A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked: "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?" The man said: "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it." Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind. The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded people they were lucky that they were not blind. There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can. The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way. |

Easter Sunday, which falls on April 4th this year, dates back nearly 2,000 years. It is celebrated by hundreds of millions of people around the world. For my family, it is considered the greatest holiday of the year. Every Easter my brothers and I would wake up early and, like Christmas morning, run downstairs to see what surprises were waiting for us. We were always excited when the Easter Bunny (兔子), who is like Father Christmas, came and left us a basket of candy. It's wonderful. It is like there is a miracle every Easter morning. Our mother, however, would not let us eat the chocolates like we wanted. The chocolate bunnies, and candy eggs would have to wait. Instead, we would have to get dressed in our new clothes. Then my family would go to church. After church we would go to an elder family members' house for a feast (盛会). My mother's family came to the US from Eastern Europe, so we would often eat many traditional dishes. My favorite was ham and a special potato salad. We usually had 20 or more family members at the dinner. After dinner my cousins, brothers and I would go outside. While we were sleeping the night before, our parents had hidden plastic eggs throughout the back yard. We would always have a contest to see who could find the most eggs. The winner would get a prize. It was our annual Easter Egg Hunt. Sometimes, in summer, we would discover an egg we missed on Easter. |

You are made of seventy-three percent water. You have 206 bones. There are more sweat glands (汗腺) in your feet than in any other part of your body. There are about sixty muscles in your face; you use twenty of them to smile but forty to frown (皱眉). Your heart beats over 100,000 times each day. You are really amazing! The human body is a complex machine. From the day we are born our bodies grow and change because of our environment, diet and habits. The body has many different organ (器官) systems and parts that work together to allow us to breathe, move, see, talk, and eat food all at the same time. Most of the time we are unaware (预兆) of what is happening in our bodies; usually it's only when we get sick or feel pain that we notice. Many people do not take enough care of their complex machines. Bad habits like smoking, drinking too much alcohol (酒精), and eating junk food damage our bodies. Stress can also cause health problems. People who worry a lot or have busy jobs often don't get enough sleep, or don't eat properly. We also damage our bodies by playing sports or having accidents. In 1999, Americans made more than 102,000,000 visits to emergency rooms. The two most common reasons were for injure (伤害) and poisoning. ER patients were also treated for many other medical problems-from bad cuts and broken bones to serious illness that needed surgery (外科手术). As with any machine, the better you take care of it, the longer it will last. Of course, the best way to take care of your amazing machine is to eat the right food, do regular exercise, and get enough sleep. Oh, and don't forget to smile! |

Every sport has its great legends: soccer has Pele, basketball has Michael Jordan, and tennis, Steffi Graf. Is there one athlete who people consider to be the best ever? Many would say that person is boxer Muhammad Ali, known to his many fans as "the greatest". Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1942. At the age of twelve, after his bike was stolen, young Ali began boxing; by the time he reached high school, he was a great amateur(业余) boxer. After winning six state and two national boxing championships, he competed in the 1960 Olympic, where he won a gold medal. That same year, at the age of eighteen, he became a professional boxer. From the start of his career it was clear that Ali was different from other athletes. He was outspoken, confident, strong-willed and talked publicly about himself and his beliefs (信仰). The man who called himself "the greatest" still faced many challenges, though. After winning his Olympic gold medal, he returned home to the United States. He was not allowed to stay in certain hotels or eat in certain restaurants because of the color of his skin. Ali was disgusted (反感) with racism in the U.S., so he threw his Olympic medal into a river. In 1964, Ali beat Sonny Liston to become the world heavyweight champion. Ali surprised the world again in 1966, not for his boxing skills, but for his political beliefs. He disagreed with the U.S. war in Vietnam and refused to join the army, which all young men in the U.S. had to do at the same time. As a result, Ali's heavyweight title was taken away, and he was sent to prison for five years. Ali retired (退休) from boxing in 1981, ending a career of sixty-one fights, of which he won fifty-six. In 1996, he was recognized as a sporting hero at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Atlanta. The crowd at the Game cheered as Ali, now suffering from Parkinson's disease, lit the Olympic flame-no longer the strongest, but still the greatest.
