In 1883, a creative engineer, John Roebling, was inspired to build a splendid bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However, experts throughout the world thought that this was 1 . Even so, Roebling could not 2the idea in his mind. After much discussion, he3convince his son Washington, an up-and-coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built. They hired their 4and began to build their dream bridge.
Only a few months 5the project was underway a tragic on-site accident killed John Roebling and 6injured his son, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to move or 7. Surely now the project would have to be 8. Though Washington Roebling lay in his hospital bed, he was not 9and his mind remained as 10as it was before the accident. Suddenly an idea 11him. All he could move was one finger, so he 12the arm of his wife with that finger, 13to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. For 13 years Washington tapped out his 14with one finger until the bridge was 15completed.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of never-say-die attitude that 16 a terrible physical disability and achieves an impossible 17. Often when we face difficulties in our daily lives, our problems seem very small 18what many others have to face. The Brooklyn Bridge shows us that even the most 19dream can be realized with 20no matter what the chances are.

A young school teacher had a dream that an angel appeared to him and said, “You will be given a child who will grow up to become a world1. How will you prepare her so that she will realize her intelligence, grow in confidence, develop both her confidence and sensitivity, be open-minded, yet 2in character? In short, what kind of education will you 3so that she can become one of the world's truly great leaders?”
The young teacher 4in a cold sweat. It had never occurred to him before ---any one of his present or future students could be the person 40in his dream. Was he preparing them to rise to any position which they may 5? He thought, “How might my 6change if I knew that one of my students were this person?” He7began to formulate (规划;想出)a plan in his mind.
This student would8experience as well as instruction. She would need to know how to solve problems of various kinds. She would need to know the value of lifelong learning in order to keep a curious and9mind.
His teaching10. Every young person who walked through his11became, for him, a future world leader. He saw each one, not12they were, but as they could be. He13the best from his students, yet tempered(使缓和)it with pity. He taught each one as if the future of the14depended on his instruction.
After many years, a woman he knew15to a position of world fame. He realized that she must16have been the girl described in his dream. Only she was not one of his17, but rather his daughter. For of all the18teachers in her life, her father was the best.
Where and how you will19this child is a mystery. But believe that one child's future may depend upon the influence only you can provide, and something remarkable will happen.

A boy of 14 has become the youngest student to win a place at Cambridge University. Arran Fernandez, who was 1at home by his father, Neil, will 2 a mathematics degree at Fitzwilliam College next month and he hopes to have a career as a research mathematician to 3 the Riemann hypothesis(黎曼猜想) that has confused the brightest minds. It will make him the youngest Cambridge student 414-year-old William Pitt the Younger studied there in 1773.
Last night the child genius said: “I am looking forward to going to the 5 . I have started the first-year books 6  and it is all right, not too 7 . I can understand it. I am excited about going to Cambridge, 8 I am used to making records about being the youngest in education. It isn’t the youngest moment that is so important to me-- 9 I’m more interested in going to Cambridge than comparing 10 with other people who go there.”
But11his age he will not be able to 12 many of the alcohol-fuelled festivities(庆典) traditionally 13to Freshers’ Week. “I don’t think I’m missing too much fun,” he insisted. “Even if I was 18, I wouldn’t want to go out 14. ”
Arran, 15  plans to join the bird-watching society instead and go boating while at university, was five when he 16 the youngest person to be 17  a GCSE (General Certificated of Secondary Education), after passing maths. He was offered the 18 to learn at Cambridge in 2010, when he was 14, on the condition he gained an A-level in physics, which he 19 with an A+ grade. Arran had already gained an A grade in further maths last year.
Cambridge also asked him to attend three GCSEs in subjects which were not related to maths and physics to 20  his knowledge. He gained A+s in English literature and French and an A in English language this summer.

Christmas is over. And I got my wanted radio-controlled truck. But you would not believe the1 and work that went into getting this holy toy.
For over a month I stared at 2 magazines I received from my friend until I had made up my 3: I wanted a Pumpkin truck. I 4 to work immediately, dropping hints to my father about it.
My first job was to tell him about how the steering(操纵杆) on my old car didn’t 5, but he just blamed the problems on my bad 6.
My next plan would have to be more 7. “Look at this, Dad, the truck with controller and battery pack—all for only US$250!” You can’t 8 to miss out on this bargain!”
His 9 was that he certainly could afford to miss this 10 and for US$250 you could buy 11 educational like a telescope. “A telescope? To look at the moon? I’11 look at it when I’m 97 years old and living in a 12 home! This is my youth! I am supposed to run about.”
I went to my room, 13 at how mean(吝啬的) my father was. It was obvious that he didn’t 14 that I would die if I did not get the Pumpkin radio-controlled truck.
When I 15 on Christmas morning I wasn’t excited. I had been 16. I opened all my presents until there was just one big package 17. “The telescope,” I thought. I 18 the packaging and looked at the top of the box—it was a Pumpkin truck. I had 19! I loved my parents! I felt like I could do anything! I could 20 get an A+ in English class.

You may think there is only sand in the desert(沙漠) of the world, but it is not true. In the desert, as we know, there is a little1 and it is not2 for most plants. Still we can see some plants live in the desert.
There is3 in some places in the deserts. We4 these places oases(绿洲). In the oases, there are villages and towns. People grow5 kinds of vegetables and rice in the fields there. People6 live outside the oases. They have camels(骆驼), sheep and other animals. These animals live7 the desert plants for their food and do not need any water. The8 are useful to the desert people in many ways. They eat the9 and drink the milk of the animals. They10 the camels for carrying water, food, and11.
The people of the desert have to keep12 from place to place. They must always look13 grass or desert plants for their animals. When there14 no more food for their animals, they move to another place. The desert people are15. Every one in the desert likes to help the people in trouble and give them food and water.

Some people have very good memories, and can 1learn quite long poems by2 . There are other people who can only3 things that they have said again and again.
A4 memory is a great help in learning a language.5 learns his own language by remembering6 he hears when he is a small child. Some children7in their own country, and they seem to learn two languages8 as easily as one. In school it is not so easy to learn9 foreign language because students have so10 time for it and they are busy with other lessons, too.
A man’s mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only11 what we see but also of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo12a camera, there is much to do when the photo is finished and13to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work14 before we can keep a picture15 in our minds.

When Winston Churchill was a young man, his father concluded that Churchill was “unfit for a career in law or politics” because he did so badly in school.
When Charles Darwin was getting ready to1on his five-year expedition on The Beagle, his father was extremely2. he thought his son was falling into a life of sin and idleness.
George Washington’s mother was a complaining,3woman by all accounts. She thought little of Washington’s achievements and didn’t4at either of his presidential inaugurations(就职典礼). She was always complaining that her5overlooked her and she was especially angry when her son George ran off to6the army for the American Revolution. She7believed it was his duty to stay home and take care of her.
In his youth, the8Leonard Bernstein, one of the most talented and successful composers in American history, was continually pressured by his father to give up his9and do something worthwhile, like help out in his family’s beauty-supply business. After Leonard became10, his father was asked about that, and he answered, “Well, how was I supposed to know he was the Leonard Bernstein?”
People may criticize you or make fun of your ideas or actively try to11you. Often their efforts are only attempts to protect you from12. But obviously failure is only a possibility if you stop. If you keep13, a “failure” is just another learning14. Besides, giving up on a heartfelt goal is worse than failing. “Many people die”, said Wendell Holmes, “15their music still in them.” That’s true tragedy.
So listen16to the worries and criticisms of your friends and family, and do your best to put their17at ease, but then carry on. Listen last to your own heart. You18yourself better than anyone on earth. Make sure your song is19.
Listen to your own heart. Don’t let your music20with you.

She then5for a vase to put them in. “Somebody has sent me flowers the6first day!” She thought happily. “But who could it be?” She began to wonder.

The friendship between us never fades. Mary Allen was my best friend—like a sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding, and so on.
When I was 13, my family moved. Mary and I1in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special2— like my wedding and Mary’s. Soon we were3with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less. One day a card that I sent came back,4“Address Unknown.” I had no idea how to5Mary.
Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to 6stories of my children and then grandchildren. I need to share my7when my brother and then my mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could8.
One day I was reading a newspaper9I notice a picture of a young woman who looked a lot like Mary and whose last name was Wagman— Mary’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought,10I wrote to her anyway.
She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Mary Allen Wagman is my mother”. Minutes later I heard a voice that I11at once, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and asked about each other’s12.
Now the empty place in my heart is filled, and there is one thing that Mary and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. ------ Eleanor Roosevelt
My home is a place of great beauty and agricultural richness, as well as of war and natural disasters. When I was only fourteen years old, I was filled with1 in spite of the terrible surroundings. The families living here, who tried to make their living from the land, 2 great losses.
For the 3 I felt sorry especially, but I4 to be hopeless. I decided that where I was, I could do 5 to help them. I began knocking on every door and saying to each person who6 my knock, “I know that you are7 and give the birds that come to your yard a little8. Please consider me your bird. Give me only a handful of rice each week when I come to your9. I will take it to the temple where it can be given to the10 children.”
No one seemed to11 giving me a handful of rice, even12 they had little themselves. On Sunday, I would go to the13 and give my handfuls of rice to the monks to14 to the children.
One day, I came to a house that had15 to give. I told my story and asked if I could be their bird. The woman called her daughters, and16 gave me fifty cents, as well as the handful of rice! I began to ask for17 and rice from the other “bird feeders”, and they gave them to me. Everyone was happy to be helping those who were suffering, even18 only this small way. The temple was soon able to help everyone who came to it for food and clothing.
“Consider me your bird.” My19 idea had not stopped the war, but anyway, it was20 some peace.
