I can still remember when I met my best friend. She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to 1 me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 2 to look at each other. Soon we lost the 3 and started playing with each other. In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her. She was 4 family problems and I deserted her to be with the 5 people. None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had 6 . However, every summer we 7 always sit at each other"s house and watch soap operas, and talk about all the boys we liked. It was last year when I noticed the problem. I guess l was 8 devoted in high school to 9 she needed someone there for her. Anyway, she made a new best friend and so did I. Then I didn"t know why, 10 she started cutting herself! She then was diagnosed (诊断) with clinical depression At first, I was very 11 , but we still stayed in 12 . I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend basically 13 her and people were calling her 14 . Yesterday she came to me and said:"I never knew what a best friend was 15 you were the only person that would stop me cutting. I 16 you so much, and you didn"t even know you were 17 me." We both cried. And I guess a kind of 18 from my life so far is never to give up on your friends. Even if they aren"t as cool as others, or people think they are crazy, they need 19 there. If you desert them, you will only be 20 yourself. |

It can 1 all kinds of barriers 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 five-year-old 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 (膝上). 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 l 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, Imet 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 out 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.

The couple, visiting from Texas, had booked a room for eight nights. "They wanted a sterile (消毒了的) environment, "Theodore said. "They should have rented a room in a hospital, maybe an operating room. This hotel is clean, but it isn"t that clean." Theodore said that, on the very first day, the couple bmught all the sheets, pillowcases and bedspreads down to the rmin hall and just dropped them next to the front desk. They stood there next to this pile of bedding while other guests looked, pointed, and mumured. The hotel got three cancellations within the hour from people who witnessed this strange event. When Theodore asked the couple what the problem was, they said that their bedding was filthy and they wanted it replaced. The couple could not identify any specific "filth" on the bedding. The wife just said, "we"re paying good money to stay here. How dare you doubt us? We know the filth is there. That"s all the proof you need." Theodore called room service, and the bedding was replaced immediately. Early the next evening, however, the couple marched to the front desk again and demanded seven cans of sterilizer. "We need a can for each night. We have to spray the phone, the TV, all the door handles, the toilet handle,the shower stall, the faucet, the sink, and any hotel staff entering our room." Worried, Theodore politely suggested that a hotel more suitable for them was just around the corner. He then called ahead to reserve a "very clean" room, and gave them free transportation in the hotel Rolls-Royce. A1so, he told the couple that they wouldn"t be charged for the second day. The couple were surprlsed but they really liked the idea of free room for a night and that expensive car service. | 1.

They are totally separated, mixing with 1 . As they drive past 2 they keep their eyes looking away and make no sign of acknowledgement.

On moving into this neighborhood, I was 5 of these two but decided I would make up my own mind. This proved qulte a 6 to me as more than once either the mother or the daughter would knock on my door and blast (猛烈抨击) me with some 7 or other.
