When I was about fourteen, I was going through a really difficult time. I often felt lonely. At school, I didn’t have many close friends, so most of the time I just kept quiet.
In Sweden, we had a class called woodworking. Last term, we needed to make a project, and later we could bring it home. I worked very hard on mine. When it was finally finished, I felt a little proud, but I was more worried that others would laugh at me. So I tried to hide it behind my body.
Then something unexpected happened. While I was putting on my jacket, I heard a girl behind me whisper (小声说) to her friend, “Wow, that project looks really cool! How stupendous his model is!” Her voice was full of surprise.
I froze for a second. Then a smile appeared on my face. For the first time, I felt like someone noticed me in a positive way. That moment gave me strength. I decided not to hide my project anymore. Instead, I walked out of the school, holding it high. My best friend Winnie noticed that and asked, “Why are you smiling like that?” I answered, “Because today someone thought my work was cool.”
It was just one simple compliment (赞美) but it changed something inside me. From then on, I wasn’t so afraid to show people my drawings or other things I created. The experience helped me understand that a simple, kind word might make a big difference to someone in his or her life.

Two years ago, she saw a lot of rubbish in a park every day. This made her sad. One afternoon, seeing kids selling juice there gave her an idea. “What if we sell crafts and use the money to buy trees?” she asked her mom.
With her mom’s help, Sarah started making crafts from old boxes and bottles. After school, she waited for people to buy them. At first, no one came, and Sarah felt disappointed, but she persisted.
Soon, people began to stop by. A woman bought a cloth bag. Kids liked the flower pots. After one month, Sarah had made $150! She bought thirty small trees. With her parents, she planted them around the park.
Now, the neighborhood looks better. Birds have more places to rest. Sarah even teaches her friends to make green crafts. They have sales every month to get money for new projects, like bird feeders.
This year, Sarah told her story at a community event. “It’s important to make our community greener,” she said. “If everyone helps a little, we can make life better.” She believes every small effort helps when looking after our environment.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,完成下列各题。
Eric, a French exchange student, went to a middle school in Shanghai to learn about Chinese culture and make new friends.
One cool autumn morning, Eric met his new roommate, Wei Ning, a Chinese student. Excited to make a good first impression (印象), Eric held out his arms to give Wei a warm hug, a common greeting in France. However, Wei stepped back, looking surprised and uncomfortable. Eric didn’t know the cultural difference and felt quite confused (困惑的). Luckily, Eric’s classmate, Fu Xing, saw this. He told Eric that in China, hugs are usually for good friends or family.
Later that day in the lunchroom, Eric saw his teacher, Miss Gao, far away. He naturally waved to her with his palm facing up, just as he did at home. But Miss Gao looked surprised and then just smiled. When Eric felt confused again, Miss Gao walked towards him. She then told Eric that in China, waving with one’s palm facing up is a way to call someone of lower social standing and that to greet someone politely, a handshake or a polite bow is much better.
To make up for his mistakes, Eric planned a small party in his room. He invited Wei Ning, Fu Xing, Miss Gao and many other classmates. They talked, laughed, and enjoyed delicious food while learning about each other’s customs. Many people liked Eric’s kind act and became good friends with him, including Wei Ning and Miss Gao.
Through these experiences, Eric learned about Chinese ways of using body language and being polite. His roommates and classmates learned that being patient and open-minded is important when people have different customs.

When I was about fourteen, I was going through a really difficult time. I often felt lonely. At school, I didn’t have many close friends, so most of the time I just kept quiet.
In Sweden, we had a class called woodworking. Last term, we needed to make a project, and later we could bring it home. I worked very hard on mine. When it was finally finished, I felt a little proud, but I was more worried that others would laugh at me. So I tried to hide it behind my body.
Then something unexpected happened. While I was putting on my jacket, I heard a girl behind me whisper (小声说) to her friend, “Wow, that project looks really cool! How stupendous his model is!” Her voice was full of surprise.
I froze for a second. Then a smile appeared on my face. For the first time, I felt like someone noticed me in a positive way. That moment gave me strength. I decided not to hide my project anymore. Instead, I walked out of the school, holding it high. My best friend Winnie noticed that and asked, “Why are you smiling like that?” I answered, “Because today someone thought my work was cool.”
It was just one simple compliment (赞美), but it changed something inside me. From then on, I wasn’t so afraid to show people my drawings or other things I created. The experience helped me understand that a simple, kind word might make a big difference to someone in his or her life.
