He Jiang，a postgraduate（研究生）in biology，will become the first Chinese student to give a speech in the commencement（毕业典礼） at Harvard University on May 26，2016．
Given the highest honor by the university．He Jiang，who was born in a small village in Hunan province，said，"People in China often believe that it's useless to study and children from the countryside cannot be successful in the future．However，I cannot agree with them．Education can change a person's life．I hope my experience can encourage the students from the countryside to spare no effort in studyand make their dream come turn．"
Different from many other families in the village，his parents never though about finding a job in big cities and leaving their two sons at home without their care．His farther was strict about their studies．He and his younger brother studies at home while the other kids in the village played in the fields．Unlike his strict farther，his mother took her sons'side when her husband scolded the boys．She preferred to sit with her sons when they studied rather than chat with other women in the village．
Getting the chance to speak at commencement is no accident．During his first days in Harvard，it was quite difficult for him to follow the professor in class and he was speechless in campus because of his poor English．Instead of giving up．He Jiang spent all his free time on English．He also make friends with natives to improve his speaking English．One year later，he had little difficulty in class and soon became one of the top students in his class．With the encouragement from Professor Diana Eck，He Jiang decided to apply（申请） for the chance to speak at the commencement．"Few Chinese students had applied before，but I wanted to have a try．I just want to realize my idea of letting more people hear the voice from China and telling them that China is not what it used to be．"said He Jiang．After beating three students from Harvard Kennedy School in the third and final round，He Jiang made it to get the chance to speak at the commencement．

Derek Redmond
It was the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992; the semi-final of the 400 metres. The sun was shining and the crowd were ready for a great race. The British athlete Derek Redmond was a top runner: he had a very good chance of winning a medal.
The race began. At first, Derek was running well. Then, after about 150 metres, he felt a pain in his leg. He fell down on one knee. He had a bad injury and couldn't carry on. The other runners went past him and finished the race.
After about five seconds, Derek got up and started to run again, on one leg only. Some organizers tried to stop him but he kept going. The crowd stood up and started to clap. Then another man came onto the track-Derek's father, Jim. His father put his arm around him and said, "Derek, you don't have to do this." Derek replied, "Yes, I do. I have to finish." And so together they walked the last 50 metres and crossed the line.
When he finally crossed the line, Derek was crying and 60,000 people were cheering him.

In 1988，Wang Chengbang retired（退休）from the army.Instead of enjoying a relaxing life，he volunteered to save the soil from desertification（沙漠化）by planting trees in Korla，Xinjiang.
It is no easy job.The high temperature in Korla makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine.Besides，water is a big problem.In fact，Wang Chengbang's work in the first few years failed as very few trees survived（存活）.
But Wang Chengbang would not give up."After trying many different ways，I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way，" said Wang Chengbang.He also worked out new ways to save water.With his hard work，more and more trees have survived.So far，he has planted more than 1.5 million trees.Those green trees prevent desertification，make the air cleaner and protect people from the hot sun.Now，Korla is a model city in environmental protection.
Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer（癌症）.In 2005，he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live.However，he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed."Working is the best medicine.Planting trees helps to fight cancer，" he often jokes.

Still in shock!I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases （行李箱）．Earlier that evening，I'd received a call telling me that my brother was killed in a car crash．"Come as soon as you can．"cried my mother．
I wanted to hurry to her at once．But my husband，Larry，and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle．Our house was in total mess．Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table．Toys lay everywhere．I purposelessly picked things up and put them down．Mother's crying went through my head again and again．
Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened．Someone asked to speak to me．"If there's anything I can do，let me know．"But I didn't know what to ask for．
Suddenly，the doorbell rang．It was Emerson．He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby．
"I've come to clean your shoes，"he said．
I asked him to repeat．
"Donna had to stay with the baby，"he said，"but we want to help you．I remember when my father died，it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral （葬礼）．Give me all your shoes．"
I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen．Emerson got to work right away．Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order．I told myself to wash clothes first．Then，Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed．One job after another．
When we returned to clear the dishes，Emerson had left．All our shoes stood in a line against the wall，clean，shining．I couldn't help crying．Early next morning，we left for the airport with all the jobs done．
Now whenever I hear of a friend who's lost a loved one，I no longer call with the polite offer，"If there's anything I can do …"Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man's need，like taking the dog to the boarding kennel，or house﹣sitting during the funeral．If the person asks，"How did you know I needed that one？"I reply，"Because a man once cleaned my shoes．"

In 1990，Ed Viesturs started for the top of Mount Everest （29，029 feet） from a high camp at 27，000 feet．He planned to climb it without oxygen tank，something only a few climbers had managed to do．He'd failed twice，once getting with 300 feet of the top before turning back．
He left his high camp at 1a．m．，using a headlamp to find his way in the dark．He'd already been on the mountain for two months，receiving endurance and strength training in preparation for the Everest climb．He'd also lived through terrible cold，strong winds，and separation from friends and family．
"The common practice was to use oxygen when climbing，as it，in fact，lowers the altitude （海拔） of the mountain by several thousand feet，"says Viesturs．"If I couldn't climb Everest without oxygen tank，I wouldn't climb it．"
"You have to be physically fit，"he says．"But the mental （精神的） part is big．It's so hard to keep going above 20，000 feet．"
While making that final climb on Everest，he breathed 15times for every step．He would tell himself to first reach the rock 100 yards ahead．Then he'd find another rock，then another．Finally he stood on the top，with the whole world at his feet．"It was one of those dream﹣come﹣true moments，"Viesturs says．
Today，Viesturs makes his living in part as a speaker，talking about his climb of Everest and of the world's 13other highest mountain，all without oxygen．He helps people find the strength to overcome their difficulties．

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．
