The Clrad River frmed the Grand Canyn ver millins f years. Slwly, the river cut dwn thrugh hard rcks. At the same time, the land was rising.

The canyn lks different at different times f a day, and in different seasns and weather. At sunrise and sunset the black, gld, brwn, and range clurs f the rcks are especially clear and bright. In winter, the canyn is partly cvered with snw.
The view frm the Suth Rim f the Grand Canyn is the best. Mst visitrs cme t the Suth Rim and stay in campgrunds r htels. Every pint alng the canyn’s edge ffers a different view.
The Nrth Rim f the Canyn is quieter. It takes all day t drive there frm the Suth Rim because there is nly ne bridge acrss the Clrad River. On the way, yu g thrugh Navaj Indian lands, and a clurful pink desert called “The Painted Desert”.
Yu can walk dwn int the Grand Canyn, r yu can g dwn n the back f a mule. Yu can als take a bat trip dwn the Clrad River, and camp n the beaches at night. But whether yu see the Grand Canyn frm the tp r the bttm, it will be an experience that yu will never frget.

Sme peple bring ut the best in yu in a way that yu might never have fully realized n yur wn. My mm was ne f thse peple.
My father died when I was nine mnths ld, making my mm a single mther at the age f eighteen. While I was grwing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little mney, but my mm gave me a lt f lve. Each night, she sat me n her lap and spke the wrds that wuld change my life, “Kemmns, yu are certain t be a great man and yu can d anything in life if yu wrk hard enugh t get it.”
At furteen, I was hit by a car and the dctrs said I wuld never walk again. Every day, my mther spke t me in her gentle, lving vice, telling me that n matter what thse dctrs said, I culd walk again if I wanted t badly enugh. She drve that message s deep int my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned t schl — walking n my wn!
When the Great Depressin (大萧条) hit, my mm lst her jb. Then I left schl t supprt the bth f us. At that mment, I was determined never t be pr again.
Over the years, I experienced varius levels f business success. But the real turning pint ccurred n a vacatin I tk with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied (不满意) with the secnd-class htels available fr families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 fr each child. That was t expensive fr the average American family. I tld my wife that I was ging t pen a mtel (汽车旅馆) fr families that wuld never charge extra fr children. There were plenty f dubters at that time.
Nt surprisingly, mm was ne f my strngest supprters. She wrked behind the desk and even designed the rm style. As in any business, we experienced a lt f challenges. But with my mther’s wrds deeply rted in my sul, I never dubted we wuld succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest htel system in the wrld — Hliday Inn. In 1979 my cmpany had 1,759 inns in mre than fifty cuntries with an incme f $ 1 billin a year.
Yu may nt have started ut life in the best situatin. But if yu can find a task in life wrth wrking fr and believe in yurself, nthing can stp yu.

I wanted t be a jurnalist. But my parents reminded me that math makes mney，s ff t engineering schl I went. In my pst-university yung-adult life，I've managed t becme traditinally successful. As a female engineer，I wrked fr a big il cmpany and wned a hme. My life was laid ut in frnt f me and I didn't like what I saw.
S，I did what any respectable 24-year-ld wuld d and left my life behind. I said gdbye t my byfriend and pulled ut my suitcase. I threw myself alne int the wrld with the grace and beauty f a baby deer taking its first steps with skatebards under its feet. I bldied my knees muntain biking thrugh the red rcks f Utah. I spent fur days struggling thrugh Yellwstne with 50 punds n my back. Tw Peruvian wmen alng my Andean jurney taught me hw t rast cffee and helped me practice Spanish. It wasn't Vienna's cultural museums；it was a sunny piece f grass beside the Danube river with smene frm my hstel（青年旅社）wh quickly became a friend. It wasn't Yellwstne's Old Faithful geyser（间歇喷泉）launching int the air；it was charging thrugh Mntana's rdinary landscape playing music s lud that the car windws shk. The truth is, I didn't actually need t be abrad t have almst any f my favrite experiences. They were just small everyday mments that happened t happen abrad, leading me t realize that the true value f my flight tickets were nt the landmarks, but rather becming an active participant in my wn life.
I nw spend less time nline shpping and mre time lying alne n the flr listening t an album cver-t-cver. I ask my friends hw they're ding. Smetimes I surprise them with flwers t see them smile. I tell everyne t have a gd day.

I always dreamed f giving smene a surprise, ne that will be remembered fr a lifetime. Well, thanks t a little determinatin, sme luck, and sme help f Christmas Spirit, my dream became a reality.
My family is Canadian, althugh my sister mved dwn t Australia a few years ag t further her study. She was graduating just befre Christmas. Hwever, due t my wn schl schedule back hme, I wuld nt be able t make it in time fr her graduatin.

While I was talking t my schl advisr abut my term paper the week befre my sister's graduatin, ur cnversatin changed tward Christmas plans. When I mentined that I wuld be missing my sister's graduatin by less than 48 hurs, she said, “Well, if yu want t g, I have n prblem with it, s g ahead!"
On hearing the wrds, I culdn't believe my luck! I nearly jumped fr jy. “Just make sure yu get permissin frm administratin(管理部门)”, she added. What she said immediately made my heart sink. The administratin at my schl was well-knwn fr refusing any srt f time-ff requests, let alne last-minute requests, which wuld undubtedly draw nthing but anger. I almst didn't bther asking, because I knew it wuld be hpeless and a waste f time. Plus, I knew the answer already: n. But smething in me decided t try, just in case. Maybe it was the hpe that the Christmas Spirit wuld smehw affect the administrative ffice at this time f year.
When I returned hme t find the reply frm the administratin in my email bx, I prepared myself fr disappintment.

When the dr pened, there std my sister, dumbfunded. I threw my arms arund her, saying “I made it! Happy graduatin and merry Christmas!” Tears f jy started welling up in her eyes and falling dwn her cheeks. My presence at her graduatin and my surprising arrival was nt nly the best Christmas present fr her but als the very surprise that wuld be remembered fr my lifetime.
