We all have weaknesses and strengths—no matter who we are .Some get sick easily.
Some are1people in communication, struggling with2.
Sometimes weaknesses seem to outweigh (胜过)the strengths and sometimes it’s the other way around.3,facing huge limitations, many people tend to4it as just bad luck ---but not everyone. Those who rise over their weaknesses can still manage to5extraordinary things.
I6a school prize –giving ceremony and the guest speaker was Andrew Becroft,7had a severe stutter (结巴 ) as a child .8allowing this to limit him , he chose to overcome it. Now he is a famous judge . Not only9he become successful, but he did so in a profession10he had to speak before others regularly. Had he not worked on his11ability, it would have been very limiting to his success in life and work.
Many people face far huger limitations, such as loss12legs or arms , being born extremely poor,13you do. But whatever the limitation, you’1114find people who have overcome it. Helen Keller, who fell15and lost her sight and hearing at 19 months old, worked hard to be a famous woman with great16. Mark Inglis lost both his legs in a mountain climbing accident,17has since climbed Mt. Everest.
If one of them had told you what they hoped to achieve, you would have nodded kindly while18thinking to yourself that they had no chance . And yet the results speak for19.
Though most of us will never have to face such challenges , yet most of us will never achieve to the20that these people have either if we never seriously think of what we can do.

My family came to America in 112of us spoke a word of English. Each morning
I disliked going to school for fear of not3what people were saying.
Very soon my mother noticed something was4me. The pain and care I saw in her
moon?shaped eyes made me burst into tears. I explained to her the5I had of going to school. “Learning English is not6,” my mother said. She cheerfully7the two of us work together to learn the language at home. The8and determination my mother had were admirable because English was as9to her as it was to me.
That afternoon,I saw my mother in a different light as she10me by the school
fence. She was the shortest of all the mothers there, 30 , her face with her welcoming smile and big,black eyes was the most11. The afternoon sun shone12on her long,black hair creating an atmosphere that made her different from others.
My mother and I immediately began reading together and13five new words a
day. My mother,with her encouraging attitude,made the routine (惯例) fun and interesting. The fact that she was sacrificing (牺牲) her14time before going to work so that I could learn English made me see the15she owned. Very soon I began to understand what everyone was saying.

“When a customer enters my store, forget me. He is King, ’’said John Wanamaker, who in l876 turned an abandoned railway station in Philadelphia into one of me world’s first department stores. This revolutionary concept,1the face of retailing (零售业) and led to the development of advertising and marketing as we know it today.

But convincing as that slogan was,2the shopper was cheated out of the crown. Although manufacturing efficiency increased the variety of goods and lowered prices, people still relied on3to get most information about products. Through much of the past century, ads spoke to an audience restricted to just a few radio or television channels or a4number of publications. Now media choice, has5too, and consumers select what they want from a far greater variety of sources—especially with a few clicks of a computer mouse.6the internet, the consumer is finally seizing power.
As our survey shows,7has great implications for companies, because it is changing the way the world shops. Many firms already claim to be “customer-driven” or “consumer-centered”. Now their8will be tested as never before. Taking advantage of shoppers’9will no longer be possible: people will know—and soon tell others, even those without the internet—that prices in the next town are cheaper or that certain goods are inferior. The internet is working wonders in10standards. Good and honest firms should benefit most.

Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can1swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still2away. A mother who has not3the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.
One explanation is the4of over learning, which can be stated as following:Once we have learned something, additional learning increases the5of time we will remember it.
In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and6ourselves of poems such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but7.
The law of over learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination,though it may result in a(an)8grade, is not a9way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning,10, is usually a good investment toward the future.

We were driving along the village of Simdara. I1to my right and saw an old shelter 20 meters from the side of the road that appeared to be filled with2.
“Would you mind3?” I asked the driver Waris. “I think there is a(n)4.”
Waris laughed. “No, Greg, that’s actually a public toilet,” explained Waris and he kept5.
“But why are there so many kids? What are they doing there? We need to6,” I insisted. The word caught Waris7and he stopped the car.
When we reached the shelter, to my surprise, it was8a toilet—or at least it had been at one time. The roof was gone now, and the four toilet pits (坑) had been9with old boards. There were 25 children between 4 and 5 years old, one10, and a wooden board against the wall.
Though having a tough learning environment, the students are quite11to chat with us about their class and curriculum (课程). After about ten minutes, the teacher12if we might like to see “the rest of the school”. We13and followed her up the hill.
Just over the top of the hill, there was an old tent. It was very14inside because nearly 100 students were packed like sardines (沙丁鱼). These students were a little15, fourth-, and sixth-graders, and all of them were sitting on the ground.16the teacher, they were doing extremely well —17most of them had no books, paper or even pencils.

“Welcome, Mary,” I said. She raised her head and looked into my eyes. The smile on my face1. Dear God, I thought, what2has entered the life of this little girl?

After settling Mary into her new desk and3her, I went to the headmaster. She said, “Sit down and I’114you in. Mary’s mother who loved her very much was shot and killed in her5one night at their house. Mary, screaming, escaped to a neighbor’s. Then the child went into6. She hadn’t cried or7her mother since.”
I returned only to discover that the children were already avoiding this “8” child. “Mary’s been hurt badly, but we can do a lot to help her,” I explained gently. Bless all children. How loving they can be9they understand.
In spite of our10, we seemed to be getting no closer to Mary and even my faith was wearing11. My heart ached so badly, wanting this child to come alive, to be aware of the beauty, the wonder, the fun, and even the12of living.
Spring approaching, children13to make flower baskets for room decoration. During the lunch time, a girl came hurrying to me. “Come to see Mary’s basket,” she said14. “You’11 never believe it!” I15my breath at its beauty, for it couldn’t have been the work from a child that16.
“Mary,” I said. “This is beautiful. How did you ever17?” She looked at me with the shining eyes of any18little girl, saying, “My mother loved flowers.”
Thank you, God, You’ve19us the miracle(奇迹). I knelt and put my arms around the child. Then the tears came, slowly at first, but soon she was20her heart out against my shoulder. The other children had tears in their eyes, too, but theirs—like mine—were tears of joy.

As the assistant of the Honors Programs at the university, one of my2was to review student transcripts(成绩单) to make sure they could3in Honors. It was common for students to have a(n)4start and they could no longer continue in Honors after their first term. However, sometimes their5term report cards would still be sent to us even though the students were no longer in the program.
The note she handed me6, " Congratulations on your excellent second term. You may have been7with your grades, but you should feel8of how you've made some progress. Best of luck in keeping up the good work, and you'11 be able to succeed."
The student went on and said, " You can't know what this9to me. I've carried it in my purse for three years and pulled it out anytime I didn't want to do my10. For three years I've been11to enter your office and giving you this note and this12. " she handed me her latest transcript with good marks.
We were both13. She cried and I14to. Writing the note seemed like nothing to me, but it meant so15to her. I really had no idea that my actions had such meaning.

Believe it or not, there are good reasons for wearing a school uniform. It makes you1proud of your school. It builds a common spirit of unity (整体) among students and2them of the values and history of their school. But for most students, school uniforms are not something to be proud of3.
“Why4the school uniform just one day a week? Always wearing the same clothes makes me feel boring,” a senior student from a high school complained (抱怨). “I don’t like the big English letters of the name of our school on the back,” said a junior student “They could be5.” The main student complaints about school uniforms are: simple colors, boring designs and bad6. And a teacher at a middle school in Guangzhou said that7a teacher and a mother, she eagerly8the quality of school uniforms will be improved soon.
What has caused all these problems? Chen Hong, a uniform designer in Shenzhen, pointed out that problems9because the whole society doesn’t see the10of the school uniform.
“Most designers are11to stick to the same old fashion,12there are no professionals (专业人员)13work for students,” Chen said.
His company14most of the awards in the first national competition for school uniforms last month in Nanning, Guangxi.
“Besides, high quality calls for a high price,” said Chen. “But in some schools, the annual (一年一度) expense for each student’s uniform is only 50 to 60 yuan. How can we produce high quality clothes with so15money?”
Even with these problems, efforts have been made16the situation, according to Zhai Shiliang,17of the School Uniform Administration and Service Center in Beijing. A school clothes competition was held in April in Beijing. Thirty-seven uniforms,18in schools next spring, were selected from 570. “We will offer the samples (样品) for schools to choose,” Zhai said.
“The perfect uniform should remind the students of the school’s honor and cause them to be proud of it19they are,” Chen said. Zhai added, “During the 2008 Olympic Games, the whole world will see the new appearance of our20century young generation with new school uniforms.”
