The next morning, a loud sound was heard in the quiet room. The students were very much surprised, and the teacher at once looked around to the person who had made a high sound.
When a boy who was often in bad act, was told he was wrong, he said he hadn’t done it, yet his words were not believed, and he was brought up for punishment. Seeing what was about to take place, Charles, a little boy, got up suddenly from his . “Don’t punish John, air. I made the high sound. I’m very sorry, I didn't mean to whistle.” He held out his hand to be punished. Taking the little boy’s , the teacher said “ Charles, you have done right. I can't punish you after you so nobly.” Even the youngest child in the school felt of Charles, for every child could see how bravely he had acted.

What could a poem writer and a movie director share? More than you think! Langston Hughes began writing poems in high school and soon became one of America’s greatest writers.

He wrote plays and books about justice(正义) for all people, and he wrote kids’ books, too. The Sweet and Sour Animal Book is a book of his animal poems. Pictures and photos were used in the book. “Hold fast to dreams” is a line in a famous Hughes poem. That’s exactly what he did throughout his life.

When he was small, Hill was a famous bad boy.

To Hill's surprise, his stepmother went up to him with a smile, held up his head and looked at him carefully. She then turned around to tell her husband, “You’re wrong. He is not the worst boy in the entire shire, but the cleverest and creative boy. Only he doesn’t find a place to show himself. ”
His stepmother’s words warmed his heart, his eyes full of tears. With this, he started building friendship with his stepmother. And this became the drive of his life, making him create 28 successful golden rules, which helped tens of thousands of ordinary people walk on the road to success.

The strength from his stepmother made him a rich man and famous writer in the United States and one of the most important persons in the 20th century.

Students these days often have a lot of worry. Sometimes they have problems with
their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. How can they deal these problems?
Laura Mills, the teenager from London, says,
“I think talking to someone help a lot. If we talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel
better than we don't.”
Laura once loses her wallet, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents
about it for several days. In the end, she talked to her parents and we were really
understanding. They got her a new wallet and asked her to be most more careful.
“I will always remember share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He thinks the first step is to
find someone you trust to talk to. In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cut it
in half. So you’re halfway to solve a problem just by talking to someone about it.
