Ten years ago around Christmas, I was on a Captiva Island beach at sunrise. I was there, seven years old, scraping my fingers through the   36  , with the false hope of finding a treasure larger than the tiny shell fragments (碎片) that   37   the shore.
    A man jogged along the waves   38   my direction. When he came near me, he slowed to a walk. I didn’t notice him   39   he was almost standing over me. Too young to be shy of strangers, I   40   myself up from the ground. It was   41   that I saw what he was holding in his hands. There, perfectly intact (完好的), was a beautiful cream-colored conch (海螺) shell. He smiled as I   42   in amazement, and then, to my shock, handed it to me. I   43   it before me like a diamond, not believing my eyes. How did he know?
    “I think this one has your name on it,” he said, and then continued his   44   down the beach.
    I do not remember his voice, his clothes or   45   his face, but I do still have the seashell, and the greatest lesson I’ve ever learned. The whole flight home I held it in my hand as I   46   his act of kindness. Now the shell sits on my bedside table,   47   as bright and big as it was, because a lot of things have changed, but it is still there, a   48   reminder that there is goodness in the world.
    You see, that man saved me. He saved my belief in the   49   of people. He saved my belief that one can find what means something in life. I   50   my shell every day, and every time I know that I can   51   that day because no matter what, there are good things in my life. In the end, all that we have is what we have   52   for others. The shell is important to me, as important as   53   man who returned to the plane to give me my lost jacket, as important as my   54   my stuffed animal to my neighbor who was moving.
    Making a difference in   55   life, no matter how big or small, is what truly matters, and that is worth all the treasure in the world.

Oprah Winfrey is not just a very successful TV personality(名人) in the US, she is also a woman who has encouraged millions. For those people, her life and her success are a good example. She has struggled with many of the challenges(挑戰(zhàn))that we all face, and she has changed her life. Her message is powerful: I did it, and so can you.

Oprah Winfrey is a black woman whose becoming famous is an encouraging story. She was born on January 29, 1954 in a small village in America. Her patents were very poor. For her family, life seemed to hold no promise.

But there was nothing that could stop Oprah. She was an extremely bright girl at school. She asked her kindergarten teacher to let her go to school sooner and she also skipped (跳級)the second grade of primary school(小學). Her life from the age of six till about fourteen was very hard. For many women such difficulty would be too heavy to bear(忍受). But not for Oprah. When she was fourteen, Oprah went to live with her father. Her father showed her how hard work and discipline(自律) could lead to self-improvement. Oprah listened to her father, and a few years later she won a college scholarship that allowed her to go to university.

Two years later, after graduation, she started working for television. For more than ten years she worked for different TV stations across the country. In 1984, she moved to Chicago, where she became the host of a talk show called "AM Chicago". When Oprah started, "AM Chicago" had few listeners. By September of the next year, the show was so successful that it was given a new name: 'The Oprah Winfrey Show".

B.Oprah was younger than most of schoolmates when she finished primary school.
