5．Most times，what people accept as hope is a feeling or thought that something desired may happen．The word hope is a guarantee（保证）of happiness without a doubt．Hope in ancient Greek is"elpis"meaning"to expect or look forward with pleasure"．Orison Swett Marden says"there is no medicine as great and powerful expectation of something better tomorrow．"
Samuel Esson Jonah is one of the world's most influential personalities of this century．When he was young，mining for Africans was hell on earth，because they were treated very badly and there were no key positions in the industry for them because it was believed that the black could not manage their affairs successfully．Even in the face of all these challenges and discriminations，Jonah hoped to head the industry someday．When he told his workmates and parents about his hope，he became a laughing stock．Not giving up on his hope，he worked hard toward it and at last he became president of Anglo Gold Ashanti．
Hope without doubt helps you to work hard until you finally achieve your aims or goals．Hope keeps one alive and also helps us persevere （坚持） to succeed．Someone may say"I've tried and failed several times"．As a matter of fact，failure is inevitable（无法避免的） sometimes but that doesn't overrule your ability to succeed．The key is that you can't give up your hope．Our history has seen many great achievers．Though they hoped they could make it，they also failed； however，they didn't give up on their hope．They worked even harder and eventually succeeded．
Today when we can celebrate so many of them for their courage，remember"faith without work is dead"，so is your dream or hope．Samuel Similes says"Hope is the companion（伙伴） of power，the mother of success，for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles （奇迹）．"So don't let your hope down．

4．"Barefoot Mike"gets a lot of attention when he shows up at the beginning of a race．He loves to run and has been running since he was a kid．He loves to race，and often competes in 10K races．But that's not the reason he gets so much attention．People notice him because when he runs，"Barefoot Mike"runs barefoot．
Running barefoot has become a huge trend in the world of running．"I didn't set out to be a trend setter，"laughed"Barefoot Mike"，otherwise known as Mike Whitaker．"I've always been a runner，but until a few years ago，I always wore shoes．Then one day I was running after a rainstorm．I stepped off into the grass to avoid a puddle（水坑） on the sidewalk，and accidentally stepped into a huge muddy puddle that had been hidden in the grass．I tried to keep running，but the wet and dirty shoe made it really hard．I figured the best solution was to just get rid of the shoes．"
Mike took off his shoes and dropped them into the nearest trash can．"Then I started running．At first I went really slowly because I was watching out for rocks or other things that could hurt my feet，but there really weren't any problems．"He started going faster．"It felt so good!"Mike said．"My knee，which always ached，didn't ache．My foot was able to spread out so I had better balance．And my feet didn't feel all hot and sweaty．It was awesome!"
"There are actually potential health benefits to running barefoot，"said Dr．Nancy Bower，a podiatrist（足科医师）．
