Born to Swim
Molly sat in the back seat of the car nervously. Her mom and Uncle Connor were talking about the days when they competed in school sports.
“Your mom was a great 1 , Molly,” said Uncle Connor. “She wasn’t as fast as you are, but she was so graceful(优雅的) in the water. As soon as your mom 2 the water, she was a fish. I’m sure you got your talent from her.”
Molly smiled and thought about her mom swimming as easily and gracefully as a fish. For a moment, she even 3 that they were on the way to her first swim competition of the season. “What about you, Uncle Connor?” she asked.
Uncle Connor laughed. “Your uncle sinks(下沉) like a rock,” said Molly’s mom. “He knows how to swim, because I taught him myself, but it isn’t 4 to watch.”
Before Molly knew it, they were arriving at the school. Her mom gave her a quick kiss. “We’ll see you after the 5 , Miss Molly,” Uncle Connor said. “Just do your best.”
Molly took a deep breath as she headed over to her coach(教练) and teammates. When she was 6 , she talked to herself. You can do it. Just stay calm, and stay focused.

Molly 7 she could hear the voices of her mom and uncle in the crowd. She increased the speed of her strokes and 8 felt her hand touch the blue tile (瓷砖) on the wall.

A Powerful Team
This is a story of two friends—one is blind; the other has no arms. Although the two are “disabled”, they are a powerful team together. They have changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich, green forest.
Their story began in 2000. Haixia was blind in his right eye. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident. Neither could find a job, so they decided to team up. They rented(租) some poor land and began to plant trees.
Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would create an environmental paradise(天堂). Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. It also saves the village from river flooding(洪水泛滥) during the rainy season.
When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their workplace. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches(树枝) from trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and picks up the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and plants it carefully. Finally Wenqi waters the tree.
The two men don’t make much money but they are proud of themselves and they still work hard. As Wenqi says, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.”
Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. As a team, they already have everything they need—a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!
