Everyone wants a blue ribbon (

丝带

). Blue is the first place. Even kindergarten children

(

幼儿园小孩

) ____15____ that blue ribbon. In sports, I was never a winner.

During the spring of my kindergarten year, our class had a field trip in a nearby park. We

planned to have a race. However, it was not a common race. It was called the three-legged

race. Our feet were tied together with a little red ribbon. One ____16____ boy got me for a

partner. He almost always won, but I knew that, with me, he didn’t have a chance. Certainly,

he didn’t ____17____ that at first.

The gun sounded, and we were off to the other side. ____18____ were falling around us

but we stayed on our feet. Only one other pair even had a chance. Unluckily, only one foot

away from the finish line, I fell down. We were close enough that my partner could have

____19____ pulled me across the finish line and won. But he didn’t. Instead, he stopped and

helped me up, just as the other couple crossed the finish line. I still remember that moment,

and I still ____20____ that little red ribbon.

When we graduated many years later, I stood on that stage and gave the valedictory

address (

告别演说

) to that ____21____ group of students, none of whom even remembered

that moment any more. So, I told them about that little boy who had made a ____22____ that

helping a friend up was more important than winning a blue ribbon. I keep that ribbon

Castles are made to last. But sandcastles wash away. They are pretty enough for kings

and queens.

But most people would not think of living in them. Sandcastles are works of art. And

they are fun to make!

Ready to Build

You need the right tools to build sandcastles. The first tool is your mind. If you can

picture a sandcastle, you can build it. Tools will help you.

Sand

Sandcastles are made of sand, of course. First, pack the wet sand together. For this to

work, the sand has to be wet. Wet sand holds together. However, if your sand is too wet, it

will fall down.

Pails

Pails are a must for great sandcastles. Push wet sand into a pail to make it hold together.

You can even use a pail with a fun design. Then, flip the pail of sand into place.

Shovels

Use shovels to dig a pit (

深坑

) for building. Then, use them to spread the ground smooth.

Next, use shovels to scoop (

铲

) sand into pails. You can also pat the sand into shape with

them.

From the

▲

You can use the utensils in the picture. They will help you sculpt shapes. You can use

them to make designs as well. Any tool in the picture can become a sand tool.

Spray Bottle

Sandcastles take time to build. Wet sand will dry in the sun and may break when you

touch it. Use a spray bottle of water to keep the sand wet. Keep spraying where you are

working.

Try, Try Again

Sandcastles can fall down. They are often easy to break. But do not give up! If your

castle falls, try again. Who knows? The new design might be better that you planned!

“Come on, Simon,” said Gabe. “Let’s try out our new saucers! The snow is perfect.”

“I’m not ready,” Simon said. He watched his older brother set out for the door. “What’s to get

ready?” Gabe asked. Simon wanted to say “I need to learn how to steer (

掌握方向

) the

saucer.” or “What if the other kids laugh if I mess up?” But he said nothing. “You’re going to

miss a lot of fun,” Gabe said.

“Come on, Simon,” said Mom. “Your brother will help you.”

Simon spent as much time as he could pulling on his snow trousers and boots. His

brother walked to the front hall. “Let’s go!”

The brothers walked to the park, the saucers bumping against their snow pants. Simon

could see the sledding hill in front of them. To him, it looked more like a sledding mountain.

It was so high that he thought he couldn’t conquer (

征服

) it. Kids were taking turns on sleds

and saucers, screaming all the way down. Simon couldn’t tell if their cries meant they were

happy or scared. He knew which one he felt.

Gabe was taking the steps two at a time. “Come on!” he called to Simon. Simon started

up. He was both sweating and freezing. Should he turn back? But the line of kids on the steps

behind him meant he had to keep climbing. At the top, the kids waited excitedly. Was he the

only one who could not move his legs?

His brother stopped. “Do you want me to go down with you?” he asked. When they were

younger, they used to ride on one sled down the gentle slope in their backyard. Seeing his

older brother’s face calmed Simon. Memories came flooding back. Gabe had encouraged him

a lot in the past. But he knew Gabe wanted to fly down without him.

“Are you two going or not?” a girl behind him asked. Simon took a deep breath. “I’m

going. By myself.” “Good for you, Simon,” Gabe said.

Simon sat on the saucer and tightly held the plastic handles. His heart was doing

leapfrogs. Gabe gave him a small push on his back. Suddenly, he was moving down the hill

like a wild polar bear. He had the handles in a death tightly held when the saucer spun around.

But he dropped rapidly down the hill backward. Backward! He couldn’t stop. Was he going to

crash? Why had he thought this was a good idea?

The ground leveled off and Simon’s saucer slowed, and then suddenly stopped at the
