24、

Joy began noticing when he was in kindergarten that he looked different from his classmates. They had two hands. He had one.

It started when one boy laughed at him. He asked his mother, “Why am I different?”

“He actually told us he was mad for making him that way,” his mother Lewis says. How could she provide answers to her son’s question when she’d never found those answers herself?

A few weeks later, Lewis came home and turned on the TV to a news story about a fourteen-year-old boy, Jim. He had become famous after posting videos of his dunks (扣篮), and like Joy, he was missing most of his left arm. Lewis called Joy in. He was riveted, watching dunks again and again.

At the time, it seemed that watching Jim would simply be an exciting moment for Joy. And had it stayed just that, Lewis would have been happy. But little did she know that a friend had already asked the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Jim to build Joy’s confidence.

The boys met at Washington Middle School a couple of months later. Jim talked about their left arms. He told Joy that the way he was made was perfect. He wouldn’t let anyone discourage him and no words would shake his confidence.

Since that meeting, Lewis has seen a great difference in her son. He recently started wrestling (摔跤运动) and loved it. The meeting made Joy understand that there are others like him.

As for Jim, his relationship with Joy made him look forward to helping more kids.

“Honestly, it means a lot to know that I changed Joy’s life,” Jim says. Still, he never dreamed that his videos would have such an influence. “I just thought my friends would see my videos and know I dunked it!”

26、Stonehenge is an ancient circle of stones in the south of England. It was built about 5,000 years ago. Every year, it attracts thousands of tourists to enjoy its beauty. They also wonder about how and why it was built.

       There are about 80 stones and each is about five meters tall. The stones were 380 kilometers away from where they were made. The ancient people had only wooden tools. To move the stones they probably used tree trunks to roll them along. So it was a wonder to build Stonehenge. Scientists say it took millions of man-hours to move and raise the heavy stones. How did people move these huge pieces of stone from the place so far? No one knows the answer. One record said the great stones were carried to England by huge magical aliens! But we don’t know.

       Some scientists believe that Stonehenge was a temple. Some believe it was a place to bury dead people or perhaps it was used to study the stars and the sky at night. Others think it was even used to tell the time. Whatever the stones were used to do, they have always been the pride of British people.
