　　Angela Chang(张韶涵)didn’t know it would be so hard to turn singing into a career(失业)．She went to many different record companies．But she was always turned down for looking too young and small．

　　“I’d never had such difficulties before,”Chang said．But Chang’s talent was finally accepted in 2002．When she got a piece of work, she cried．

　　She soon became a star．Her first album Over the Rainbow sold very well．She won many awards．

　　“You wouldn’t believe such a beautiful voice could come from such a small body,”said one musician after hearing Chang sing．“She has a special voice．You can’t forget it．”

　　But the 25-year-old girl has other talents too．Chang is also an actress．She has played a role in the popular TV plays, My MVP Valentine and At Dolphin Bay．Many people remember her common-girl parts in the plays．But acting is difficult．Chang once acted so badly that she was nearly fired(解雇)．Another time it took her 27 tries to get a scene(一场戏)right．

　　“I cried when I got back home,”Chang said．“But I knew that I wouldn’t always fail．You only fail when you give up．”

　　Now with four albums behind her-Over the Rainbow, Aurora, Pandora and Flower in the Wonderland, it’s clear that Chang and music were made for each other．As she sings in one song,“I have a pair of invisible wings(隐形的翅膀)．They fly me to the skies and give me hope．”

　　Mabel is a cashier(收银员)in a big shop in New York．People can buy medicine, watches, sweets, and many other things．They pay Mabel for the things they buy．

　　At the shop people can also buy lottery tickets(彩票)．They pay one dollar for a lottery ticket．There are pictures on the ticket．Some pictures are winning pictures．Some pictures are losing pictures．Most people win nothing．Some people win two dollars．A few lucky people win thousands of dollars．

　　One day Mabel was working at the shop．She sold three lottery tickets to a woman．The woman looked at the pictures on the tickets．Then she threw the tickets on the counter(柜台)and walked away．“These are losing pictures”, she thought．

　　Mabel picked up the tickets and looked at them．She was surprised．Then she was excited．One ticket was a winning ticket．

　　“Excuse me!”Mabel called to the woman．“You won ＄50000!”

　　The woman came back to the counter．She took the winning ticket and looked at it．“You are right．”she said．“I won ＄50000．”The woman walked away slowly, looking at the ticket again and again．Then she turned around．“Thank you!Thank you very much!”she said to Mabel．

　　Why did Mabel give the woman the ticket?Why didn’t she keep the ticket?Didn’t she want to get ＄50000?

　　“Of course I want the money,”Mabel said．“But it was her ticket．It wasn’t my ticket．”

　　“Well, I am sorry that you are not rich,”her mother said．“But I am happy that you are honest(诚实)．”
