One morning, when I was leaving for my business, a middle-aged man came up and asked me for help. He said he had no money to get food for his large family. "You look 1 . Why don't you work?" I asked. "Simply because I cannot get work, sir. " "If I give you work, what pay do you want?" "As long as I can get bread for my family, sir, " he answered.
I decided to find out if he really meant what he said. "OK. I'll give you one pound an hour, if you 2 a brick (砖块) under your arm and walk around the square for five hours without stopping. " "Thank you, sir. I will. "
I found a brick and started him on his walk before I went on my 3 . I never thought he would do what he had said.
When I came back five hours later, I saw him still 4 with the brick under his arm. I stopped him and gave him five pounds. He thanked me and told me that some people had 5 to help him when they knew why he was doing all this. He said they would give him work directly, but he 6 . Before leaving, he asked if I would give him the 7 , I did.
Several years later, a well-dressed man greeted me on a train. Seeing I was not sure who he was, he 8 that he was the brick man and had his own business now. "You know, I still keep that brick and always consider it as the most 9 thing I have because it has brought me luck and success. "
In fact, it was not the brick that made the man successful, but his faithfulness (坚定) in doing 10 a very little thing.
▲ We are pleased to announce the results of our competition to create a new school festival for students to celebrate this year. This competition, which we have had twice, has been a huge success. But this year, we have had more entries (参赛作品) than ever before! We have received many wonderful suggestions, including one that suggested there should be a festival of shoes! This was certainly a creative idea, but not surprisingly, our judges (裁判) liked other suggestions more! The winning suggestion was from Henry Chan, who suggested that there should be a festival of bicycles. It was the judges' favorite. Henry, who is in Grade Eight, said that he went to school by bicycle every day and enjoyed taking bicycle trips very much. He added that so many public bicycles were in use in our city that it would be a shame not to celebrate them. As part of the festival, a bicycle trip will be organized in the city. Then students will hold a ten-meter bicycle riding competition, in which anyone who can ride the slowest wins. What's more, you students are called on to ride bicycles to school as often as possible. The Bicycle Festival will be from June 18th and last two days. We hope you will take part in the festival and do your bit to protect our environment!
