It’s been several years since Super Ewan started his task. Every month, he still visits the same park to hand out clothes, food, and supplies to people who are hungry or homeless—his Super Friends. 【5】“No matter what happens,” Ewan says, “I will always keep helping people.”

22、March 8 marks the annual International Women’s Day. Around the world, women usually played a not well-known role in history. They were often buried with their unknown talents and amazing tales. Yet there are still some lucky ones whose stories have been recorded. Here are six talented ancient Chinese women who once impressed in their time, and still affect us in our time.
Praised as the “No.1 talented woman”, Li Qingzhao, a poet from the Song Dynasty, was born in Shandong province. She excelled at poetry and in ink painting and calligraphy (书法). Li was most well-known for her poems, which were divided into two contrasting styles reflecting her life as a married woman and a widow. Before her husband’s death, her poems were mainly about a carefree and happy life. The keynote turned into a sad tune after her husband passed away. However, Li was not a narrow-minded woman. Apart from expressing feminine (女性的) feelings and experiences, she also wrote poems praising war heroes and criticizing the corrupted emperor. As an example of female patriot, Li has a great effect on modern women’s literature.
Cai Wenji was good not only at poetry and calligraphy, but also mathematics, astronomy, debate and music. Her masterpieces were Hu Jia Shi Ba Pai. As the daughter of literatus Cai Yi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai had a very unusual life. After her first husband died, she was forced to marry Xiongnu tribe’s king. Living in a totally different environment, Cai was very homesick. Twelve years later, Cao Cao, a student of Cai Yi, rescued Cai from the Xiongnu tribe. At the age of 35, Cai got married for a third time in a union arranged by Cao to a man named Dong Si.
Ban Zhao was the first female historian in China. She was also good at writing poems, yet only seven of her works have survived. Ban was often invited by the emperor to teach the queen mathematics, astronomy and poetry. She was honored as Da Gu, a title for knowledgeable and noble women. At the age of 40, Ban finished Han Shu, based on her brother’s writings. A total of four people wrote the book, and Ban, as the last writer, faithfully kept the style of the first three. Ban Zhao also wrote Nv Jie, a book to teach women how to deal with relationships with their husbands and husbands’ relatives and how to properly behave.
Shangguan Wan’er was famous for being given an important position by the only female emperor, Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. Despite Shangguan’s grandfather being killed for offending Wu, she was highly praised by the female emperor for her literary talent. She served as a key secretary to Wu and was called “a female prime minister” at the time. Shangguan changed court poetry so that it used more meaningful expressions than empty praise, and further developed her style based on her grandfather’s poems.
Su Hui was known for a handkerchief she made. It was embroidered (刺绣) with 841 characters that could form 7,958 poems. Named Xuan Ji Tu, the handkerchief was originally made by Su to send to her husband, Dou Tao. Su waited for her husband to come back after Dou’s exile (流放), yet Dou had an affair with another woman. Sad and angry, Su created the poems on a handkerchief in red, yellow, blue, white, black and purple silk thread and sent it to her husband. Dou was deeply moved by the poems, felt guilty for his behavior and reunited with Su.
When Xue Tao’s name was mentioned, people would think of the famous Xue Tao Jian, a sort of small-size colorful writing paper. It is recorded that Xue Tao created this colored paper to write poems. During her time, writing paper was yellow, yet Xue changed the simple color into different shades of red or green. Later, people made similar colorful paper and named them “Xue Tao Jian”. Xue had talent for poetry and music. Her poems were not limited to those private feminine feelings and emotions; she also expressed her empathy (共鸣) to soldiers on the frontier.

23、A 16-year-old Kansas boy will soon earn his high school diploma (文凭) and a few days later, he’ll travel to Harvard to collect his bachelor’s degree. The senior named Braxton Moral will attend both grand ceremonies in May, becoming the only student to successfully pursue a four-year high school degree and a bachelor’s degree from Harvard at the same time. The Hutchinson News reported he seemed famous overnight and many people were surprised at what he has achieved.
Harvard has changed the rules, said Braxton’s father, Carlos Moral, so his son will be the one and the only young one who can reach that milestone. And Braxton will be 17 when he gets his diplomas. His father also said the Ulysses school district allowed him to take some high school classes while he was still in middle school. Before high school, he had taken a class offered at Fort Hays State University. Then he was admitted into Harvard. Braxton studied at the high school and the Harvard Extension School simultaneously. The Harvard program typically serves the adults who work and can’t attend classes on campus full time. Therefore, it is the first time that a high school student has done it successfully. Ulysses High School math teacher Patsy Love served as the proctor for the Harvard program in Kansas, so he was responsible for Braxton’s tests and grades.
“We constantly are monitoring Braxton to make sure he is not too stressed,” said Julie Moral, Braxton’s mother. “No achievement is worth him being unhappy. However, we still let him do his own things, including making plans for the studies of different levels.”

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

25、I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I’m left _________. Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other _________?
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, when children from different races and religions played and studied together in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s throw from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just _________ our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well meant or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we’d _________ the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to come across the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his _________.
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail’s family later returned to their village, and I _________ touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I _________ my destination. The driver acknowledged my _________ but did not move off. Instead, he looked fixedly at me. “Raddar?” he said, using my childhood nickname. I was astonished at being so _________ addressed (称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two decades we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something __________ to describe.
If we can allow our children to be themselves without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be by their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and then we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “We happy few. We band of brothers”.
