  Tadatoyo Yamamoto is a Japanese businessman. He visits the USA from time to time. While he was telephoning at a hotel(旅社) on a visit to Chicago, he put his bag on the floor. A few minutes later, Mr Tadatoyo Yamamoto reached down for it, but it was gone. Inside it were about $ 900, his passport(护照), photos of his family, and his return ticket to Japan.

  But three weeks after he returned to Tokyo, Mr Tadatoyo Yamamoto received an envelope(信封). There was nothing inside but his passport, his airline ticket and money order(汇票) for more than $ 900 and a letter from Mr Joseph Loveras. It said, “I hope this money order and the things will make you believe in the people of Chicago.”

  The next time he travelled to the USA, Mr Tadatoyo Yamamoto called on Mr Joseph Loveras. He was 67 years old and in bad health. He got only $ 493 a month.

  He said that he saw the bag on a street corner and found the money and the ticket in the top part of the bag. He changed the money into money order and spent his own money to send it to Japan.

  Mr Tadatoyo Yamamoto was very moved by what Mr Loveras had done. “I asked him why he would go to all the trouble to return everything to me. He told me that if he had not done it, it would have made him feel bad for the rest of his life.”

  Now they have become friends. Mr Tadatoyo Yamamoto visits Mr Loveras every time he is in the USA.

Mr. Wise,

I am a slow(迟钝的)student. Most of my classmates are much better than me. So I usually get worried. I spent much time studying for the tests, but I can’t get good grades(分数). Sometimes my father gives me some help. He tells me not to worry about it. But it doesn’t work. What do you think I should do?

Xiaoming

Dear Xiaoming,

Many famous people were not so good when they were young. Edison, a famous scientist(科学家), did badly in his studies when he was a 12-year-old boy. But he did a lot for the people in the world at last. When I was at your age, I didn’t do well at school. But I kept working hard and I succeeded(成功) at last. You should take it easy and try your best. Tomorrow is another day. I believe you can do better.
