goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to stop climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.” 21教育网

At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal（水晶）.【出处：21教育名师】

I had seen Thomas in the church, but he had left before me and was already at the hotel when I returned. He had found a large book and was busy counting the pages. He seemed to be a person who did not need other people. He was happy on his own. His calmness made me feel calm too. We looked at the book together, and I tried to explain the words in it. We smoked a pipe together, and somehow we became good friends. He gave me his New Zealand head and shared his money. That night, I helped him when he made a biscuit, and he told me his life story

as we sat in bed.

Thomas was born on the island of Rokovoko, which could not be found in any map. His father was a king, and his uncle was an officer. When Thomas was young, a whaling ship（捕鲸船） came to his father’s island. Thomas decided that he wanted to see more of the world. However, the ship would not take him, so he tied himself to it and told the Captain that he would die rather than stay at home. Finally, the captain agreed to take him on board. That’s how he came to Nantucket and then New Bedford. We agreed to go to Nantucket together and try to get work on the same ship.

The next morning was Monday, and I paid the boss. We borrowed a wheelbarrow（独轮车） and started for the ship. People began to see a white man and a black man together. But to me, color doesn’t matter because a white man is only a black man with a coat of white paint. At last，we stood on board of the ship to Nantucket. How good it was to be at sea again! A strong wind blew through our hair, and our noses breathed the salt air. One foolish young man fell overboard, and Thomas jumped into the freezing water to save him. Afterward, all the people called him hero, but he just sat quietly and smoked his pipe. I knew that I had found a wonderful friend.21·世纪*教育网

bullying.

Josh Yandrt, who lives in Ontario, was no exception. And after being bullied for years, he decided to make one simple change when he changed schools: He started opening doors for his classmates.

“The first few weeks when I started doing it, they were shocked.” he explains in a video for West Jet’s Above & Beyond, a series that shares the stories of inspirational Canadians. “Not many people hold doors, right? But after that, people started to open up to me. _____________________. It’s also about putting yourself out there, getting to know people, making them feel comfortable, making them feel welcome. Opening doors gives people hope and shows that people care.”

Holding the door for his classmates changed everything for Yandrt, and now he has more friends than he can count. www.21-cn-jy.com

“People just love what I do. Every day people always say ‘thank you,’ people smile, and it’s really great,” he told Canada’s CBC News as the classmates clapped him on the back, said thanks, or gave a hello as they passed by in the hallway.

The story doesn’t end there. Yandrt was regarded as a party king. He has taken on speaking engagements(演讲), sharing his story with younger students.
