Q: Hannah and her friend Mary were bored. They sat around the house and tried to think about what to do. They petted the cat. They drew pictures in Hannah's notebook. They snuck into Hannah's mother's closet to try on her shoes, but Hannah's mother caught them. She said, "You girls need something to do. Let's take a walk to the park!" Hannah and Mary looked at each other, and then jumped up and down happily. "The park sounds great!" said Hannah. "Let's go!" cried Mary. So Hannah's mother packed up a snack of apples and cookies, and they all set off to walk to the park. They walked down the sidewalk, looking at all the interesting things along the way. Mary spotted a squirrel. Hannah saw a yellow bird. Hannah's mother pointed out the pretty yellow flowers growing in front of Mr. Smith's house. When they got to the park, Hannah's mother spread out a picnic blanket and the snack. Hannah and Mary ran around chasing butterflies for a little time, and then sat down to eat their snacks. When they finished, Hannah's mother put the leftovers in a trash can. As they walked back home, Hannah thought that the boring day had turned out quite well.

Q: Roger Rolls was the first black governor in the history of New York State, USA. He was born in one of New York's notorious slums. The children born here rarely did decent work after they grew up. However, Roger Rolls was an exception, for he was not only admitted to the university, but also he became a governor. At his inaugural press conference, a reporter asked him, "What made you become the governor?" Faced with more than 300 journalists, Rolls did not mention his struggle but only spoke of his primary school schoolmaster---Pierre Paul.

In 1961, Pierre Paul was engaged as the director and principle of Nobita Primary School. When he entered this school, he found the children here didn't cooperate with the teachers. Pierre thought up many ways to guide them, but none was effective. Later, he found these children were very superstitious , so when he gave lectures, he added a program of palm reading as a means of fortune-telling, with which he encouraged the students.

When Rolls Jumped from the hathpace and walked to the platform with his small hands stretched out, Pierre Paul said, "As soon as I see your slender little fingers, I know you will be the governor of New York State in future." At that moment, Rolls was shocked because only his grandmother inspired him once, saying that he could become the governor of New York State, so he remembered that remark and believed him.

From that day on, the "New York State Governor" was like a banner that constantly inspired him to study energetically and make progress. Rolls no longer stained his clothes with mud, nor did he speak in foul language. He began to straighten his back when he was walking. In the next more than 40 years, he demanded himself according to the identity of a governor. At the age of 51, he finally became the governor of New York State.

Put up a banner of faith for yourself and you will have the drive to struggle and the vitality of life.

Q: (CNN) -- Investigators have named Casey Anthony a suspect in the mid-June disappearance of her toddler daughter, Caylee, Florida authorities said Wednesday.

Casey Anthony had been called a "person of interest" in her daughter's disappearance.

Police had previously labeled Anthony -- who authorities said didn't report the 3-year-old child's disappearance until mid-July -- a "person of interest" in the case.

"Casey is a suspect," said Orange County Sheriff's Department Capt. Angelo Nieves. "She has been uncooperative, leading investigators down the wrong path and lying to them. She has not provided any credible information about the last time she saw her or where she was left."

Casey Anthony of Orlando, Florida, was arrested July 16 on suspicion of telling detectives lies about Caylee's disappearance. She was released on bail after that arrest and subsequent arrests on unrelated theft charges.

Authorities said weeks ago that evidence suggests Caylee is dead. Investigators found evidence of human decomposition in the trunk of Anthony's car, authorities have said.

Law enforcement sources also suggested that a strand of hair found in the trunk of the car was Caylee's. Watch Nancy Grace speak to Casey Anthony's "babysitter" "

Authorities also have said they found traces of chloroform in the car Anthony drove and Internet searches of chloroform Web sites on her computer.

Anthony and her daughter have garnered national headlines and served as fodder for nightly crime shows. Protesters have held vigils outside Anthony's home pleading with her to give police more information about Caylee's whereabouts.

In connection with her July arrest, Anthony was charged with child neglect, making false official statements and obstructing a criminal investigation.
