27、When my daughter Sara was in the fifth grade,she came to me with a problem.“Marcy hates me!” she cried.“Because Kathy is my friend,too.She wants me to be her friend and nobody else’s.You talk to Marcy.You tell her that I want to be her friend,but I can have other friends,too!”
Oh!I looked at her for a few moments,wondering how I got into this mess,when suddenly an idea came to me.
Picking up two baskets from the living room,I explained,“When everyone is born,he or she has a little basket.This little one here is yours.The big one is mine.As you grow,so does the basket.You can see your little basket is inside mine because when you were born,there were too many things you couldn’t do for yourself.I did everything you couldn’t do on your own.”
She nodded.
“Well,as you grew older and began to do some things on your own,I began placing a few more things in your basket.When you learned to tie your shoes,that went in your basket.”
She said softly,“I can tie my own shoes.”
“Right.As you grow older,there will be more and more things you must do on your own.” As I spoke,I gradually took her basket out of mine and handed it to her.“You will finally carry your own basket with things only you can do.”

28、At thirteen, I was diagnosed(诊断)with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”
She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”
I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “ See what you can do when you keep trying?”

B.A teacher can open up a new world to students.
C.Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.

29、Now that newsrooms(新闻编辑室) are becoming less popular in the US,young people have begun to tell their own stories.
GlobalGirl Media,an organization that teaches teenage girls digital(数码的) storytelling skills for free,was started by award-winning filmmakers Amie Williams and Meena Nanji in Los Angeles in 2010.

This film and others the girls had made were shown to parents and friends on the last day of the academy, celebrating their hard work.
“It’s their story,and nobody knows how to tell it better than they do.”Williams said.
“These girls are from really difficult backgrounds. They feel trapped sometimes. They feel alone.”Williams said.“The camera gives them a way to look at their world in a different way and get out of that feeling.’’
Girls in the program practice their skills and build confidence by going out in the community and interviewing people for the short films.Many of them had no experience, but found they had good storytelling skills.
“I work with these girls. Every day I leave gratefully,because I know that.due to the work we're doing with them,things will be better,”said GlobalGirl Media summer academy project director Heather Faison.

31、 (一) Not that Charlie’s own life was easy! He was born in a poor family 【1】 1889. His parents were both music hall 【2】 (perform). You may find 【3】 astonishing that Charlie 【4】 (teach) to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was common in acting families at this time, especially 【5】 the family income was often uncertain. 【6】 (luck), his father died, 【7】 (leave) the family even 【8】 (bad) off, so Charlie spent his childhood looking 【9】 his mother and his brother.
