Once upon a time, a Japanese man wanted to rebuild his house. First he had to tear the walls open. Japanese houses have empty spaces between the wooden walls. As he was tearing them down, he found a lizard(蜥蜴) there because a nail(钉子) from the outside had been into one of its feet. Seeing this, he felt for it, and at the same time wanted to know more about it.
He knew very well that the had been knocked into the wall ten years before when the house was first . What had happened since then? The lizard had for ten years! To be trapped in a dark wall for ten years without ---it hardly seems possible, and is hard to . Then he wondered how the lizard could have lived for ten years without moving a single step since its was nailed! So he stopped his work and began to the lizard. He wanted to know what it had been doing, and it had survived.
A short time later another lizard with food in its mouth. He was shocked, and at the same time deeply . Another lizard had been the trapped one for the past ten years.
“What love exists(存在) in this animal! What can love do? It can do ! Just think, one lizard has been taking care of for ten long years, without hope that its partner would be saved,” the man said to himself.
If a small animal like a lizard can like this , just imagine how we could if we tried.

One determined student stepped off the traditional job for blind people in China, and now challenges a new life at university in Britain. Being a message therapist （按摩师）is a perfect job for many people with a visual disability, but for Zheng Jianwei, it was far from enough.
The 30-year-old former massage therapist gave up his hospital job in 2009to prepare for admission to graduate school. He took IELTS（雅思考试）, the language-fluency test necessary for university admission in the UK, in 2012 and scored 6.5 points. He was the first blind examinee to take the IELTS in the Southeast Chinese region.

He then turned to search for graduate school overseas. However, English became his nightmare. Zheng studied in special schools for visually challenged students since primary school, but foreign language was never a main subject.
Before giving up his job and learning English again in 2009, Zheng only knew the alphabet, a few words and some basic expressions. “Learning English again in my late 20s is not easy,” he says.
It took him three years of intensive study to gain entrance to a graduate school overseas. Because of the lack of study material, Zheng needs to spend hours and days looking for textbooks for the visually disabled and copying them, while it may take only five minutes for a sighted person to order a plain English textbook from Amazon.
In his parents’ eyes, Zheng has been a sensible, independent and decisive man from a young age. Zheng made all the major decisions by himself, including studying abroad and choosing majors. “We just follow his decisions, ” the mother says.
