7.Sharing Beauty
It was in October.I was aimlessly wandering down the street,heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset.I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty,but it seemed everyone was in a hurry.
I took the next-best action.Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute.She looked at me as though I were from some other planet.She hesitated,and then seemingly against her better judgment,she moved toward the door.
When she got outside I said to her,"Just look at that sunset!Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone."
For a few seconds we just looked.Then I said,"God is in his heaven and all is right with the world."I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left.It felt good to share the beauty.
Four years later my situation changed greatly.I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage.I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life.I lived in a trailer park which,at the time,I considered a real come-down,and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.
One day,while my clothes were going around,I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances.She had come to the end of a marriage,moved to a strange community,and the only job she could find was one she disliked:clothing sales in a department store.
Then something that happened to her changed everything.She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset.The stranger had said,"God is in his heaven and all is right with the world,"and she had realized the truth in that statement.From that moment on,she turned her life around.

15.Teddy Bears have been a very popular children's toy for many years.Most adults can remember their first stuffed bear,and over the decades these toys have become nearly a symbol of their childhood.However,children are not the only ones with whom these toys have become popular,as many adults make it a habit to collect these toys as well.
The Teddy Bear first became popular during the early 20th century and was associated with then President Theodore Roosevelt.The story can date back to a hunting trip that president Roosevelt had taken where he was invited to be the one to shoot a black bear that had been tied to a tree.Being a crazy outdoors lover and hunter,Roosevelt refused to kill the animal because he believed that shooting the helpless bear was unsportsmanlike and wrong.This story quickly spread through newspapers across the country,and in the end inspired the introduction of a stuffed toy (填充玩具) called"Teddy's bear".
These toys became popular soon after first introduced,and within ten years,they were being produced by dozens of companies around the world.Within a generation,these stuffed bears were"the"toy to have,and have always been within children's toy boxes ever since.
They are most often mass-produced in factories in order to keep up with the high demand. However,there are still companies that take great pride in their handmade designs; and while handmade teddy bears are often preferred,they are also generally more expensive than their mass-produced ones.
Today,these bears and other similar toys generate well over a billion dollars a year in profits for the companies that make them.Walk through just about any toy store in America and you will find dozens of different teddy bears lining the shelves.
