She received her spiritual (精神的) training in Ireland and Darjeeling, India. She was born with the name Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, but in 1931, she took the name of Teresa from the French nun (修女) Thesse Martin. Mother Teresa taught for 20 years in Saint Marys High School in India. She loved the country so much that she became a citizen of India in 1948. She began her work in India by teaching the children in the streets how to read. In 1946, she decided to serve the poorest of the poor who lived in the streets. In 1950, Mother Teresa also began to care for lepers (麻风病患者). In 1965, Pope Paul VI allowed Mother Teresa to open centers almost everywhere around the world to help lepers, the elderly, the blind, and people with AIDS. Mother Teresa also opened schools and homes for the poor. Her work was a message of love. It shows that a true belief always appears with action. It also shows that love in action is service. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, but she accepted it on behalf of the "poorest of the poor". In August 1997, she ended her services and moved on, perhaps to another world. She will always be remembered by all of us for all of her hard work.( )44.

Will they be friends or young people you havent met before? Perhaps you will tell it to younger children. Or, will it be an audience (听众) of adults? Will it be just a few people, a small group, or a large audience? Why Are You Telling It? There are many reasons for telling a story. Knowing why you are telling it may be the most helpful reason in choosing a story for a particular audience. Many storytellers just want to have fun. They tell jokes or silly stories. Others want to teach something, such as how to be more kind to animals, the environment, or other people. One storyteller likes to encourage his listeners to try new things. Some babysitters tell stories to help children not to be afraid of thunder (雷), lightning or frightening shadows in their rooms. Others want to make people think or to help people remember. Some like to scare their audience with ghost (鬼) stories. Where Will You Speak? How you tell your story and what story helpers you use will depend on where you will be speaking.

I grew up without knowing what a father was and no one was there to teach me how to behave and how to tell right from wrong. Because of this, I developed problems with alcohol and spent seven years as a boy in the street, before ending up in a rehab clinic(康复诊所) when I was 20. Inside I met my counselor(辅导员), Bill, and he taught me a lot of things. The main thing was the gift of giving. It was the night before an important test and I was very nervous. Bill saw this and suggested that we should go out for a walk. As we walked and talked, Bill suggested we should go for a coffee. I told him I was broke, and when I got paid, I would pay him back. He stopped then and looked at me in a serious but loving way and said, "No, you wont." He told me that I didnt owe (欠) him anything and he was doing this because he wanted to. He then told me something that has followed me to this day, "One day youll be around someone and theyll need a coffee, and youll be able to buy it for them. Thats how you can pay me back." Im a primary school teacher now, far away from the life I had ten years ago. My job is simple and I buy young people coffee now. Bill taught me how to do that.( )52.

He was a great mathematician and was famous for the Theory of Relativity (相对论). He explained it by using the example of a tall building. Imagine that you are in a tall building and you are coming down using the elevator. You dont realize you are falling because you are able to do everything that you can normally do, such as playing with a ball and talking. At the same time, the people outside will be able to see you falling, but you may think that those people are moving upward. It all depends on your point of view, which direction you are going in, and how fast you are moving. Why was Einstein so clever? Was there something special about his brain? Scientists have examined Einsteins brain carefully and found that the part of the brain that has to do with visual imaging and mathematical thinking was enlarged. However, this does not altogether explain his greatness. In his childhood, Einstein s parents allowed him to develop his curiosity (好奇心). His uncle also encouraged him a lot. It was very good for his development. He was also a gifted musician but was not very interested in getting any formal training
