I came to the United States from Africa to live with my uncle Jim in Maryland.One year later，I lost my sight because of a serious illness.
Jim told me not to go out.He worried I would get lost or hit by a car.But I was dogged.I told him I'd pay attention.I believed I'd succeed.I must succeed.I must put my will into action.I dreamed of being a broadcaster.
Then a neighbor told me that a public library in Washington D.C.was offering a free course，specially designed for blind people，This was an important chance for me.
But how would I map my way？I knew that the American singer Ray Charles，also blind，got around on his own without a cane （手杖）.His secret was to count steps.But I couldn't seem to do that way.Instead I developed my imagination.sensing the layout （布局）of places I Visited and taking notes of landmarks in my mind.
At first，I would have to stop to imagine and map a new space in my mind，The next time I visited that place，I'd use that to find the way.Today.I am used to doing it，But I've still lost my way many times.I'd have to swallow my pride to ask for help，not thinking what others think or say about me.
Sometimes I'd be down and I'd consider giving up.Perhaps my uncle was right.Maybe I'd stay home and wait until someone came to help.On those days when I lost my way，I'd go to bed with a bad feeling.▲.I had e strong wish 10 bear blindness and be successful，and that was usually enough to get me out of bed the next day and try again.
Along the way I learned to be patient with myself and realized that asking for help didn't diminish （贬低）me in any way，I've got three academic degrees so far.
Today，I'm a reporter and broadcaster.I've achieved my dream.
Yes，I've lost my way many times and found it again.Yes，I've come close to being hit by a car but never bee hit by one.When people ask， "Aren't you afraid to be out alone？" the answer to me is clear；I would face danger and find happiness instead of staying home and being unhappy.

Study in the Library |
Reading is fun． When you read， would you like a paper book or an e﹣book（电子书）？ Some people choose e﹣books， some love paper books， and others prefer reading both．
Li Ming， a university professor（教授）， is busy doing some research． So he is often on business．
When he is at the airport or on the train， he especially loves reading e﹣books． He also likes reading paper books in the library for his research work． Besides， he enjoys the smell of the paper books．
What's more， Li Ming would like to read with his family． There is a reading time from 8： 00 to 9： 00 each Friday evening at home． Everyone reads and shares what they learn from the books． One Friday evening． Grandma took out an old paper book and said to her grandson， "Lei Lei， this is the first book your grandpa gave me． There is his name on the front page． Whenever I read it， I can get something new from his notes． And I can still remember the happy life we lived together．" Li Lei said， "But I enjoy reading e﹣books． E﹣books need no paper． Many forests will be saved．" Grandma advised． "Don't read for a long time， or your eyes will get sore．"
Different people have different ideas about e﹣books and paper books． No one knows whether e﹣books can replace（代替） paper books or not． Somehow， books are our friends． No matter which kind of books you choose to read， you can learn more about the world through them．
（1）Do all the people prefer reading e﹣books？
（2）When is the reading time in Li Ming's family？
（3）What does the old paper book mean to Grandma？
（4）Do you think e﹣books will replace paper books in your life？ Why or why not？
As the saying goes， "Give a man a fish， and you feed him for a day． Teach a man to fish， and you feed him for a lifetime．" This is the way the charity organization Heifer International（国际小母牛慈善组织） wants to end world hunger．
It began in the 1930s when an American farmer， Dan West， went to Spain to help people in need．He tried to feed the people with milk． But it seemed that there would never be enough milk． It made him think that what they needed was "not a cup， but a cow"．
Dan West returned to America． He worked together with some friends to find ways to end hunger． He believed giving animals and providing training would stop world hunger． With his help， Heifer
International was set up．
On Heifer International's website， you will see a list of animals like cows， chickens， pigs and
even fish and bees． You can offer help by buying some animals for one certain family． Those animals will have babies． With more and more animals， these families will be able to support themselves． Once these families get better lives， they will pass on the act of kindness to others． More importantly， you are buying the resources（资源） for programs run by Heifer International to help more families．
The programs also help small﹣sized farms． As a rule， each farmer must give his animal's first female （雌性）baby to another in need． Heifer International also provides training on animals' health and feeding． And these farmers all agree to teach others what they have learned as another rule．
However， there is still a long way to go． The milk may run out． But if families have their own cows， they can get plenty of milk to feed themselves． The organization wants the farmers to go on working together， helping each other and learning from each other． Maybe hunger can really be stopped．

Dear Li Hua，
How's everything going？ Congratulations on your graduation from junior high school!
I hope you have a great time during the holiday， but there is something important for you to think
about﹣a plan for your personal growth． Here is some advice for you．
Firstly， studyyourself． Understand what you like， what you value and what you want to be． In
studying yourself， you check your strengths（长处） and weaknesses． Find out what you need to prepare for your dream job．
Secondly， write down your plan． When writing， you can try using Mind Maps（思维导图）． It is a
good way to help you to think more clearly． And you may find a proper way to work your plan out．
Thirdly， go over your plan with your teachers， parents or friends． They may give you some advice．
Think carefully about their advice and make some changes to your plan if necessary． And then you can go on with it．
Finally， （ 4 ）． For example， if you want to be an English teacher in the future， you should spend more time reading English books， learning more about English culture and practicing your listening and speaking from now on． You can make your dream come true only through hard work．
You may find it difficult to make the plan now． Don't worry． All you need is just a rough（粗略的）
one． Once you enter the senior high school， you'll get a chance to make it better with the help of your teachers． And your personal growth plan may change with your age， your interests and the social development． So take your time and I believe you will grow into an excellent young man．
Best wishes!
Yours，
Li Fang

National Smile Month is the largest and longest mouth health activity in the UK． Starting in 1977， it is celebrating its 42nd birthday from May 14 to June 14 this year．
The British are known for their bad teeth because they have too many sugary（甜的） foods and drinks． It seems that most of them don't often show their feelings． They neither smile nor cry． But this is NOT true． The British like to smile as much as anyone else． They just don't want to show their bad teeth．
Brush your teeth at least twice a day， cut down sugary foods and drinks， and visit the dentist often． With the three messages， the organizers （组织者） hope that a month of smiling will make people all around the UK realize the importance of good teeth and be confident enough to open their mouths to smile．
One interesting activity is for the British to enjoy the fun photos with short stories behind． Seeing the smiling faces and reading the interesting stories， everyone can't help smiling! You're welcome to send yours with big smiles online．
