The world needs love and many people need our help. Several years ago，my teachers asked me to take part in a program that helps those who are_____. Each week, I spend an hour in the classroom helping with schoolwork，art projects，games and other_____, including eating. My mother is a teacher, so I am used to helping children；however, I found that working with children with special needs would_____my life forever.

At first, I thought it would be_____to be with the children who are so different, but gradually I found there' ssomething special about these students. So there was no need to worry about it. Each Thursday I was welcomed by the smiling faces of Thomas, Joey and Missy. Thomas has to sit on the wheelchair. He communicates with simple words_____yes or no. Joey, a deaf girl, always welcomed me with a big smile. Missy was born with a kind of_____and it makes her really small for her age. In a normal classroom, it would be common to hear a teacher comfort a child who is tapping his pencil, speaking_____, or making unnecessary noises. However, here, shouts, cries, and other noises are_____. They' re signs of excitement and different ways of communicating.

Working with children with special needs has changed my life. It has made me_____others' needs. One of my teachers believes that we should be part of something bigger than______.

Emma has just finished travelling alone in Europe. Are you interested in her journey? Let’s read some of her travel diaries.

When I opened my e-mail the other day, Rachel, a pretty woman, appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking happily. Sometimes she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. It was cool, right? In fact, she was reading to me an e-mail from my brother John.

Rachel could be there because of a new technology called Facemail lets you send in a funny way. By using it, your e-mails can be read to the receiver by an attractive person or by a clown. You can download the software at www.Facemail.com without paying. Facemail faces are lively and they can simulate the emotions that you put in you text. For example, type in, and Rachel blows a kiss.

LifeFX, the company that developed the Facemail, is sure there are wide business uses. Why is e-business not so popular now? One of the reasons is that buying online has no human touch. But if you go to the Nike website, and the famous basketball star Michael Jordan greets you by name, serves you, and personally closes the sale, won't you be happy? Also, if mom can't be home when kids get back from school, she can leave a note with a voice and picture on the screen to tell them what there is to eat.

It's true that Facemail makes life easy and fun, but it should be used with care. The clown looks lively and funny at first. But if you choose the clown, put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions, you've got a Psycho mail.

Let children learn to judge（判断）their own work. A child doesn’t learn to talk by being corrected all the time. If he is corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language others use. Little by little, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s.

In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught-to walk, run, climb or ride a bicycle. They compare their performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them himself. We do it all for him. We thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, to correct it unless he has made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him work out with the help of other children if he wants it.

If it is a matter in math or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such daily work? Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must learn, how to measure（估量）their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.

Let them get on with this job in their ways. School teachers can offer help if they ask for it. Some parents and teachers are worried that the children might fail to learn something that they will need to get in the world. Don’t worry! If it is important, they will go out into the world and learn it.

Recently, a very simple question became widely spread online: What China should be proud of?
40．

Lanlan, whose real name is Negar Kordi, is from Canada. She came to China five years ago and is a student at Ningbo University. Now she has 120,000 fans on the Internet and the number is still growing.

Lanlan loves China and Chinese.
41． And that’s why she is so well received among Chinese net friends. The following is China in her eyes.

“It is the easiest country in which to find a job. If you are not too lazy, it is really very simple to find a job in China. I believe there’re more job chances here than in any other country in the world.”

“
42． About 400 million Chinese are studying English. If they can speak good English in the future, China will have the greatest number of English speakers of any non-English speaking country.”

“The speed of Chinese trains is fast. From Ningbo to Beijing, the train runs 1,365 kilometers for seven hours and the ticket fare is only 595 yuan.”

“Its public security is great.
43． I have travelled in many countries, and I think China really is very safe.”

“There are much more things China should be proud of. Many Chinese people often criticize（批评）China. At first, I believed that they didn’t like China or that they loved western countries. But later, I realized that they just set a very high standard for China.

According to new research，recently, some terrible events that teachers were abused(辱骂) on some websites by students happened in the UK. It had a bad influence on schools and the society. The British Teaching Union did a survey of 7,500 teachers. We can get some information from the following data(数据) and know how the teachers who were abused dealt with the problem.

You know teachers are often destroyed by the terrible abuse. Some have lost their confidence to teach and have left school. The survey showed many of the bad comments related to teachers’ looks, abilities and behaviors. We’ve got another data from it. It SHOWS the bad comments were made by not only students but their parents. Please look at the following chart.

It is clear that we should take some methods to protect teachers from the abuse. We think that the way to solve the problem is the better understanding among teachers, students and parents. Besides good communication, respecting(尊敬) each other is very important. If so, they can get on well with each other.

As a child, I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others.

I still remember it was an early autumn. Some

53． by my mother, but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry. My mother said sorry with a smile, but I shouted at her
54． thinking much. I got it off my body so wildly that I made a hole in it. I put on my own vest and rushed out of the house
55． my mother could stop me.

Later, my mother shared her bad feelings with my father, “See what your son has done.” Instead of scolding（责备）or beating me, my father
56． asked my mother to mend the vest.

Later when my mother told me about my father’s response, I felt ashamed（惭愧的）of my bad behavior. My father’s gentle kindness
57． me a lesson which I would never forget.

On that day, I decided not to let anger
58． me any longer. Of course, there are times when I am angry. However, whenever that happens, I
