25、From the first day he entered my junior-high classroom，James Crum lived in his own world．He was a student with few words．

Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday，we started the Christmas collection of money for the poor people in our school．“Christmas is a season of giving，” I told my students．“By contributing（捐献）to our Christmas collection，you will help to buy food，clothes and toys for the poor people．We will start the collection tomorrow．”

When I called for the contributions the next day，I discovered that almost everyone had forgotten except James Crum．The boy walked slowly to my desk．Carefully，he dropped some money into the small box．

“I don't need milk for lunch，” he said in a low voice．For a moment，just a moment，he smiled．Then he turned and walked back to his desk．

That night，after school，I took our contributions to the head teacher．And I told him the story．“I may be wrong，but I believe James might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him，” I said．

“Yes，” the head teacher nodded．“We must do something to help him．Look．Here is a list of the poor families in our school who most need help through the Christmas collection．”

To my surprise，James Crum and his family were the top names on the list．

1．What was James like?

24、Do you like going into the forest? If you go into the forest with friends，you'd better stay with them．If you get lost，maybe the following will help you．Sit down and stay where you are．Don't try to find your friends--let them find you by staying in one place．There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you．You can shout or whistle（吹口哨）three times．Stop．Then shout or whistle three times again．Any signal（信号）given three times is a call for help．

Always keep shouting or whistling three times together．When people hear you，they will know that you are not just making a noise for fun．They will let you know that they have heard your signal．They will give you two shouts or two whistles．When a signal is given twice．it is an answer to a call for help．

If you don't think that you will get help before night comes，try to make a little house with branches（树枝）．Make yourself a bed with leaves and grass．

When you need some water，you have to leave your little branch house to look for it．Don't just walk away．Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk in order to go back again easily．When you are lost，the most important thing to do is to stay in one place．

23、Jealousy（妒忌）is a very common problem in daily life．It’s everywhere．For example，if someone does better than you，you will get annoyed because you want to be No.1．We may become jealous of a best friend's top marks in an exam，or of the girl in art class who is praised by the teacher all the time．We get annoyed because these good things are happening to someone else but not to us．

It's bad to feel jealous．We should be pleased with the things we have．But we still wish we had the money of this person and the talent of that person．Instead of sharing their happiness，we just feel jealous and unhappy with ourselves．And，too often，these feelings are expressed by speaking ill of the people we envy．

However，envy is also a kind of compliment to others．We see that other people's styles and talents are not the same as our own．By comparing ourselves with others，we can know what we lack（缺乏）．And we can turn this comparison，the envy of others，into a kind of power．

Therefore，being a bit jealous of others lets us know what we are like and what we want to be like．It can push us to become what we really want to be．

1．According to the first paragraph，why do you get annoyed?

A．Because you are an annoying person．

B．Because others do something better than you．

C．Because the teacher doesn't like others．
