When I was twelve years old, my family were the first black people to move into an all white part of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Many of our new neighbou rs weren’t very welcoming. Some of them said angrily that we should return to where we came from. The children sometimes threw stones at me or drove me home from school.

Miss Bean showed her respect (尊重) for me by teaching me just like anyone else. Instead of being unnoticed, I was given a chance to show that I was clever. Miss Bean was the first teacher who ever made me think for myself. She always wanted to know what I thought about difficult questions. She expected me to have my own idea. Miss Bean was teaching me that thinking for oneself was the important way to education.

One day, when I was not paying attention in class, Miss Bean suddenly threw an eraser (橡皮) at me. The eraser hit me right on the hand and sent my pencil flying. The whole class were very surprised at first, then started laughing. This event became famous in the school and, because it happened to me, the students wanted to get to know me. S o that’s the story of how Dorothy Bean made me her target (靶子), and how I became just another kid in school.

In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and regard them as their good friends. Before they keep them at their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections (打针) so that they won’t carry disease (疾病).

January and February are the coldest 90 of the year, while the warmest are often July and August. The difference in temperature between winter and summer is not so 91

Let me tell you a story. One of my good friends lives with six hundred animals on the Greek Island of Kyklos. There is not enough water on the island, t 92 there is a lot all around it. Ever since he left school, he has travelled all over the world collecting animals for his o 93 zoo. He hoped to collect at least two examples of every sort of animals on his island. He writes books about his travels, and about his wonderful animals that he collects. The money from his books helps him to p 94 for all the food that these animals eat. My friend told me that when he was out looking for water last week , he found oil. He n 95 money for his travels, and for his zoo, and a little oil can buy enough water for a long time, but he knows that if he tells anybody else about it, it will be the e 96 of his zoo and his life’s work. So I think he will not tell anybody e 97 you and me about what he found — because oil and water can’t be p ut together . Oil may bring g 98 trouble to his animals than not having enough water . Do you think so?

It was a very foggy day in London. Mr Smith had arrived from Edinburgh to go to a very important meeting, but no buses or taxis were running because the drivers were not able to see more than a yard in front of them. It was still early for his meeting, so he thought that he would walk to the office. But he saw that nobody was even trying to walk anywhere.

While he was standing there, saying unhappy things about the fog, and thinking that he would have to telephone to the office and say that he was not able to come, a young man came up to him and said, "Sir, if you want to go somewhere, I can guide you."

Mr Smith was very surprised and could hardly believe his ears. He asked, “How can you find the way when there is thick fog everywhere?”

"Don't worry, sir," answered the young man. "Believe me." So Mr Smith told the young man where he wanted to go, and they started. They walked quite fast, turning corners and crossing roads in different places.

At last, Mr Smith thought, "Perhaps this man is foolish, he would show me a wrong place." But a minute later, the young man stopped and said, "Here is the place, sir." Mr Smith was surprised to find that he had really reached the office. He gave the young man a pound and then said, "How did you find the way in the fog?" "I am blind, sir," answered the young man, "but I know London well, and it is exactly the same for me in the fog."
