Taiwan's passion for baseball has many roots

The news is about the baseball game in Taiwan. Hsieh Shih-yuan, a researcher at the National Taiwan Museum who has studied the history of baseball in Taiwan, said the game is healing force in the country. Baseball has played an important role in raising the profile of Taiwan when it was still an unknown member of the international community. I really like this sentence 'Perhaps because they are young and ambitious, they don't give up easily and will keep on fighting until the end'. This sentence encourage people do not give up when you are facing a problem. It also show the vitality of young people that we must learn to .

Two-legged dog bring hope and inspires awe

The story about a 5-year-old dog that called Faith was born with a shriveled left leg that flopped behind her and had to be removed and a legless partial right paw.Even without her handlers' positioning of Faith as essentially a 27-pound self-help book,the experience offers a rare license to gawk,touch and find inspiration in a soft take on missing limbs and human hardships.Faith has that kind of effect on people and happy to be alive.

One sentence that really touched my heart was:"A wiry dog with a furiously wagging tail and a nose-height of 40 inches confidently strolling through a mall or bouncing through a parking lot."I liked this sentence because I know that the dog act like a normal dog and having a wonderful life even though it is a handicapped dog.Faith tried to spread a message to people to be brave and confident when facing a problem.Do not give up until the last minute.The behavior of Faith really touched my heart.And now, I really believed that life is hopeful and I am happy to be alive.
