1、   At just 12 years old, Leonardo Nicanor Quinteros is still in middle school, 1. but he has already run his own free school. He helps other children with their studies.

Leonardo loves to study. After seeing some of his classmates trying to keep up at school, he decided to do something about it. Last year, he told his grandmother that he wanted to have his own school. 2. 他要奶奶帮他把学校建在他们家隔壁。She agreed. Today, the free school has nearly 40 students. The boy acts as teacher and headmaster. 3. He is proud that what he does has already made a big difference to many of the children there.

The school is not much to look at. It's made mostly of adobe(土砖) and is pretty small. 4. 但是，在邻居们的帮助下，学校正变得越来越好。Leonardo lives 20 minutes away from his own school. But every day he gets on his bicycle after coming home from school and rides to his own school. He teaches classes on different subjects, like math and grammar. Sometimes, 5. when his students cannot come, he gives the classes at night to make sure they don't get behind on their studies.

Leonardo does his best to help students improve their subjects. Many admit (承 认) that they have improved a lot. “He helped me to pass the tests, now I'm in Third Grade,” one of the students said.

25、   You must have remembered the story from your childhood: an old man was worried about his sons who were always quarreling(吵架) among themselves. In order to teach them a lesson, he asked them to break a bundle(捆) of sticks tied together. Clearly, none of them could. And when the bundle was untied, they were able to break each stick easily enough. Why? This is because of the power of unity(团结).

The power of unity is known to all of us. But we often seem to forget it when it comes to individual(个体的) success. Most of us consider our success as a personal thing, and it has nothing to do with others.

Dr. John Maxwell, in his book Success Journey says that success is not a trip that you take alone. But it is something that you take with your family and your friends. Think about it—if at the end of all the achievements, you find yourself alone, will you call it success in a real sense?

Your dream and your success do not belong to you alone. Even though you work hard towards your dream, there are people who are working behind to make sure that you are able to give you a hundred percent. For example, you are studying in school so that you can have good education; your parents are working hard to pay for the cost and provide something you need for you.

Do you think that it is possible without unity? Don’t you feel that these people are doing their best so that you can be successful? And so, unity plays an important role, even if you are talking about your personal success. So, it is your responsibility(责任) to maintain unity if you really want to be successful in life. Only if you always treat things and people in your life seriously, will you succeed because all the things and people around you have connections in some way.

26、   Long long ago, there was a big bad wolf. One day, he was coming home. It seemed that someone was following him. He turned around but nobody was behind him. But he saw his shadow(影子). It was very tall and large.

When the wolf saw his shadow, he felt very proud. He said to himself, “ Look! I’m much taller and larger. In fact, I’m really tall and strong. I’m even bigger than that lion over there. If I go up to him and growl(咆哮)at him, he must be afraid of me. He will probably ask me to take his place to be the king of the animals.”

27、A special Boeing 777 Freighter provided by FedEx was taking the panda, Bei Bei, and the two of the zoo’s staff members – a panda keeper and a doctor—nonstop from Washington to Chengdu.

During the trip, he was provided with a supply of his treats including bamboo, apples, pears, carrots, cooked sweet potatoes.

Before he left Washington, thousands of people joined ‘Bye Bye, Bei Bei’. During the activity, many people were sad for Bei Bei’s leaving. They hoped he would love his new home in China, and they hoped to visit him there some day.

Su, Bei Bei’s new keeper in China, who majored in animal medicine at Jilin Agricultural Science and Technology University, has worked at the base since she completed her university in 2016. “I feel very nervous when I receive the task because Bei Bei has received a lot of attention. But I think I can do well as I had a lot of experience in panda management,” Su said. “I have taken care of about10 pandas before.”

Su said she had prepared a lot for his arrival. She has planned to spend two weeks allowing Bei Bei to get to know her voice. She will also train him how to stand and sit. “Pandas like sweet food. Bei Bei has been rewarded with sugarcane after cooperating in a physical checkup, for example, after he has placed one leg on equipment to enable blood to be drawn,” Su said. “Instead of sugarcane, we will feed Bei Bei with honey as a reward,” she added.

Her daily routine includes cleaning his den and feeding the panda four times during the daytime. At night, Bei Bei may wake two or three times to eat and then fall asleep, so Su will set up an app on her phone to monitor him.

Pandas are native to Chengdu. So we believe that Bei Bei will get used to living here quickly.
