5．There was a story many years ago of a school teacher-Mrs．Thompson．She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same．But that was a lie．There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard．He didn't play well with the other children and he always needed a bath．She did not like him．
Then Mrs．Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother．Mrs．Thompson was ashamed of herself．She felt even worse when，like all her other students，Teddy brought her a Christmas present too．It was his mother's perfume（香水）．
Teddy said，"Mrs．Thompson，today you smell just like my Mom used to．"After the children left she cried for at least an hour．On that very day，she stopped teaching reading，writing and math．Instead，she began to teach children．
Mrs．Thomspon paid particular attention to Teddy．The boy's mind seemed to come alive．The more she encouraged him，the faster he improved．By the end of the sixth grade，Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class．
Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy．He wrote that he had finished high school，third in his class，and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life．He went to college．Mrs．Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed，Theodore F．Stoddard，M．D．（医学博士）．
The story doesn't end there．On his wedding day，Dr．Stoddard whispered in Mrs．Thompson's ear，"Thank you，Mrs．Thompson，for believing in me．You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference．"
Mrs．Thomspon，with tears in her eyes，whispered back，"Teddy，you have it all wrong．You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference．I didn't know how to teach until I met you．"

4．One day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer．This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem-inability to read．
In the library，I found my way into the"Children's Room"．I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random．The cover of a book caught my eye．It presented a picture of a beagle．I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child．He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him．I never forgot my beagle．
There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical（相同的） to my dog．I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover．My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Beagle with a Plan．Unknowingly，I had read the title．Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer．
Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos．I read very，very slowly with difficulty．Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home．That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book．At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together．
My mother's call returned me to the real world．I suddenly realized something：I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book．Everyone knew I could not read．But I had read it．Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them．
I never told my mother about my"miraculous"（奇迹般的） experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year．And years later，she was proud that her son had read thousands of books，was awarded a PhD in literature，and authored his own books，articles，poetry and fiction．The power of the words has held．

3．The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health．Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat，it has，at the same time，made many foods unfit to eat．Some research has shown that perhaps 80% of human illness is related to food and 40% of cancer is related to food as well．That food is related to illness is not a new discovery．In 1945，some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colour in meats and other food additives（添加剂）caused cancer．
Yet，these additives remain in our food，and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings（包装）of foods are helpful or harmful．The additives which we eat are not all so direct．Farmers often give penicillin to their animals，and because of this，penicillin has been found in the milk of cows．Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health，but just to make a profit．
The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market．Although some countries have tried to control such things，the practice continues．

One day King Arthur saw a happy beggar （乞丐） and wondered why the beggar was so happy，because that the king didn't feel happy though she could have whatever he wants．From this we can see that one's happiness doesn't depend whether he is rich nor poor．Happy is just a state of mind．As long as one thinks he's satisfied，he is happy．
There are many different opinion about happiness．To some，happiness is being surround by their family members and friends．To others，happiness means achieving success in something，such as meet a goal．To those who have been injured，happiness can simple mean a day without suffering，or just being alive．

18．When I began planning to move to Auckland to study，my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India，where we lived．She worried particularly about the lack of jobs，the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism．
Despite these worries，I came to New Zealand in July 2009．I have found the place and people very nice and supportive．Soon after I arrived，I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses．Determined to do this on my own，I spent a whole day going from door to door asking for a job．However，I received little or no response．This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks．
One afternoon，I walked into a building to ask if there　were any job opportunities．The people there were very surprised，and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner．
As I was about to leave，a clerk in the building，who had been listening to what the others had said，approached me and asked if I would wait outside．Fifteen minutes later，he returned．He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident．He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job．
I was a little surprised，but had a good feeling about him，so I went along．Along the way，I realized that I had run out of copies of my resume（简历）．The man stopped at his business partner's office to make me 15 extra copies．He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking，and added that I should give him，a call if I ever needed anything．I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied．The following day，I received：call from．store in Royal Oak offering me a job．
It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it．And this time，it was acomplete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing．
