Have you ever noticed how the way you feel about yourself sometimes depends on whether or not you get

confirmation of your value from others?

I have

1

a lot about nurturing a positive identity of love and appreciation from the man who taught me to

train dogs.

First, he started out by

2

his dogs with love and respect, and by showing them an infinite amount of

3

as they were learning.

Then, the

4

thing he did was a true stroke of genius. He would cut a small piece of

5

for each dog. He

would place it in the dog's sleeping area, for him to

6

each night. He would also take this carpet during the

7

and set it down in various locations, and sit the dog on the carpet, as he

8

the dog for being good.

Next, Frank would teach the dog to

9

the carpet himself, and carry it to

10

they were going. The dog

would then set the carpet down when they

11

, with Frank all of the time praising him. Now Frank said,

dog begins to feel that he truly

12

in every place he travels to, and no matter where he goes, he

13

my love

and appreciation.

14

so brilliantly with dogs, would it not

work just

things

keep

her

“Oh,

she

said

wanted to be kind.

And after we went

9

and I got her ready for and into bed, she told me to come

10

and we kissed

and hugged real tight

11

we did for the first time.

It wasn’t the firs

t time though and sooner or later there

would be a

12

time.

For now, I feel the blessing of the

on discarded(

month,

1,900?mile journey from Paris to Warsaw is Dubanchet’s

4

of raising awareness of food waste in Europe

and throughout the world.

As you can imagine, the trip is no piece of restaurants

5

tons of food each year, much of it

remains inaccessible because of

6

garbage containers, health regulations, or business about

one in ten places offered him food that would otherwise be legal

7

, most restaurants have a

policy against

8

food waste.“Some people have even

9

their jobs by giving

me food,

” Dubanchet

said.

What’s

10

interesting is the attitude various cities have t

oward Dubanchet’s has been the

easiest while the most difficult was the Czech town of , he had to

11

at some 10 different stores

or restaurants before finding challenge is all the more serious when you consider the

12

exercise

required to bike from France to Poland.

“I have to get food

13

because after all the biking I am tired and I need the

” Dubanchet

explained.“Is my stomach full or empty? That is the most important thing

not what I am eating.”

When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight A student, I believed I could

1

tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I

was extremely interested in the ideas he

2

in class.

When I took the first exam of my best subject English, I was

3

to find a 77, C plus, on my test paper. I

went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained

4

. I decided to try harder, and I read

the books more carefully, but got another 77 again. I

5

with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but

wouldn’t change his

6

.

One more test before the final exam. One more chance to improve my grade. So I redoubled my effort and,

for the first time

7

the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my effort did no good and everything

8

as before.

The last hurdle(

障碍

) was the final. No matter what

9

I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C pluses. I

might as well kiss the

10

goodbye.

I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I

even

11

myself to a movie. The next day I dec

ided for once I’d have

12

with a test. A Week later,

I was surprised to find I got an A.

I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He

13

to be expecting me, “ If I

gave you the As you

14

, you wouldn’t continue to work hard.”

I stared at him

15

that his analysis and strategy(

策略

) were correct.

I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A plus. The next year I received my scholarship. I always

remembered professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.

The story I’m going to tell you happened two years a

go when I was in high school in Poland. I came to

school early on a sunny day,

1

I felt that there was something wrong. Students from my class were

behaving

2

.

I noticed that Tom was absent from school that day. Later, I

3

what happened. Tom had got sick and

he had lung cancer, a very serious disease. It was

4

for my friends and me. I couldn’t believe that this had

happened to him. He was so

5

and he was good at sports.

6

he had lung cancer, so he had to have an operation. It was successful. After that, he returned to

4

school and felt very good. Twice a month he went back to the

7

for medical examinations just to make

sure that everything was going well.

One day, the doctors noticed that the cancer had

8

to his brain. When I heard this

9

, I felt

like bursting into tears, “God, why do you do this, it is not

10

.”

A lot of my friends

11

their faith and hope, and they even thought that there was no

12

for

him to live, but he was strong. Tom wa

s eager to live, and he said: “No way, I’m not going to

13

. I will

fight!”

The doctors made another operation on his brain. The operation

14

well and now he feels great and

everything is fine. From Tom’s

Yo

u just can’t imagine what a brave mother is like. She was a mother of three, who just

1

an earthquake,

couldn’t tell if her children were

2

for help. Or what if you knew you couldn’t yell at her for help because she

couldn’t

3

you? That was what happened to Connie and her three children

4

the 6.1-magnitude

earthquake rocked Napa, California. Connie is

5

and communicates with her children using sign language.

At midnight, Connie and her three children were

6

on the first floor of their two-story home. She and

her 16-year-old son, Juan, were shaken awake. Instantly, they realized there were no disaster supplies downstairs.

Connie, also

7

one-month-old Raul and 8-year-old Adriana, called Juan to come close to her in the darkness

and

8

for him to go upstairs to get a

Juan slowly

the stairs. He heard a loud creak (

but

11

to get what he needed. Using the flashlight to guide his steps back

12

the stairs, the family was

able to take a few items from the first floor and

13

. Their home was almost in ruins.

“Thank you for not running me over

,

”I said as I lay bruised(

撞伤的

)and bloodied in the intersection with my

bike on top of me. The man looking down at me had just

1

me with his car and I was thanking him for not

running me over. In reality, I was thanking him for not

2 my goal of proving my confidence. I was planning a

bike trip in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. I was both terrified and

3

at the challenge.

Biking in the Rockies wasn’t the

4

middle-aged mom trip, but I had to prove that I was more than just a

middle-aged

woman.

had

a

great

life,

5

something

was

missing.

I

needed

to

6

for

more.

When

a

friend

mentioned going on a bike trip together, I

7

signed up.

I thanked the man again for stopping. I was

8

of how dangerous it was. All my

9

was that I was still

able to bike the Rockies.

The man said he’d

pay for the bike

10 , giving me his name and phone number.

Three weeks later, I rode my bike in the Rockies. The speed was exciting. I knew what it feels like to

11

a

bike.

I’d done it and

12 . The man who hit me had

13

me. He released me from my

14

of falling.

I was

15

and independent as I sped down the mountain roads, no longer depressed.

The movie, Alita

—

Battle Angel, tells a story of a girl with robotic arms and fighting powers. And in

1

life 13

—

year

< p>
—

old Tilly Lockey also has the most advanced robotic arms like Alita.

Tilly lost her arms

2

a rare disease when she was a

baby. As she grew, her mother tried to get her to

3

various prosthetic(

假肢

). At the age of three, she got her first

4

arms, which moved the fingers by

picking up

5

from nerves(

神经

) in the skin. But these only

6

Tilly to move her fingers one at a time.

Tilly recalls: “They were really heavy”. In the end she

7

wearing them and learned to do things without

arms.

the use! Tilly’s new arms came

10

for a decade but these Hero Arms cost less. They are also lighter and more

11

than any that have come before. Moreover, these new versions are

proudly machine like.

Tilly is pleased with her new-found skills. She has been

13

exactly what she can do now with her Hero

Arms. She says: “When I go into school now, I don’t have a

14

. I feel I have something that looks super cool.”

Give your shoes a shine

,

sir

?

”

At a street corner a woman was repeating hawking to the people moving into

and out of McDonald

’

s

.

A middle

-

aged man sat down having her shining his

1

.

He saw a little girl standing

beside

her

,

looking

eagerly at the

2

behind him

.

He took a French chicken leg out of the shopping bag and handed it to her

.

The

girl

3

off and hid herself behind the woman

,

leaving only her

4

exposed

,

staring at his

hand.

“

Thank

you for your kindness

but I

her one

after finishing my work

”

said the woman

.

“

But this is just for kids

”

said the man

.

“

I

”

At the man

’

s insistence

,

the woman let the girl

6

it

.

She put a brilliant shine on the

shoes

.

Greatly

7

,

the man paid her and was about to

8

when suddenly the girl said

,

,

I know

.

The man seemed to be a little taken back

,

and then patted the girl on the head

:

﹣

ha

,

merry

9

to you

,

my little girl

.

The girl lifted the chicken leg to the woman's

10

and the woman gave it a

It happened on a rainy Saturday morning last month. My wife Catherine and I were driving along what some

t

people called moose (

麋鹿

) alley. It was so _1__ that there were few cars on the road. __2__, something happened.

t

A moose jumped out across our path. I had been driving for years and was good at driving. In order to __3__

l

knocking into the moose, I made a quick turn to the other lane. If I had not done that, the moose might have been

e

killed, and my wife and I might have got __4__, too. A few seconds later, when I __5__ and looked back in my

rear view mirror, the moose was getting up and then ran into the bush. Shaken but __6__, we both looked at each

d

other with a surprised expression.

From

then

on,

I

often

thought

about

the

relationship

between

humans

and

We

know

that

animal

species

have

appeared and disappeared

__8__

since

life

began

on

the

Earth.

This is

a(n)

__9__

phenomenon .

However, animal species have been __10__ at a much faster rate for about a century now _11__ human factors

such as pollution.

Certain philosophers and scientists keep repeating that if we don't save animals, how we will be able to save

ourselves. A better __12__ of animals gives us a better understanding of our own species. The __13__ to protect

animals and nature in general __14__ the value of a society. And all animals play roles in nature and have a right

to __15__. Therefore, I think we should try our best to save endangered animals, because humans cannot live on

the Earth alone.

My name is Miranda Gibson. I have been at the top of a tree for five months now. Some people might

wonder

1

on earth I would choose to do that.

I have walked through this forest many times. On 12 December 2011,

2

rolled into the forest and the

destruction(

摧毁

) began. I

couldn’t

3

the thought that these forests would be

4

forever. So, on 14

December 2011, I packed up my life,

5

of my job plans, and climbed 60 meters to the top of this tree. I have

been here ever since.

Life in the tree tops can be

6

at times. I have times when I feel frustrated(

沮丧

) and wish I could

7

, to anywhere, just have a

8

of scenery for a minute

！

There are times too, when I feel terribly

9

. I miss my friends and family.

10

these times, I find myself loving the

11

.

Living on the tree has been inspiring. I am willing to

12

up here for as long as it takes,

13

I

honestly hope it won’t be too

14

before I can put my feet on the ground below and stand in a forest that

will never be

The Adams family home has been taken over by origami (

折纸

)in all sizes and shapes. No one seems to

1

though. Those paper creations are

2

clean water projects around the world and saving lives. A

messy home is a small price to pay

3

In 2011, Isabelle Adams and her sister Katherine learned that every five seconds a child died from

4

of clea

n water and that girls of their age couldn’t go to school

5

they were fetching water all day for their

families. They

6

to do something.

“So we took something that we loved doing

- folding origami, with the

7

goal to help fund a well in

E

thiopia,” explains Katherine.

8

, they ended up selling out and raising far more than that to fully

9

the cost of the well.

Katherine, now 13, adds, “It just snowballed,

10

the founding of the project Paper for Water.” In

eight years, this project has

11

more than 2 million for over 200 water projects in 20 different countries.

Now, the rest of the Adams family are also

12

. But at the heart of it, beneath countless paper

decorations sit two bold sisters hoping to

13

other

girls and boys. “Kids have an incredible ability to

make a real

14

to the world if they’re just given the chance,” Isabelle says, “and if people

15

them in their efforts.”

I met Daisy Banks on the way to Maghar. She was walking down the road with her white stick, and I saw

her walking into a muddy

1

. If she continued, she might have

2

into the water. Not wanting this to

happen, I stopped my

3

and called out, “There’s a hole in front of you, Daisy. If it’s all right with you, I’ll

4

you to your place.”

She happily

5

. I took her bag so she could climb on my motorbike. We talked about her

6

, and

I discovered she was on the way to her school.

Daisy had called me a couple of times since our chance

7

. However, I had been unable to meet her

8

my busy schedules. Finally,

9

at the Mahdu Mall, she said. We talked about a range of issues, and I

came to

10

that Daisy possessed knowledge which would challenge that of many

11

fit people.

Although she has a mother and three brothers, Daisy has been

12

on her own for the past years. She

cooks for herself and washes her own clothes while

13

to teach every morning at Maghar’s Primary School.

While doing her

14

, she tries to remember people, places, and things in order to manage her daily life. She

is a(an)

15

person, telling me that she made the decision to live alone after her brothers said they would take

turns to look after her each month. Daisy felt this would hurt her. I really admire her confidence and the way she

carried herself in her life.

Have you ever imagined your future? I try to do this all the time. Most of us will follow in our

1

footsteps, by this I mean our adult lives will closely resemble the lives we live as children, set by our parents'

examples. Have you ever

2

and thought about this? What an awful job it must be to raise a child properly!

But, what happens to the children that live

3

drugs, alcohol and violence in their childhood? Where can

they find good examples for themselves

？

I know of one place that is trying to

4

all children. It is the McDowell County D.A.R.E program in

McDowell County North Carolina. Our teachers carry on their shoulders the great

5

of teaching kids to just

say NO to drugs, alcohol and violence. I am personally acquainted with all of these things, not because I have ever

6

them myself, but because of my dad. He drank,

7 drugs and smoked pot

（抽大麻）

. When I was 7 my

mom took me and my sister and

8

. I wonder if my dad ever thought about the

9

and what this bad

decision would lead to when he first started experimenting with drugs and pot at 13. He has been in jail, he can't

get a decent job, and he lost his

10

. These bad choices also caused him to hurt his children in horrible

ways.

I am

11

that I have at least one parent to help me make wise decisions, and to teach me right from

wrong. I am also grateful that the D.A.R.E program is taught in our schools. One of the most

12

things I

learned from D.A.R.E is that a person that has a parent with an addiction problem is more than twice as likely to

become addicted themselves, as compared to a person that has no family history of drug

13

. I have learned

many things through this

14

, especially about the consequences of our trying drugs. You could get arrested,

hurt yourself or someone else, destroy your life by becoming an addict, or even die. All of these things are terrible,

but I can't think of anything

15

as a parent than hurting our children and the people that love us. DRUGS

DESTROY LIVES! I give the D.A.R.E program two thumbs up, for all the good things being accomplished.

The Glover kids in Newburgh, New York, want to make a little extra money themselves before school opens.

A Colorado pair brings new meaning to the word “determination”. When one couldn’t walk and the other

couldn’t see, they

___1___ up to share their love of the great outdoors.

Melanie Knecht has to use a wheelchair to get around due to born spina bifida (

脊柱裂

). Trevor Hahn only

recently became blind after he ___2___ an eye disease five years ago. Both living in Fort Collins, Colorado, the two

met at an adaptive boxing class

—

and they soon ran into each other again at an adaptive rock-climbing class.

They immediately ___3___

over Knecht’s lifelong hobby of camping and Hahn’s pa

ssion for outdoor sports.

When she told him about her recent trip to Easter Island, where she got the ___4___ to be carried on another

person’s back, an unusual idea occurred to her.

___5___

his lost sight, he’d been able to scale a Himalayan peak, using p

oles and ___6___ directions from his

companions.

They started small, but next month

—

with her vision and his ___7___

—

they will trek to the top of a

14,000-foot mountain.

“It just seemed like common sense. He’s the legs, I’m the eyes!

___8___

, we’re the dream team.” said Knecht.

At the start of each hike, a friend lifts Knecht ___9___

a carrier on Hahn’s back. From that point on, she gives

him oral directions to lead the way.

Hahn said, “It made me so happy to help someone experience what I’ve been able to

experience my whole life.

The best part is being able to make her smile

—

that gives me ___10___

.”

In addition to this sense of purpose, the two share an understanding of how ___11___ it can be asking

able-bodied or sighted people for assistance in everyday life. They get immeasurable ___12___ from being able to

do this on their own.

While the two accept that others ___13___

what they’ve been able to do, they’re not looking for

___14___

—

they just want others to encourage solutions for their friends with d

isabilities. Don’t

___15___ them because you

think they won’t be able to do something.

Coffee shops are cool, but in Wilmington,

Bitty & Beau’s Coffee enjoys a good reputation for its warmth.

At the heart of the shop’s popularity is its

___1___ staff:Almost everyone has an intellectual(

智力的

)or

1

2

developmental disability.

The coffee shop was opened in 2016 by Amy Wright and her husband, ___2___ by two of her four children

Beau and Bitty, who have Down syndrome(

唐氏症

).

When the couple discovered that most people with intellectual and developmental disabilities could never find

an employer who would even give them a(n) ___3___ ,

they resolved’to do something about it.

“It

___4___ me like a flash of lightning:

a coffee shop!”Wright said. “It would be the perfect e

nvironment for

bringing people together. Seeing the staff ___5___ customers at the door, preparing food, serving orders and

cleaning tables, people would realize how ___6___

they are. ”

When the shop opened, it immediately had ___7___ out the door. National press attention ___8___, and six

months later, it had to move to a ___9___ space.

Today, the store employs 40 people with disabilities, who are really good at their jobs.

What makes Amy most proud is the ___10___

it has built in the community. “Every d

ay, people say,

‘You’ve

made my day. Thank you. ’That’s a feeling of happiness most people don’t get elsewhere

, and it's what ___11___

people back here,

”she said. “This is a place where people can

___12___ with those with disabilities and realize how

much

more alike we are than different. It’s

___13___ a cup of coffee. It's a human rights movement. It's given our

employees the respect and a sense of being ___14___ that they deserve. For many employees, it's their first job, and

their ___15___ fills the air
