    Maricel Apatan, 22, stands in the kitchen of the Edsa Shangi­La Hotel in Manila, preparing to decorate a cheese cake. It would seem to be a routine task for a cake chef, but Maricel is no ordinary chef—she has no hands.

    Maricel has come a long way since the day in September 2000 when she and her uncle were attacked near their farm. Fortunately, both of them survived, but the 11­year­old girl lost her hands. In 2004, she entered a Manila training centre for people with disabilities. She learned how to write and do housework and, more importantly, came to terms with her disability.

    After graduating from high school, she took a two­year Hotel and Restaurant Management course and flourished even though she was the only disabled student in the course. After she moved back to Manila to continue her studies, the media started reporting on this determined young woman. She didn't shy away from the attention. “I wanted others living with disabilities to believe it's possible to live a normal life,” Maricel says.

    When managers at the Edsa Shangi­La Hotel saw Maricel on television, they hired her as part of the hotel's Care for People project. She has also accomplished her goal of inspiring others. One of them is Ronelyn Calumpiano, a 21­year­old with cerebral palsy (脑瘫). She saw Maricel on television and was moved by her confidence. Ronelyn will soon start classes and is already planning a career in IT.

    Maricel's three younger sisters have moved to Manila. She pays for the rent of their small apartment, while their parents look after their family farm in Mindanao. “It is difficult to make ends meet, but I won't lose hope. I believe anything is possible if you dream, work hard and pray.”

    Dr Dian Fossey, one of the world's leading women scientists, had a remarkable career. The work—she devoted her life to protecting and studying the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) of Africa—has proved highly effective and has resulted in the steady (平稳的) increase of this most endangered great apes.

    Fossey made her first trip to Africa in 1963. Three years later, she returned to Africa to begin a long­time study of the mountain gorillas. She set up camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo but moved to Rwanda because of political reasons in 1967. She established her “Karisoke” Research Centre camp on September 24,1967.

    Fossey's aims were to study gorilla ecology (生态学) and social organization. She found that in order to achieve this, she needed to recognize individual gorillas, which required that the gorillas get used to her presence (出现). By copying gorillas' behaviour and sounds, Fossey began to gain their trust, and in 1970 an adult male gorilla she had named  “Peanuts”reached out to touch her hand.

    Close observations over thousands of hours enabled Fossey to gain the gorillas' trust and bring forth new knowledge about their behaviour. Stories and photographs of her work were published in National Geographic Magazine and elsewhere.

    In 1977, one of Fossey's favorite gorillas, Digit, was killed by poachers and she established the Digit Fund to help raise money for gorilla protection efforts in the same year.

    On December 26, 1985, Fossey was murdered while going back to her house in Karisoke. Her body was discovered near the research centre. Most probably, Dian Fossey had been killed by the poachers she'd fought against. On her tombstone (墓碑), “No one loved gorillas more...”

    In 1988, the life and the work of Fossey were made into a movie based on her book.

    High school biology teacher Kelly Chavis knew smartphones were a problem in her class. But not even the students realized how much of a problem the devices were until Chavis did an in­class experiment.

    For one class period, students used a whiteboard to count every Snapchat, Instagram, text, call that appeared on their phones. Chavis is among a growing number of teachers, parents and health experts who believe that smartphones are now partly to blame for increasing the levels of student anxiety. “One girl, just during the one hour, got close to 150 Snapchat notifications. 150！” she said.

    Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University in California, said it is not a coincidence that youth mental health issues have risen with the number of phones. “This use of phones has led to a loss of sleep and face­to­face interactions necessary for their growth，” she said.

    Researchers are still not sure whether phones cause student depression or depression causes phone use. But nearly 60 percent of parents said they worry about the influence of social media on their child's physical and mental health.

    Both schools and parents are starting to take steps to deal with the problem. Many public schools pay outside companies to watch students' social media activity for signs of anxiety. Other schools invite in yoga teachers and comfort dogs to help calm students.

    The world is colorful, where different languages, skin colors, and different cultures exist. . A way to develop this appreciation is to try to learn about other cultures around the world.

    There are several ways to become knowledgeable about different cultures. . Reading works by authors who have a close relationship with a particular culture allows people to gain an accurate understanding of the food, music, language, religion, and way of a life of a particular group of people. For example, when you really wish to expose your students to a different culture, you can often read them stories based on a culture's folktale.

    . A variety of language­learning books, software, and audio programs are available at the public library or bookstores. . Moreover, making contact with people who are native speakers of the language also allows you to gain first­hand knowledge of a particular culture, which, on the other hand, can help you learn more.

    . Whether you want to learn more about regions in Japan, the Middle East, Africa, or any other world culture, becoming familiar with its food is a giant step in the right direction. Food is an important part of different cultures and allows people to gain insight into a particular cultural group's way of life.

A. Making your way leisurely to local bookstores can be a lot of fun

B. One way is to read books written by authors from a particular culture

C. Learn about different cultures by eating food from a specific cultural group

D. Another way to learn about different cultures is to try to learn a foreign language

E. Gaining an understanding of other cultures benefits both you and other people

F. You can choose a language to learn there and finally, with efforts, master the language

G. It's important to develop an appreciation for different cultures to become a well­rounded person

    It is 27 years since my last conversation with my mother, who didn't finish school like many of her contemporary girls. She often told me, “I never got my 1 but one day you will.”

    Pointing to a tree or cow, she asked me to 2 their English names after her. Feeling annoyed, I asked, “Mama, why do I have to learn these foreign 3？”She held her pen right before my eyes. “Hold it firmly,”she encouraged me,“for this pen and the new foreign language will be your compass to 4around the world.” Sadly, my mother died of breast cancer when I was six.

    Turning seven, I 5 30 miles to live closer to my school. But “closer” is a6 term in Uganda, which means I had to get up as the 7sun rose and then ran 8.8 miles barefoot to 8. Also, I needed to carry a stick to look out for snakes and dogs. During the 9 season, the path to school was 10 daily and I'd swim with one hand, using the other hand to hold the book bag on my 11.

    Research shows 70 percent of poor children don't 12 primary school in Uganda. Reasons for this high dropout rate (辍学率) includes the long distances some children must 13 among many other reasons.

    Fortunately, I've made it. Whenever I see the sun rise I am reminded of the 14 of my mother, who inspired me to dream big and to use the 15 of the pen to make my dream come true.

    The question was once asked of a (high) successful businessman, “How have you done so much in your lifetime？” He replied, “I had dreams. Then I went to bed and (think) about my dreams. In the night I dreamt about my dreams. And when I (awake) in the morning, I saw the way to make my dreams come true.”

     “While other people were saying, ‘You can't do that, and it is (possible)’. Actually, I was well on my way to (achieve) what I wanted. As Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President the US, said: ‘We grow great by dreams.’”

    All big men are (dreamer). Some of us let these dreams die, but nourish and protect them; nourish them through bad days they bring them to the sunshine and light which come always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true. So please, don't let anyone steal your dreams, or try to tell you they (be) too impossible. Sing your songs and dream your dreams; hope your hope and pray your prayer.

    My parents and I had been planning my brother's birthday party since the beginning of March. Johnny would be six years old in two days. My mom was going to bake her special chocolate cake with white icing. As I watched her, I thought, “Gee, I wonder what I can do to make my brother's birthday special.”

    I knew my parents had already bought a present for me to give to Johnny, but I wanted to buy him something I had chosen myself and with the money I had saved. After giving it some thought, I wanted to buy him the paint­by­number kit (数字涂色小套装) I had seen at the store around the corner.

    I decided to empty my coin jar and see how much money I had saved. However, I was disappointed to find there was much less than I had imagined. “Oh, no, I only have about three dollars, ” I muttered to myself. The set cost more than I have saved.

    Suddenly a “great” idea occurred to me. I slid into my parents' bedroom where my dad kept loose change on top of the dresser. I stood on my tiptoes and saw some dime, nickels, and a few quarters. I carefully counted out what I needed to make up the difference. “I'm sure Dad won't mind just this once, ” I thought.

    However, I was soon overcome by guilt. Even though there was no one else in the bedroom, I felt like I was being watched. Mom was always telling us about the importance of honesty. “Maybe my plan wasn't such a great idea after all, ” I thought. I jingled the change around in my pocket while wondering what to do.

    I grabbed my jacket from the closet and headed toward the door. “Where are you going, honey？” Mom asked. “Oh, just up to the corner store, ” I replied. “Well, don't stay out too long. Daddy will be home soon.” “Okay, Mom, ” I ran out of our house.

    Once I got to the store, I took the paint­by­number kit from the shelf.

     “Can I help you, young lady？” the salesclerk asked.

     “No, I'm just looking. Thank you, ” I said.

     “That's a really nice paint kit. We sell a lot of them and, as you can see, that's the last one, ” she said.

    Paragraph 1：

    I nodded my head in agreement, with my mind racing.

    Paragraph 2：

    I would just have to wait until I saved the extra money I needed.
