I hurried into the store to get Christmas gifts. Suddenly, I saw a little boy holding a lovely doll. He kept touching her hair. I watched him turn to a woman and say, "Are you sure I don't have enough money?" She said yes and told the boy not to go anywhere before she came back. Then she left.
The boy continued to hold the doll. I asked the boy who the doll was for. He said, "It's the doll that my sister wanted so badly for Christmas. She just knew that Santa would bring it." I told him that Santa was going to bring it. He said, "No, Santa can't go where my sister is. I have to give the doll to my mom to take it to her."
I asked him where his sister was. He looked at me sadly and said, "She's gone to heaven. My daddy said that Mom was going to be there with her." My heart nearly stopped beating. Then the boy said, "I told my daddy to tell her not to go there until I got back." He took out some pictures of him and said, "I want my mom to take these with her so she'll never forget me. I love my mom so much that I wish she didn't have to leave me, but Daddy said that she needed to be with my sister."
The boy lowered his head. While he was not looking, I reached into my purse and asked him, "Shall we count that money again?" He grew excited and said, "Yes, I just know it has to be enough." So I put my money with his and we began to count it. He said, "Thank you for giving me enough money." He continued, "I just asked God to give me enough money to buy this doll, and he heard my _ ."
Soon the woman came back and I left. I remembered a story I had read in the newspaper several days earlier about a drunk driver who hit a car. A little girl was killed and her mother was in serious condition. Two days later, I read the news that the mother had died.

Top student Lin Yijian had a problem recently. The 14-year-old boy from Xiamen used to get marks of over 110 points (out of 120 possible points) on his math tests. But during last semester's final exams, his math score was only 90 points.
It was a shock. "I didn't know what happened," said Lin, who kept feeling nervous and frustrated about math during the following month.
Like Lin, many of us have setbacks   in life. What would you do to deal with these setbacks? Would you just let them be and give up?
Lin chose to face his problem. His parents and teacher also gave him help. After some hard work he now gets marks between 100 and110 points on his math tests. Although he still isn't at his original   level, Lin doesn't panic anymore.
"Don't be scared by setbacks," he said. "You will beat it."

One has to do at least 35 sit-ups in a minute to pass the test. Most of Chen's classmates can do 40. However, Chen could only do 20.
Feeling worried, Chen decided to do something. She did sit-ups for half an hour every day after school. Now, after a month, she can do 30 sit-ups a minute.
"I finally found what made me slow through continuous practice and then improved little by little," said Chen. "I believe next month I will be able to do 40!"
