When I saw Ronny for the first time, he looked like other kids in the first﹣grade classroom where I volunteered as a Reading Mom. However, he usually arrived at school wearing old clothes.
On the day when it was Ronny's turn to read. he sat very close to me. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried to speak out "Bud the Sub". It sounded more like "Baw Daw Saw" when he said it because of his difficulty with the alphabet(字母).
The year passed quickly and Ronny had made some progress but he was still below the level of grade. A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an award(颁奖) ceremony. I had gifts and certificates(证书) for everyone. It took me a while to think about which Ronny fit; I believed the gift could cheer him up. I finally decided on "The Most Progressive Reader". I showed his certificate and a book.
A few days later, I saw Ronny reading the book when I went back to the school. His teacher said, "He hasn't put that book down. That's the first book he's ever owned."
Fighting back tears(眼泪) I came near Ronny and asked, "Will you read me your book, Ronny?" He nodded.
And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more smoothly than I'd ever thought. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said, "Good book."

Mr. and Mrs. Kuroki live in a large flower garden. The garden has turned into a tourist attraction (旅游胜地) recently. Around 7,000 visitors come here each year, not only for the beautiful scenery (景色), but also for the special story behind the two old farmers.
In 1956, the newly married couple first moved into the house. The house would be their home for the rest of their lives. They had two children and lived happily for years. However, as years passed, Mrs. Kuroki's health began to decline. Her vision (视力) problems were so serious that she became blind in the end. She hid herself in her home for a long time, refusing to leave unless it was necessary.
Mr. Kuroki got an idea. He wanted to give her gifts﹣flowers. So he got to work on his big surprise. Mr. Kuroki took advantage of the hills around their house and he began to plant a kind of flower with strong fragrance (芳香). He wanted to see if the fragrance would make her come outside.
