She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied his mail sincerely.
They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other. Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her.
Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, “Are you willing to be my girlfriend?” Galaxy was pleasantly surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents.
As she had expected, her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story. Galaxy explained, “Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very positive attitude towards life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100% better than the normal. Moreover, the mute is still a human. He should possess a perfect and wonderful love. ”
Her parents asked to see him, then. The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later. When they were on the train, Kazrim told her, ‘‘I’m going to tell your parents I’ll be looking after you well with all my life!” Galaxy was deeply moved.
As soon as they had entered the house, Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said, ‘‘This is Kazrim.” Just right after her speech, an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly.
He said, “YOU CAN TALK?” It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask, too.
The four people were shocked all of a sudden. As a matter of fact, Kazrim always believed that Galaxy was a mute and he still fell in love with her deeply.

Hardship comes in different shapes and sizes. Losing a job. Bills overdue (逾期未付的). Illness, injuries or the death of a loved one.
Every kind of difficulty takes its toll. But few things in life are as heartbreaking as feeling cut off from the people we love.
Recently, while “sheltering in place” against the coronavirus, I’ve started reading to my grandkids via FaceTime.
Mostly, I read to them because I love doing it. But I also do it for their parents’ mental health. Besides having to stay indoors, they are forced to homeschool the kids, who can’t go to school or to the park or play with their friends.
As a mother, I didn’t do everything right. Far from it. But when my three children were small, most nights before bed, I would read to them.
There is something important – something comforting and healing – about the age-old ritual (惯例) of reading to each other. Sometimes the words we read are so powerful that they will never be forgotten. But hearing them read is a different experience.
When we read to ourselves, we see the words with our eyes. But when someone reads to us, we just need to be still and listen. Sometimes, the voice and the love it conveys mean far more than the words.
Today, I read the Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume, a book my kids loved long ago. Randy, 9, and Wiley, 7, thought it was funny. Elle, who’s 5, usually prefers to read to me, but this time she just wanted to talk. Next, Randy played a song for us on his guitar, the very first song he has written. Finally, I FaceTimed with Jonah, who is almost a year old. I read MOO, BAA, LA LA LA! by Sandra Boynton. He liked it so much that he gave me kisses over the phone, then we said goodbye.
Now, more than ever, while keeping a safe distance, we all need to hold on to each other.

Family helps us in shaping our lives and our personalities. David R. Womack, a famous expert, defines family as “The ties that fix together. The cement (水泥) that builds character, strength of purpose, shared respect, values.” We learn values like love, trust, and tradition from our family.

Your best friend has seen you at your worst and still loves you unconditionally. However, such a close relationship is bound to have its twists and turns (曲折).
Talk it out. No matter whose fault it is, don’t wait for her to make the first move. Friendships break because no one wants to be the first to take action after a quarrel. You know she’s important to you, so call her and talk things out. If you’re at fault, explain yourself without justifying (证明……有道理) your mistake.
Listen.
