Once I spoke at a high school. After the speech, the principal asked me to see a special student. An had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.
He was Matthew. he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal weight lifter.
I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. He spoke about and succeeding and seeking（追寻）his dreams.
When we finished talking, I went to my and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about and overcoming obstacles（克服障碍）than I ever would. He looked at it for a while, then took it off and handed it to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”
Last summer I got the news that Matthew had and a letter Matthew had written to me a few days before:
Dear Rick,
My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter. The doctors are to tell me that I don't have long to live any more. But I still smile as much as I can.
I told you that in the future I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I'll . I know I'm a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you.
Thank you for loving me.
Your friend
Matthew

They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their .
Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up. Or repair houses, do their shopping and mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers there is an called Big Brothers. College students and other take these boys to baseball games or on fishing trips and them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or learn crafts.

Do you believe in yourself? When you are in trouble, don’t say you can’t get over it. Believe in your dreams. Believe that you are loved. Believe that you make a difference. I was told a story about a teacher who once did what he could his students get to know the importance of believing in themselves.
The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know how you have worked to prepare for this test,” he said. “And because I know you can do it well, I am willing to offer a B to those who not to take the test.”
Many students thanked the teacher and left. The teacher looked at the students left and said, “Does anyone else want to get a ‘B’? This is your last .” Two more students decided to go.
Only seven students were still in the classroom. The teacher then the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just an ‘A’ in this class. Keep believing in yourselves.
I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could give. Students who are not confident in what they have learned are ‘B’ students .对他们已经所学的东西不是自信的学生最多是B类学生。
The same is in our daily life. The ‘A’ students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have both successes and failures. They have got life’s , not only from normal education, but from events in their lives, and have become better people. You see, one should always believe in himself.A. to make B. make C. making
