| A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a box by his feet. He held up a sign which read, "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the box. The boy felt sad. A man walked by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the box.Then he took the sign, turned it around and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the box was full. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?" That man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." What he had written was, "today is a beautiful day and I can not see it." Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.

| I was waiting for the bus to take me down from the Janiculum Hill into the city of Roma when I turned and saw black smoke rising into the sky. It seemed to be coming from my studio, a small, cabin-like study built up against the ancient Roman wall. I"d arrived there three weeks before with my most important thing: the first draft (手稿) of my new novel. The smoke? I thought of the electric coil (电热棒) I"d been using to heat water for the endless cups of tea I need to fuel my writing. What if I had started heating water and forgotten about it? I supposed the coil had turned over from the cup and started a fire that would not only destroy the studio but also the pages of work I had spent years on and I could never rewrite. I hurried back, but soon saw that the smoke came from the old leaves and branches in the neighbor"s garden. I felt relieved (轻松的). But since I was now so close, I went into my study to have a look anyway. The electric coil was red, and the water I"d meant to use for tea before I left had all boiled out of the cup that had already turned over and the red-hot coil had toppled (倾斜) onto the desk and was burning the wood. My pages that might have burnt in a second were only inches away. Drawn by the smoke, I"d come back just in time. "Thank God" I said. Of course, thank my luck. | |||

| A mother, surnamed Wang, wondered why her daughter"s junior middle school had not held a parents" meeting over the course of two terms, so she phoned the school. The teacher told her the school had been meeting with parents every month. Faced with her mother"s discovery, the daughter, Ping Ping, a 13-year-old Grade-One middle school student, admitted (承认) that she had hired the aunt of a classmate to play the role of her mother. She paid the woman 50 yuan per meeting. Wang was very angry and slapped her daughter in the face. However, the girl appeared not to feel guilty (内疚) and stood her ground. "It is not my fault. Your bad behavior and dress style made me lose face," she said. Ping Ping complained that as far back as primary school, her mother had attended the parents" meeting in the same black and white suit and acted as what the daughter described. When teachers invited parents to say a few words at the meeting, Wang often spoke with a very strong local dialect (方言) while the other parents spoke fluent Mandarin and made brief speeches. Fearing that her mother would become a laughing stock (笑柄), Ping Ping decided to prevent her from coming to parents" meeting. She hired her classmate"s aunt to attend the parents" meeting in her mother"s place. Mrs. Zhang, a psychologist, said it was common for young people to feel that other people"s parents were more attractive and educated than their own. The incident helps make people realize misunderstanding can occur between parents and young children when they do not talk to one another. "Teachers should help students understand the hardships parents face and organize more group activities for parents and children," Zhang said. "Parents also need to communicate with their children regularly and try to behave themselves to become role models. | |||
