home, I was both angry and unhappy. "I can't believe I didn't join the team," I said2 ."How did Alex make the team? He runs so slowly! Why is Jimmy better than me? He just stands around moving his arms!" 

"Adam!"my mum 3 me."I think, maybe you need a little more 4 . 

Suddenly, I knew she was 5 . It was nobody's mistake but my own. I decided (决定) to work hard for the team over the next year. 

I practised 6 every day and spent lots of time on it every week. 

When summer came, I 7 lots of basketball camps. Through camp after camp, I could do it better and better. I knew I was 8 for tryouts in the autumn. The day finally came. 

As 9 stood around the lists, I played quite well and waited for my chance (机会) to read the names. I slowly looked down the 10 . Not only did I make the team, but my name was the very first.

My name is Steve. I'm thirteen years old. I'm a high school student. The girl in pink is my sister, Mary. And the girl in red is my sister, too. Her name is Jane. They look the same. They both(两者都) have big eyes and blond hair. The boy in white is my friend, Jack. He has a big nose and short hair. We are in the same class.
