He（7） explained， "This kind of orchid is hard to find． Now it is worth at least 10，000 dollars each． "
I told the good news to Richard． He was（8） ． After s while he said gently， he saw the orchid in the yard every year， but he thought it was common grass， so he always plucked it． He said， "I could（9） ， it would flowers a few years before．" Yes， all of us might miss some rare（稀有的） orchids in our own lives． We don't give them the time to lower to prove their value，
Give the "grass" time to lower and give everybody a（10） to prove his value． Don't pluck a leave of any "grass" or negate （否定） a person rudely and how many "are orchids" we will get in our lives!

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 handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just an ‘A’ in this class. Keep believe in .

people. You see, one should always believe in himself.
