On the first day of my sixth grade, I saw one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “Don’t talk to her,” said Lauren, who sat beside me, “or they will make fun of you.”
Amy had many physical differences—lots of reasons for other kids to make fun of her. Her eyes weren’t straight. Her glasses were too big. And she had really ugly teeth. Every day as we drove to and from school, kids would insult Amy, “God, what a strange face! Stop looking at me!”
I had to be in silence. After all, I didn’t want them to treat me in the same way. But while I was insulting her, my heart ached for the girl. I could see that she was so ashamed(感到羞愧的) and alone. Then I wanted to stand up for her. I just didn’t know how to stoop my schoolmates until the night of our class skating party.
Our whole class was there. Amy was there, too. Amy didn’t know how to skate, but I could see how much she wanted to have fun like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand. She just smiled, and was very excited.
The next morning there was much news about Amy and me skating together. But nobody laughed at her or me. And they didn’t for the rest of the year. I never heard from Amy again after the school year. But I’ve always hoped that I changed her life for the better.

It astonished his mother, because that was the first time he’d been near a piano. Marc gave his first public performance, playing Beethoven, at six, the same age as Mozart. After that concert, Marc won a £225,000 university scholarship (奖学金).
At present he practices the piano eight hours a day. He also studies part-time at the famous Colbum Music School in Los Angeles, and flies once a month to China for lessons at Shanghai Music School.

I suppose when you grow up i n one pla ce, you have friends whom you’ve known since childhood. But as a child who moved a lot, my oldest friendships are with my cousins.
On our return from Guam, my parents, sisters and I walked off the plane in Alexandria. All my cousins were there to meet us.
I was excited to see them again. The last time I’d seen Don, Sherri and David was two years before. That summer we’d caught fireflies(萤火虫) and watched Don and his friends play a game. Some boys acted like a bull(公牛) with a rope(绳子). His friend held the rope and Don rode on it. When Don fell off, he got up and tried again.
Just like riding that bull, Don put his heart into everything he did. As a young man he was told he got cancer(癌症). But he fought it and never gave up. Like what he did that summer, he held tight(紧紧地), falling off a few times and trying again. I was excited and proud of my cousin for planning and going after his dream. I wished his ride would have lasted longer.
