I watched a television series of unsung heroes the other day. They’re fire-fighters, doctors and migrant workers. Definitely their names are unknown but their stories have touched many hearts.
Let me first share with you the experiences of fire-fighters. As steel warriors born of flames, fire-fighters are brave, stiff and ready to sacrifice. In the video, I witnessed how fire-fighters proceeded with difficulty to put out the fire on some warehouses. Those warehouses were full of barrels containing benzene. As we all know, benzene belongs to toxic chemicals. To make things worse, there would be explosion at any time due to the pressure caused by the heat and high temperature. Thus, a life-and-death fight between the fire and fire-fighters occurred. They were divided into several brigades and jointly endeavored to fight against the fire for the sake of people as well as their property. During the course of the combat, a number of fire-fighters got infected because of the toxic chemicals. They felt dizzy and vomited. However, the obstacles didn’t make those heroes retreat or give up. Finally, their constant efforts and strong will power helped them put out the fire thoroughly. Their spirit is quite moving and deserves our respect.
Next it comes to doctors. A doctor is one of the professions that everyone is so familiar with, right? Through the series, I’ve learned that there is a woman whose experience differs from others’. In her hospital, she often sees infants rejected by their parents at the door. Those poor infants as she said have got cerebral palsy. Despite the strong opposition of her family and friends, she determined to adopt any infant who is rejected by parents. In fact, the doctor herself isn’t rich enough. A lot of neighbors think of her to be mad. But there is a firm belief supporting this woman doctor along the way, and that is “All things in their being are good for something.” She shows special preference for those infants and teaches them to talk. With her love and care, those lucky infants are growing up healthily day by day. She hopes that they can contribute for the society in the future. What a wonderful dream. Hopefully her dream could come true some day.
Last but not the least, from those series I also learned the grass-roots society. Inside myself, a heart is growing, a heart not only beats for myself but cares for others as well. I once volunteered to be an English teacher in a primary school for children of migrant workers. The volunteer work gave me a precious little chance of saying thanks to people like the children’s parents who construct highways and underground, build up modern skyscrapers and make our cities more and more beautiful. To help the children with their English is what I can do at present to show my gratitude to those unsung heroes. The world may not be fair to them, so privileged and blessed people like me are obliged to do whatever we can to help make their life better. Whatever I do for them, I know it can’t be compared with what they have done to improve the quality of life in our cities…
All in all, I can not enumerate all great examples of those unsung heroes all at once. Here, I would like to say that all of us should salute to them. The salutation represents our appreciation, gratitude and respect from the deep of our hearts indeed.

love in your heart
John was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose. Thirteen months ago, in a Florida library he took a book off the shelf and found himself intrigued with the notes in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind.
In front of the book, he discovered the previous owner’s name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond.
During the next year and one-month the two grew to know each other through the mail. A Romance was budding. John requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. Later they scheduled their first meeting-7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York.
"You'll recognize me, " she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel." So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for the girl with the red rose.
A young woman in a green suit was coming toward him, her figure long and slim and her eyes were blue as flowers. Almost uncontrollably he made one step closer to her, and just at this moment he saw Hollis Maynell-a woman well past 40. The girl was walking quickly away. He felt as though he split in two, so keen was his desire to follow her, and yet so deep was his longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned him and upheld his own.
He did not hesitate. He squared his shoulders and said, "I’m John, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?"
The woman smiled, "I don’t know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady in the green suit begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should tell you that she is waiting for you in the restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!"
It’s not difficult to admire Miss Maynell’s wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in it's response to the unattractive.

Diffenent Social Customs Between Americans and Chinese
Social customs differ from place to place in the world. Misunderstanding will surely arise if we are not aware of these differences. There are many differences in social customs between Americans and Chinese. The most obvious is that people are very informal in social situations in the United States. For example, they call each other by their given names when they meet for the first time, including the young to the old. In China, however, this will be regarded as quite impolite. Another difference is in topics in conversation. It is quite all right to ask a Chinese the cost of his possessions while it is quite rude to do so in the United States. The Chinese do not care much if they are asked about their age, their political and religious beliefs whereas these kinds of topics are usually avoided in conversations in the United States. There are certainly many other different social customs between Americans and Chinese to which we should pay much attention in the study of the English language. Only those who have an awareness of the culture of another nation can have a better command of its language.

The Full Moon in Heart
"In the early morning of late autumn I see
A full, lone moon in the west above the tree
With nearby houses, distant mountains in dark
And the miracle in a leg of life's journey to mark"
At 5:30, when I got up and saw through the window a full moon in the western sky, something poetic at once filled my heart, with all the songs and legends, stories and experiences related to the moon, coming to me like waves of sea, wavy sea above which a full moon was rising.
A full moon in heart when a full moon shines before the eye, I thought. Later even if the full moon is not in sight, it will shine brightly and comfortably in heart.
I remember I wrote something in my feedback to a comment on my article like this:
With joy at heart, you can feel joy in the world;
With beauty at heart, you can see beauty everything in nature.
So with the full moon in heart, you can posses the full moon all the time whatever happens.
In a long and comparatively short life, we often pursue a mood, a certain emotion, a state of mind we call "Happiness", and once we have experienced it, we shall keep the memory forever---the full moon in heart.
Therefore, I care little whether what I see later is a full moon or not, as long as I keep the full moon in heart, as long as I know that the moon, by nature, is full and round though sometimes part of its face is often hidden or shielded.
From now on, I mind little what I see of the moon, but I do mind what I have of the moon in heart.
