that bus. Some of the girls work as maids. They get off at each stop in ones, twos or threes.
But at one corner something wonderful happens. Before the bus stops, a little dog races out of the nearest
house. He doesn"t look at two of the maids who get off. But for the third he has a joyful "Hello!". From head
to tail, his little body wags his happiness. Everyone on the bus watches until the maid and the dog go into the
house.
One day not long ago, the maid wasn"t on the bus. I wondered if the dog would be waiting for her. Sure
enough, he was!
He stood at the back door of the bus for a minute. I could see his joyful welcome turning into fearful
worry. Where was she?
The driver closed the back door. The dog raced to the front door. It, too, shut in his face. Everyone on the
bus felt sad. Poor little pup! He looked so unhappy, standing there! The driver couldn"t stand it. He opened the
door and looked down at the dog. "She didn"t come today," he said, in a loud, kind voice.
A man in a front seat leaned forward. "Maybe she will come tomorrow," he called.
The dog wagged his tail as if to say "thank you." He watched the bus as we pulled away. Then he turned to
trot home-alone.
The next day everyone on the bus was happy to see the maid back again. Yes, the dog was waiting for her.
The welcome he gave her was even warmer and more delighted than usual. We all smiled at one another.

school (寄宿学校) students break serious rules, like using 6 , getting drunk or cheating in their studies. The
punishments given to such students are 7 by a DC Rep, a house adviser, two student representatives, the
cluster president and the cluster dean. I was interested in becoming a DC Rep for my cluster, Pine Knoll, 8
so were other students. We had to hold an election and Ms Griffith asked us to write 9 to be sent to
everyone in Pine Knoll.
I thought hard about what to write. I didn"t want to make any 10 , because they are difficult to keep. So I
started my speech by explaining 11 I wanted to become a DC Rep. "I want to serve Pine Knoll and also learn
how American boarding schools carry out discipline," I wrote 12 .

| Sometimes you make a wish, but when it comes, you decide you don"t want it. That"s what happened with Micky"s "birthday wish". Our family tradition is that you make a wish before you blow out the birthday candle. After he blew out the candle, Micky told us that his wish was to win a prize in the Pine Ridge-match. We quickly told Micky, "If you tell people your wish, your wish won"t come true." So we lit the candle again, and he made another wish. Micky and Paul were both supposed to start playing at 5:30. When Micky reported to the check-in table, the game organizers told him his opponent (对手) had phoned and said he was coming late. The officials told Micky he could choose not to play and be declared the victor of the first round of competition. But Micky said he didn"t want to win by not playing. He wanted the experience of playing a great player. Finally, the beast showed up. He was tall, smiling and relaxed. His serve (发球) was like lightning. Micky had some good returns, but he lost quickly, 6-1, 6-0. We congratulated Micky on having some good returns and a few great serves. And we noted that he had won the first game. "I didn"t win that game," Micky said. "I think he just gave it to me at the beginning because he arrived late." "It was a birthday present." I said, smiling. "No, I refused my birthday present," Micky said. In his eyes, his "birthday present" had been the chance to win by his opponent"s being late. Micky ended up winning the "consolation prize (鼓励奖)" a small prize that we didn"t know existed until Micky earned it by being undefeated in the consolation bracket (档次). We"ll" never know what Micky"s second wish was-the wish he didn"t share with us. It seems to me that no matter how many birthdays you celebrate, as long as you enjoy challenges, you will never be "old". | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Teaching second grade is always a challenge. Each student arrives at school with his own needs and difficulties. One year, a student called Billy 1 me with his behavior as well as his academic requirements. He struggled daily with his 2 emotions and often became angry or violent. I knew that, to make 3 progress, his emotions needed controlling. One 4 I tried to help Billy was to have him come directly into the classroom when he arrived at school. Billy"s mom would 5 me to alert (警告) me to a particularly emotional morning at home. Then, I would focus on 6 his anger and calming him down before the other students arrived. One week our class was studying 7 . I thought one way to bring learning into the classroom was to bring my dog Rocky to school for the day. That day began as normal. I was preparing activities focused on dog themes 8 I was told that Billy had a 9 morning at home and I might need to get him 10 . As I was talking to his mom, Billy 11 into the classroom. To Billy"s 12 , Rocky immediately ran up to his new 13 , wagging his tail and licking Billy"s face with doggy affection. Billy couldn"t 14 Rocky"s charm (魅力) and began laughing as his anger melted away. Throughout the day, Billy never left Rocky"s side, feeding him, being gentle with him and even 15 the other students while Rocky was sleeping. Billy was known for doing anything he could to avoid 16 , but on this day he found a good dog story, "Clifford"s Puppy Days," and read it to Rocky. How 17 I was at the sight of Billy reading happily! My little dog was able to 18 Billy"s day from one of anger and frustration to one of laughter, gentleness and 19 . That day Rocky more than helped me with my 20 ; he helped to change the life of a child! After that Billy"s behavior definitely improved. | |||||||||||||||||||||
