     Karen spent more than 75 years working as a cleaner. Certainly nobody would think that she was rich, 1 she was paid only a few dollars each time. So they were all 2 when Jenny decided to give $150,000 to the University of Southern Mississippi.

    The money, 3, was her life savings. She could save such a large amount of money because she lived a very 4 life. She never learned to drive. When she wanted to go somewhere, she just walked. She never flew to anywhere 5 her donation（捐献）, and in the 50 years she had been out of the South only once. The 6 in which she lived was also a rather old one, and her last uncle left her. Only after she became known in 7 did she begin to travel all over the country. Since then, she had been the 8 of many interviews and articles. She was even invited to the White House.

    Her donation was for the students who clearly needed 9 help. She herself left school in the sixth grade and had never married or had children. She said to the reporters that the idea of helping somebody's child go to college gave her much 10.

    In July 1969, Nei Armstrong became the first 1 to walk on the moon. People all around the world watched their televisions and 2 the spaceship to 3the earth.

I had a colorful year in 2023. 

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people will think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution (贡献) to the education today.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn't give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poems and sports.

Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.

Today, people still follow Confucius' lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. "When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them."

He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. "All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy."

Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. "A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others." he said.
