“What is your name? ” is a question most frequently asked when people meet for the first time. But for me, it
was the first challenge I encountered as an international student in Ireland.
The pronunciation system of the Chinese language is quite different from that of English. For native speakers
of English, some Chinese words are rather difficult to pronounce. My given name Qiuyu (秋雨), for instance,
happened to be a great challenge for many of them. Every time I gave a self-introduction, I had to explain how to
pronounce my name at least five times, yet they still could not say it the way I did.
Once in a lecture, the professor tried repeating my name after me over and over in front of thirty classmates. Ireally did not know whether I should continue correcting him or simply drop the matter. I feared that my classmates
might grow tired of my efforts or even lose patience with me. After all, I did care about how others would think of
me. I realized that if I didn’t stop, the entire lecture would be ruined. “It’s okay, professor,” I shrugged (耸肩). The
awkward moment ended with the class erupting into laughter. I forced a smile, unsure how to respond further.
After that incident, I stopped acting as a “Chinese teacher.” Instead of correcting others when they were
struggling to pronounce my name, I just smiled and nodded approvingly. This approach spared me the discomfort
of having to over-explain. However, I soon found that by doing so, I might be losing something more important: the
opportunity to share a small part of my cultural identity.

Kevin was pretty bored. His mother was at work, and his father had been away on business. Therefore, he was
left in the care of Mrs. Hill, an old lady who lived next door. His parents had raised the 12-year-old to be a good
boy. He never got into trouble, though sometimes he wanted to do risky things. Mrs. Hill was asleep. Kevin sighed
(叹息) and hoped something exciting would happen. Suddenly, a movement outside caught his eye.
Mrs. Hill’s front window faced Mr. and Mrs. Green’s house across the street. The couple had both gone to
work, so it was strange that someone was over there. Kevin stared at the man at their front door. Suddenly, the man
jumped through an open window into the house. With his heart in his mouth, Kevin grabbed Mrs. Hill’s home
phone and called the police.
Thinking that the man might get away with whatever he wanted before the police arrived, Kevin decided to do
something. He rushed out of Mrs. Hill’s house and crossed the street quickly. Grabbing a branch from a cut-down
tree, he jumped in through the window. “Stop right there! You must leave right now!” he called out, holding the
branch with both hands.
The man froze for a second, but when he saw the skinny boy he breathed a sigh of relief. “Hey, kid, put that
down. It was my home. My parents used to live here and my father’s watch was here,” he explained, trying to lift a
floorboard.
At that moment, the sounds of a police car echoed (回响) in the air. The man stood up in a panic, then ran
through the house toward the window and jumped out. Kevin followed out and told the arriving police officerswhat had happened. They pursued and arrested the man.
Kevin went back to Mrs. Hill’s house. Somehow he wasn’t sure he had done the right thing. “What if he has
told the truth?” he thought to himself. The man’s words sounded pretty convincing.

Eva spent the first week of high school trying to keep her head above water. One of the major headaches for
her was finding her way in the huge school building. It was a six-story building. On each floor, hallways stretched
in four directions, leading to classrooms, laboratories, and teachers’ offices. Somewhere in the building, there was
also a library, a cafeteria, and a gym.
Having a poor sense of direction, Eva found it impossible to get around in such a huge building. All the
different hallways and rooms were too much to think about, let alone commit to memory. She decided that she
would memorize where her classes were and then pretend that the rest of the place didn’t exist.
In her first PE class, Eva was shocked when Coach Pitt announced that everyone had to run one mile around
the track outside. She searched the faces of her classmates for signs of panic. There was nothing she feared more
than having to run a whole mile. To Eva, “a mile” was used to describe long distances. It was ten miles from her
home to her grandfather’s, and that always seemed like a long way, even in a car!
When Coach Pitt blew his whistle (哨子), Eva figured she would be left in the dust. However, while some of
her classmates edged ahead, others actually fell behind. ” It’s just the beginning, “she thought. “I’ll come in last for
sure. ”
Soon Eva began to breathe hard, with her heart pounding and legs shaking. Feeling desperate, Eva started
using a mind trick on herself. She stopped thinking about the word” mile. “Instead, she focused on reaching the
shadow cast on the track by an oak tree up ahead. Then she concentrated on jogging to the spot where the track
curved (拐弯). After that, she tried to see if she could complete her first lap. One lap turned into two, then three,
then four.

When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without
thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing
was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the
Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your
stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed
to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse
at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come
straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I
sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I
worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen
books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.”
I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the
enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.

It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the
small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was
small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t
with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids
from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let
him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After
making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking
from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his
classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were
doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team.
It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run
long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with
the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.

My wife and I wanted to share our new home with family and friends by hosting a small gathering in the early
summer. She had prepared lots of snacks, while my job was to have the backyard in order.
There was plenty of space for the kids to run and play. There was just one thing I hadn’t counted on: My
brother chose to bring his dog Toby, a 50-pound ball of fire. Though friendly, he could easily knock over my
niece’s small boys and my six-month-old granddaughter. So, when my brother showed up, I asked him to watch
Toby and keep him outside.
My plan was working out just fine. Toby was using up his energy by running back and forth in the backyard
and giving the kids plenty of room. Unexpectedly, after supper, the weather changed. It started to rain and everyone
went indoors.
It was an awkward moment. I didn’t want Toby to be running around in the house, and my brother wasn’t
happy with driving home with a wet dog. Eventually, my brother decided to leave rather than force the issue.
A few days passed, and I hadn’t heard anything from my brother. I texted him and expressed wishes for him to
come out again. His reply came as a surprise — a shock, actually: “Not a chance.” Clearly, he was unhappy over
the way we had parted. After all, I had left him little choice. Well, he’ll get over it, I reasoned.
Two months passed. My wife suggested I get in touch with my brother, but I resisted, thinking he should call
first. However, my conscience (良心) kept bothering me. I tried to put myself in my brother’s shoes. He was facing
health issues and his wife of thirty-five years had passed away a few months earlier. Toby was his constant
companion, the one who kept him going.

I met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a
bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched
down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ranlike crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I
thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I
was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted
for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队
列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big
smile on his face. "We made it," he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my
Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of
helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash
machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the
message: "Out of order. Sorry."

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day.
How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French
toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff
knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They
decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the
French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into
the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going
smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna
threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so itcooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge
boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But
the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But
Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she
caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had
lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other
meet the challenges.
Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She
knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine
to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed,
his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy -his name was
Bernard-had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his
mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn
money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I
have a solution that we can all help accomplish(完成).”
The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell
you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make
popcorn(爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”

I was in Philadelphia for a conference when I saw an ad in the hotel. A nearby theater was showing a
documentary (纪录片) about several local animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the
country. I love animals, and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event. However, none of my co-workers would
go with me, and I was worried about walking on the street alone at night.
I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room, but as soon as I got back to my room I felt
restless and bored. The theater where the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel, and the
area around the hotel didn’t seem particularly dangerous. So, I decided to brave it. I gathered up my wallet and
room key and set off.
It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted. I managed to find the street the theater was on,
but when I turned the corner, I stopped in shock. In front of the theater were a group of bikers — very big, tough-
looking bikers.
I’ve known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people. However, in this case, I was a woman all
alone, in a strange neighborhood, at night, and there were twenty or so very large men — all wearing insignia (徽
章) that indicated they were in some sort of club — standing before me. Warning bells began to sound in my head,
and my heart was pounding. Was I at the right theater? Had I misread the date of the event?
A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the right evening. Nevertheless, I wondered
if I should rush back to my hotel instead of walking through that crowd of bikers. I finally decided that I would be
safer inside the theater. Hopefully, the bikers would have gone away by the time the film was over.

Last summer, Hilda worked as a volunteer with dolphin trainers at a sea life park. Her job was to make sure
the tanks were free of any items so that the trainers could train the dolphins to fetch specific items. However, one
day after cleaning, one of the dolphins, Maya, presented Hilda with a candy wrapper from the tank. When
Katherine, the trainer, saw this, she blamed Hilda for her carelessness. Upset but not discouraged by this event,
Hilda decided to do some spying on Maya.
The next morning, Hilda arrived at the park early. She put on her scuba gear (水下呼吸器) and jumped into
the tank for her usual, underwater sweep. Finding nothing in the tank, she climbed out of the water just in time to
see Katherine jumping in on the other side. After what happened yesterday, Hilda knew what she was doing. She
watched as Katherine performed her underwater search, but Hilda wasn’t surprised when she surfaced empty-
handed.
During the tank sweeps, Maya had been swimming playfully, but now the dolphin stopped suddenly and swam
to the back part of the tank where the filter (过滤) box was located. She stuck her nose down behind the box and
then swam away. What was Maya doing back there? Hilda wondered. She jumped back into the water and swam
over to take a look behind the box, and her question was answered. Hilda then swam across the tank following
Maya’s path and emerged from the water to find Katherine removing her scuba gear. As Katherine turned around,
her mouth dropped open. There was Maya at the edge of the tank with a comb (梳子) in her mouth waiting for her
treat.
“Maya! Where did you get that?” demanded Katherine, taking the comb and throwing her a fish. “I know
where she got it,” declared Hilda climbing out of the tank with a handful of items still wet from their watery,
resting place. “What’s all this?” Katherine asked, obviously confused.

I was invited to a cookout on an old friend’s farm in western Washington. I parked my car outside the farm
and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used in many years. A noise at a window caught
my attention, so I entered it. It was a hummingbird (蜂鸟), desperately trying to escape. She was covered in spider-
webs (蛛网) and was barely able to move her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.
With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in. The broken window glass was
the likely answer. I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside, closing the door securely behind me.
When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes. I removed the
sticky spider-webs that covered her head and wings. Still, she made no attempt to fly. Perhaps she had been
struggling against the window too long and was too tired? Or too thirsty?
As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move. I
stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away.
Hovering (悬停), she approached within six inches of my face. For a very long moment, this tiny creature
looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side. Then she flew quickly out of sight.
During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident. They promised to fix the window. As I
was departing, my friends walked me to my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center
of our group and began hovering. She turned from person to person until she came to me. She again looked directly
into my eyes, then let out a squeaking call and was gone. For a moment, all were speechless. Then someone said,
“She must have come to say goodbye.”

My husband and I enjoy seeing life through the eyes of our children. It’s amazing to watch as they discover
their world.
While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the
doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel.
We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait—and
looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother—we realized the tiny squirrel was lost.
Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and
Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded
that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for
milk and supplies was in order. More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and
when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.
Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to
eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.
To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would
chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long
before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.
His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then
run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.
