Once a small boy lived on the farm which seemed so far away from everywhere. He needed to get up sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm. During sunrise he would and climb up on the fence(篱笆) along the side of the farm. He could see a house with golden windows. “ If they could golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house.” He how great it would be to live there. Then he himself, “ Some day I will go there and see this wonderful place.”
One morning his father would go to town told him to stay at home for a rest. Knowing that this was his , he took a sandwich and headed across the field the house with the golden windows.
As the afternoon went on, he began to realize how he was. The house was much farther than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw golden windows but instead a place in bad of painting. A small girl very close to his came out of the poor house and stood by the broken fence. He asked her she had seen the house with the golden windows. The girl said,” Sure, I know,” and invited him to sit on the porch(门廊). As he sat there, he looked back from he just came. There he saw the turned the windows of his house to gold! Now he understood that everyone had his own house with golden windows.

A wise teacher told each of her students to bring a plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school.
She told her students: “From today on, for every person you don’t in your lives, you can choose a potato, write the person’s and the date on it and then put it in the plastic bag.”
Day after day, some of the students’ bags were very . They were then told to carry this bag with them they went for a week. The days carrying the bag around with them make students get to know a weight they were carrying in their minds. They had to pay attention to it all the time so that they wouldn’t it.

“Another bad day at school?” my father asked as I came into the room.
“How could you ? I didn’t shut the door heavily or anything,” I replied. Over the past two months I had either done this or thrown my backpack the room every time I came home from school. Papa thinks it has something to do with moving to a new house.
“I know this move has been hard on you. Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough,” Papa said, as he put his arm around my shoulder. “ you must remember is that, with a lot of hard work and some time, you will make new friends.”
“You don’t know how hard it is. This year my baseball team would have won the championship. They won’t even give me a to pitch (投球) here. All I get to play is right field, and that’s the worst!”
Papa turned toward me. “Things will get , I promise you. Let me ask you, do you know why you were named David Lorenzo?”
“Yes, your name is David and grandfather’s name is Lorenzo.”
“Very good, and what makes your grandfather so ?”
“He was the first in the family to come to this country and all that,” I answered.
“That is only correct. Your grandfather was a very great man. In Mexico, he had been a teacher. When he came to America he could only get low-paid labor jobs because he didn’t speak the language. It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here, but he did it. He never complained because he knew could be difficult. Did he ever tell you that?” my father asked.
I looked down at my feet, ashamed at my behavior. “No. That must have been hard,” I said sheepishly（腼腆的）.
“Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent, they will you for who you are. I want you to always remember what my father taught me, even if it a few years for people to see who you are,” said Papa.
All I could say was, “Okay.” Then I asked, “What should I do now?”
Laughing, Papa said, “How about you pitch a few to me? You need some work.”

The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often laughed at her. She would open a , pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted (收养 ) by a family, and they thought that the best way for her to American ways of life is to be with American kids. I looked at this small girl and promised myself that I must help her.
But how could I help her fit in with us? There had to be a way.
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had opened her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a perfect .
I was surprised and thought that she could do in the coming talent show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had drawn. “Why, it’s ,” said Miss Parker, and then showed us a poster she had painted for the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough time. Could you help me, Suzy?
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
“And ,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “We have a special award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students painted them.”
I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could that well?”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “Since this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a prize, too. Our mystery (神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.
I realized, at that time when I was looking at her face, she’d probably never owned anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to clap their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right. ”
