Stevie Wonder is an American musician, singer, song writer and record producer. As a child prodigy(神童), he became one of the most creative and popular 1 performers of the late 20th century. He became blind shortly 2 his birth.

    American golfer(高尔夫球手) Tiger Woods is a 14-time major champion. He was born in Cypress, California. He is 3 as one of the most successful 4 in history.

    One day, Stevie Wonder and Tiger Woods were in a bar. Stevie Wonder said, "5 is the golf?"

    Woods replied, "Not too bad. I used to have some problems with my swing(挥杆动作), 6 now I've got what is right."

    Stevie Wonder said, "I 7  find that when my swing goes wrong, I need to stop playing for a while and not 8 it. 9, the next time I play, it seems to be all right."

    Tiger Woods said, "You also play 10?"

    Stevie Wonder said, "Oh, yes. I've been playing it 11 many years." Woods asked, "But you're
12! How 13 you play golf?"

   Wonder replied. "I 14 my caddie(球童) to stand in the middle of the fairway(球道) and shout to me. I hear his voice and play towards him. Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddie moves to the green and again I play the ball towards his voice."

    Woods asked, "What' 15 handicap(障碍)?"

    Stevie said, "Well, I have no handicap. Let' play around sometime."

    Woods said, "OK, that's a good idea. When would you like to play?"

    Stevie Wonder said, "Pick a night!"

    I try to be a good father. Give my kids love. Work nights to pay for their schooling. But1with Michael Hoyt, I am nothing.

    This love2began in Winchester, 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled (勒住) by the umbilical cord (脐带) during birth, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to3his limbs (四肢).

    "He'll be a vegetable the4of his life," Doctors told Michael and his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old.

    But the Hoyts weren't5it. Because they noticed that Rick's

6followed them around the room. When Rick was 11 they took him to the engineering department and asked if there was anything to help the boy communicate. But doctors told the parents that there was7going on in their son's brain.

    "Tell him a joke," Michael said to the doctors. They did and Rick8. Actually a lot was going on in his brain.

    Equipped(装备) with a computer that allowed him to control the cursor (光标)9the side of his head, Rick was10able to communicate. What is his first word? "Run!" And after a high school classmate was paralyzed (瘫痪) in a(n)11and the school organized a charity run (慈善跑) for him, Rick typed, "Dad, I want to do that."

    Yeah, right. How was Michael, a man who never ran more than a mile12going to push his son five miles?13he tried. Surprisingly, that day changed Rick's life. "Dad," he typed, "when we were running, it felt like I wasn't14anymore!"

    And that sentence also changed Michael 's life. He wanted to give Rick that feeling as15as he could. Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in marathons. Eight times in triathlon (铁人三项).

    "No question about it," Rick types. "My dad is the Strongest Dad in the World."

Let me tell you a story. One day, when Bill {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(walk)home from school,he heard a noise coming from the bushes. He went over to see {#blank#}2{#/blank#}it was. Behind a bush, he found a black dog. Bill went back home as fast as he could with the dog and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(show) her to his parents. Bill's dad found that the dog had {#blank#}4{#/blank#}broken(断了的) leg, so they brought the dog to a doctor for animals {#blank#}5{#/blank#} car. On the way, Bill's parents decided that Bill could keep the dog if they couldn't find the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (own).

When they arrived, the doctor checked the dog. He told Bill that she was going to have babies! Bill was very {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(surprise). The next day, Bill put some signs like "FOUND A BLACK DOG" around his neighborhood. He also wrote his family's phone number on the signs.

Two days later, Bill got a call {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the owner of the dog. The owner thanked Bill. When he came to pick up his dog, he said Bill could have one of the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(baby). Bill was very happy. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(final), Bill got a baby dog from the owner. He named him Rosco and liked him very much.

There was a rich man who had many banana trees in a village. After a good harvest (丰收), he decided to give some bananas to the nearest temple (寺庙) as an offering to God (神). He asked one servant (仆人) to take the bananas to the temple.

The servant got very hungry and ate two bananas on the way. When he reached the temple, he gave the remaining bananas to the temple. That night, the rich man had a strange dream. In his dream, God visited him and said, "The two bananas you gave me were very good." The rich man woke up suddenly and was surprised by his dream.

The next morning, he asked the servant whether all the bananas had reached the temple or not. The servant told him he had eaten two bananas. The rich man was disappointed but wasn't angry. Instead, he realized that helping the poor was the only way to reach God.

From that day on, the rich man started helping people in need in the village. He gave away food, clothes and money to the poor, and he even built a school for the children. His kind actions inspired others to do the same. Great changes took place in the whole village soon. Everyone was happy, and there were no more poor people. They learned that the true way to happiness was through kindness.

Qian Xuesen was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province on December 11, 1911. He left Hangzhou at the age of three when his father obtained a post in Beijing. He graduated from the High School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University and attended Shanghai Jiaotong University. There, he received a degree in mechanical engineering with an emphasis on railroad administration.

After his graduation from Shanghai Jiaotong University in 1934, he travelled across the Pacific Ocean to the United States for further study. There he received his PhD degrees in both aerospace and mathematics. After he graduated, he became a professor as well as a researcher who studied rockets and missile theories.

In 1949, when the news of the birth of the People's Republic of China came to the United States, Qian Xuesen and his wife decided to return to China. In 1950, when they were ready to return home, they were stopped by US officials and sent to prison. With the help of Chinese government and his friends, he finally returned home.

When he returned to China in 1955, our country's space research was almost a blank. In 1956, he set up the first research institute of rockets and missiles. From then on, he was in charge of developing China's missile, rocket and spacecraft research programs. He was a pioneer in these related fields and was honored as "The father of China's missiles". He is the pride of the Chinese people. He made important contributions to the missile and space programs in China.

He passed away on October 31, 2009, at the age of 98, but he is a man who still encourages Chinese youth. His devotion to our country was expressed in his saying. "My career is in China, my success is in China and my destination is in China!" When someone said he could make much more money if he stayed in the United States, he laughed and said, "My family name is Qian, but I don't like qian."

A Chinese film production, Qian Xuesen, directed by Zhang Jianya and starring Chen Kun as Qian Xuesen, was released on December 11, 2011 in both Asia and North America, and on March 2, 2012 in China.

Henry is going through a very hard time. His wife just passed away(去世). He feels that life without her is hopeless. For months, Henry sits in his house, doing nothing. 

Henry's neighbor, an old woman named Lisa, sees him from her yard one day. She doesn't see him outside in days! She asks him to come closer to the fence(篱笆) next to her house. 

"Hello, Henry! Just look at this fence. It is falling apart. You are a strong man. Can you help me fix(修补)this fence?" Lisa asks. 

Henry is angry inside. He is the one who needs help right now. He thinks the old lady is being kind of rude. But she is too old to fix the fence herself, so he agrees. 

Henry works on the fence for days. When he finishes, she thanks him. Henry smiles for the first time in months. 

"What a wonderful job! Could you please paint it for me?"Lisa says to him. 

Henry cannot believe she is asking for more help. But because he respects her, he agrees. He works hard painting the fence in the hot sun. As their neighbors pass by, they all tell Henry what a beautiful job he has done!, Henry feels very happy. 

Several days later, Henry feels that life is still hopeful. He finally understands that Lisa isn't being rude. She knows that staying busy can help us forget our sadness. He helped her, but she truly saved him.
