题目内容

As Amy Hagadorn rounded the corner across the hall from her classroom, she met with a tall boy from the fifth grade running in the opposite direction．

“Watch it, dwarf (矮子),” the boy shouted, as he kept away from the little third grader. Then, the boy imitated(模仿) the way Amy limped（跛行）when she walked.

Amy closed her eyes for a moment.

“Ignore (忽视)him!” she told herself as she headed for her classroom.

It wasn’t as if he were the only one. It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade, someone teased her every single day. The teasing made Amy feel lonely.

Back home at the dinner table that evening, Amy was quiet. Her mother knew that things were not going well at school. That’s why she was happy to have some exciting news to share with her daughter．

“There’s a Christmas Wish Competition on the newspaper,” she said. “Write a letter to Santa Claus and you might win a prize.”

Out came the pencil and paper and Amy went to work on her letter. She wrote:

Dear Santa Claus,

My name is Amy. I am 9 years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me, Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy（大脑性瘫痪）. I just want one day where no one laughs at me.

Love,

Amy

The next day, a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa Claus made the front page of the News Sentinel. The little girl’s story spread quickly. She asked for such a simple, yet unusual Christmas gift - just one day without teasing．

Many people thanked Amy for being brave enough to speak up. Others encouraged her to ignore teasing and to carry her head high．

Amy did get her wish of a special day without teasing. Teachers and students talked together about how bad teasing can make others feel．

A few years ago I went through a period of such depression (抑郁症) that life didn’t seem worth living. It was like winter, so cold that the sun would never shine.

Then I saw snowdrops (雪花莲) pushing through the freezing, hard ground. I looked at them every day until I felt that if they could come back to life, then so could I. Those green shoots gave me hope in a way that nothing else did.

As spring came, I started to put in more and more plants until the garden was filled with color. Life was growing through my hands; gentle, peaceful, but, above all. Optimistic. If I gave love, it was returned much more.

I could spend hours lost in gardening. The depression I have is passed from my mother. It has affected generation (代) of my family and may happen in any situation. I can be depressed when the sun is shining or I am with a group of loving friends.

Of course, fresh air and exercise help to make depression less serious, but for me gardening is more than that. It means patience as well as hope.

At the end of the9 first garden I made stood a huge tree. It stood up to freezing temperatures and strong winds. It bent(弯曲) but never broke. The leaves dropped until it was covered with noting, but it always, always came back to life. And so I learned that we may fall down, but hope is living thing.

What do you think of a “talking kitchen”?A French Digital(数码)Kitchen has been developed at Newcastle University in the UK. It teaches students how to cook French food and speak French at the same time. For the first time, students can learn the language by the following cooking steps.

All grammar and ________ have been carefully chosen to make sure the users can understand French well. After learning for some time, the users can test themselves by doing a short test on the computer.

The kitchen project was started by professor Paul Seedhouse. He became interested in the idea after he visited another kind of talking kitchen. He said, “The purpose of the French Digital Kitchen is to make learning a language more interesting and more educational. ”

How does the kitchen work?There is a computer in the kitchen. With this computer, the users can first choose a French recipe that they want to follow. Using the information in the computer, the kitchen starts to guide the users how to make a French dish. If you follow the instructions on the computer, it moves on to the next. If you go wrong, the programme goes back and repeats the recipe or information. At any time, the users can ask the kitchen to repeat the recipe or any information.

The new kitchen can be used in schools, universities and even people's homes. The researchers can also be developing the European Digital Kitchen, for the next three years.
