When Dean Arnold got his first job, he was miserable (痛苦的), Each time he went to work, he coughed and he couldn't breathe. Working in a bakery(面包房) when you are allergic to (对…过敏) flour can be painful.
But Arnold stayed with the National Biscuit Company for ten years. He was a businessman and he helped them improve production. At last his health problems became too serious. He left and formed his own company.
With his wife and mother, he founded Arnold Bakery. They tried new recipes (配方). changing the kind and amount of flour used. This enabled Arnold to work there without too much pain. The bread, made with unbleached flour (标准粉), was baked in a brick oven (烘炉).
They began by baking two dozen loaves. The bread was sold door to door for fifteen cents a loaf. Winning customers to his unusual, old-fashioned bread took time. But Arnold, struggling against his allergy, built his bakery into one of the largest in the United States.

I asked my dad if I'd ever made him cry before because I couldn't remember ever seeing him cry.
"There was once," he said.
He told me that when I was 1 year old, he put a pen, a piece of paper money, and a toy in front of me. He wanted to see which one I would pick. It's a tradition that a lot of Chinese people do when their kids are 1 year old. According to this tradition. it shows what the kid will value (重视) most when they grow up. For example, if the kid takes the pen, it means he or she will be a smart person in the future. If the kid takes the' money, it means he or she will value money more than others and will become rich. If the kid takes the toy, it means he or she will like fun things and play a lot.
My father was just doing it for fun. It was interesting for him to see which one I'd pick anyway. He said that I just sat there and stared at the three things. He sat across from me and waited to see the result. According to him, I moved toward him and he held his breath. Then I pushed (推开) everything aside and went right into his arms. He had never thought that I would choose him. And that was the first and only time I made him cry.
Can one paper bag change the world? Sarah Murphy believes it can and she tries to do something about it.
The seventh grader from the United States, decorates(装饰) lunch bags for the homeless.
She wants to bring hope to those people. She fills each bag with a lunch and gives them away to homeless people in the town, through a charity program.
Sarah Murphy has a great interest in charity. She used to donate money to charities at her school. Then she heard about the charity program from her friends. So she wanted to do something special, too.
To attract the help of more children, she reached out to a local library and made a program. They set up a coloring station in the library. Children may take a bag, draw and write a message of hope. They can leave it on the front desk. They can also take it home and return it after coloring.
In the past three months, Sarah Murphy has bought 100 brown lunch bags and put them in the library. Children at the library have colored them. She will happily buy more. She once joined a summer reading program with the theme "Build A Better World". Sarah Murphy believes what she does could make a difference. She also believes that love and kindness would make the world a better place.
