We all know that his name is Harry Potter. And we all know that Harry Potter written by J.K. Rowling has influenced the lives of its readers. Here are some fans’ stories about the influence of the books on them.

I was lonely, and Harry Potter helped me get better.

When I was 16, my family moved away to a foreign country. I lived with my uncle and his family. At that time, I was lonely. Times were grey, but Harry Potter always gave me something to look forward to. The books helped me understand that I could talk to my friends, depend on them. And the books have taught us to care about others. Thanks to J.K. Rowling. How I wish to get her autograph（亲笔签名） !

Like Harry, I’d lost my mother. Harry Potter helped me face it.

My mother had been dead by the time I read Harry Potter. Though I was an 11-year-old girl, I understood a little of how Harry felt, I remember staying up to read it through the night and ending up crying as Lily Potter, Harry’s mother, said to him—“You’ve been so brave.” Those are the kind of words you want to hear when you’ve lost a parent. They hit your heart sometimes, in the most beautiful way. I think I can be a lot stronger than before.

I didn’t want to read, until my friends told me about a wizard (魔法师) called Harry.  

   Recently, my husband and I had the chance to do something good for two people who were complete strangers to us. It made us feel so good to be able to do it that I thought I should share.

We were traveling to Thailand on New Year's Day with our family. Since I travel a lot for work, we have had enough flying miles to become the VIP(very important person) of the flight to enjoy first class(头等舱) seats.

As we were sitting in the very first two seats in the first row of first class waiting for the plane to take off, I heard one of the flight attendants(航班服务员) telling the others that there was a young couple sitting in the back of the plane that had just been married several days before and were going on their honeymoon(蜜月). They had ordered their flight eight months before but, for some reason, had not been able to get seats together. No one else on the plane wanted to move and the bride(新娘) was in tears.

I turned to my husband and told him what I heard. We agreed without thinking twice and I called the flight attendant over to tell her that we would be happy to give up our seats for this young couple. The flight attendant seemed shocked and amazed and said,"Really? Are you sure?" We said, "Sure!"

So, we moved to the back of the plane. I was in a middle seat in the back part and my husband, who is 63, in the window seat of the last row of the plane.

The flight attendants were very thankful for what we had done and cared for us carefully even though we were no longer sitting in first class, and we both made friends with the people sitting around us and had a great flight. I had to go back to the front of the plane to get a forgotten object back during the flight and noticed that the young couple were sitting very close together, happily sipping champagne(品尝香槟).

It really made my New Year to get on to such a wonderful start!

Do you know what makes lightning（闪电）?Why does lightning strike（击打）?

Lightning strikes happen when ice and water in clouds rub（摩擦）together, and cause atmospheric（大气层的）changes. When this happens, it creates a static charge（静电）．Lightning can strike inside the cloud, between two clouds or between a cloud and Earth. It’s the last kind of strike that is the most dangerous for humans.

Lightning can be very dangerous. Every year, lightning kills people because it can start big fires or because it reaches a temperature of 28, 000 ℃. About 1, 000 people are hit by lightning every year in the United States, and about 100 of them die as a result.

Lightning makes people shocked, and it happens all over the world! Scientists think that there are more than three million lightning strikes every day in the world—that’s thirty strikes every second（秒）. An American man Roy Sullivan, who worked in a park, survived from the most lightning strikes. Between 1942 and 1983, he was hit seven times! And he keeps the highest world record.

Lightning is sure not something to play with. When lightning strikes, it’s best to stay inside a large building. To stay safe, do not stand under trees, on hills or near water. Also, do not lie down on the ground, or the electricity may go through you and cause a heart problem.

My mother used to ask me what was the most important part of the body. Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer.

When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans. So I said, “My ears, Mommy.” She said, “No, many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”

Several years had passed before she asked me again, Since making my first try, I had thought over the correct answer. So this time I told her, “Mommy, sight（视力） is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me. “You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who can’t see.”

Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, “No, but you are getting smarter every year, my boy.”

Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying at the funeral（葬礼）. My mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”

I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion（困惑）on my face and told me, “This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life.” I saw her eyes in tears.

She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.”

I asked, “Is it because it holds up（抬起）your head ?”

She replied, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry. Everybody requires a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you require it.”

Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish（自私的）one. It is sympathetic（体谅的）to the pain of others.

Let's share this article about the importance of family in our life. As soon as the man goes into the world, the first persons he meets are his family
41．(member). The first person is the mother who has taken great pain to bring him to this
42．(beauty) world. Then is his father who is always there to look
43． him. Then come the brothers or sisters.

Family is the first place for a person
44．(learn) things in this world. He learns everything from his family from baby time till old age, He sees his family walking and then he tries to follow them. He sees his family talking and then he tries to repeat the words. He also
45．(slow ) learns the basic communication among the people in the family. He learns how to love,
46． to do, when to go to bed, and how to get on with others well. This develops a kind of love among all family.

The family works like a chain. You know, kids know
47．(little) than other people, so they should learn from elders while elders depend on
48．(they)kids for a lot of things. When kids grow up, get married, have children, the circle repeats again. Your family always come to your help when you are in trouble. They always support you in different ways
49． it is on money or just on spirit. You can always share your problems with the family, and you always find a better way to solve your problems after
50．(discuss) them in the house.

Considering all these things, we can say family is one of the greatest gifts that God sends us.

My sister is one of a best friends of mine. We haven’t always been   
51．
