As a graduate student, I got my first job as a dance teacher at a community college. 1 I did the same things to earn my bread.
One day, a mother, took her daughter, Emily, to attend my jazz class. I had to pay more 2 to the girl because she had a cerebral palsy(脑瘫) and had to 3 her sleeping difficulties. Her mother needed to come along to my class for 4 her.
Because of the cerebral palsy, Emily's 5 seemed a little strange, but she soon became the hardest-working student in my class. Emily always kept smiling, it seemed that she would never feel 6 for herself. Some days later, I found that Emily sometimes missed my class. But when she came to my class, she would arrive 7 with her mother. She always came to chat with me, and I knew she practiced a lot and 8 all the lessons she had learnt.
One day, she talked about the reason why she was9 at times. She was working in a special project — which was set up for people like her — to make their life meaningful. As her teacher, I couldn't help 10her spirit.
Emily kept learning. Around half term, Emily's mother came alone. She told me her daughter would 11 attend the course again because of her illness. I felt very bad. However, she added, those days had been the most 12time in Emily's life. Her words 13 me a lot. Then she gave me a cute Teddy Bear, which was made by Emily for thanking my patience.
Years 14, I still kept the Teddy Bear. 15 I wanted to give up, the bear would remind me to go ahead.
Rob Frenette had problems with bullies(欺辱) at school for eleven years. He was often lonely and scared. When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences. They also wanted to hear his ideas to stop bullying.
After that, Rob continued his studies at school, but in his free time he helped other people with bullying problems. With a friend Katie Neu, he made a website called www. bullyingcanada. ca. Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying, in both English and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team. Every weekend Rob has to answer e — mails to the website. He also speaks to children, teachers and members of government around the country about bullying.
Rob's most important message is," When bullies are unkind to you, it isn't your fault. There's nothing wrong with you, so you should try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that people care about your problems. You just have to find those people. "
One of Rob's ideas is" Blue Day", a special day for stopping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue clothes and in class they learn how to stop bullying. More than 150 Canadian schools now celebrate Blue Day, but Rob won't stop until there's a Blue Day in every school in Canada.
a. Rob and his friend made a website. b. Rob was bullied at school.
c. Rob created "Blue Day". d. Rob told his story in public.

What is a working day like for an employee?
Nowadays, most workers spend eight hours working at their desks every day. Many companies make rules. They ask workers not to come late or leave early. But in the future, there may be no offices any more. People will have meetings through the Internet instead of sitting in the same room. Workplace and time will be far more flexible. To meet their needs, workers can have flexible start and finish time or work at home.
Citrix, a leader company in mobile technology, released a report last month. According to it, office place will be 17 percent smaller in 2020. The workplace will provide just seven desks for every ten workers. By that time, 29 percent of people will no longer work in a traditional office. They will do their work at home, in hotels or in coffee shops. The trend that fewer employees will work in the office is called the mobile work style. "Mobile" means to move. A quarter of companies around the world have taken up this work style.
For employee, a mobile work style allows people to make use of their time and workplace free. It helps cut their travelling fees and makes for a better balance between work and play. For companies, the new work style saves them money. However, as workers may connect their companies in different ways at different places, employers need to pay more attention to protecting their data and information.
Mick Hollison, vice president of Citrix, is a supporter of the mobile work style idea. "The result of a mobile work style is a stronger organization with high ability people doing their best," he said to the Investor's Business Daily.
