Srikanth Bolla, 24 years old, is the first blind CEO in the world, who built a company valued at over $75 million. Today, he considers himself the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (lucky) man in the word, not only his {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (succeed), but also for having great parents and friends who always stand by him.

    When Srikanth was born, some of his {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(parent) friends and relatives advised them not to keep him, because it was difficult for a poor family {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (raise) a blind baby. But his parents didn't follow them. They decided to give Srikanth a positive, loving environment.

    Life was not easy for Srikanth. He had to face many challenges all his life. He {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (refuse) by his village school. So he had to go to school for special children. He did very well in studies and also developed many hobbies such as chess and cricket. Later Srikanth found a teacher who was kind enough to turn all his lessons into audio clips, and helped him {#blank#}6{#/blank#} his exams.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#} high school was difficult for a blind student, Srikanth didn't give up. Instead, he worked very hard and tried his best to go to MT(麻省理工), and graduated from {#blank#}8{#/blank#} university in 2012. After his graduation, he returned to India, and decided to start a company {#blank#}9{#/blank#} employed disabled people like him.

    Srikanth said, “Compassion(怜悯) is showing somebody the way to love and giving them the opportunity to grow up. If you do something good, it {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(come) back to you.”

—Yes. He wrote many books for children.

    In Germany there are different {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (kind) of high schools. Some prepare students for work, and others prepare them {#blank#}2{#/blank#} college. All schools are great places for making friends and learning German.

    Short days Most high schools in Germany begin at about 8: 00 a. m. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} end at about 3: 30 p. m. This {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (mean) your morning will be busy with classes. You will have time to do 1180 homework and take part {#blank#}5{#/blank#} private (私人的) clubs after school.

    Private clubs in many countries, schools offer official sports and after-school activities. This is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (little) common in Germany. After-school activities {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) usually organized by private clubs. There are clubs for things {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (like) soccer, dance, theatre and almost everything else. Once you are in Germany, ask around at school and talk to other students {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (find) out what private clubs there are in your area and meet your {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (interest).

A group of children from poor families from all over China gather at a baseball camp in Beijing. They live and train together, hoping to change their life through {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (play) baseball.

This is the story of the film Tough Out(《棒！少年》). It came out on December 11, 2020 and it is one of this {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (year) best films with a score of 8.7 out of 10 on Douban.

These children are being helped by Power Baseball Angels, a charity(慈善) programme launched in 2015 by Sun Lingfeng, former captain of China's national men's baseball team.

"Baseball changed my personality, teaching me rules and how {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (live) life. Without it, I would have probably become a bad boy," Sun told China Daily. Sun wants to help poor children in{#blank#}4{#/blank#} same way.

Ma Hu is one of the stars of the film. He {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (raise) by his grandmother in a poor village. He often fights {#blank#}6{#/blank#} others and almost never follows the rules at first. But with the guidance of his coaches, he learns to comfort his teammates instead when they lose a game. "I behaved {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bad) back then," Ma said. "I'm not like that anymore. My goal is to become a member of the national team in the future."

The film hopes to draw attention to the 40 million children who live in poor {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (condition) in China. Just like Ma, many of the kids in the movie are left-behind children. They don't have much money, education {#blank#}9{#/blank#} parents' care. How can these {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (problem) be solved? The baseball charity programme is offering hope to these kids.
