A famous singer agreed to sing in a bar (酒吧). The manager (经理) of the bar made it widely known around town and tickets for the event sold out quickly. In fact, it turned out that there were no seats left on the night of the concert. A feeling of expectation(期望) and happiness was in the air as the manager walked up to the stage (舞台). He said, “Hello everybody, thank you for being here tonight. I am afraid that the singer will not be singing tonight because she is ill. However, we have found another great singer. She will sing for you. We hope she will give you great happiness as well...” The air seemed frozen(凝固) for a moment. People were unhappy about the news. They did not even hear the host say the stand-in’s (替身) name.

The environment turned from excitement to quietness. The stand-in performer gave the show everything she had. When she finished, there was nothing. It was so quiet. No one cheered. Nobody clapped (鼓掌). The stand-in performer was embarrassed (尴尬的). Suddenly, from the balcony(阳台), a little boy stood up and shouted, “Mommy, I think you are wonderful!” Everyone turned to the balcony, saw the little boy’s smile, and then broke into cheers at the same time. We all need people in our lives who would like to stand up once in a while(不时地) and say, “I think you are wonderful.”

When Joao found a dying penguin on a beach in Brazil, he at once started to nurse him back to health. The penguin was named Dindim.

One day, in May 2011, Joao was going about his daily work when he saw something very strange, on close look, he noticed that it was a penguin who was all covered with oil. The penguin could hardly move.

After saving him, Joao spent a week cleaning the penguin's dirty feathers in the shower. And he fed him fish every day. Once the penguin was in good health, Joao took him back to the beach to set him free, but something surprising happened. "He wouldn't leave. He stayed with me for 11 months and then just after he changed his coat with new feathers, he（1）_________." Joao told Globo TV. "Everyone said he wouldn't return but he has been coming back to visit me for the past four years. He arrives in June and leaves to go home in February every year."

"I love the penguin like it's my own child and I believe the penguin loves me," explained 71-year-old Joao.（2）"No one else is allowed to touch him. He will peck them if they do." A biologist said, “I think the penguin believes Joao is part of his family and probably （3）a penguin as well. When he sees Joao he wags his tail like a dog. It's a very special relationship."

“I was having math class when suddenly, a piece of music came into my mind. I quickly wrote it down and finished the song in 30 minutes as soon as I got home.”

Zhang told Xinhua News that the song was inspired by US actress Anne Hathaway’s role in the movie The Devil Wears Prada. “I wanted to send a message about girl power—that girls can be strong and independent, but also cute,” she said.

Online supporters were quick to comment (评论). One fan said,“What a huge gap (差距) there is between her and me! Thirty minutes is the time I spend finishing a meal.”

As a ninth-grader at Shenzhen Arts School, Zhang is studying violin. In 2019, she uploaded (上传) her first video on Bilibili. She quickly won many fans. In her videos, everything from bottles to pieces of candy can become musical instruments. A video titled “How to make music at school without instruments” has been watched over 1.9 million times. In the video, she makes musical loops (循环伴奏) with a pencil bag and a desk.

“I often come up with funny ideas and then put them into my songs,” Zhang said. “It’s a great way for me to express myself, and in this way I won’t be too sad about negative things in life.”
