Garrison had been treasuring his last piece． All he had left now was a sheet of the beautiful brown paper Pa had brought back from his last sailing trip．
"You've been quiet， " Pa said， "Could I see your picture？ "
Garrison handed over his sketch． Pa studied it， then looked at his son． "You're ten now， eh？ " Garrison nodded， hoping Pa wouldn't say that he was too old to be fooling around with pencils and paper．
"When I was ten， I wanted to work on my father's ship， " Pa said， "When Thomas was ten， he asked me to let him plant the corn． "
Garrison's throat （嗓子） tightened． "I know I'm not like either of you． " Pa looked at the drawing again．
"No， you are like both of us． You work hard， like Thomas． And you're like me， too． I have wandering feet， but you have a wandering mind． We need to see things differently．
Garrison frowned． "I'd rather love the land， like Thomas， or the sea…"
Pa patted his hand． "Thomas cares about our family very much﹣that's why he's worked so hard to bring us food． And my love for the sea makes good money． But there's more in life than food and money． There's happiness， for one． Does it make you happy to draw？ "
Garrison nodded．
"And it makes me happy to look at your drawings． Not many folks can catch happiness on a piece of paper． Some might say drawing's a waste of time， but they don't understand how things are． Why， asking you to stop drawing like asking Thomas to stop farming， or me to stop going to sea． It would be like asking us to stop breathing， wouldn't it？ "
Garrison considered this， then replied， "No， sir． Not quite like breathing． If I couldn't draw any more， it would be…like someone took away my voice． " He hung his head． In his mind he could hear Thomas laughing， "It's not like you ever speak up， anyway． "
But Pa patted his shoulder and said， "That would be a pure shame． Your voice is important， Garrison， whether it's out loud or on paper． And speaking of paper…" Pa smiled． "Take a look in my bag． "
Garrison reached into the bag and found a sketchbook． For a moment he was speechless happiness seemed to fill his body and stick in his throat． Then he managed to find his voice． "Oh， Pa﹣thank you． "

When we first moved here，we didn't have a garden.Mike and I talked about making a large vegetable garden somewhere in our yard，but we couldn't agree on where.Before we went ahead and dug up the grass，we spent some time thinking about where it would work best.At last，we chose an old sandbox（沙坑） in our front yard to become our garden.
We dreamed about a lively garden with lots of vegetables.We asked many people what we should do to turn this sandbox into a space，then plants can grow in it.And they gave us lots of ideas.My sister was the most knowledgeable，so we listened mostly to her.At first，Mike made a wood fence（栅栏）and I painted it with the kids.We chose a darker color because it would fit our light grey house.
Next，Mike dug 17 holes.Then we filled them with soil（土壤）.It was still too cold to plant anything，so for days I just stared out the window at these holes.To me，it looked much too untidy.I advised to fill those holes back and dig new ones.This time we ended up with 10.Much better.
Over the next few weeks，I worked on getting everything planted in my garden.I started by planting green onion.But I was too excited and planted it too early.Right away it was clear that it wasn't going to survive.I had to give it up and try something else.Then my next door neighbor gave me red roses to put in my garden.A few days later we went to a greenhouse and came back not with green onion but peppers，tomatoes and so on.Clearly the vegetable and flower garden was slowly becoming our dream garden.Oh well!
I love the way it turned out.This garden will always remind me of my sister.

"Why do I live？ Why do I wish for anything， or do anything？ Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death？" Like Leo Tolstoy， the famous Russian writer， many people ask these difficult questions． Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions．
As a young man， he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough． So he worked very hard to be the best in everything． He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success．
In 1850s． Tolstoy wrote his first stories． He wrote about his life in the army． He also told stories about his childhood． These works were published and Tolstoy became a well﹣known writer．
He earned the respect he always wanted． Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy． Some of them were writers like him． They talked a lot about faith （ 信仰） and the meaning of life． But soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect． Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith．
So in the 1860s， Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life． He opened a school for the children of his serfs﹣the people who worked on his land． These workers were very poor． He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew．
Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers． He understood how they worked hard to support their
families． He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning． So in 1862， Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs．
The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy's life． It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books﹣War and Peace and Anna Karenina． Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written． In these books， Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families． Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness．
Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today． His faith and writings have influenced many
people all over the world．

We never forget when Perronet came to us． It was on a spring afternoon．We never knew who drowned Perronet， but David pulled him out of the water and saved his life． People sometimes asked us what kind of dog he was， but we never knew， except that he was the nicest possible kind． Mother said we could not afford him because of the tax （税）and his keep． The tax was five shillings （先令）， but it was nearly a year before the time when it must be paid．At last， we decided that all three of us would give up sugar toward saving the cost of his keep． It was the hardest for David because he was fond of sweet things， but then， he was fond of Perronet． So we all gave up sugar， and Perronet was allowed to remain．
We were very happy that summer． The boys were especially happy． The only thing that vexed me was Perronet's tax money， for months and months went on and we didn't save it． One day， I found David alone with Perronet in his arms． He was crying， and feeding Perronet with cake． I can't bear to see boys cry． I begged of David to stop， and told him I should certainly think of something．
One day． we were all in school． The schoolmaster told us that there was to be a flower show for the school children this year， and that an old gentleman would give prizes to the best arranged wild flowers． There was to be a first prize of five shillings， and a second prize of a half crown， for the best collection of wild flowers， with their names upon them． I squeezed （挤）David's arm， and whispered， "Five shillings!"
I thought I could never get my lessons that day， for all day I was thinking about Perronet's tax money． At night， I said to them， "Look here! I'll make a collection of flowers． You two can make a collection of mosses （苔藓）． There are ten kinds of mosses by the river， and we have names of our own for them． "The boys agreed． Richard made me a box． We put wet sand at the bottom， then feather moss， and into that I stuck the flowers． I got all the flowers and all the grasses ready and printed the names on pieces of cardboard， to stick in with them． I did not like it when it was done，but Richard praised it and that cheered me．I thought their mosses were beautiful．
The day of the flower show was very hot． When we reached the tent， it was filled with grown﹣up people． It was very hard work getting about and trying to see the stands with flowers．We kept seeing tickets with "First Prize"and" Second Prize"． It made me feel sick with heat and anxiety， to think of them． We had walked slowly all round the tent． We had seen all the cucumbers， onions， lettuce， grapes， long potatoes， round potatoes， and everything else． At last we saw my collection! It had a big label on it， marked "First Prize"， and next to it came the boys' moss， marked " Second Prize"． We cried " Perronet is paid for!"

Dmitry Doronin，a doctoral student from Russia，is keen （热衷的）to share his experience in rural villages in Zhejiang with his 1.4 million followers online.
Since Dmitry started to live in the countryside last August，the 32 ﹣year﹣old has created hundreds of video clips that record the relaxing lifestyle in Hengzhang village，Lishui city."The rice is grown in the fields together with fish，which helps to increase local agricultural （农业的）products，" said Dmitry，while introducing products from Hengzhang village on the popular Chinese short﹣videos platform Douyin，Besides filming videos，Dmitry also enjoys working with farmers in the fields，doing activities such as planting vegetables and feeding chickens.

Like many high school graduates， Maggie Doyne didn't go straight to college． She decided to travel and arrived in western Nepal in 2006． A war had just ended there and left many children living on the streets． They were often forced
to work at hard physical jobs for little money．
One day， while walking down a country road， Doyne saw a little girl breaking up rocks． She soon learned that 7﹣year﹣old Hima sold the rocks to support her family． With deep sadness， she decided to pay Hima's tuition（学费） for school． Encouraged by the changes in the child， Doyne thought， "If we can help one child， why not 10？"
Doyne felt that the street children's greatest need was a home． She found a piece of land for sale and bought it with ＄5，000 she saved from years of babysitting （当临时保姆）． In 2008 the Kopila Valley Children's Home was set up． With the help from the community， another goal was reached in 2010﹣the Kopila Valley School． Over 350 children now attend the school and over 50 live in the home．

Mr． Reynolds， my teacher， hand us a list of thoughts， and asked us to write a paper on one of those thoughts． I chose the topic "I wonder why things are the way they are．"
I wrote down all the questions that puzzled（困扰）me about life． I realized that many of them were hard to answer， and perhaps others could not be answered at all． When I handed in my paper， I was afraid that I might fail because I did not answer the question．
The next day， Mr． Reynolds handed me the paper and asked me to read it for the class． The other students became quiet as I began to read my story：
Mum， why are the roses red？ Why is the grass green and the sky blue？ Why do I have to graduate（毕业）？ Why do I have to grow up？ Why do I have to be called "Grandma" ，one day？…
Dad， why can't I stay out until 12： 00？ Why do I miss my old friends？ Why do I miss being at home？ Why do you love me so much？．．
Mum， Dad， why did you have to leave me？ I need you．
At the end of my story， I looked at Mr． Reynolds， and I saw a tear slowly coming down his face．Then I realized that life is not built on the answers we receive， but on the questions we ask．
