She was three, just came back from a hospital after brain surgery (脑部手 术) with no hair. I was happy to see her back. My little “Mr. Clean” and I went to the shopping mall.
“Daddy, can I get a gift?” “OK, but just one,” I said. I asked her what she wanted. Without thinking twice, she said “An ice-cream comb(梳子) from the ice-cream store.”
At the end of the road, she found something new－a big fountain(喷泉）.“Daddy, can I make a wish?” she jumped with joy. “Sure honey, but that will be your gift you know,” I told her. She agreed.
I put a coin in her hand. She closed her eyes and made her wish. “Can you tell Daddy what you wished for?” She answered, “I wished I could get an ice- cream comb.” Finally, she got her wish, and two gifts.
I knew that my beautiful girl would soon be on a long road of surgeries, special schools, endless treatments and end up paralyzed(麻痹) on her right side.
Today, she is almost seventeen. She can't use her right hand and walks with a limp(跛行). But each year she shows improvement. She is planning a job in early childhood education. With one year before finishing high school, she and I planned all the subjects she would need to take in college. It was her idea. You see that “giving up” was never a choice to her.

It was Mary’s birthday. She got a letter from her uncle who was a farmer.
“Dear Mary,” the letter said. “Happy Birthday. I am sending you some chickens as your birthday present. They will arrive tomorrow. I hope you like them. Best wishes, Uncle Toby.
Mary was very pleased. She liked eating eggs and she liked eating chicken. “I can keep the chickens for their eggs or eat them,” she thought. When the chickens arrived the next day, they were in the box. Mary was very excited. She took the box off the back of the truck and began to carry it into her garden. However, the box of chickens was heavy and she dropped it. The box fell to the ground and broke. The chickens all ran out. They ran everywhere－into neighbors' gardens, into the road, into shops, even into the next street. Mary spent hours trying to find them and take them back to her garden.
A few days later her uncle came to visit her. “Did the chickens arrive safely?" he asked Mary. “Yes, Uncle Toby,” Mary said. “But I had a lot of trouble with them. I dropped the box. It broke open and the chickens ran everywhere. I spent the whole morning looking for them." “Did you find them all?” her uncle asked. “I hope so,” Mary replied. “I caught eleven of them.” “That's very interesting,” her uncle said with a smile, “because I only sent you six.

James Blunt’s life was unexpected. The 44-year-old British singer became known to us all because of the song You’re Beautiful. Chinese fans have already got a taste of his live show, as he performed in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing early last month.
However, you may know nothing about Blunt but music. Before taking up music as a job, Blunt once served in the British Army and got the rank of captain(上尉军衔). That’s why people call him the “captain poet”.
He served in the army known as Life Guards. What he had to do is to protect the royal (皇室) family on important days. He once joked that the most famous person he knew was Queen Elizabeth. He said: “I don’t have her personal phone number or anything, but I was with her a lot.”
Before becoming a captain, he also went to Kosovo(科索沃) to play a part in peacekeeping there. He took his guitar with him. “Wherever you are in the army, you take something to keep your life enjoyable. Some bring cards to play, some a football. I took a guitar,” Blunt told The Herald- Times.
His wartime experience drove him to write. When he was in Kosovo, he wrote the anti-war (反战) song No Bravery. Even to this day, he still speaks for the old soldiers, those who hurt (受伤) themselves during the war.
James Blunt’s music life started after he came back from war. From the terrible streets of Kosovo to the biggest live music halls in the world, Blunt has come a long way.
1.What makes James Blunt become known to us all?
______________________________________________
2.Why did James Blunt go to Kosovo?
______________________________________________

______________________________________________
4.Did James Blunt’s music life start before he served in the army?
