Grandmother and Grandfather told him what a lucky boy he was to come to this wonderful city. But Carlos was lonely. The city looked big, cold and dirty to him.
They lived in an apartment(公寓)in Manhattan. There were stores and cinemas close to their home. But Carlos didn’t want these things. He loved his home in the country in Puerto Rico; he loved the green fields, the hot sun, and the lovely beaches.
He didn’t want to go to school because it made him think of his friends at home. And he didn’t want to learn a new language that he could never describe the world as beautifully as his own.
He began to go the dock(码头), because this made him feel closer to Puerto Rico. He sat down and watched the ships. He would often find a man also sitting there looking at the sea. The man was Eric—a taxi driver who came there to escape from the noisy traffic.
Eric noticed the young boy and felt his sadness. One day he said, “Yes, it’s hard to leave your homeland. I remember when I left Norway 15 years ago. I know it’s hard to start a new life in a new country, but let’s face it. I did it, and you can do it, too.”
From then on the taxi driver and the young boy began to develop a deep friendship.

I have recently completed my college degree. The last project was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out to smile at three people and document their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake.
My husband, youngest son and I went out to McDonald. We were standing in line when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away. As I turned around I smelled a horrible body odour(气味) and saw two poor homeless men standing behind me. As I looked at the short blue-eyed gentleman closest to me, he was “smiling”. The second man fumbled(摸索) with his hands as he stood behind his friend.
“Coffee is all, Miss.” Because that was all they could afford.
Then I really felt it—I embraced(拥抱) the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked two more breakfast meals on and gave them to the men.
The blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you." When I set down my husband smiled at me. We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that because of the good fortune that we had been given.
I turned in my project. My teacher said, “Can I share this?" I slowly nodded as she got attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings share this need to heal people and to be healed.

Once upon a time，there was a tortoise on a ship，and the ship was damaged and dropped into the water. Some time later the tortoise made it to a desert land surrounded(包围)by water on all sides except for one. The landward(向陆地的)side led up to a big mountain. To avoid starving to death，the tortoise decided to climb to the top of the mountain，hoping that he would be able to cross to the other side.
　　When he got to the snow­covered top he was very cold，and then a heavy snow storm started. He just managed to make out a small pathway leading down the other side of the mountain. But the path was guarded(看管)by a big monster(怪物)that wouldn't stop shouting.
　　“Uuh uuh uuh！”Such a sight and sound made tortoise extremely scared，and all he wanted to do was hide his head inside his shell. But，looking around him，he saw that many other animals were lying in the snow，with looks of fear on their faces. So the tortoise didn't go into his shell.
　　He summoned up(鼓起)all his courage to move down the path towards the monster. The closer the tortoise got，the more the monster changed its shape. Then，when he was almost upon it，the tortoise realized that what he had thought was a monster was only a great pile of rocks，which formed a shape just like a monster. As for the“Uuh uuh uuh”，the tortoise realized this was just the sound of the wind blowing through a small cave.
