Question

【题目】 Jessica was a 9-year-old girl from a small village. She finished attending primary school till 4th grade at her village. She went to study in a city school nearby from her 5th grade. However, upon seeing her simple clothing and knowing she is from a small village, other students started to make fun of her.

One day, the teacher told the students to be ready for a surprise test! She told everyone to write down 7 wonders of the world. Everyone started to write the answer quickly. However, it took Jessica quite a while before she started writing.

After everyone handed in their answer paper, the teacher came and asked Jessica, “What happened, dear? Don’t worry. Just write what you know as others have learned about it a few days ago.”

Jessica replied, “I was thinking that there are so many wonders, which 7 I can pick to write!” and then she handed her answer paper to the teacher. The teacher started checking everyone’s answer and most of them had answered them correctly such as The Great Wall of China, Stonehenge, Great Pyramid of Giza, Leaning Tower of Pisa, etc.

The teacher was happy that her students had remembered what she had taught them. At last, she picked up Jessica’s answer paper and started to read. As she saw Jessica’s answer, she was shocked. Then she read out her answer loudly, “The 7 Wonders are —To be able to See, To be able to Hear, To be able to Feel, To Laugh, To Think, To be kind, To Love!”

The whole class fell into dead silence. What great wonders! Today, a girl from a small village reminded them of the most valuable gifts that god has given them, which are truly wonders!
