Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.
One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn't until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali's running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes. The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided （碰撞） with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.

One sunny day, I drove to the airport and was waiting to pick up a friend. That day I had one of those experiences that change people's lives.
It happened just two feet away from me. I was sitting on a bench and looked around the big waiting hall. Just then I noticed a man, carrying two bags, coming toward me. He stopped next to me. There stood his family, the wife and three lovely kids. He greeted them, with a big smile on his face.
First of all, he laid down his bag and came closer to his younger son（about six years old）. They gave each other a warm, loving hug. Then the father looked in his son's eyes with words, "I missed you so much. It's so good to see you, Son!" The boy smiled and said, "Me too, Dad."
Then the man talked to his older son（nine or ten years old）."Oh, you are quite the young man. I love you very much!" and cupped his face. Then they had the most tender hug too.
Afterwards the father said, "Hi, baby girl" to his baby daughter. She was moving excitedly in her mother's arm and watching her returning father all the time. The man gently took his little daughter, quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his chest. The little girl laid her head on his shoulder in pure contentment.
After several moments, the man put down the baby daughter slowly. He turned to his wife and looked at her gently and said, "I've saved the best for last."He shared with her the most passionate kiss. They stared at each other, having big smiles. They reminded（使想起）me of newlyweds（新婚夫妇）.

Slowly, I started to see some students were interested and a few of them promised to give it a try.
Our rehearsals(排练)were intense . filled with laughter, and sometimes frustration. We tried our best to perfect our harmonies and cooperation, but deep down, we still held onto the belief that we would probably end up at the bottom of all the choirs. In that moment of despair, a boy from our choir whispered, " Are we just asking for humiliation(羞耻)?" The words made our doubts and fears stronger. But right before it was our tur to step onto the stage, Mrs. Wood, our music teacher, brought us together in a tight group. She looked into our eyes and said firmly, " We are not here to impress; we are here to express. " Her words made all the difference.
