It was only October, but my students were already talking about Christmas plans. As each day passed, everyone became more excited waiting for the final school bell. As soon as everyone heard the , they would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David.
David was a small boy in old clothes. I had often what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so improperly for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves, But something made David .I can still remember he was always a smile and willing to help, He always stayed after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He would just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for home.
Weeks passed and the over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness(烦躁)until the last day of before the holiday break. I smiled in relief(安慰)as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around I saw David standing by my desk.
“I have something for you, " he said and pulled from behind his back a small box, Handing it to me, he said anxiously, "Open it." I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my .I saw nothing. I looked at David's smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice, David, but it's .”
"Oh no it isn't, " said David. "It's full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn't see or touch unless you know it's there."
Tears filled my eyes as I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given attention to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning the little empty box set on my desk.

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

American school children can be seen every day sneakers of all colors. They put them on in the morning and take them off at bedtime. Sneakers are washed. Some children think the older and dirtier they are, the loveable they are. When their sneakers wear out, children hate to throw them off. How do you explain the closeness between and sneakers?
