We’ve heard about several “poor students” in the past year. Cui Qingtao, a student from Yunnan, working with his parents on a building site when he got an admission letter(录取通知书) from Peking University. 1.She is a student form Hebei. She was doing her part-time job in a different city when her family got her admission letter from Peking University.
2.For example, they are all strong and optimistic (乐观的). Li Enhui said in an interview, “As long as we are alive, there are no problems that cannot be solved, and many people don’t have my experiences. 3.” Such an idea makes many adults feel embarrassed. He refused to accept donation money and decided to make money by himself. This is also the common thing that “poor students” have.
Whatever kind of values you hold, such personalities( 品 格 ) are necessary for growth.4. Not everything goes well all the time. Only being strong and optimistic, can one go through difficulties. In fact, living in poor families doesn’t promise such good personalities, and living in happiness doesn’t promise optimistic attitudes(态度). We like such “poor students” because they are strong and optimistic.
For them, few can choose their lifestyles.5.That’s why they are highly praised. Every one of us should learn from them.
A.Life is full of ups and downs.
B.A girl named Wang Xinyi is another example.
C.“Poor students” are usually hard-working and caring.
D.And these experiences make me grow and become better.
E.Born in poor families, these students have a lot in common.
F.However, all of them can choose their attitudes towards life.
A great French writer has said that we should help everyone as much as we can because we often need help ourselves. The small even can help the great. About this, he told the following story.
An ant was drinking at a small river and fell in it. She tried her best to reach the side, but she couldn’t move at all. The poor ant got too tried but was still doing her best when a big bird saw her. With a pity the bird threw a piece of wood. With it the ant reached the bank again. While she was testing and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man coming up. He was walking without shoes on his feet and carrying a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the bird, he wished to kill her, and he would certainly do so, but the ant bit him in weaker and smaller than the bird herself that had saved her life.
