Every day as I drove through town, I saw a one-legged man going through the dustbins next to McDonalds looking for food. It was only a month Christmas, starting to get cold and I could not help him.

So I bought a brush, loads of bread, cans of fish, and added a blanket and sweatshirts. I made a box up like a present and went this man. I saw him hobbling (蹣跚) away from the dustbins. I pulled over, took the box and to him. I said, “I would like to give you a Christmas present, and there are some food here and some things you might be able to use.”

He sidestepped around me and said, “No, thank you, I just had lunch. I don’t need .”

Then he hobbled on down the sidewalk, me standing there in tears. I took the box down to a little shop that gave things out to the and homeless and told them what had happened and asked that they should give the to someone who could use it. The person there told me not to be and they thought my feelings were hurt as I was crying.

Ning Zetao has become China’s new swimming star due to his amazing performance at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon(仁川), South Korea.

With already two gold medals in hand, the 21-year-old clocked 47.70 seconds in the 100m freestyle, setting a new Asian record. This result has been recognized by FINA as the world’s third best time this year, fast enough to have won a gold medal in last year’s Barcelona World Championships.

“It is my first international event,”said Ning, who later won a fourth gold medal in Incheon. “I am happy that my results are pretty close to my personal best.”

Born in the central Chinese city of Zhengzhou,Ning entered the local team at the age of 11 and joined the navy team in 2007.He first caught people’s attention in 2009 when he finished eighth in the 200m individual medley at the National Games.

Nevertheless, Ning suffered from bone infection in both knees for a long time, which made him unable to train hard on his kicks.

He also had an indigestion problem and had to eat “soft” food which is easy to digest. His poor stomach even made it impossible for him to complete week-long full time training.

But the young swimmer never gives up. His idol is the great Russian swimmer Alexander Popov, who continued to win Olympic gold medals after he was stabbed on a street. Ning said, “He was a real fighter and I need to learn from him.”

Taken better care of by coaches and doctors, Ning can now train as normally as others. And that is why he can get today’s achievements.

The gold medals at the Asian Games also boosted the confidence of the new swimming star, who hopes to enter the national team and compete for China in more international events.

“Chinese men’s swimmers have never been placed among top eight in the short-distance freestyle,” he said. “I hope I can do it, just like what Sun Yang did in the mid-long distance freestyle.”

A well-developed class website can save teachers a lot of time in the long run, improving both student-teacher and parent-teacher communication while providing a repository(儲(chǔ)藏室) of all classroom documents for future use. Although some extra time during the school year is required, once the site is up it needs just minor adjustments each new year. Have a question? Get an answer from online technology support now.

Decide which type of software you will use to create a class website. Microsoft has many applications that can be used to create websites, such as Publisher, Word and Expression Web. Some web hosting sites also have simple editing tools you can use instead of a formal program.

Find a place to host your class website. Your Internet provider often provides about some small space for a personal website for free, and many other free website hosting companies are on the Internet.

Consider using a template（模版）for your first attempt at website design. Most templates also come with a selection of color and graphics already in place so you can concentrate on content instead of design. It will contain basic sections with your specific class information.

Add content to your website. You need to have announcement sections for both parents and students, a syllabus or class rules area, homework assignments or a calendar, and maybe a links section for learning more about in-class topics and playing educational games.

Decorate your website with graphics, clip art, background, cool fonts（字體）and other decorative items. It’s best to find a theme you like, such as ducks or fire hydrants, and make your design elements all stick with your theme. If you think that is too attractive, go for an abstract look. Remember to keep it simple since too much color and graphics make a site look busy and detract from its usability.
