George lived with his sick mother in a poor village.

    One bright sunny1in July, he went early to the forest two miles away. He was asked to2some wood from under the trees. After working hard for half a day, he looked around for a3 place to rest and eat his lunch. Suddenly some fine red wild 4 caught his eyes.

    "How good these will be with my bread and butter!" thought George. He at once began to5all the strawberries he could find and sat down by the river, ready to enjoy them.

    Then just as he was lifting the6strawberry to his mouth, he thought of his mother. "Shall I7them for her?" said he, thinking how much they would make8happy, yet still looking at them with longing (渴望的)eyes.

    "I will eat half, and take the other half to her," said he. Then he divided the strawberries into two.9he found each half looked so small that he put them together again.

    "I will only taste one." Then seeing that he had taken the biggest, he put it back. Finally he 10 them carefully with some leaves, deciding to keep them all11his mother.

    When the sun was beginning to go down, George went home.12happy he felt that he had all his strawberries for his sick mother. The13he came to his home, the less he wished to taste them. As soon as he arrived, he ran to his14and happily offered his wild strawberries. Tears in eyes, she put her hand on his head and said15, "And you kept them for your sick mother, did you? God will bless you for all this, my child. "

   Could the eating of the strawberries have given George half the happiness he felt at this moment?

    Dean felt his arms and legs were burning. With each breath, Dean wondered if he should be done, but as he touched the wall at the end of the pool he turned for another lap (圈). "I can do one more. This is for Kevin," Dean told himself. He was starting his seventh lap.

    Dean and the other members of his swim team were swimming to raise money for Dean's best friend, Kevin Hawking. Earlier in the year, Kevin fell ill. He needed expensive medical care that his family couldn't afford. After Kevin's friends learned what was happening, they started brainstorming ways to help. Several of Kevin's friends were on the swim team, which led to the idea of swimming.

    For a month, Dean and the other swim team members had asked for pledges (承诺) from anyone who would help: family members, friends, and neighbours. Most people pledged a dollar or two each lap. Dean's grandmother said she would offer $ 10 for each lap Dean swam!

    Finally, as Dean completed his tenth lap, he knew he was too tired to keep going. If I try another lap. I'll end up lying in the middle of the pool, waiting for someone to come and get me, he thought. Dean pulled himself up onto the edge of the pool and sat breathing quickly for a couple of minutes, quietly resting before he tried to stand.

    Dean's father came over and said, "Wow, Dean," shaking his head in amazement, "I am so proud of you. That's farther than anyone else has swum today, and I know it's farther than you've ever swum before."

    Dean stood up and slowly walked with his father back to the seats where the other swimmers sat next to Kevin. "Thank you," Kevin said.

    "It's no big deal. I know you'd do the same for me," Dean said.

If a person lost an arm, how could he or she still play basketball? Zhang Jiacheng, a 1 Chinese boy, did it.

After a short video of the teenage basketball player playing a one-on-one competition was recently posted online, Zhang soon became popular.2 people highly praised his strong will and excellent skills.

In the video, Zhang showed his dribbling (带球) abilities and shooting skills in front 3 several professional (专业的) basketball players, and received a loud cheer from the audience (观众) watching on site.

Born in Yunfu, Guangdong, Zhang4 his right arm in an accident at just five years old. It was a sad thing for a little kid.5 Zhang never gave up.6 love for basketball grows stronger and stronger. The one-armed teenager dreams to be 7 basketball player.

"Heart is always the strongest part of the body," said Yi Jianlian after 8 the teenager's short video.

Zhu Fangyu wrote on his Weibo account that the CBA powerhouse would like 9 Zhang to visit the team and watch home games.

"This is 10 kid I have ever seen playing basketball," Zhu said. He says that as soon as this season's CBA reopens and audiences are allowed to come and watch games, they will invite the teenager.

One day in ancient Greece, King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown. At first, he was very happy with it. 

"It's a nice crown, isn't it?" he asked his men. Later, 

However, he began to doubt that it was a real golden crown. "Is it made completely of gold?" he wondered. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth. 

"This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?" thought Archimedes. 

Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water. When he got into the bath, some water ran over. 

"That's it!" shouted Archimedes. "I know how to solve the king's problem!"

Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king. First, he weighed the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight. 

Next, he put two pots into two big bowls and filled both pots with water. He put the gold into one pot, and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into the other pot. This time, even more water ran into the bowl. 

"Look at this, " said Archimedes to King Hiero. "A crown made completely of gold displaces less water than a crown made of gold and another metal. This crown displaced more water than gold of the same weight, so I'm certain that it's not completely made of gold. "

"The crown maker tricked me, didn't he? What a bad man he is!" shouted King Hiero. He then sent the crown maker to prison. 

Sara got up early this morning. Today she and her family were going on a hike （远足）. It was Sara's first hike. 

They drove for two hours. Then Sara's mother stopped the car at the foot of the mountain. Sara, her parents and her brother began to walk. There were a lot of tall trees and flowers. Butterflies and bees（蜜蜂） flew around. Sara felt afraid of the bees at first, but soon she didn't because she found the bees were more interested in the flowers. 

After walking for an hour, Sara was tired. "Come on, Sara," said her brother. "You can do it! You're ten years old. That's old enough to hike. " Sara kept going and looking around. There was green grass everywhere. She saw a small rabbit in the grass. Sara shouted in surprise and the rabbit ran away quickly. 

Another hour passed. They got to the top of the mountain. Sara's mother began to take out their picnic （野餐）. There were hamburgers, eggs, beef and juice. "Congratulations, Sara!" said her father. "You have just finished your first hike!" Sara smiled. She thought she liked hiking.
