A boy without ears was often laughed at at school，so he often asked his parents to graft(移植)a pair of ears for him.

One day a doctor said to the boy's father that he could graft a pair of ears for his son，if they could be offered.Two years went by.Then，“You are going to the hospital，son.Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need.But it's a secret，” said the father.

The operation was a brilliant success.Later the boy married and entered the diplomatic service(外交部)．“But I must know who gave so much to me.I could never do enough for him.”“But the agreement was that you are not to know，not yet，”said the father.The years kept their secret，but the day did come，one of the darkest days that ever passed through his son.Slowly，the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick，reddish?brown hair to show that the mother had no ears.

“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut，”he whispered gently，“and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful，did they？”

Real beauty lies not in the physical appearance，but in the heart.Real treasure lies not in what can be seen，but in what cannot be seen.Real love lies not in what is done and known，but in what is done but not known.

When you get up in the morning，do you find it hard to choose what clothes to wear?

If so，you probably need help when making the bigger choices in your life，like what to do when you're older.

Brave New Girls，by American author Jeanette Gadeberg，will help you make such choices.

To make them，it says，you must be a brave new girl.A brave new girl is one who's confident，healthy and happy.A brave new girl can realize her dreams.

To be brave，you need to make decisions for yourself.Other people may tell you what to do，but you should not listen to all of them.You must only do what you want.

If you always wear clothes like your favorite TV star，for example，you must stop doing so.Instead，become your own star and wear the clothes you want.

The book also tells girls to start liking how they look.

You have to like your body，it says.If you don't，you will not take good care of it and won't stay healthy.

The book also says that girls must start becoming more confident.If you're confident，you'll succeed in life.

A good way to become confident is to realize that you are as clever as boys.You just look at their grades!
