Despite how 30 , and sometimes heartbreaking, it can be, Dean presses on with his 31 . He believes in the 32 of what he is doing to help people learn more about wildlife. His new 33 is a far cry from his days in the financial world, but his 34 and sense of purpose is higher than ever.

You should be glad of the 23 exercise that the hill provides.” My attitude to the hill now has changed. When I 24 it, I will tell myself: This hill will exercise my heart and lung. It will help me to lose weight and get 25 . It will mean that I can live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally, I have a smile of 26 as I reach the top of the hill. Problems are there to be 27 and overcome. We can't achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. She wrote, “Character can’t be 28 in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision 29 , ambition inspired and success achieved.” One of the main 30 of success in life is our attitude towards adversity. At times we all face hardships, problems, accidents and difficulties. Though we can't choose the 31 , we can choose our attitude towards it. Therefore don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that. That’s nonsense. 32 your mind and have a 33 at everything. Go to school, and join in all the games you can.

Then a mission trip to Zimbabwe turned his entire world 21 upside down, and he returned to his home in North Carolina a(n) 22 man. It was on this trip that Marlow was faced with the 23 of extreme poverty that showed itself determinedly in the faces of 24 children begging for food. One orphaned boy, in particular, who slept on the concrete floor of an abandoned gas station with dozens of other orphaned children, 25 the direction of Marlow’s life’s work forever. The young boy begged Marlow to allow him to work for him 26 food, as he had not eaten for days and was starving. It was an 27 that Marlow could not forget as he spent the following days of the trip driving through dusty roads and desperation, determined to find a way to feed the hungry orphans. Marlow went on to found Help One Now, a non-profit organization that 28 ordinary people to help provide food, shelter, and education to poor children in Africa, Haiti, and around the world through 29 acts of generosity. In 2016 he published his first book, Doing Good is Simple, the story of his transformative experience with the reality of severe poverty，as a 30 for others looking to make a positive difference in the world from right where they are. The book does more than 31 people to do good—it puts the suggestion into action with every 32 . “Early on, we decided that we would use the profits of Doing Good Is Simple to provide meals to children in our communities around the world,” Marlow explains. “Every book that is 33 will provide five meals to children in one of our communities. In the first 30 days after the book’s release, we hit over 30,000 meals.” Help One Now is 34 working to aid Haiti in the disaster relief of Hurricane Matthew. “We encourage those interested in working with the 35 to think of ways to help that fit their individual personalities and lifestyles,” he says. “And we also love to see you advocate for us.” 21.

I lived then in Lagos.The ghetto landlords had unlimited 24 . They could throw families with all their possessions out into the street. Annoyed, I wrote about 25 . Those pieces were not published. Then it occurred to me to write a story about them. This began my long 26 in the rigorous craft(严谨构思) of the short story. 27 in Lagos was so terrible that it took three hours to get to work.

I sent the manuscript(手稿) to many 33 , who all turned it down. Then, one morning, a letter came from Longman African Writers Series. I remember giving a cry of 34 . That moment changed everything.

From my earliest 21 I felt as if my mother was preparing me for nothing special.When we entered a room, her entire focus was on me. I felt as if I was the 22 of her universe—a great feeling. Offering her the same respect I intently listened to her stories without 23 . I tried to return that feeling of being truly loved. 24 there was always deep affection flowing between us, she wasn’t a softy(心肠软的人). She worked hard and 25 her children to do the same.I began working in our little corner grocery store by age eight and 26 it by the age of twelve. She appreciated my hard work and treated me as an equal. I learned that I could do anything through hard work. I learned 27 . Mom always supported my decisions, but also 28 her concern. When I decided to retire early from teaching to writing about etiquette(礼仪), she announced her concern. She 29 that there wasn't a market for it—my mom, always the business person. 30 by the end of our conversation she 31 me with, “With your training and love of people, you are perfect for this.” She followed quickly with a saying I'll always remember, “Nothing is 32 to a man who will have a try.” Thanks, Mom. By 33 my mother taught me how to show respect for others. She gave me my listening skills, my courage, and my manners. Through her, I 34 to be strong, to follow my heart, and to work hard.I never 35 . If not for this, I wouldn't be a successful business owner and good friend to all. 21.

I knew the feeling. Just after her first birthday, we were told our daughter Katie has a 22 brain illness. Since that moment, Doug and I felt like runners in a marathon race where the finish line kept disappearing. We knew Katie was running out of 23 . It had taken months before we finally had a name for the 24 but we were told only a few of specialists in the world knew how to 25 it. Now, as we finally found a brilliant doctor to 26 our girl, we were in a strange city in the cold rain. Just at the moment, a middle-aged woman pulled over and said, “Pardon me? May I offer you a(n) 27 ？” Before we could say anything, she continued, “It’s really no 28 for me. Just get in.” It was then that I noticed her thick Irish accent, which 29 me up like hot soup. We simply said, “Thanks! Roosevelt Hospital, please,” as we got in her car for the ride. “Are you going for the baby?” she asked us.I nodded my head, holding back my 30 . At the hospital, we 31 her a dozen times for the ride.As the woman hugged me, I 32 her face was wet with tears. She promised to pray for us before she left.

They built, collected, and donated desks, 22 remote learning for kids in need. In Mitch Couch’s home in California, his daughter and son kept 23 the kitchen table for remote lessons. This gave him an 24 —he would make them their own desks. The desks were kid-size, simple and 25 , made of wood.But they 26 . Then he thought: Why not provide other children with individual learning areas to 27 their items? “I spent only $20—significantly less than what stores charge for desks that are suddenly in 28 ,” Couch said. “I decided to show others how to build desks. So I made a video about desk-making to 29 fellow parents.” A grocery store saw Couch’s 30 online, offering to fund materials if he would build more. The grocery store also 31 local school officials to help identify those in need. 32 , there was an order for 20 desks, but it quickly increased by at least 50.By now Couch is so 33 —he can make one out in about 15 minutes.

He was one of the best string instrument players in our town.He could not 21 music, but if he heard a tune a few times, he could play it. I loved to sing, but I never learned how to 22 the mandolin.This is something I regret to this day. Dad loved to play the mandolin for his 23 , as he knew we enjoyed singing, and hearing him play. He was always there, 24 his time and efforts to see that his family had enough in their life. I had to mature into a man and have children of my own 25 I realized how much he had sacrificed.Nobody played the mandolin like my father.He could 26 your soul with the tones. He seemed to shine when he was playing.You could see his 27 in his ability to play so well for his family. One day, he was involved in an 28 . On this particular day, Dad got the first finger of his left hand 29 by the machine.The doctor who operated on the finger could not 30 it, which did affect his ability to play the mandolin. After the accident, Dad felt that he could not play 31 . When I came home and asked him to play, he would make 32 for why he couldn’t play. In August of 1993 my father was diagnosed with 33 lung cancer. About a week before his death, we asked Dad if he would play the mandolin for us. He said “okay”. He knew it would probably be the last time he could play for us. When I looked around, there was not a 34 eye in the family. We saw before us a quiet man with an inner strength.
