Sally was a student. It was going to be her mother’s birthday. She wanted to buy her a gift that would be nice and useful but not expensive.
A week before her mother’s birthday， she went shopping after a quick and simple lunch. When she had been looking for half an hour， she found a shop that was selling cheap umbrellas， and decided to take a black one， since her mother had lost hers the month before.
She thought， “You could carry that when you are wearing clothes of any color.” So she decided to buy a lovely black umbrella and took it back to school with her until her classes had finished.
On her way back home in the train that evening， she felt hungry because she had such a small lunch that she went along to the buffet car（餐车） for another sandwich and cup of coffee. She had left the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment（车厢）， but when she got back， it had gone! When she had left the compartment， there had been no other passengers in it， but now there were three.
Sally began to cry when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the matter was. She told them that the black umbrella she had bought for her mother was gone， and that she had to get out at the next station. After the three other passengers heard it， they asked her for her mother’s address so that they could sent the umbrella to her if someone had taken it by mistake and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.
The next week， Sally heard from her mother. It said， “Thank you very much for your lovely gifts， but why did you send me three black umbrellas?”

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation (手术) could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money. When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother， “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now，” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. She ran to a drugstore（药店）with the money in her hand.
“And what do you want?” asked the salesman.
“It’s for my little brother，” the girl answered. “He’s really， really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”
“Pardon?” said the salesman.
“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell a miracle here， child. I’m sorry，” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen， if it isn’t enough， I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked， “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know，” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it， so I have brought all my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man.
“$ 1.11， but I can try and get some more，” she answered.
“Well， what luck，” smiled the man. “$ 1.11， the price of a miracle for little brothers.” He took up the girl’s hand and said， “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”

The resignation（辞职）letter of Gu Shaoqiang， a teacher from Henan， “The world is so big； I want to see it.” is very popular in the Internet. Many people say that it spoke the minds of millions of people who feel they have been in a boring and normal life and want to do something different to change it. Whatever the teacher may be able to achieve with her life， it is meaningful for people to make their dream come true.
So， what is your opinion? Should we praise（表扬）the teacher for resigning and following her dreams?
Yes---All of us have dreams that can’t come true right now.
First， Too many people waste their lives by doing things they don’t love simply because it is what people expect them to do. They are not happy and they also affect（影响） people around them. The earlier they can break free， the more meaning they can make out of their lives.
Second， It is a waste of people’s talents and social resources（资源） if they don’t get to do the things they are most talented at. Some people don’t want to be white-collar workers all their lives. They should have the freedom to change their lives.
Third， As our country develops so fast， people have greater freedom to change their lives as long as they put in the time and effort. The teacher is a good example.
No---People can’t change their lives overnight.
First， “Seeing the world” is not good enough an excuse to leave one’s job and life. This kind of attitude could actually be a bad example for young people.
Second， Everyone has a place in society and life. People may not have achieved their wildest or most ambitious dreams， but where they end up is the result of their and society’s decisions. Unless they offer to make lots of efforts and sacrifices， people can’t change their lives overnight.
Third， The reason why the teacher gave up her job is too unclear. It is too irresponsible.

A. It is just an excuse to run away from the job and life.
B. Everyone has a social place and each should makes efforts to change lives step by step.
C. If someone wants to leave the job， it is polite and necessary to tell your reasons instead of one piece of easy sentence.
