I’m sure many great people think about how they can make a difference in the world. In f 1 , sometimes little things can make a really big difference. I learned this l 2 one day five years ago with my father, when I was just acting like myself –– a nine-year-old kid.
Papa came home late from work after 9 p.m., and he l 3 even more tired than usual. His eyes were already half-closed. I followed him to his bedroom. Papa stepped up the stairs, slowly lifting his feet one after the other. I was a 4 that I would have to start pushing him. Fortunately, he made it to the bedroom on his own.
Papa sat down on the bed and started removing his shoes and socks.
“How was work ” I asked cheerfully. “Oh, it was OK,” he replied. “It’s just that I’m tired.” “Oh, um…you want me to leave ”
Papa gave me a tired s 5 that made me more comfortable. It made me feel like he wasn’t going to scold（责备）me, as he often did when I made some t 6 .
“No,” he said kindly, “of course I don’t want you to leave.”
I opened my mouth and started a 7 out the Disney movie Lilo & Stitch. Papa always loved it when I did that, and he s 8 laughing loudly. I was happy that I had made my father laugh so much. “Did you like it ” I asked. “Of course I did,” he said. “Did you know that w 9 you make me laugh, you make me feel a lot better ”
I was s 10 that I could really do a thing like that.

For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without h 1 . These deaf people were not able to use a s 2 language.
But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a s 3 language. Using this language, they could s 4 thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language w 5 sound. It was a s 6 language.
How did this sign language w 7 The deaf were taught to make certain movements using their hands, faces, and bodies. These movements stood for things and ideas. People might move their forefingers across their lips. This meant, “You are not telling the truth.” They might tap their chins with three fingers. This meant “my uncle.”
The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet（字母表）They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a s 8 of 130 words per minute.
Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were. Today, the deaf are taught to understand others by w 9 their lips（唇）They are also taught how to s 10 .

It was a cold afternoon. I was training a football team for first-graders. It was the day of our f 1 practice.
I seated the kids on a long bench on the grass. Any time I was training a new team, I spent a few minutes getting them to k 2 each other, each kid saying his name and the names of all the kids sitting to the left.
A few minutes later, I decided to put the kids to a test. Alex was chosen to start at the far left end of the bench, go up to each kid, say that kid’s n 3 and then shake his right hand.
Alex was doing well and he went down the row—Dylan, Micah, David, and Beau until he reached Ben. He said Ben’s name and reached out his right hand, but Ben just s 4 there, with his right hand hidden in his jacket.
“Ben, why don’t you let Alex shake your hand ” I asked. Ben stood up, and said, “But I don’t have the h 5 .” He pulled his jacket away from his right shoulder.
Ben’s arm ran from his right shoulder but his arm s 6 at the elbow(胳膊肘). No forearm, no hand, no fingers!
I got shocked(震惊) and couldn’t think of a 7 to say, but the little kids were unwilling to hide their curiosity(好奇心).
“Look at that,” said Alex.
“Hey, what happened to your arm ” another asked.
“Does it hurt ”
Ben took off his jacket to s 8 the kids what they all wanted to see. He explained to them that he had always been that way and that there was nothing s 9 . What he meant was that he wanted to be treated like everybody else.
From that day on, he was j 10 Ben, one of the players on the team.

We all cry for water when we are t 1 . But do you know in very hot, dry weather, plants also
m 2 very low sounds— as if they are crying out for help
You see, in a plant’s stem(茎) there are several hundred “water pipes” that bring water from soil（土壤） all the way up to the l 3 . When the ground turns d 4 , it becomes harder and harder for plants to do this. On very hot days, plants h 5 to get any water that it can.
Scientist Robert Winter has f 6 out that when plants can get no w 7 , their “water pipes” snap(发出断裂声). When that happens, the whole plant vibrates( 振动 ) a little. The snapping pipes make noises ten thousand times quieter t 8 a whisper.
Robert knows that healthy, well-watered plants are quiet. He also knows that many insects prefer attacking dry plants rather than healthy plants. How do the insects know which are h 9 plants and which are not Robert thinks that the insects may h 10 the plants crying and then they may come to kill.

There are many things you can do to improve your memory. A 1 them are many kinds of useful ways as well as taking special care of your health.
It is important that you make yourself e 2 to make your memory more active. You can do this by doing some new activities and by changing your daily habits. Learning a new skill helps your brain（大脑）to d 3 . When trying to r 4 something, you should pay special attention to the most important things about it .Do not allow other thoughts to e 5 your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories. An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with p 6 . Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be h 7 .
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are n 8 for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest. When you are asleep, your brain stores memory. Not enough s 9 can cause problems with storing information .And being tired will also stop you from being able to think clearly and well.
In order to keep your mind on your work, you must be free from worry. Generally keeping fit and normal health checks are b 10 important as well—not just for improving your memory.

There are some people who just can’t make up their minds by t 1 . They often ask the

My brother, Mike, is such a person. He can never decide what to do and always asks for my
i 3 . I try to help him as much as I can. But he never takes my advice. Yesterday I a 4 his question in a different way. “Look, ” he said，showing me a letter. “What do you think I should do ”

“What do you t 7 , Peter ” he asked. “Should I go If I take the job, I’ll have to stay longer. But it will be a wonderful time for me, what should I do ”

Thirty pianos have been placed in different parts of the city i 5 in several parks at a bus stop and on some streets. The pianos have the logo "Play Me, I'm yours" on them. People are i 6 to play music or sing songs with the pianos no matter what level of ability they have. Lots of people have been a 7 to the program and stopped to watch or play the pianos.
“Play Me, I'm yours” is a part of the Sydney Festival. It is a project of the British artist Luck Jerram. He wants to help people in the city connect with each other. He thinks that so many people are sitting in front of computers and busy with their work all hours and they almost have no chance to enjoy music.

The program “Play Me, I'm yours” has also r 8 England and Brazil(巴西)before. It was w 9 welcomed there. But its greatest s 10 seems to come at the Sydney Festival. “It’s a chance for people to be creative, connect with strangers and just have some fun,” Jerram said.
