Instroduction to Letters to Sam
Dear Reader，
Please allow me to tell you something before you read this book. When my1 ,Sam, was born, my heart was filled with joy. I had been sitting in a wheelchair for 20 years before then,and I have been2ill many times.So I wonderfuled if would have the3to tell Sam what I had4.
For years I have been hosting a program on the5and writing articles for a magazine.Being6to move freely,I have learned to sit still and keep my heart7, exchanging thoughts with thousands of listeners and8. So when Sam was born ,I 9to tell him about school and friendship,Romance and work,Love and everything else. That’s how I started to write these10. I hoped that Sam would11them sooner or later.
However,that expedition12when Sam showed signs of autism(自闭症)at the age of two.He had actually stopped talking before the discovery of the signs.He13to communicate with others,even the family members.That was 14for me but didn’t stop me writing on.I realized that I had even 15now to tell him.I wanted him to16what it means to be “different ”from others,and learn how to fight against the misfortune he’11 17as I myself,his grandfather,did. I just18 if I could write all that I wanted to say in the rest of my life.
Now,19the book has been published,I have been given the chance.Every chapter in the book is a letter to Sam:some about my life,and all about what it means to be a 20.

The Arhat Who Bares His Heart (开心罗汉)
Here is a story about one of the 18 arhats (阿罗汉) in the Buddhist temple.
Shubo Jia (戌博迦) was a crown prince. He did not really want to become the 1 of his small state. Instead, he wanted to leave the world of red dust and follow the Buddha and find enlightenment. But he 2 he had responsibilities to his kingdom.
His younger brother, however, wanted very much to become king, and was 3 to mount (发动) an armed rebellion against Shubo Jia in order to claim the throne.
And so, to calm his brother and to prevent a war, and above all to pursue the path he had decided he must follow to find enlightenment, he called his 4 to him, and explained that there was no desire in his heart 5 the land. All that was in his 6 was the Buddha nature.
His brother did not believe any of this, for, in his mind, whatever the Buddha nature might be, it could not 7 with the joy of running a kingdom, even a small kingdom and having everyone obey one’s every command. And so his brother suspected that Shubo Jia was 8 trying to fool him with some unworthy ruse.
SHubo Jia protested that he was completely 9. And with that, he pulled 10 his gown, and the face of a Buddha was seen peering out from the middle of his chest, for indeed in his heart there was only the Buddha nature.
So that is how he is represented in art today. And it is why he is called “The Arhat Who Bares His Heart.”

Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in the 19th century.
The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to1the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.
The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of 2
and crime. He suffered enormous pain,3hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I4the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered5and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me6is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs Maylie and Rose and7a new life.
How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive pain 8pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information9in the novel by Dickens --- he believed that goodness could conquer 10difficulty.
Goodness is to human what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly 11person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, “ The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.” He who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do 12to both the people he has helped and himself.

My chance came at last. Our school was going to hold a sports meet. I knew what it 1 to me so I got up very early to prepare for it. I2 running and jumping. When I was 3 I reminded myself of my promise and went on.
4the time came nearer, I felt quite 5. On the first day I came fourth in the 1500m 6 but I was far from 7 because what I wanted most was the highlight of the sports meeting—250x8 relay race. I would run the last leg for my team.
With a shot, the race began. All the students were 8 for their team. The competition was so 9 that I began to feel nervous. Before my turn came, my team was 10 the others. Even worse, I almost dropped the stick when I was trying to 11 it.
12after that, there was nothing in my mind except to run as fast as possible. Just when I was approaching the finish line, my legs 13. Then my promise came to mind again and 14 me to go on. To my surprise, I was the first to 15the finish line!
16, I had proved to myself and those who had often laughed at me that I am not 17 at all! My classmates greeted me warmly and I hugged them tightly. I had won the prize as well as their 18.
From the sports meeting, I learnt that sometimes things are not so difficult as they 19 to be. Just try your best without fear and you might be surprised at the 20.

They all 3the concert to stop for a short time 4another instrument was brought to the musician.
But instead, the 5composed( 使镇定 ) herself and then signaled the conductor to start again.The orchestra( 管弦乐团 ) continued where they had 6and the musician played the music on three strings. In her 7she worked out new fingering to make up for the missing string. A work that few people could play 8on four strings, the violinist played on three.
When she 9and bowed to the audience,there was a silence in the hall. And then the crowd rose to their feet and cheered wildly. The violinist 10and wiped sweat from her forehead. When 11returned to the hall, she 12why she had continued to play although there was a 13string.

Maybe we've lived most of our lives and we have only a little time left. Maybe disease has 16us of our capacity( 能力 ) to work. Or perhaps a financial(财政的) loss has left us very17. Can we still make "music"?
There will come a time when we all 18loss. Can we find the 19to discover how much "music" we can still make with what has been left, just like the violinist?

Recently, online high schools in America have sparked (激发) a debate about whether or not taxpayers’ money should be used to support online education. Online schools receive the same amount of funding as all other public schools, even though they don’t have to pay for rent or school equipment. States should use their educational funds to improve education at real schools, not to support online programs.
Some students only use online classes to supplement their school work. They benefit from the social experience of a traditional high school, while still taking online courses.
However, about 90 thousand students in America receive their education only from online schools. 50 thousand of these students take courses at Florida Virtual School, the largest online school in the country. While this method of schooling helps students who live in remote regions, most school systems are upset that they are losing more students each year to these online programs. 
Although online learning allows children to work at their own pace, these online schools have only one teacher per several hundred students. Often, teachers can’t give struggling students the help they need as they are unable to talk face-to-face with them, to find exactly what they’re having difficulty with.  
Additionally, even though online schooling accommodates (顾及) students who live in more remote states, students in online programs may suffer in social situations because they will not learn valuable communication skills from their schooling. Similar to students who are home schooled, those who take only online classes won’t learn social etiquette (礼节), and will be treated differently by their peers.
Online schooling might be useful for places where there are not enough students for a real school, such as agricultural regions, but states should only spend taxpayers’ money on online schools in extreme cases.
