I received a devastating blow to my self-confidence in the first interview of my college years. I applied to be a host in our Student Acting Troupe and felt confident that I would be accepted. But one of the panel members told me: "You seem inadequate and you are a little vertically-challenged." My life has never been the same since. I used bigger heels to complement my height and psychological maneuvers and tricks to hide my lack of confidence. But no matter how hard I tried to look the part, there was still something missing.
As president of English Club, I organized the rehearsal of Snow White for an English party. Unfortunately, we could not find an actor to be the last dwarf. It had to be someone who was humorous by nature and fluent in English. Suddenly, all eyes turned to me, and I knew I would have to be the dwarf. To my great surprise and delight, once on stage, I was totally absorbed in the performance and my humorous nature was put to full use. As the dwarf, I was a big hit.
Yes, each of us is only one among millions of others, but each of us is an individual and each of us is unique. Cultivating our individuality will transform our lives, making of them a kaleidoscope of new colors and textures.
Julie was saying her bedtime prayers。 "Please God，" she said， "make Naples the capital of Italy。 Make Naples the capital of Italy。"
Her mother interrupted and said。 "Julie， why do you want God to make Naples the capital of Italy?"
And Julie replied， "Because that's what I put in my geography exam!"

妈妈打断她的话说：“朱莉叶，为什么求上帝让那不勒斯成为意大利的首都呢?”
朱莉叶回答道：“因为我在地理考卷上是这样写的。”

鸟窝与头发
我姐姐是一位小学老师。一次一个学生告诉她说一只鸟儿在教室外 的树上垒了个窝。
“是什么鸟呢?”我姐姐问她。
“我没看到鸟儿，老师，只看到鸟窝。”那孩子回答说。
“那么，你能给我们描述一下这个鸟巢吗?”我姐姐鼓励她道。
“哦，老师，就像你的头发一样。”
Not long after an old Chinese woman came back to China from her visit to her daughter in the States， she went to a city bank to deposit the US dollars her daughter gave her。 At the bank counter， the clerk checked each note carefully to see if the money was real。 It made the old lady out of patience。
At last she could not hold any more， uttering。 "Trust me， Sir， and trust the money。 They are real US dollars。 They are directly from America。"
它们是从美国直接带来的
一位中国老妇人在美国看望女儿回来不久，到一家市银行存女儿送给她的美元。在银行柜台，银行职员认真检查了每一张钞票，看是否有假。
这种做法让老妇人很不耐烦，最后实在忍耐不住说：“相信我，先生，也请你相信这些钞票。这都是真正的美元，它们是从美国直接带来的。”
