Ma Yun is in his words
There are always many young people who want to learn something from me． In fact， I'm not as lucky as most of you． I tried 3 times for colleges but all failed． For the fourth time， I tried for the teachers' college and they accepted me． I applied（申请） for jobs for 30 times． You can guess the results． It was so difficult at that time． I was down but I didn't give up and fought on． So you can see a new Ma Yun now．
You are lucky enough． You are at the best time of this century． The best wealth you have is that you are young．
Among all the challenges， I think the biggest one is education． Something we teach our kids is too old． So we have to research what is the best way and what are the best things to teach our kids．
The future you face is not a competition for knowledge but a competition for creativity and imagination．
When people have problems， the chance will come． If you can solve them， then the chance will belong to you．

Something caught my eyes when I was walking down the street．Two silver coins were shining in a melting（融化的）snow bank（积雪），so I dug through the snow to look for more．Of course，I just ended up with two cold hands．I slipped the two coins into my pocket and went home，colder but richer．I began to think about how to spend the money．
Two days later，Mary and her little sister Susy were searching the snow banks．"Finders are keepers" was my first thought． I didn't want to hand them out even though Susy was already crying．"I dropped them right here，"she said with tears． Her hands were cold and red for digging in the snow．"Maybe they slid down（滑下）the street with the melting snow． Let's dig over here．"Mary's voice sounded confident．
"They'll never know" was my second thought，and I walked past them．"Peter，have you seen two silver coins？"asked Mary． Susy looked up from digging． Her eyes were hopeful．
"Tell a lie" was my third thought．"As a matter of fact，"I hesitated（犹豫），"I dug two coins out of that snow bank just a few days ago． I wondered who might have lost them．"Susy hugged me with a big smile，"Oh，thank you，thank you．"

Depending on yourself
Growing up is not always easy． When we face difficulties， a spirit of depending on yourself is more useful than crying for help． That's what Hong Zhanhui's story of growing from boy to man with family hardship tells us．
Hong was born in 1982in a poor family in Xihua County （县）， Henan Province． When he was only 11， his father became badly ill and one day he came back with an unwanted baby girl． A year later， Hong's mother left home． She no longer wanted to live such a poor life and face her sick husband． So everything hard fell onto the young boy's shoulders： to take care of his father and the sister Chenchen， and to go on to study．
Although his life was hard， Hong didn't go away from his father and sister． He worked in part﹣time jobs to feed his family． He climbed tall trees to get birds' eggs for his sister． He walked two hours at weekends to the market to buy different things to sell around his school． A few years later， he studied at a college． To take care of Chenchen， he worked hard to rent （租） a room near his college for her， and sent her to school．
After Hong's story went public， he became a hero in people's eyes． But Hong refused offers from others． He said he felt encouraged by kind offers， but he could depend on his own work．
Through his hard life， he has grown up from boy to man．

During one of her many Zoom calls， Katie noticed a girl named Hannah had shut down in the middle of the lesson． "Our class tried talking to her， but there's something wrong with her．" Katie said later． When Hannah left the lesson early， she became worried．
Once class was over， Katie texted Kelley Close， her mom， to check in and found out Hannah "was sad but didn't know why．" On hearing this， Katie asked if she could pay a short visit the next day． Kelley said yes．
"Today her teacher came over and hung out for some time．"Kelley wrote on Facebook．"They chatted，read books，and just talked．Though this woman has five kids at home，she kept social distancing（距离） with my daughter and sat in my driveway for an hour to make sure Hannah was okay．"
For Katie， spending time with Hannah wasn't a waste of time． "Seeing my student upset， I knew I had to show her I care for her，" the teacher explained． "She told me she couldn't understand the math lesson and that she felt bad about that． I just explained the lesson to her again and told her to do more math practice． I showed her 1 understood her feelings and that she wasn't alone．"

（5）What do you think of Katie？ （within 3 words）
Mr. Magicman is a magician． He is famous in his town and he goes to all the children's parties． He does lots of magic tricks． He makes all kinds of animals from balloons． He plays card tricks and， like Harry Peter， he can make things disappear． He tells wonderful stories． Sometimes， he sings and dances for the children． All the children love Mr. Magicman． When children see him in town， they wave（招手） and they shout "Hello" at him． He waves back and sometimes， if he has his hat on， he raises it to greet them．
Today is Saturday，June 26th， 2020． It is sunny．It is Peter's birthday．Peter is ten．At 2 o'clock，all the children， including me， of course， were at Peter's house． We played party games and ate some delicious cakes．We waited for Mr. Magicman．Then Peter's dad came in，saying，"I am terribly sorry．Mr. Magicman has got a very bad headache and he cannot come．"
Hearing this， all the children were upset． Then， we discussed together and made a plan．We made a banner（横幅） and went to Mr. Magician's house with it． Peter also took a cake with him．After we knocked on his door，Mr. Magicman slowly opened his door．Seeing us standing outside the door， he smiled． Then we held up our banner． The banner read， "Get well soon， Mr. Magicman．We all love you．" Then we gave him a cake． Mr. Magicman opened his mouth and he made the cake disappear soon! He is really an excellent magician!
