It was over two months before Christmas when 9-year-old Mary told her father and me that she wanted a new bike. Her old Barbi bike was too old and it often needed repairing. As Christmas came nearer, her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, for she didn’t mention it again.

  Then much to our surprise, on December 24th, she said that she really wanted a bike as the Christmas present more than anything else. We didn’t know what to do. It was too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing presents for our children, parents and also friends till midnight. So there was no time to buy the “right bike” for our little girl. Thinking that we might in this way make our child unhappy on Christmas, we felt guilty and sad.

  Suddenly my husband came up with an idea. “What if I make a little bike out of the clay (泥土) and write a note that she could trade in (交换) the model bike for a real one after Christmas?” So he spent the next 5 hours working on a small clay bike. On Christmas morning, we were very excited and waited for Mary to open the little box with the beautiful red and white bike and the note. She opened the box and read the note loudly. She looked at me and said, “So, does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real one?” Smiling, I said, “yes.”

  Mary had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I would never trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made for me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real one.” At that moment, we thought we would have moved the god to buy her every bike on earth.

27、A Beautiful Reminder

Clara Daly was seated on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles with her mother when a flight attendant asked an urgent (紧急的) question over the loudspeaker:“Does anyone on board know American Sign Language (ASL)?”

Clara, 15 at the time, offered to help. The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf. He is flying home after visiting his sister. He is unable to make any kind of communication with the flight attendants.” she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn't understand what he needed.

Clara had been studying American Sign Language for the past year and she knew she would be able to finger spell into the man’s palm (掌心). So she stood up, walked toward the front of the plane, and rested on her knees alongside 64⁃year⁃old Tim Cook. Gently taking his hand, letter by letter, she unlocked his wishes. She signed, “How are you? Are you OK?” Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed awhile. She soon realized Cook didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk.

So for the next hour, that's what they did. She talked about her family and her plans of becoming a politician in the future. Cook told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn't see her,she looked attentively at his face with such kindness.

People on board thought it was cool. A passenger named Lynette Scribner took a photo and wrote about Clara's act of kindness on the Internet, calling it “a beautiful reminder in this time of too much awfulness…that there are still good people who are willing to look out for each other.”

28、 More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, teaching tools like iPads are used in a lot of courses, i  【1】 language, history and science.

Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos. students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.

The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it. so they can save time for doing other things. Other students. however. might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially h  【2】 to the students who are learning a language at different paces.

The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn(like listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.

There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are s 【3】 in their iPads and are easy to find. Some students spend more time studying now. 'I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait till I get home.' a student explained.

  But many adults c  【4】   that technologies like iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad. he will have f  【5】   chances to have face-to-face communication with others.

However, technologies are a  【6】 _ a part of most students' day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make c 87 with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.
