Who do you admire(崇拜)? Different people may have different ideas. If you’re a sports fan, perhaps the person you admire most is a great basketball player, and Yao Ming is probably the one in your mind. If you study music or play the piano, perhaps the person you admire most is a gifted musician like Mozart, who began to write beautiful music at a very young age. Or maybe you admire great scientists, for example, Yuan Longping.

　　    We have many reasons to admire famous people and we often give much of our respect(尊敬) to them. However, we shouldn’t neglect(忽视) those who are common, such as nurses, train drivers, firemen, cleaners and so on. They may be working in a corner of the world without being noticed, but all these people spend their working days for our society. However, what they do is often unnoticed by us. Have you ever thought of what our life will be like if they stop working?

　　    So next time when you admire famous people, don’t forget those who are common around you.
