Work Day".Students will have a chance to work with their parents. My day took place in my mom"s
work,the York Region Police Department.
When I arrived,a coach was teaching the officers basic combat(格斗) skills. Everyone tried their best
to practice. I could see them sweating and panting (喘气).
The most exciting part of my visit was a stop at the 911 Communication Center. 911 is the same as
110,119 and 120 in China. Every 911 call in the city is answered here. When I entered the center, I
stood beside a call dispatcher (分派人员) arid watched him dealing-with the calls.
Suddenly,the phone rang,he picked it up and a woman cried for help. There was a robbery in her
house. The call dispatcher told her,"Please calm down and move to the safe place quietly. Don"t fight with
them. Just let them take what they want. Please make sure you are not hurt. We are sending officers
there."
He followed the call and found the address. The call dispatcher chose the five closest police cars from the satellite map and clicked(敲键盘) to send the policemen. I saw the police cars from the satellite map were quickly moving to the woman"s house. Five minutes later,they arrived. I asked the call dispatcher
why he sent five cars. He said,"There are different levels of emergencies. Robbery is a high priority (优先 ) ,so we have to send five cars. "

My son Joey was born with club (弯曲的 ) feet. The doctors assured us that with 1 he would be able to walk normally-but would never 2 very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight,you wouldn"t know he had a problem when you saw him walk. The children in our 3 ran around as most children do during play,and Joey would jump right in and run and 4 , too. We never told him that he 5 wouldn"t be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn"t know. In 6 grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than 7 of the others-perhaps he 8 that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come 9 to him. 10 the entire team runs, 11 the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didn"t tell him he probably would never make the team,so he didn"t 12 . He 13 to run four to five miles a day,every day-even the day he had a 103-degree fever.

The 16 ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight 17 and kept running. We never told him he couldn"t run with a 103-degree fever. So he didn"t know. Two weeks later,the names of the team runners were 18 . Joey numbered six on the list. Joey had 19 the team. He was in seventh grade-the other six team members were all eighth graders. We never told him he 20 expect to make the team. We never told him he couldn"t. We never told him he couldn"t do it so he didn"t know. He just did it. | ||||||||||||||
