   Mr. Brown was going away for a week. Before he left, he said to his son, “If anyone comes to visit me, tell him that your father is away on business, and will be back in a week, then be sure to ask him to sit down for a cup of tea.”
   “OK, Dad,” said his son. Mr. Brown was afraid his son wouldn't remember this, so he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put the paper into his small pocket. He took it out and looked at it every now and then.
   Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that no one would come and that the piece of paper was of no more use to him, so he burnt it.
   The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said, “Is your father at home?” The boy put his hand into his pocket at once for the piece of paper. He could not find it. He suddenly remembered he had burnt it, so he shouted, “No more.”
   The man was very surprised. He asked, “No more? I met your father last week. When did it happen?”“Burnt yesterday evening.”

Mrs. Thompson, a school teacher, told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn't get along well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.
Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy bought her a present, too. It was his mother's perfume(香水).
Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my mom used to.” After the children left she cried for an hour. On that very day, she stopped being busy teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to care more about the children.
Mrs. Thompson paid more attention to Teddy. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of Grade 6, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.
Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he had ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D.(医学博士).
The story doesn't end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard said, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel good about myself and showed me that I could make a difference.”
Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, said, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn't know how to teach until I met you.”

The film Forever Enthralled was directed by the director(导演)Chen Kaige, and famous stars acted in it, such asZhang Ziyi and Chen Hong. This film shows Mei Lanfang's life.

Mei, a master of Beijing opera, grew up in a family of Beijing opera performers. He began to perform on the stage(舞台)in 1904 when he was 10 years old. He learnt his acting skills and played female roles and became highly good at singing, dancing and acting. He turned himself into a performer of almost all types of the "Dan" female roles.

In July 1937, the Japanese army occupied(占领) Beijing. The officer of the army told Mei to perform for them and promised to give him a lot of money. Mei refused to do so, and from then on, he gave up performing on stage during the war. This made him poor until the war ended in 1945.

After 1949, he made the Dan have an important place in Beijing opera through many years of hard working. In his 50-year stage life, he used new acting skills and made lots of good operas. So he became the symbol of Beijing opera.

Betty and I are best friends. Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year, we had a costume party instead.

While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, "Why not invite John?" John had been in our class for only a few months, but he had already got better grades in math than anyone else in class. I wrinkled(皱起) my nose," Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day. How could he even afford a costume?" Mum said nothing. The next day, Mum gave me an envelope(信封) with a shopping card in it. "I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John," Mum said. But how? We didn't want to make John embarrassed. We discussed it for a long time. Finally, Betty and I had a good idea.

On the day of our party, kids arrived, dressed differently. John arrived, in an old sheet(床单), but still in the same brown pants as usual. We danced, ate snacks and played games in groups. Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice," Now it's time for the great prize game. It's the following riddle..."It was a math game. None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.

Everything went on well as we planned. John wore a new pair of pants and a new shirt the next week. He felt happy. So did we.

When we help others, we need to find a proper way, or we may hurt them in another way.
