Anne Holland’s speech
Dear Students
I’m very happy to be your guest speaker today．It is a great pleasure to visit your school and to meet all of you．
I would like to tell you about myself．I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years．I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons．The work is sometimes difficult．I have seen famines(饥荒), wars, earthquakes(地震), poverty and death．But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness．
In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children．Some were as
young as four years old．They lived by begging(乞讨)or stealing．But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them．Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children．She clothed them, fed them and taught them．She gave them hope．
Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake．In one place, I found an old lady whose house was in ruins(成为废墟)．Her son was missing and rescue workers said there was no chance that he was still alive．But the old lady did not give up hope．For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself．She did not stop until she found her son．He was alive．
Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious medical condition．He had undergone twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital．I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming．
In life, we need role models that we can admire(崇拜)and learn from．When my life is difficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people．
1．How long has Anne Holland been a news reporter?
2．What did Rosa do for the children?
3．Was the old lady’s son saved?
4．In which country did Anne Holland give this speech?
5．What lesson do you think Anne Holland learnt from these three people?
Once upon a time, a young man was standing in the middle of the town announcing that he had the most beautiful heart in the world. A large crowd gathered, and they al praised his heart for it was perfect.
Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, “Why ,your heart is not as beautiful as mine.”
The old man’s heart was ful of scars（伤疤）. Some pieces of his heart were removed and some pieces from other people were put in, but they didn’t fit quite right. So there were several jagged（锯齿状的）edges. In fact, there were stil some holes in his heart where the pieces were missing.
The young man laughed,“Comparing yours with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess.”
“Yes,”said the old man. “But, every scar shows that I took out a piece of my heart and gave it to a person, and often he gave me a piece of his heart in return.”
“Why do you have some jagged edges in your heart?”asked the young man.“Because the shapes of the pieces weren’t the same.”“Then the holes?”“Sometimes I gave pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn’t given back a piece of his, so … but I don’t care.”“How come?”“They remind me of the love we shared.”
The young man was deeply moved. He walked up to the old man, took a piece of his heart out and gave it to the old man.
The old man placed it in his heart, then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound（伤口）in the young man’s heart. It fitted, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.
The young man looked at his heart, not perfect any more but more beautiful than ever.
How sad it must be to go through life with a whole untouched heart!
