Being a young person is one thing, and being a good young one is _ . A good person should have these qualities(品质): First of all, health. A healthy body is the best riches(财富). ____ it, nothing can be done well. If you are poor in health, you will have to take day after day. Even you can’t work, do sports and so on. Secondly, do something for others. Help those in trouble and the people around you. If everyone did the same, wonderful world it would be! Thirdly, have the ability to work with others. Cooperation(合作) and communication are two important keys to better human relation. Everyone needs friends no one can live through life alone or do everything he wants to.
Besides the examples above, patriotism is the one we should never . Patriotism means love for one’s country. It is one of the highest qualities of human’s. Everyone should love his own country. But people think that patriots(爱国者)must be soldiers or that they live in a time of fighting for their country. This is . A good young person’s work is not only fighting. A good young person will do the things his country asks him to do.
I think a good young person of today should also have some training in art they can live better and enjoy more.

Santa Can Come before Christmas
It was last June. I entered a supermarket to pick some vegetables，when a young man asked me，“Can you tell me where the counter（柜台） is? ”
“Well， the milk is in the lower right corner，” I replied.
Picking up my things，I finally came to the milk counter where I met the same man almost 10 bottles of milk.
I asked，“Do you need a basket or a trolley？”
“Sure，thank you.”he answered.
I was he was still picking more bottles and after a few minutes his trolley had 24 bottles of milk.
I laughed and asked, ”Why so many bottles?”
He smiled and said, ”These are for my street dogs. Today, I want to be a Santa them.”
I said,” Well ,it`s too for you to be a Santa,It is still June and Christmas comes in December.”
He at me and walked a few steps,as if he wanted to say something but he left the counter without saying anything.
,we met again at the bread counter.
“So these bread and cakes are also for the street dogs ,Mr.Santa.”
He smiled and said, ”Yes ,These are also for the dogs and I love to be Mr. Santa in the month of June, Santa is a representation(象征) of surprises and . Santa comes in December as we him around Christmas. But in real life there is a Santa in each one of us that shines through our personality at some point of time ,no matter which month it is. Maybe when you offered help to me by getting me a trolley ,there was a Santa in you ,When we offer food to a poor man or a(n) to someone who is caught in the rain ,we are being Santa there, So when you offer help to others or get help from others, just think that Santa has come all the way for you.”
He left and I was happy that I had met him. It was right to understand that Santa can come before Christmas, We just need to realize that he is around us by happiness and unconditional love.

I had never noticed her. She was not the kind of girl who could draw attention. She was not tall and just looked . In class, she liked sitting at the back, reading or taking notes. One day I asked her to read aloud the text. When I heard her standard American pronunciation, I looked at her with new eyes. And I her name—Kelly. Later on, the National College Speech Competition would be held. One student in our school was allowed to attend. I thought it over and filled in name.
Kelly practiced hard for the competition. However, I was a little worried because she was always too . Could she do well in the competition?
On the night of the competition, I sat in the front row of the hall very early. I told her to take it easy. Her face turned red and she said nothing. It seemed she was really . I felt upset, but I just patted her on the shoulder and let her go to draw lots（抽签）. As a result, she drew No. 9 while No. 8 was a boy who was very good at giving speeches.
Sure enough, No. 8 was very . The whole audience made a warm applause （鼓掌）almost every 30 seconds and was still talking about his speech with until Kelly appeared on the stage. I sat there with no to look at her. It was her first time to go up the stage, so I couldn’t be angry with her for any small mistakes. But at that moment, I found I was so afraid of her .
The strong spotlight and large hall made her so small that nobody seemed to notice she had been on the stage. I felt hopeless.
But the moment that me came. I clearly heard a voice, a very loud voice, “Now, please focus on（聚焦于）me.”
Three times in all, louder and louder.
The whole audience fell silent.
I could believe that loud voice came from the girl, who was usually soft-voiced and didn’t attention at all. She gave a perfect speech.
I think I will never forget this touching lesson that my student taught me — never underestimate（低估）the power of the silent people.
