In a small open courtyard, outside a school building, there were flowers here and there. In the sunshine,a        was lying on the grass,reading a book with        concentration. Near her,another child was carefully watering the flowers, while a third was        with his back against a tree and had a        on his knees. He appeared to be drawing or writing something on it. He was       in his task, like the first child.
      the building, there were pleasant carpeted areas. Many children were busy with their tasks in a variety of        while teachers wandered among them, talking to them,        them, and encouraging their efforts.
      I watched this scene on a morning in May years ago, it        to me that a visitor here would        have thought he had entered a formal school. He would have been even more      if he had been told that the children he was        came from different kinds of academic levels.
That        has been staying with me ever since. I have been        about some problems. Why in many schools are our children        asked to acquire skills in a way        from a real-life context(情境)? Why does a        school child so often become a defeated school failure?
Developmental psychologist Margaret Donald once said, “      of the intellectual framework (知识框架) on which we        our teaching is misleading.” In my opinion, a child learns everything in human situation. And if every child could learn in the same way as the children in the school I visited, they would develop better.

解析试题分析: 为什么很多学校要求孩子学东西的方式与真实生活差之甚远?为什么天真活泼的学童如此经常地成为学校失败教育的产物?许多孩子忙着各干各的,老师在他们中间走来走去,与他们说着话。面带微笑,对他们的努力予以鼓励。发展心理学家玛格丽特.唐纳德曾说:“我们教学上所依据的智力架构中,存在着太多的误导。”我认为,孩子是在人文的环境里学习各种东西。如果每个孩子以我所参观的那所学校同样的方式学习,他们的发展会好的多。

I have a friend who had a stammer (口吃) in his childhood, but he dreamed of becoming a missionary(传教士). When he told his own desire to his friends and relatives, some of whom laughed at him, and some even held down his enthusiasm       .
"I must change it." said the boy angrily, “I believe I can speak very      , I will do!"
When it was possible, he would spend an hour       to chickens. He viewed the chickens as living persons,       himself to be the person in the speech.
"In the beginning, the chickens looked so      , then they watched me curiously, putting down the food in the mouths and listening to my words. It seemed as if they had been     by my powerful and effective language. Sometimes they seemed to be listening to me    . Gradually, the effect of this practice became more and more     and I had a better understanding of the exact     of my stammer, so I found the ability to speak more."
"You may not know that my father was always tyrannical(专横的). He     believed in the old saying: 'Young man should be more knowledgeable, but should not    much.' During the whole childhood,      I spoke or commented, he criticized me seriously, which    my shy personality. I used to worry about being     at, so I became a stammer. From then on, I kept    in front of everyone because they didn't want to see my embarrassment. But later I found myself talking in front of chickens, stammers disappeared  , therefore I regained my   ."
Now, the previous boy is the best at speaking and one of the most     missionaries. You can hardly imagine he used to have a serious language    . So when you come across disadvantages, you should believe you can      them by yourself.

I drove to a local supermarket the other day. My shopping list was     and my wallet was light. Still, I needed to get a week’s worth of groceries for my family. I parked my car, looked down at my list, and hoped I could       it all.
As I       the door, I saw a man with kind eyes and a gentle      . He said he was collecting for a local food bank that helped to     the hungry in my area. He handed me a second shopping list of things they could use and asked me to     if I could. I smiled back, took the        and walked into the store. I really wanted to help, but wasn’t sure if I could this time.
I walked through the store, picking up vegetables, soup, spaghetti, bread, milk, cereal, macaroni, bananas, and a dozen other things. I slowly       each item off my list until I was done. When I looked down at my full cart I      again if I even had enough to pay for it all. Then, as I put my own list back into my pocket, I saw the food     list under it. I smiled and decided to trust my heart.
With the food bank in mind, I went over and      two of the biggest boxes of rice the store had and put them in my cart. It took      six dollars out of my wallet to pay for them,       my heart felt six times larger when I did. And when everything was     , I had just enough to pay for it all.
It       so little to make our world a better place. A few dollars can help to fill a child’s       belly(肚子). A smile and hug can help to        a hurting heart. An encouraging word can inspire someone else to live and to love. A random        of kindness can change another’s day and life. It is up to us,       . If we can       a few dollars on rice , then we can share a love that will last forever.

My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this       .
One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and       . All the students were working        a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no        of stopping. I walked down the row and found        was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my       , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on        I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” I felt it best not to       .
After another ten minutes, the students were        to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoebox.Then Donna      hers. She put the lid(盖子) on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel(铁铲) from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to       . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the        of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt.At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and        your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.
Donna delivered the eulogy (悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to        the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is        by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’.May ‘I Can’t’ rest in       . Amen!”
She turned the students        and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the        of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student        and said, “I Can’t,” Donna       pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.

“A” for Attitude
English was always my favorite subject. In my freshman year of high school, I could write a killer composition. In my second year, my teacher        me to give spelling tests to the class. I had a      time of my junior year. Mrs Alexander        me to sit at her desk and take over the class when she had to leave the room. Only my senior English class was       , as we had a teacher right out of college who expected       work. Every student received a "C" or "D" grade the first quarter. But English was still my favorite subject.
I graduated from high school,      early and had children.       about my English, I often helped my kids with their English homework. And I wrote long articles and beautiful poetry as a columnist for a newspaper. Fifteen years later, I went to college, and because I had been an "A" student, I remained an "A" student. I       up to my own expectations.
Yesterday, I        my high school report cards when I was reading old papers. That bundle of report cards        back the old days. I remembered sitting in my advisor's office, explaining that I had always be       at English, and recommending that I did not deserve a '"D" from that inexperienced teacher of my senior year. The advisor was        but unable to change a(an)     . Reading through my old report cards revealed something else too. I wanted to       them or hide them. I was not an "A" student in high school English! Somehow, I had         myself of this, when the grades clearly reflected an average student with an       "A" or "B" but mostly "C” S.
Had I lived up to those grades and       myself according to those letters, I would have never confidently sought my writing career. Had I       my early grades instead of myself, I would have allowed my fear of failure to       enthusiasm and damage my creativity. Instead, I       my younger self as an "A" English student, except for that undeserved "D".

Joshua, my son, is fifteen years old. He was born with Down Syndrome (唐氏综合症). In the last fifteen years. I have experienced many difficult and      stories. However, right now I want to just stick to the topic of     . When Joshua was born, they      us not to “waste our time, energy or money". They claimed that our son would never accomplish anything. They told us he would never walk, talk or learn to use the toilet.     , we were not about to accept the words. However, we weren’t really sure what to expect.
Therefore, we expected him to develop at his own pace, with a lot of help and encouragement, but only to develop little. We decided that      we saw progress we could never give up. Very early on, we knew in our hearts that we had to have high expectations, but how high? We could not set goals for him that he could not ever possibly reach.     , if we did not have high hopes, the chances would be very slim for him to work to his potential.
When Joshua was four and a half years old, his younger sister, CJ, was three and attended the same preschool in a younger class. The school      an art contest and all the children in it presented pictures. The pictures were hung on the wall and the president of the local church, who was not personally      with the children, was appointed to be the     .
On the day of the contest, I made my      through the crowded parents to see CJ’s picture,      it was likely to be hung there, but Joshua's class pictures were not yet up and I didn’t think twice about seeing his picture      leaving the building. You see, I had no expectation that Joshua would win; it was      for me to know that he was able to draw a picture and have it      with those of the other children.
Well, when I returned to      the kids, you can image my      when I discovered that Joshua was the winner from his class! Proud and excited, he told everyone, “I won the contest! I      it! ”
CJ kept insisting that she had won too and it was certainly a      feeling to know that Joshua had achieved something that his  sister had not. After that I decided to keep my expectations     . It seems that most people work to whatever expectations are set for them. Why should Joshua be any     ?
