    Wang Fuman is a 10-year-old student. He is now studying in Zhuanshanbao Primary School in Zhaotong, Yunnan Province. On Monday morning (January 8, 2018), he braved -9℃ weather to travel over an hour to reach his school.

    When he arrived, his hair and eyebrows had been completely frozen with snowflake (雪花). This made his 16 classmates laugh a lot. Fu Heng, Wang's teacher saw this and took a picture. He uploaded (上传) Wang's picture. The picture soon has got much attention to children from poor families in the countryside. Wang, who has been nicknamed “Snowflake Boy” by netizens, became famous online overnight. By Wednesday morning, his picture had been “liked” more than 260,000 times on Sina Weibo and shared more than 40,000 times.

    After hearing Wang's story, the Yunnan China Youth Development Foundation held a public donation ( 捐赠) activity for children from poor families. The Foundation has promised to give each poor child 500 yuan ($75) to help them stay warm in winter.

    By 1 pm on Wednesday, the Foundation had collected about 300,000 yuan in public donations, according to their website. Wang's village now has electricity and tap water, “…and my family is getting help to build a new house close to the school”, Wang said, “I think our life will get better.”

Birch is a great pianist. His music is welcomed all over the world. Every year, he holds many concerts in different cities. But a ticket to his shows is always hard to get. 

This year, Birch will have a concert in the city of Flint, Michigan. Birch spends lots of time preparing for it — he knows lots of his fans will come and enjoy his performance (表演) , and he won't like to let them down. 

The big moment finally comes. Birch comes into the hall happily, wearing a smile as usual—he will meet his music lovers soon. Suddenly, he stops and his smile is gone. There are still lots of seats left, and the audience (观众) are fewer than half! 

Standing there, Birch is so disappointed. Isn't his performance so popular in this city? 

Just after a short while, Birch walks to the front of the stage and says to the audience smilingly, "Oh, your Flint City people are so different! I see each of you buy two seats. I now know how rich (富有的) you are!"

On hearing this, all the people laugh with a thundering applause (掌声雷动). 

Both my wife and I are running lovers. I usually run on the track (跑道) in my neighborhood. Most people walk on the track, so I am 1 than them. My speed seems amazing to the walkers and I often pass by them twenty or more times around the track. This makes 2 feel proud.

One day, a short man came. I saw him out of the car and do exercise 3 running. Then he started running and he was fast. I 4 up and managed to catch up with him. I had someone to compete with. But after a lap (圈), I fell behind him and had great 5 in breathing. After two laps, my foot began to hurt, 6 I had to slow down and began to run at my usual speed. This time I could breathe again and the pain in my foot went away. In a very short time, I was far behind him. He was too fast for me to 7 .

That day, I learnt several lessons. In 8 , there will always be those slower and faster. Some have natural talent, and some have trained harder. Don't judge a person by how he or she looks.

The point is that we each have our own speed. When we are trying to keep up, we often 9 hurting ourselves and being out of breath. Don't run fast when you should be running 10 . Don't run at all when you should be walking.

Kate is both my neighbour and my best friend. I first met her five years ago. 

Kate is tall and slim(苗条的). She has long hair. She has big eyes and a small nose. I like her smiling face best. It makes her look really pretty and kind. Kate is a friendly girl. She always has a smile on her face and looks happy. She likes to help people. She helps me with my homework and she is very patient. When I feel bored or unhappy, I often go to her. She will talk to me and tell me interesting things. 

Kate wants to work with children. She would like to be a teacher when she grows up. I think she will be a great teacher.
