Liu Jiaoyang, 16, carefully winds a bobbin(绕线筒) with thread, places it on her sewing machine (缝纫机) and then presses her foot down to begin sewing.While she" s doing this, she pretends to guide fabric (布料)through the machine.Liu looks forward to the class when she can work on a piece of real cloth, and make a beautiful dress.
Each Tuesday afternoon, after the bell rings for the fourth period, Liu becomes a fashion designer.At the same time, the rest of the students at the High School Attached to Yunnan Normal University in Kunming are also having classes a little bit different from the usual ones.Some students dance, others create robots, and still others review films.These are just a few of the other 27 elective (选修的) courses besides Liu"s sewing class that the school began to offer last month.
"The fashion design class has become the bright point of my week.I learn how to choose colors and fabrics (织物) as well as sewing and sketching (素描) skills.It"s all helping me to realize the dream of becoming a fashion designer I" ve had since I was a little girl, " Liu said.
Design is Liu" s favorite, but for other students the electives are interesting lessons which relieve (舒缓) the pressures of schoolwork.Some students, for example, are learning how to play bridge.Chen Xi,15, is one of them.She said, "Many people think that playing a card game like this in class is a waste of time.But in fact, bridge is a very challenging game that helps develop memory and math skills."

Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California"s Santa Na Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles form home. I couldn"t reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I"d just head east.
A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. "Four more lights," she said. There was another bus I could take form there. This clearly was going to be a long night.
She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its wind-shield. It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.
"I just can"t leave you here, "she said. "This isn"t the nicest place. I"ll give you a ride home."
“You’ll drive me home in the bus?” I asked, perplexed(迷惑的).
“No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said.
“It’s a long way,” I protested(抗议).
“Come on,”she said. “I have nothing else to do.”
As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor along.”she said.

Ibrahim became disabled after contracting polio (小儿麻痹症) when he was three years old. At first his parents, like many other parents of disabled children in Niger, did not want to send him to school. They were worried he would be laughed at by his classmates.  
Despite his disability, and his parents’ doubts, Ibrahim was determined to go to school. “When I was eight,” Ibrahim says, “other kids of my age were going to school while I stayed at home. I did not like that. So, I pestered (缠着) my parents until they finally let me go to school.”
Ibrahim’s parents sent him to a private school nearby. Although the journey to and from school was a short one, it still wasn’t easy for Ibrahim. He had to use his hands to help him move along, protecting them with plastic slippers. But at least he was getting an education.
However, after only a year in school, Ibrahim’s education was interrupted when his parents separated. His mother did not have the means to continue paying for his tuition.
In 2007, Ibrahim received some money to be fitted with a leg brace (支架), corrective shoes and his first pair of crutches (拐杖). Now that he was more mobile than before, the most important thing for him was to find a way to go back to school. 
“I wanted to start school again last October,” Ibrahim says. “After my mother told me she could not afford it, I went to visit some of my relatives for support. And I collected 5,000 francs CFA (US $8) to pay my tuition for half a year. I will find the rest of the money somehow.”
Ibrahim attends a school in which he is the only disabled student. According to his teacher, he is among the top five students in a class of 55.
小题1:Why did Ibrahim’s parents prefer Ibrahim to stay at home? 
A.There was a lot of housework for him to do.

C.There were not enough schools in the country.

B.He went to school on his parents’ bicycle.
C.He walked to school with the support of his hands.
D.He walked to school using a pair of crutches.
