to reach students in a very special way.It can be the __2_for each child to find their light. I would like to
__3__a story about it.
For a few years I was_4_with the opportunity to teach disabled students.One of my most _5_
students was a fiveyearold girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We
__6_sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to__7_on my lap(大腿). One of her
favorite songs was John the Rabbit.It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the
students__8_twice while singing the repeating phrase, "Oh, yes" Vanessa liked to__9__ her hands
together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and
I clapping together.But she 10 said or sang a word.
One day, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, 11 me in the eye, clapped her tiny
hands twice and said the words,"Oh, yes!"I opened my mouth in 12 and for that moment I was the one who could not speak.When my heart 13 started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to
find her also 14 . Through music, we had made an awesome connection.
Several years later, I met Vanessa on the street in town.She waved with a big 15 on her face and
then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had 16 so many times in our music class.The little
girl, 17 her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever.Every child has the
18 to learn and grow. It is up to us to 19 the way to reach each and every one of our students. We
all must find each child"s 20 .

| People often say that money talks.They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how he or she wants things done.But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power. Anyone in a business will tell you that it is a jungle (丛林) out there.This expression is probably used because the jungle is filled with wild animals and unknown dangers.Sometimes people in business feel competing businesses are as dangerous as wild animals. People in business have to be careful if they are to survive the jungle out there.They must not be led into making bogus investments (投资)．The word bogus began to appear in American newspapers in the 1800s.A newspaper in Boston,Massachusetts said the word came from a criminal (罪犯) whose name was Borghese.Borghese wrote checks to people although he did not have enough money in the bank.After writing the checks,he would flee from the town.So, people who were paid with his checks received nothing.The newspaper said Americans shortened and changed his name Borghese to bogus. People trying to earn money also must be aware of being ripped off.A person who is ripped off has had something stolen,or at least has been treated very unfairly.A writer for the magazine American Speech said he first saw the expression used on a sign t  hat a student carried in a university.The message on the sign was that the student felt ripped off,or cheated.Perhaps the best way to prevent getting ripped off in business is not to try to get rich quickly. | |||

| Dear Daddy, You"ve been gone for six years and I"ve had time to think.Now I"m ready to write this letter to you. For a long time after Mom died,I thought I liked her more because I didn"t like your tough guy attitude and I thought that her softer side was more desirable.In my 15yearold"s mind,I thought you could have stopped my mother from drinking herself to death.Instead,you were off playing tennis and working.Later,I realized that no one could make someone stop drinking. Support is important,but at the end of the day,it is a choice.You were just doing your best. What I have learned is that I am much like you.You taught me selfconfidence.I know if I am prepared to work hard enough for something,I will be successful.This is no small thing.What I"ve realized since you died is that you were always there for me.You fought to ensure that I  got my place on the Quebec badminton team that I had earned.When I got divorced,you came up to see if I had what I needed to take care of the boys and you paid off my car. You taught me not to spend money I don"t have.I"ve always kept to that rule.It has served me well.We always had a good home to live in,nice vacations,and everything we needed and most of what we wanted. You were not a perfect parent and neither am I．My children are much more thankful than I ever was.I am thankful that I had you as my dad.I am still Daddy"s girl and I am proud of it. | |||

| You"ve attended all the classes,done all of your homework and you think you have grasped the material.But then the day of the test comes.Suddenly,you feel so nervous that you can"t answer those questions you knew the answers to just last night.If this sounds like you,you may have a case of test anxiety (焦虑)． Test anxiety can be a real problem.When someone is stressed out over a test,he or she may not be able to do his or her best work.Feeling ready to meet the challenge,though,can keep test anxiety at a proper level. Use a little stress to your advantage.Stress is your body"s warning mechanism (装置)-it"s a signal that helps you prepare for something important that"s about to happen.Instead of worrying too much about the test,take an active way.Let stress remind you to study well before a test.Then you"ll stop your stress from being out of control. Ask for help.Although a little test anxiety can be a good thing,too much of it is another story entirely.If sitting for a test makes your mind go blank and causes you to miss answers that you know, then your level of test anxiety probably needs some attention.Your teacher,your parents,or a tutor can be a useful resource to talk to if you always get too much test anxiety. Be prepared.Many students find that thei  r test anxiety is reduced when they start to study better.It works-the better you know the material,the more confidence you"ll have. | |||

| Information has always been at the center of human communication.Yon may ask why.Well, communication between people contains giving and receiving information. The way we give and receive information today has experienced a revolution in the development of the mass media in the 20th century. The first truly mass communication medium was the newspaper. For the first time in history people could read about events in their country and from around the world every day. However there were two problems with newspapers of that time. Firstly, newspapers were available only in large cities, for getting newspapers to the countryside was a difficult and timeconsuming (耗时的) task. Secondly, newspapers weren"t always reliable, as there was a limited range of opinions. Nowadays, we can choose from a wide variety of sources to get information. Television and the Internet have given us the chance to be informed about everything the minute it happens. Large numbers of radio and TV stations, satellite channels and millions of websites help people keep up with the latest news.People live in history and are part of it. The media have come a long way in the last century and there is no doubt that we now live in the information age. Whatever type of media we choose, it all comes down to the need for information.This will always be a basic need as long as communication is part of human nature. | |||
