Peter was the richest in town. He had earned himself a bad name because he was too proud of his money. One day, Peter became blind. Only by doing a cornea transplant surgery（角膜移植手术）could he see again, but there was no donor（捐献者）. Peter had to wait in the hospital sadly. One afternoon, Peter wanted to sit in the sun, so he felt his way for the little square before the hospital. He raised his head to enjoy the sunshine. However, he saw nothing but the whole darkness. Just as Peter felt hopeless, someone hit him hard all of a sudden. That angered Peter, so he shouted loudly, “Don’t you have eyes Don’t you see who you hit! I’m Peter!”The answer was from a little boy, “I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t notice, please forgive me!” Peter changed his mind and ordered, “I can forgive you, but you must talk with me!”The boy began. “How beautiful! The grass is green, the sky is blue, the flowers are coming out everywhere, and the little trees are also very lovely. The clouds are floating…” As he was listening, Peter began to envy（嫉妒）that boy. Suddenly, he shouted, “Oh, my God, the little boy is so poor, nothing but a pair of eyes! Why do you give him light ” “You are wrong!” came the voice of a lady, “My son is too poor to have eyes. What he just described is what I told him!” Peter sat on the square silently, tears coming up in his eyes. Since then, the city charity（慈善机构）would receive a great deal of money every year from the richest person, Peter.（2022 A)

A man in black clothes jumps high into the air. Sometimes, he carries a red fan（扇子）. Sometimes, he spreads his arms like wings. When he lands, the crowd cheers loudly. His dance is eye-catching, and many people watch. He is Chinese dancer Ma Jiaolong. Since 2020, he’s made short videos of himself dancing in London. He has performed at the city’s parks and landmarks like Tower Bridge. The 35-year-old has nearly 5 million followers on Douyin. Classical Chinese dance mixes martial（武侠）arts movements with those of traditional Chinese opera. Ma was interested in the movements of classical Chinese dance and started to learn it at 12. Later, Ma studied at the Beijing Dance Academy. Since 2019, he has been teaching classical Chinese dance at Goldsmiths, University of London. Two years ago, Ma had to give online classes due to COVID-19. In his small home, he could only make small moves. One day, he took his wife’s suggestion and danced at Greenwich Park, a popular place for tourists. She took videos of Ma. He then edited（剪辑）the video, added music and sent it to friends, who loved it and inspired him to share it online. From then on, Ma made more short videos. As his videos went popular, he received messages from people around the world. “Now, making and sharing short videos has become a part of my life, and, most importantly, a great way to introduce traditional Chinese dance to more people, especially those in foreign countries,” said Ma.(2022 B)

In a small village,there was a middle-aged postman, who just turned 20 years old and started delivering (投递) all kinds of happy or sad stories to each home day after day for 50 kilometers. 20 years flew by, and so many changes took place, but the road from the post office to the village always hadn’t had any trees and nothing but the flying dust (尘土) could be seen. “How long shall I go along this lonely road ” As soon as he thought he must spend his life riding the bike on the dusty road with no flowers or trees, he felt somewhat sorry. One day, when he finished delivering the letters and was ready to return, he happened to pass by a flower shop.“Right, that’s it!” He walked into the shop, bought a handful of wild flower seeds (种子), and from the next day on put these seeds along the roadside. Thus, after one day, two days, one month, two months... he always kept putting the wild flower seeds along the roadside. Before long, on the lonely road, where he had come and gone for 20 years, grew up a lot of little flowers, in all seasons endlessly. For the villages, the flowers were more enjoyable than any mail the postman delivered in all his life. On the road without dust but full of petals (花瓣), the postman rode his bike, losing himself in the sweet smell and not feeling lonely and anxious any more.（2021 B）

In a small village,there was a middle-aged postman, who just turned 20 years old and started delivering (投递) all kinds of happy or sad stories to each home day after day for 50 kilometers. 20 years flew by, and so many changes took place, but the road from the post office to the village always hadn’t had any trees and nothing but the flying dust (尘土) could be seen. “How long shall I go along this lonely road ” As soon as he thought he must spend his life riding the bike on the dusty road with no flowers or trees, he felt somewhat sorry. One day, when he finished delivering the letters and was ready to return, he happened to pass by a flower shop.“Right, that’s it!” He walked into the shop, bought a handful of wild flower seeds (种子), and from the next day on put these seeds along the roadside. Thus, after one day, two days, one month, two months... he always kept putting the wild flower seeds along the roadside. Before long, on the lonely road, where he had come and gone for 20 years, grew up a lot of little flowers, in all seasons endlessly. For the villages, the flowers were more enjoyable than any mail the postman delivered in all his life. On the road without dust but full of petals (花瓣), the postman rode his bike, losing himself in the sweet smell and not feeling lonely and anxious any more.

After opening a free online Harry Potter center in April, British writer J. K. Rowling brings even more good news. In May, Rowling started writing a new story called The Ickabog, which was free to read online to help amuse people who stayed at home because of COVID-19.The new story centers around a monster (怪物) known as the Ickabog, a fierce child-eating monster who lives in the northern tip of an imaginary land known as Cornucopia and has super powers. Though the book is written for children, it is also fascinating to adults. It talks about many things, such as weak leadership, and suppression (镇压) of disagreement. “The Ickabog is a story about truth and the abuse (滥用) of power,” Rowling wrote on the website. “The themes are timeless and could be used in any area or any country.” Rowling put the first two chapters online on May 26, with daily writing to follow until July 10. She is also planning to publish (出版) the book in print later this year and then give away the money from its sales to projects and organizations helping the groups most influenced by COVID-19.

Boyan Slat has been dreaming of cleaning up the world’s oceans for a long time.In 2010, he went on a diving (潜水) vacation in Greece and was shocked. “I saw more plastic bags than fish in the water,” he said. From then on, Slat began to pay more attention to ocean pollution. He decided to give up higher education and set up the Ocean Cleanup, a non-government organization. Its purpose is to clean up ocean rubbish. He has set up the world’s first ocean cleanup system (系统) with his team. Every year,over 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans, and it can take up to 500 years to break down. In 2018, the World Economic Forum predicted that the weight of ocean plastic would match that of all the fish in our oceans by 2050. Sea animals easily get caught in plastic. They can’t move. They can even die if they eat it. Smaller plastic pieces can also enter the food chain (链) and end up in our bodies. Slat’s plan was to create an environmentally-friendly, large system to clear out plastic rubbish from the ocean. After seven years of tests, on October 2nd, 2019, a machine called System 001/B came out. It successfully caught and collected a large amount of plastic rubbish floating in the ocean. Slat and his team are working to improve System 001/B. Their dream is to clear out 90 percent of all the ocean plastic by 2040.(2021 D)

In some parts of Holland the land lies so low that the people have to build great walls of sand and earth,to keep out the sea. These walls are called dykes(堤坝). Sometimes the water from the sea break down these walls,and then the sea rushes in through the beach, and spreads over the land. Houses and trees,cows and sheep,have been thus washed away,and many people drowned（溺水）． Once, when a little boy was going home in the evening,he saw a hole in one of the dykes, through which the water was flowing（流出）. His father had often told him that when this happened, unless the water was stopped it would soon make the hole so big that the sea would flow over the land. At first he thought he would run home and tell his father. But then he said to himself," It may be dark before father can come, and we shall not be able to find the hole again. Or it may get so large that it will be too late to stop it.I must stay now, and do the best I can alone. The brave little boy sat down,and put his hand in the hole,to keep back the water.There he stayed,hour after hour, in the cold and the dark, all through the night! In the morning, a man came past and saw him.He could not think what the boy there.So he called out to him,"What are you doing there, my boy？" "There is a hole in the dyke," said the boy," and I am keeping back the water." Poor little boy! He was so cold and tired that he could hardly speak. The man came quickly and set him free.He got the hole closed up. and thus the land was saved--thanks to the brave little Hollander!(2020 A)

Boyan Slat has been dreaming of cleaning up the world’s oceans for a long time.
In 2010, he went on a diving (潜水) vacation in Greece and was shocked. “I saw more plastic bags than fish in the water,” he said.
From then on, Slat began to pay more attention to ocean pollution. He decided to give up higher education and set up the Ocean Cleanup, a non-government organization. Its purpose is to clean up ocean rubbish. He has set up the world’s first ocean cleanup system (系统) with his team.
Every year,over 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans, and it can take up to 500 years to break down. In 2018, the World Economic Forum predicted that the weight of ocean plastic would match that of all the fish in our oceans by 2050. Sea animals easily get caught in plastic. They can’t move. They can even die if they eat it. Smaller plastic pieces can also enter the food chain (链) and end up in our bodies.
Slat’s plan was to create an environmentally-friendly, large system to clear out plastic rubbish from the ocean.
After seven years of tests, on October 2nd, 2019, a machine called System 001/B came out. It successfully caught and collected a large amount of plastic rubbish floating in the ocean.
Slat and his team are working to improve System 001/B. Their dream is to clear out 90 percent of all the ocean plastic by 2040.
