Mrs. Thompson came to the 5th grade class and noticed that Teddy was always alone. Also, he did badly in his studies. When she reviewed Teddy’s past records,she find he was a good child at first,but he began to change when his mother got ill. Finally he lost interest in school after his mother’s death.
Mrs.Thompson realized the problem and felt sorry for him. She felt even worse when her students brought her beautifully-covered Christmas presents. His presents were covered with some old paper. Some children laughed when she found a bracelet(手鐲)with some of the stones missing, and a bottle with a little perfume(香水). But she said how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing some perfume on her hand. Teddy stayed after school for a long time just to say,“Mrs.Thompson,today you smelled just like my mom used to.” After the child left,she cried for quite a long time.
On that very day,she taught not only knowledge but also children. As she worked with Teddy,his mind seemed to come alive. By the end of the year,Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.
A year later,Teddy left school. She found a note under her door,from Teddy,saying that she was the best teacher he ever had in his life. After that, these words were repeated in each of his letters to her.
Then after he finished college, Teddy wrote telling her that he had met a pretty girl and was going to get married. He explained that his father was dead,and that he wondered if Mrs.Thompson might sit at the wedding in the place for the mother of the groom(新郎).
Of course,Mrs.Thompson did. She wore the bracelet and the perfume that Teddy remembered his mother wearing on their last Christmas together.
They hugged(擁抱)each other,and Teddy whispered in Mrs.Thompson’s ear,“Thank you,Mrs.Thompson,for making me feel important,and showing me that I could make a difference. ”
Mrs.Thompson,with tears in her eyes,whispered back,“Teddy,it’s not like that. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”

Dear Betty,
I think Bird Flu   is very bad. Many chickens, ducks and birds in our country got the disease.   Some of them died, but some birds flew away and they might carry germs(細(xì)菌) to other places. This is a   serious problem. We must do something to solve it. Let me tell you   what people have to do to keep away from the disease.
* Do morning   exercises every day.
* Open the windows   in the morning.
* Wash hands very   often.
* Eat more   vegetables and less meat.
* Go to bed early.  
I think these are   good for our health. Do you think so?
Yours,
Cindy

The Statue of Liberty, which has been closed to the public since super storm Sandy struck in October, will reopen by July 4.
The Statue of Liberty was presented to the United States by the French people in 1886. It stands at Liberty Island as a welcome to all returning Americans.
It’s five months since the monument and Liberty Island were shut down after the storm.
While the statue itself was not seriously harmed by the storm, several buildings on the island experienced the terrible flood. The way used by ships carrying visitors from lower Manhattan and New Jersey was also destroyed.
It’s good news, it’s a little late, but at least it’s there, and now we’ll watch like an eagle to make sure this promise is kept,” Schumer told NBC New York.
In January, the government spent $59 million repairing both Liberty Island and nearby Ellis Island, which was also damaged in the storm. But the officers have not announced when Ellis Island will reopen. In November, more than a million art works had to be removed from the museum there because of the storm.

The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.
There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!

Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.
Caffeine makes your heart(心臟)beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited(限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems.

If the child has been brought up in a loving, openly communicative environment, the relationship with parents would be a strong one.It is only when there are ongoing troubles in the relationship between parents and the child that there is a breakdown in communication.
When parents are going through difficulties in their own relationship, the child sometimes develops guilt.The child can hold himself or herself responsible for the breakdown in relationship between the parents.This needs to be explained to the child, who won’t speak out this guilt.
The teenage years are emotionally sensitive years to the outside world.For the first time the child realizes his or her position in society.Friends suddenly become more important than parents.It is during this time that the relationship between children and parents is tested.If the bond with parents is strong, the child will not be influenced by the drug and alcohol culture.If the bond is weaker, the child will end up with problems.
During such times, one of the effective ways to deal with the problems is to discuss the problem with the child.As parents, you will need to discuss the results of each choice and then leave the final decision to the child.Forcing parental will on children is counterproductive (適得其反的), especially at this age.Forcing parental will at this time will stop communicating and then you will not know what is happening in their life.Whatever the problem is, the child need never be made to feel lonely.The moment that happens, the possibility of serious self-harm is raised.
Any problem at this age can be dealt with by a flexible (靈活的) way by parents.Discuss things calmly.Leave the decision to the individual.Make yourself available for any help or support that the child hopes.The child will feel comfortable when allowed the freedom of choice.
