In 1883，an engineer named John Roebling intended to build a bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. 1，experts throughout the world thought it impossible and not 2.
Roebling couldn’t 3the vision in his mind of this bridge. He knew deep in his heart it could be done. He just had to 4the dream with someone else. After much persuasion he managed to 5his son Washington，a young engineer，that the bridge 6could be built.
Working together，the father and son developed concepts of 7it could be accomplished and how the difficulties could be 8. With great 9and inspiration，they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well，but unfortunately an accident took the life of John. Washington was injured and left with a brain damage，10him not being able to walk or talk or even move.
Everyone had a 11comment to make and felt the project should be trashed. In 12of his disability，Washington still had a burning 13to complete the bridge and his mind was still as 14as ever.
He tried to pass on his 15to some of his friends. Suddenly an idea 16him as he lay in hospital. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best 17of it. By moving this，he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife. He used the method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish 18the project was under way again.
For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm，until the Brooklyn Bridge was finally completed.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die 19that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and 20an impossible goal.

During the first week of the term, every student was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
Some jobs were more1than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. And the teacher would2who had been most responsible during the previous year. Among them Rita3. During the previous year she had followed all the teacher’s 4perfectly.
But that year there was a big5. Each child received one of the normal6, like cleaning the blackboard. But Rita’s job was very 7. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. And even though the teacher8that this ant was a very special ant, it9Rita. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her and even her father10Rita to ignore it.11, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by making the unimportant task into a special job.
“ I will turn this little task into 12great,” Rita said to herself.
So Rita started 13her little ant. She gave the ant the best food, and it grew bigger than anyone had expected…
One day, the teacher 14 a man to the students and said he would tell them a 15piece of news. The man said, “ Today they have announced the winner of the16, and this class is the winner! This class has been chosen to accompany me on a17to the tropical rainforest to investigate all kinds of insects.18all the schools of this region, it is this one that has best19for the little ant given to you. Well done!”
That day the class was filled with joy. Everyone20Rita and thanked the teacher. And many children learnt that to be given the most important tasks you have to know how to be responsible for even the smallest tasks.

After six months of living in New Zealand, I realized one thing. Despite my1for greater contact with local students,2 I initiated(开始) the contact, it wouldn’t happen. Local students are not interested in contacts with the international students, because they regard us as shy, 3 and sometimes snobby （势利的） people. Of course we know that’s not true. I want to change their opinions.
After4the problem, I put on my “confidence mask” each morning and walked around with a smile on my face. I chatted with people whenever I had the chance. I showed that I was not afraid to5 them, and that I was worthy of being a friend.
A side-effect of my6confidence was that my emotions occasionally broke down Only in the 7of my room, where no one could see, would I reveal my real emotions. All the rejections, funny looks, and8behind my back calling me a weirdo（古怪的人） melted into tears. Once that was done, I would put on my confidence mask once again and start a new day.
It finally worked My name became known throughout the school as I appeared to be 9and active. Slowly, I discovered that I no longer needed to put on my confidence mask. I had real friends. Instead of dragging myself to school and10to be happy, I was truly happy. I could not believe it when I was elected to the student government as Deputy Head boy----the first international student to receive the title.
From my11in New Zealand, I believe one thing will always be true: If you try your best to reach your goals, you’ll achieve your12 dreams.

Growing trees in the concrete jungle of Los Angels brings neighbors benefits beyond beauty.
As the1of TreePeople, a nonprofit organization he founded in 1973, Andy, now 54, has inspired hundreds of thousands of volunteers to2plant more than two million trees throughout Southern California.
Tree People3tools, blueprints, planting demonstrations, and tree-care supervisors free to all the participants,4me. “You will need their support,” Andy said, referring to my neighbors. “5
the community behind you, the trees you plant will die in five years.” So I started knocking on doors, hoping to share6I’d learnt in Tree People’s seminar(培训班) about the critical role of trees in removing smog from the7, cooling our homes and preventing water runoff.
Strange8it may seem, some people are afraid of trees. “The roots destroy sidewalks,” one neighbor said, “9will ruin my pipes. And I don’t want leaves.”10told me.
When I called Andy about the11I was getting from my neighbors, he encouraged me to keep trying. So my son and my wife delivered cookies while I went door to door. It12us half a year to sign permission forms from 16 neighbors for 21 trees.
When the big day arrived, I was excited and13. What if I threw a planting tree and14else came? But as I set out shovels(铁铲), my son and wife made cakes and doughnuts,15started to gather. Friends brought friends. Neighbors came with cousins and grandchildren. A local middle school even16with half the seventh grade. More than 300 people joined us.
Then Andy led us in a17: welcoming each tree into the world and18it name. After the ceremony, as I shook hands with volunteers and my neighbors, I19help but feel we’d accomplished20great. After all, trees need people, and people need trees.

Friendship is unconditional and uncritical, based only on mutual respect and the ability to enjoy each other's company. These authority figures never saw the way one of us could do something outrageous(令人不可容忍的), and the rest of us would joke about it for days. We could have fun doing absolutely nothing at all—because the 1 we provided each other with was enough. Rather than discussing operas, Lewinsky, or the weather, we enjoyed just 2 each other without any one of us trying to outsmart the others. Still, I realize that these adults had a3 to be concerned about the direction my friends were4; I also was concerned for them, but I wasn't about to 5 them.
Many times I would advise my friends that some activity may be 6 or to think things through before doing something, but I would never claim to hold the moral high ground and to condescend(屈尊) to them. When Marvin would begin rolling joints, when Alisa would tell me she skipped school because of a hangover, or when Merriam would tell me that her new boyfriend was in a street gang, I expressed my discomfort with their 7. However, I never 8 them with the threat of taking my friendship away. Contrary to the commercials on television, you can have 9 who use drugs. In fact, probably everyone does without 10 it.

Years ago,when I was working at a children’s institution,a boy1up in the waiting room.It was David.He had2his parents.He was very sad3to talk to others.
The first two times we met,David didn’t say a word.He sat in the chair and only4up at the children’s drawings on the wall.As he was about to leave5the second visit,I put my hand on his6.He didn’t shrink (退缩) back,but he didn’t look at me either.
“Come back next week,” I hesitated a bit.
He came,and I suggested we play a game of chess.He7.After that we played8every time,in complete9and without making any eye contact.It’s not10to cheat in chess,but I admit that I made sure David won11.
It seemed as if he enjoyed my12.But why did he never look at me？Perhaps he sensed that I respected his suffering.I kept wondering and13with him,until some months later,14,
he looked up at me.“It’s your turn,” he said.
After that day,David started15.He got friends in school.He wrote me a few16about how he would try to get into university.After some time,the letters17.Now he had really started to live his own life.
I learned how18cures pain.And David showed me how one—without any19—can reach out to another person.All it takes is a shoulder to cry on,a20touch and an ear that listens.

Only once a year, on his birthday, did Charlie Bucket ever get to taste a bit of chocolate(巧克力糖). The whole family 1 up their money for that 2 occasion(时刻), and when the great day arrived, Charles was always 3 with one small chocolate bar(条)to eat 4. And each time he 5 it, on those wonderful birthday mornings, he would place it 6 in a small wooden box that he 7, and treasure it as though it were a bar of solid 8; and 9 the next few days, he would 10 himself only to look at it, but never to 11 it. Then at last, when he could 12 it no longer, he would peel(剥)back a tiny 13 of the paper wrapping at one corner to 14 a tiny bit of chocolate, and then he would take a tiny nibble(轻咬)——just enough to allow the lovely sweet taste to 15 out slowly over his 16. Then next day, he would take 17 tiny nibble, and so on, and so on. And 18this way, Charlie would make his six-penny bar of birthday chocolate 19 him for more than a 20.

Once there was a very brilliant, creative and educated man. He gained much1while traveling throughout the world.2, he lost his legs and left arm in a tragic accident, leaving only a finger and thumb on his right hand. He became so depressed(沮丧的)that he was afraid he would spend his life3and would no longer be able to use his life in a(n)4way.
One day, he remembered how he had always loved getting 5. He realized that he still had partial 6of his right hand and could write with7. Then, he had an idea. “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”
He 8where he could find those who could be encouraged if they read his letters. He thought of people in9. Many of them had hope of regaining their10. Others would keep feeling depressed and remain put away for the rest of their lives. He decided that he must try to11them. So he wrote to a prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied that writing to the prisoners would be12. However, it would be against prison rules for the prisoners to write back.
13with the intention, the man began sending14messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul15his words,16his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.
It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of any17. Frequently, he felt discouraged, wondering if anyone 18read his letters. However, this was his19chance，so he determined to continue.
At last, he received a letter from the prison officer, which said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell (牢房) to cell until they almost fall to20!”
We all have unique experiences, abilities and talents. We can discover ways to reach others in need of encouragement and strength.

Suddenly a little boy 2 his way through the grown-up legs and sits down by the window. He is all alone among the 3 grown-ups. What a brave child, I think. His father 4 very strange happens suddenly. The 5 little boy slides down from his seat and leans his hand on my knee. 6, I think that he wants to 7 me and return to his father, so I help him to stand up.

A wise man once said, “A man who makes no mistakes usually does not make anything.” It took me a long time to gather the1to admit that I had been making mistakes since my earliest days.2, many of the things that I had learned were3.
As a child from a poor family, I learned that when you had money, you were4to spend it on whatever brought you happiness5. I didn’t understand that even though putting money in the bank would not6me that quick joy, it could provide a sense of7— I still had that money.
One problem is that I never had an opportunity to8any money of my own until late in my teen years. All of my gift money9to my parents for “saving”, which actually10to be an emergency fund(风险基金) for things such as food.
On rare11, some relatives would give me some money, but they would12in my ear not to tell my mother and to spend it quickly on something fun. Their13was good — they wanted to bring joy to the life of a “14”boy, but it didn’t teach me any15skills. Soon I would go back to having no money.
Another thing is that I believed that16help from others was bad. My parents were strict, and in many ways I17their philosophy (处事原则), but their personal beliefs prevented them from ever accepting any help.18we often had to live on a single part-time income, we never asked19anything. In this way, I was led to believe that accepting a helping hand, even in20of great need, was a sign of weakness.
