Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Manitoba, Canada. One day, when she was five years old, she was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg. They saw a man eating out of a garbage can. She asked her mother why he did that, and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry. Hannah was very _______. She couldn't understand why some people had to live their lives without shelter or enough food. Hannah started to think about how she could ________, but of course, there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve the problem of homelessness.

Later, when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was a woman _______ an old shopping trolley (購物車) which was piled with bags. It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them. This made Hannah very sad, and even more ______ to do something. She had been talking to her mother about the lives of homeless people since they first saw the homeless man. Her mother told her that if she did something to change the problem that made her sad, she wouldn't feel as bad.

Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness in Manitoba and then in other provinces. She hoped to _______ her message of hope and awareness. She started the Ladybug Foundation, an organization aiming at getting rid of homelessness. She began to host "Big Bosses" lunches where she would try to persuade local business leaders to _______ to the cause. She also organized a fund raising drive in "Ladybug Jars" to collect everyone's spare change during "Make Change" month. More recently, the foundation began another activity called National Red Scarf Day—a day when people donate $20 and wear red scarves in support of Canada's hungry and homeless.

There is an emergency shelter in Winnipeg called "Hannah's Place", something that she is very ______ of. Hannah Places is divided into several areas, providing shelter for people when it's so cold that sleeping outdoors can mean death. In the more than five years since Hannah began her activities, she has received a lot of ________. For example, she received the 2007 BRICK Award recognizing the _______ of young people to change the world.

The Sixth Time I Went to the Principal’s Office

When I was in the seventh grade, I had problems behaving. My heart was in the right place, but I

couldn’t always follow the rules. I played many tricks on my schoolmates. Once, I even pulled a girl’s hair

on the school bus to get her attention. As a result, I was repeatedly sent to the office of the principal（校長）.

Although I hated going there, I did not hate the principal, Mr. Ratcliff.

Mr. Ratcliff was a kind, elderly man. When he spanked（ 打屁股） me for putting some ants into a

classmate’s pencil box, it didn’t hurt at all, but it did hurt my feelings. I thought so much of him and

moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad.

When I got called to Mr. Ratcliff’s office for the sixth time, I had no idea what I had done. I felt

disappointed as I walked down there. I went into his office, sat down, and looked at the floor. Then he said

the last thing I expected to hear:” Kevin, I’ve heard you’ve been behaving really well lately. I want you to

know how proud I am of you, and I just called you down to my office to give you a peppermint.”

“Really?” I was surprised.

“Yes. Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class.”

I carried the peppermint with me as if it was a gold coin. When I got into my classroom, I bragged （ 吹噓） to my classmates about my turnaround,excitedly. I wasn’t so bad after all.

Mr. Ratcliff was really kind. He made me realize that I was just a kid who had problems with behavior.He bought some peppermints and took the time to notice me when I got something-anything-right. Mr.Ratcliff gave me some hope by giving me some love. I will just remember him for the rest of my life.
