Tyler was a troublesome student. He sat in the back row. Every time I called him to answer questions, he'd reply with a flip（轻率的）answer. If he got it wrong, he would get very angry.
    Usually kids could sit quietly in class. However, Tyler was just loud. One day, Tyler was talking while I was teaching. I said to him, “Tyler, why not join in our discussion instead of having one of your own?” He got up from his chair, pushed it over, and shouted something I can't remember. I sent him to the office and he received a week's out-of-school punishment.
    The week was a wonderful time for me, but when it came to an end, I began to feel worried. So I came up with a plan. On the day of his return, I told him I wanted to start over with him. If he felt like he was going to lose control in class, he could step outside the door for a moment.
    From then on, Tyler was a changed student in my classroom. In fact he was a smart child and he even stopped a fight between two students one day. And he never used the privilege（特权）to leave the class for a moment. I believe that just letting him decide for himself made all the difference.
    When the year was over, he wrote me a thank-you note about how good the year had been for him. I still have it today and find it very moving to reread when I get stressed about teaching.

Pandas are one of China's treasures. They are so lovely that many foreign tourists come to China to see them every year. 

Some of the foreigners even choose to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} pandas. Abe Nobuko from Japan, is one of them. She came to Sichuan many years ago and worked {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a panda keeper. When Abe Nobuko was three years old, her grandmother bought {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a toy panda. The little girl {#blank#}4{#/blank#} it very much. She went everywhere with it. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Abe grew up, she learned a lot about pandas. 

One day, her mother {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to her, "You like pandas so much, Why don't you find a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} that has something to do with pandas?" Abe thought it was a great idea. In order to work in the panda zoo, Abe learned {#blank#}8{#/blank#} in college. After graduation, she came to China to study about the animal protection. Three years later, she started working at a panda base in Sichuan. 

Abe does her best to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the pandas at the base are healthy and happy. The job is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} , but Abe never complains (抱怨). "I love pandas and I love this job," she says. 

Do you like pandas? If you do, then try to learn as much about pandas as you can!

Visiting My Farm Home Come and see where I live!

I live on a farm. It's a big, happy farm with lots of animals and plants.

I always wake up with the roosters every day. The roosters(公鸡) wake us up. Their crowing says," Time to play and work!"

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} They eat breakfast while I pet their soft fur and feathers.

My grandfather plants seeds on the farm. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. We water them and wait for them to grow into big, green plants.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} After we finish our work, my friends come over. We play and have lots of fun in the fresh air.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Before dinner, I pick the best vegetables from our garden. They taste so good with mom's cooking. We all sit down for a big meal. We talk and laugh, and it's the best time of the day.

At night, the farm is quiet. I look at the stars before I go to bed, and they twinkle back at me.

Which is your favorite farm animal and why?(15 词以内) {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
