One day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer.This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem-inability to read.
In the library，I found my way into the "Children's Room".I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random.The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him.I never forgot my beagle.Without opening the book titled Amos，the Beagle with a Plan，I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos.I read very，very slowly with difficulty.Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home.That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book.
My mother's call returned me to the real world.I suddenly realized something：I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book.Everyone knew I could not read.But I had read it.Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my "miraculous" experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.And years later，she was proud that her son had read thousands of books，was awarded a PhD in literature，and authored his own books，articles，poetry and fiction.The power of the words has held.

1．Shortly before Christmas last year，one of Brazilian pianists Joao Carlos Martins invited his friends to a bar near his home.He wanted to show them the best gift he had received：a new pair of gloves.They are not just any gloves，however.The special bionic devices（仿生設(shè)備）let the 79-year-old pianist play with both hands for the first time in more than 20 years.

3．Dolly Parton was one of the six honorees to receive the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy on Thursday night at Gotham Hall in New York.She was celebrated for her extraordinary contributions that make the world a better place.
It is thought that Dolly Parton has been quietly paying for the band uniforms of many Tennessee high schools for years.She used the songwriting payment she earned from Whitney Houston's version of I Will Always Love You to purchase a shopping center in Nashville to support the surrounding black community in Houston's honor.
Her "Imagination Library" provides children under age 5 with a free book every month.The library aims to inspire a love for reading through funding shared by Dolly Parton and local community partners in the United States，Canada，the United Kingdom，Australia and the Republic of Ireland.Currently，Parton sends out about 2 million free books each month.Parton has also donated many books to disaster relief.In 2021，she even raised ﹩700，000 to help residents impacted by the terrible flooding in Middle Tennessee.
In her Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy speech，Parton said she didn't really have a strategy for her donations. "I just give from my heart.I never know what I'm going to do or why I'm going to do it.I often see a need，and if I can meet it，then I will，" she said.
This year，Parton also carried out the Care More Program at her Dollywood Parks and Resorts，which gives employees a day off to volunteer at a nonprofit of their choice.Parton said， "I hope the program will let people realize that when they help somebody，they help themselves more." "That's what we should do as human beings，" she said. "I've never quite understood why we have to let religion and politics and other things stand in the way of just being good human beings.I think it's important just to feel like you're doing your part and doing something good and right."
（1）Why did Parton buy a shopping center？
A．To give aid to others.
