A few years ago, I worked in a local shop. While handing an ice-cream to an old woman at the drive thru (汽车餐厅) window, I noticed that she had a box of what appeared to be purple tomatoes.

And they were unusual. When I handed her the ice-cream, I said, “Those tomatoes look delicious! What kind are they?” She laughed and replied, “Here, have some!” Within seconds I had some purple tomatoes.

“Oh, no, you don’t need to give me any!” I said. “Those tomatoes look special and if you sell them, you can get a lot of money.” “Here, have more,” she said, and I had six of the prettiest tomatoes I had ever seen. It was awkward (尴尬的) to me, so I said, “Really, you didn’t have to give me any, but I appreciate (感激) it.” The woman smiled again and said, “I hope you enjoy them. And to answer your question, it’s what my family used to plant. So they aren’t like the ones you get in the store.”

I said thank you again, and she left. I thought she was like the tooth fairy(精灵): I gave her the ice-cream and she gave me tomatoes.

About two weeks later, my boss at the ice-cream store sent me a text message, “I want to let you know that your gardener dropped off a box of vegetables and some seeds for you. She must be very nice!” Confused(困惑的), I replied, “My gardener?” That night, my boss showed me the box. It was full of tomatoes, cucumbers, and green beans. The tomato fairy was back! Why was this woman being so generous (慷慨的)?

I never saw her again, but her kindness encourages me to share my garden with anyone who’ll have it.

①Not everyone is born smart or good at sports. But everyone can study to become smarter and train to get better at sports. Science shows that anyone can get better skills.

②Your brain is made up of billions of neurons (神经元). They are all connected and send messages to each other. Scientists have found that when we learn, neurons make new connections and old connections grow stronger. But if connections aren’t used, they will break down. So, learning is like exercise for your brain.

③A mindset is a way of thinking. Some people have a fixed mindset. They think they are either smart or stupid and they will stay that way forever. Other people have a growth mindset and they think they can learn and get better.

④According to Dr. Carol Dweck’s studies, people with a fixed mindset worry about grades. They’re afraid of looking stupid when they make mistakes. People with a growth mindset care about learning, not grades. They learn from their mistakes and try to find different ways of solving problems. They ask for help when necessary. In only two years, babies learn to walk, talk and feed themselves. They never worry about looking stupid when learning. If they make mistakes, they just try again.

⑤Dweck’s team discovered that kids can choose to have a growth mindset. They can do better in school. So notice what mindset you have. If you ever think yourself stupid, it’s not true. You just have not learned how to do something yet.

The person I want to thank most

My middle school life is coming to an end. Looking back on the past three years, the person I want to thank most is my English teacher Mr. Lee. He is tall and thin. He has short black hair and wears glasses. He is always friendly and patient with us.

When I was in Grade 8, my English was very poor. One day, he asked me to take part in an English speech contest. He said, “Your pronunciation is really good. Try your best. I believe in you.” With the help of Mr. Lee, I got the first prize. My English improved a lot.

Mr. Lee has a great influence on me, I am grateful to him. I will work hard to become better. I think that’s the best gift for my dear teacher.
