    Riley read so many stories about pirates (海盗) and treasure chests that he wanted to find a treasure chest of his own. One day, Riley went to the library and read a story about a man that buried expensive gold coins in his backyard in a chest. Riley was so interested in the story. "Mom, tell him that treasure chests are only in books and movies," said his old brother Ted. "It could really happen," said Riley. "Riley's right," said mom. "If you believe in something strong enough, it could happen."

    That night Riley's mom told Riley's dad how much Riley wanted to find a treasure chest. "I have an idea," said Riley's mom. "Saturday is Riley's birthday.

They would give him a map with clues (线索 ) to look for the treasure chest outside.

Shirley Temple, the once-famous child movie star, died at the age of 85 on February 10, 2014. She was born on April 23, 1928. She was good at acting and dancing. In 1934, she starred(主演) in the movie Bright Eyes. From then on she became famous around the world. Later she starred in other movies and won a Juvenile Oscar in February, 1935.

    For many Americans born in the 1930s and 1940s, Temple was not just an on-screen star but also a close friend in their childhood. She was remembered by the world as “little angle” for all time. An American movie star said, “Little Shirley Temple encouraged the whole country during the Great Depression(大萧条).”

    Shi Li and Cui Jiping are husband and wife. They are disabled. They completed the first Chinese encyclopedic(百科知识的) dictionary for deaf people and people with hearing problems.

The dictionary includes words on medicine, education, psychology, law, history and culture about deaf people's life. This book provides a learning tool for this special group of people and it helps them know about the world more easily.

    They spent six years and over 1,000,000 yuan on the book. They first collected material for the book by themselves, then they invited a lot of experts across the country to write.

    The book is warmly welcomed by the deaf. One of the readers said, “The book shows that we're not alone. We can have our own way to communicate with the world. ”

      A gentleman once advertised(登广告)for a boy to help him in his office, and nearly fifty persons asked for the place. Out of the whole number he in a short time chose one, and sent all the other boys away.

    “I should like to know," said a friend, "on what ground you chose that boy. He didn't even have a recommendation(推荐信)with him.”

    “You are mistaken,”said the gentleman, "he had a great many: —

    “He made his shoes clean when he came in, and closed the door after him; showing that he was orderly(井然有序的).

      "He gave his seat to the disabled old man; showing that he was        

      "He took off his cap when he came in, and answered my questions quickly and respectfully c恭敬地); showing that he was polite.

       "He lifted up the book which I had purposely (故意地) laid on the floor, and put it on the table, while all the others stepped over it or pushed it aside; showing that he was careful.

      "And he waited quietly for his turn, instead of pushing the others aside; showing that he was modest (谦逊的 ) .

      "When I talked with him, I noticed that his clothes were carefully brushed, his hair in nice order, and his teeth as white as milk. When he wrote his name, I noticed that his fingernails were clean; instead of having some untidy personal habits.

     "Don't you call these things letters of recommendation? I do; and the things that I can discover a boy by using my eyes for ten minutes, is worth more than all the fine letters that he can bring.”

   Phil White has just returned from an 18,000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making thisepic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised £70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out whether he has broken the record or not.

   White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June, 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than 1,300 hours in the saddle (车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe first, and then the Middle East, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and finally the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.

   The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to get away with the little money he had. The worst thing that had happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometers he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and wants to write a book about his adventures.

Ronny looked like every other kid in the classroom where I volunteered at the Reading Mom in New York. 1 , he couldn't read like others in his grade because he had a speech problem. I worked with all students in his class one by one to improve their 2 skills.

On the days when it was Ronny's turn, I'd give him a warm 3 . That's why he sat close to me and opened the book as if he was opening a treasure that 4 had even seen.

I watched his 5 move slowly under each letter as he tried hard to read out. Every time he tried to read, his pronunciation sounded really 6 . In spite of that, the biggest smile would show on his face and his eyes would shine with 7 , which broke my heart.

A few weeks before the school year ended, I 8 Ronny with a book written by myself. A few days later,I returned to the school to pay a visit. I 9 Ronny on a chair near the playground, the book open in his legs.

His head teacher said, "He hasn't 10 that book since you gave it to him. Do you know that's his first book he's ever actually owned?"

Deeply moved, I 11 to Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked, "Will you read me your book?"For the next few minutes, he read to me more 12 than I'd thought. The pages were already dog-eared, as the book had been read 13 times already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great 14 , "What good book!"

At that moment, as a writer, I knew 15 a writer should always do — care enough to write a story that changes a child's life, care enough to make a difference.
