Last December it was very cold and it snowed a lot. One Saturday, John was playing on the hill near his house with some friends. Suddenly, he fell over and hurt his leg. His friends ran to tell his mother. His mother and brother took him to the hospital.

    The doctor said John had to stay in hospital for four to five weeks. John liked the doctors and the other children in the hospital because they were very friendly. At first he was happy because he didn't have to go to school. He laughed at all of his friends. They had to do a lot of homework. He enjoyed listening to music and watching his favourite television programmes all day.

    But soon the Christmas holidays started. John was still in hospital. He was tired of watching television and listening to his CDs and he wanted to go home. "This is ▲" he thought. He felt sad so he started to cry.

    But then a man came to his room with a bag of presents and a Christmas tree. John knew him from the television. He was a famous sports star who was visiting all the sick (生病的) children. And the man was not the only person who came that day. All the students from John's class came to visit him. And his maths teacher brought him his "favourite" present — some maths homework!

    Henry is nine years old. It is half a kilometer from his home to school, so he goes to school on foot every day. He usually gets home at five in the afternoon.

    It was Thursday, and he came home one hour late. When he came home, his mother asked him, “Why are you late, Henry?”

    “My math teacher Mr. Smith is very angry (生气的）with me and asks you to go to his office tomorrow.”

    “Why does Mr. Smith ask me to go to his office?” his mother asked. “He asked us a question and no one could answer it, but I could.”

    “What a clever boy! Then what was his question?” his mother asked with a big smile.

    “His question was ‘Who put some ice-cream on my chair and made my trousers dirty? "said Henry.

    A blind high school student in Shanghai became famous after getting 623 points at this year's Gaokao. The student, Wang Yun, got 127 points for Chinese, 145 for math and 144 for English. His grade was only 3 points lower than the first one in his city. And the only difference between Wang' s test and other common students' was that his was in Braille (盲文).

    After knowing the result, Wang was just as calm as before. He wasn't so excited like other common students. After Gaokao, Wang still went on learning English and history by himself. And he also went on to play the piano that he stopped for some time because of Gaokao.

    Wang became blind at an early age. But it did not stop him from living a wonderful life.

    Wang's parents, both teachers at Donghua University, sent him to a school for blind children. There he did excellent work in his study as well as sports. What was more, he was very popular in class. Because of his good grades, many other students liked to ask him questions and looked on him as their little teacher.
