After thirty years in the classroom, I have come to realize that teacher's behavior can make a world of difference for a child. This is one such1.

    While I was attending a party being2at a high school one evening, I looked around and noticed a young girl who looks a little familiar. I thought she had been a 3of mine. I tried to remember her name but I couldn't. I didn't feel 4 with myself, as I have always been able to5 the students that I knew in the past.

    Her eyes met mine and she threw her 6 around me and said, “Mrs. G, it's me, Sarah, and I'm still writing!” The memories 7 . I felt something different in my heart. You see, Sarah was 8 a student in my classroom. Sarah's mother had gone to a big city and had remarried. And her father had 9 her. She was sent to live with her grandparents the year I met her. Sarah was 10, often in trouble and often in the office.

    It was during one of those office visits that I first met her. She was writing. I introduced myself to her and asked her 11 she was writing. Sarah shared her story with me. I knew it was a way for her to get away from her pain. So she always put her 12on paper. Every morning before school she would come into my classroom and we would work on her 13skills.

    Our conversation that evening was filled with hope. She expected to go to college. Driving home, I 14 the influence for both good and bad that teachers have put upon their students. Taking the time to 15 with a child has the power to change that child's life. That's why I teach.

    Before Father's Day.I found my father was unhappy because he was out of work.I decided to make him happy by buying him a special Father's Day gift.

    One day after school I 1to the Agins which was known for fashions and styles.I told Agins that I was looking for a Father's Day present.

    “Do you think he'd like a2？”she asked.“I think he may.”I told her.

    She3 a Swiss watch and I told her that I would like it.

    “How much money do you have?”she asked.

    “4dollars.”I replied.

    “You're so lucky!” she told me.“It's only $ 11.You still have $ 1 for the5.”She packed the watch and I thanked for my business.and I rode off home with the gift under my arm.

    When my father opened the gift，he was very6.“Where did you get it?”

    “I bought it at the Agins.It cost me $ 11.”I said.My father was shocked into silence.

    Many years later，the watch cost several hundred dollars，7I appreciated (赞赏) how wonderful Agins had been to me.I always felt regretful (后悔的) that I never had a8 to thank her.

    “What really surprises me to this day...my daughter.” My father said，“Letting you have the watch for 11 dollars was unbelievable (不可相信的).But the fact that she let you leave the9with a dollar for the card was a touch (触动) of kindness.I'll never10it.”

    Three years ago, I got to know a poor lady named Rose. She had no children and lived alone. When I went to visit her, I always took her some1and food. One day she asked me to have coffee and delicious food for lunch at a restaurant near her home.

    2the way, I began to worry: I knew that she had no money, but if I offered to3the lunch, I was afraid I must hurt her.

    There were many people in the4and all of them were happy. Rose told me to sit and drink coffee by the window. Then she went into the5. I didn't know what happened. After about 20 minutes, she came out with some food. Then we started to enjoy the delicious food together. She told me that the restaurant allowed people to work for a meal6they had no money. The restaurant also might give them a free meal if they were not7to work, especially for the disabled.

    I 8remember the beautiful afternoon I shared with Rose. We had a meal, and Rose paid for it by her work. The weather was9and bright, and everyone's smile was warm and bright as well.

    I'm still thinking that life cannot be easy to us, but we can still do something for our friends and other people. The world will be10if everybody would like to share happiness with others.

    One day I was watching a movie at home and tears dropped from my eyes as I saw a moving picture. My three﹣year﹣old son came to me and asked me why I was crying. I 1 silent as I couldn't explain to him it was just an emotional（情感的） thing. To my surprise, he2 my face with his little hand and said, "Dear Mom, stop crying! You see3 will be fine. You're my good girl. So just get up and let's get ready for school." On hearing him saying this to me I could not help4. It was so funny for a child to say so. Later I5 that he had repeated almost the6 thing that I told him when he was crying.

    The first time a child begins to speak, he tries to7 what his parents have been telling him for a long time. Usually parents8 with the words "Mama" "Papa" and so on. But as the child continues learning and possibly starts speaking on his own without being9 we as parents always10he's still being guided by us. The only11 is that we're now doing that in a more passive （被动的）way than before. We always use words that we don't want our child to say, and when he says those words, we12where he has learned them. Even then, some of us don't realize that the child has learned the words only from13 only. Instead, we start to put the blame （ 指责） on either his friends or somebody who has talked to him when we are not present.

    So if you want your child to have perfect14, you'll have to set a good example to him. And if you can't do this, you have no right to expect your child to have such a thing. After all, the parents' words and behavior have a great15 on their children.

    More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that's why there are about 1.4 billion bicycles and only about 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!

    Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighbourhood. You may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and benefit (受益) from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don't even have to ride all the way.

    Folding (可折叠的) bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by accessing on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travellers.

    Health Benefits of Bicycling:

    It helps to prevent heart diseases.

    Bicycling helps to control your weight.

    A 15-minute bike ride to and from work three times a week burns off five kilos of fat in a year. Bicycling can improve your mood (心情).

    Exercise like bicycling has been shown to make people feel better, more relaxed and self-confident. Bicycling is healthier than driving.
