    I was born with a kind of illness—my arms are shorter. In people's1, I am a disabled(残疾的) person, but I don't think so. I2think that I am different from others.

    With the help of my parents, friends and a special program for young people with disabilities(残疾), I have3how to fight for myself, and how to be strong(坚定的). But that doesn't4that it has been easy for me to do many things well like others. I had to leave my baseball club5it was hard for me to catch the ball.

    When I was in elementary school, the other kids would help me6books or do some other things that were hard for me. When I was in the seventh grade, I left my elementary school, so I had to7new friends. Would I be able to find people who could see me as me but not as someone with a disability? Every day I would sit8and think about it. Later I had a group of eight good friends and we were9together. In senior high school, as lessons10harder, I had to work harder. I needed more time for my study. But I never had to take "special" classes.

    Most students in America like popular music. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.

    Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about the sports, the weather and the life of American people. Most of the radio programs are music.

    Popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people will buy his or her CDs or tapes. Some of the money from them goes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, most of the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.

    There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music which tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. It was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows which they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.

    As Zhang led over 600 doctors and nurses fighting the disease, his strange way of walking shocked his colleagues. He finally admitted that he had fallen ill with ALS (渐冻症) since October 2018 after constant researches. ALS is a disease that gradually blocks the connection between brain and body. People with ALS become partially paralyzed(瘫痪的) leading to respiratory(呼吸系统的) failure.

    While working with handicapped(瘸的)legs, his wife was confirmed to get infected with the virus after working in another hospital. The bad news brought him to his knees, and he cried for the first time after the virus broke out. Zhang could only find time to visit his wife until three days after she got admitted to the hospital. Even then he could only stay for 30 minutes. Fortunately, the good news came that his wife had recovered ten days after treatment.

    Zhang, 57, has offered medical services along with Chinese medical teams to Algcria and Pakistan. Three days after the earthquake hit central Sichuan Province in 2008. Zhang entered the city with his medical team members to offer help.

    "Life is always short. I need to do more to finish the things that I might leave behind, then I would leave without too many regrets," Zhang said. "We are at the center of a storm, so we need to give all we have to protect our city, and our Wuhan people," Zhang said.

    When you are curious about something and want to know more about it, you can use the way of asking questions. Asking questions is the first step to make discoveries and find interesting answers. The following steps can guide you during the research.

    Step 1 Write down the subject that you are interested in on a piece of paper. Just get the main idea down. For example, you might write: Discover more about robots.

    Step 2 Stop and think for a moment about what you have already known about your subject. List what you have already known like the sentences: The first robot appeared in the USA in 1959. A robot can do housework and act as a teacher. Sometimes a robot catches viruses(病毒) and causes a lot of problems.

    Step 3 Write down questions about the robots on the paper: What might robots be like in the future? What other things can robots do for people? What kind of power will robots possibly use in five years?

Step 4 With your list of questions, you can now go to the nearest library or computer to begin your research. As you learn more about your subject, you will probably discover some new questions. For example, you might discover that robots can help scientists explore dangerous places, like the sea and outer space. How? What happened? Asking new questions can help you research your subject more widely.

    Remember that learning more always brings more questions.

    At many Thanksgiving dinners, everyone around the table shares something they are thankful for. As we know, most can do this easily. It's more important to know how to be thankful people all the time.

Be positive( 乐观). No matter what happens, it's best to remember the good things. Find the bright side in bad situations, and push back against negative(负面的) opinions. Also, do your best not to compare yourself to others. But when you're around others, give expression to what you like about them. By keeping good in mind, you'll give thanks for it even more than before.

    Accept the negative. At the same time, we can't pay no attention to bad things that have happened. We should learn from mistakes. It makes us become strong. Before we know it, we're thankful for negative things, too. Our mistakes can also make us humble(谦逊的), which is not all bad. Humble people have better relationships and see life's blessings(祝福) much more clearly!

    Acts of kindness. Thankful people know that it's much better to give than to receive. When you're thankful, you feel it's your duty to show love to others. Some people volunteer to help people in need. Studies show that volunteers might feel happier and healthier.

    Use of time. By spending time with others, you show them how much they mean to you. But being thankful is also better realized by spending time alone. When you're alone, you can think about the best parts of your day. You can list them out and think them over. You can find your way to make thanksgiving a part of your life. How wonderful it is! Just enjoy it every day!
