Anna was excited about starting her first day in the new school. However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness(孤独)over the next few days. "Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!
What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don't like talking with strangers (陌生人). So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how's everything going?" In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.
When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.
In fact, saying “hi” or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!

     Lucy Brown teaches English in a junior high school. She loves her students very much, and she works hard. She often tells them some interesting stories in class and her students like her, too.
     Yesterday, Lucy found some boys always made faces（做鬼脸）in class. She didn't want them to do that again, so she got all her students together and said, “Boys and girls, when I was young, I liked making faces in class, too. But one day, my grandmother told me not to do that again. She said, "If you make faces again, you will be ugly when you grow up." So you shouldn't do that again.”
Some students thought she was right, but some students didn't. One of the boys put up his hand. “Oh, Tom! What do you want to say?” asked Lucy.
    The boy stood up and said, “Miss Brown, you must regret（后悔）listening to your grandmother now.”

Christian Bucks may be young, but he sure knows how to be a good friend. When the York, Pennsylvania, second-grader noticed that some of his schoolmates didn't have anyone to play with during the break time, he came up with a way to help them. He suggested having something called a “buddy bench” put in on his school's playground.
A buddy bench is a special bench where students can sit if they are feeling bored or lonely. It's usually brightly colored with “BUDDY BENCH” in big letters. Other students can then go to the bench and ask them if they would like to play or talk.
“We show we care about others when we ask others to play,” Christian told reporters.
Christian first learned about buddy benches when his family was considering moving to Germany. He saw a buddy bench in a handbook for a German school and thought it would be a great way to fight loneliness on the playground at his own school, Roundtown Elementary School.
Christian told Roundtown's headteacher, Matthew Miller, about his idea at the end of last school year. Miller immediately decided to get a buddy bench. He had Christian pick out its style and bright colors.
“I was the first person who got to sit on the bench when it arrived at Roundtown,” says Christian. He hopes the bench will help “grow our dream circle of friends”.

A young man once went into town and bought himself a pair of trousers. When he got home, he went to his bedroom and put them on. He found that they were about two inches too long. He went to the kitchen. His mother and sisters were washing up the tea things there. "The new trousers are too long," he said. "They need shortening by about two inches. Could one of you do it for me, please?" His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything.
After his mother finished washing up, she went to her son's bedroom and shortened the trousers by two inches.

Later on, after supper, the elder sister remembered her brother's trousers. She was a kind-hearted girl, so she went quickly to his brother's bedroom without saying anything to anyone, and shortened the trousers by two inches. The younger sister went to the cinema, but when she came home, she also remembered her brother's trousers. "I nearly forgot that." She thought. Then she shortened them by two inches.
The younger sister went to the cinema，but when she came back，she，too，remembered what her brother had said．So she ran upstairs and took two inches off the legs of the new trousers．

Today was quite an amazing day for me. It was the day that my father returned home from Russia. He had been away from us for over a year. I had missed him more than words could ever say. Although we were proud of him, we hoped that he could wake up under the same roof (屋顶) as us. Now the day had finally arrived. He had worked hard and it was now time for him to return home.

Mom woke us at 6 a.m. to go to the airport. My father's flight (航班) was due to arrive at 9:30. “We don't want to be late!” she kept saying as she woke everyone up. She had no need to remind me! I quickly dressed, washed and had breakfast. I could not take my eyes off the clock all morning. Time was going so slowly. When it was 8:45, my mom told us all it was time to go. We all ran to the car and made our way quickly to the airport.

We arrived just after 9 and waited patiently. But 9:30 came and went and our father's flight had still not arrived. I kept asking Mom where he was. She just kept smiling and saying he'd be there soon. Another 10 minutes went by, and suddenly a tall man appeared in the crowd. There was my father standing before me. He dropped his bags to the floor and hugged my sister and me. “I've missed you so much,” he said. We all cried together. I never want my father to be away for such a long time.

Today was pretty perfect.

As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Longzhou, Guangxi. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn't what I expected. It didn't look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and the other for Grades 4, 5 and 6. There was a third one for me.

The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Beijing. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level（水平）. To my surprise, though the test was very easy, over half of the students couldn't pass it. I knew they needed me.

I was busy preparing lessons, reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hard-working children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and we are now good friends.

I have worked in Longzhou for a year now. I'm happy, and the experience has been very useful for me. I love the small village and the children. In fact, I would like to continue working here.
