Bags of Love
Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother’s house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.
After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.
One day, I talked to a neighbor and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me – why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?
When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug (拥抱).I told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless (无私的) she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so proud of my mum.
I continued to buy food for my mum after that. But I always added one more bag for her other children.

If you go to an American middle school on a Wednesday morning, you will hear kids talking about the show of American Idol (美国偶像) that they watched last night. Some have called it the most influential show in the history of television.
he American Idol show has been extremely successful since 2002. The most popular episode had nearly 38 million viewers. But why is the show so popular?
The idea of the show is this: everyday people get a chance to show their singing talent and become an “American Idol”, a famous pop star. Anyone in the country (between the ages of 15 and 28) can try out for a chance at becoming famous.
In fact, common people are the only ones who are allowed on the show. If you are a professional singer, you cannot be on American Idol.
The winners are usually people from small towns – people who sing in churches or bars, but have bigger dreams.
The winners of the contest get the chance to record an album. Famous stars such as Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood become famous from winning the show. So, it seems the contest really works.
The idea that anyone can be a star attracts people. All those hours of practicing in front of the mirror could lead to success. Even you could be the next “American Idol”.
