next to a young man who seemed worried. Finally the young man told the friend that he was a prisoner
returning home from a faraway prison. His behavior had brought shame on his family, and they had neither
visited him nor written. He hoped, however, that this was only because they were too poor to travel and too
busy to write.
When he was set free, he had written to tell them he wanted to go home. To make matters easy for them,
however, he had asked them to put up a signal for him when the train passed their little farm. If the family had
forgiven him, they were to put up a white ribbon in the big apple tree near the railway. If they didn"t want him
to be back, they were to do nothing, and he would stay on the train, and go far away.
As the train got near his hometown, his suspense became so great that he was afraid to look out of the
window. He asked Michael to watch for the big apple tree. They changed seats. In a minute, Michael put his
hand on the young convict"s shoulder. "There it is," he said, his eyes filled with sudden tears. "It"s all right.

got this valuable advice from my father, "Do whatever interests you, and don"t let the work challenge you,
make sure you are challenging that work."
I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems. I clearly
remember building a shipping program several years ago. I divided the whole project into several small
sections. When I understood it clearly, used my brainstorming skill on it, and gave some basic ideas. Then
I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding. At first, I did not know how to ask questions
correctly and always asked the question "How do I do it?" As I kept working and discussed with my professor,
I became more comfortable and those"How" questions soon turned into "What if I do this and that" types o
f questions.
It took me four days to write the code. The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights
brainstorming in even greater details. Every time I saw my program running smoothly, I exploded with joy.
I still remember the last day of my work. I was getting some problem and didn"t know what to do. At that
moment, a man came in to clean. He has headphones, and he was dancing while cleaning the room. Seeing
this, I burst out laughing. That moment calmed me. I regained energy and interest and started to work again,
and soon I fixed the problem.
My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a
possible solution. Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial. Now I have gained the
confidence to attempt any kind of project.
B. doing challenging projects
C. winning great prizes
D. writing different codes
B. he was too shy to express himself
C. he wanted to he understood easily
D. he preferred this kind of question
B. was done together with others
C. was difficult and needed patience
D. cost much money and energy
B. No Pains, No Gains
C. Learning with interest
D. Practice Makes Perfect

mister, please... I"m sorry! I didn"t know what else to do!" begged the boy. "I threw the brick 9 no one

I was just about to tell her what I was coming for when two men arrived with a wheelchair, 5 me in it and pushed me down the hall. "I"m not 6 ," I shouted. "I"m just looking for a friend."
