I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be _36_ Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, “What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d 37 ?” Just when I started to 38 that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women 39 at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of 40 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t 41 . Somebody had thought 42 of me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 43 Christmas there special and memorable, I 44 remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 45 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I 46 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies, 47 with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were 48 . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 49 them that they couldn’t open their presents 50 every child had come forward. Finally the 51 they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 52 up the room. The 53 in the room was obvious, and 54 wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling –the feeling I knew 55 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

Have you ever heard the old saying ,"Never judge a book by its cover" ?This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young people with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But don"t make mistake of thinking him stupid, with a pen and a paper, he can express himself better than anybody .
Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is sure to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class .
It all boils down to this: you can"t judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a person"s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situation you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don"t judge a book by its cover .

His first successful fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa. Then, as the first black president, he fought to unite the country and organize the government. Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS.
On March 19 the 82-year-old, former president, hosted his second AIDS-awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease.
Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted by the chief of his tribe and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life.
But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination(歧视). He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the country’s Racial Segregation Law, colored and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.
For his opposition to the system, Mandela was arrested and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and became the president of the country after the first election were held in which everyone could vote.
Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer and fought in the ring when he was young.
“Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one’s body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat”, he wrote in his autobiography.
As a skillful fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS. He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.
