Sharon called about four times today. At least it shows she’s trying to explain (解释) something to me. I feel a little better. 
December 3  
This morning Sharon said she had only told one person and had no idea why everyone seemed to know. Yes, I am an adopted daughter (养女) and my name was changed. But she had promised to keep it secret for ever!
December 5  
I wish I had a friend I could really trust (信任) all of the time. I thought I found that friend, but I haven’t and it’s making me unhappy! It’s wrong to tell her all about it. She won my trust, then lost it.
December 7  
I have a nice room and a big pool in my backyard and everything I’ve ever wanted. My adoptive parents will give me all the material things I’ve ever dreamed of. Yet all the money in the world can’t buy what I want now. I want Sharon to be my best friend again. 
December 10  
Sharon just called. She said she thought it might help if we spent more time together. She worried that I would go to another school. She is the best friend I’ve ever had. When I’m with Sharon, I can be myself. I need Sharon’s friendship. I need it more than I’ve ever known.
December 16 
I just had the most fantastic two days of my life! This was the best time I’ve had for a long, long time. Yesterday, we walked five times around the park and today we ran slowly along the river for twenty minutes. I can’t describe how much fun I had. We talked so much. Sharon, Sharon, no brick wall between us now.

D. They could hardly understand each other.

“It hurts me more than you”, and “This is for your own good”—these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.
That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.
Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students “so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who’ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying ‘go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”
Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’s for their own good. It’s time to start telling them no again.

                                                         Walt Disney: A Short Biography
     Walt Disney was born on December 5,1901 in Chicago Illinois, to his father Elias Disney, and mother
Flora Call Disney. Walt was one of five children, four boys and a girl. 
                                                                
     After Walt's birth, the Disney family moved to Marceline Missouri, Walt lived most of his childhood here.
     Walt had very early interests in art, he would often sell drawings to neighbors to make extra money. He
pursued his art career, by studying art and photography by going to McKinley High School in Chicago.
     Walt began to love, and appreciate nature and wildlife, and family and community (社区), which were a
large part of agrarian (农业的) living. Though his father could be quite stern (严格的), and often there was
little money, Walt was encouraged by his mother, and older brother, Roy to pursue his talents.
     During the fall of 1918, Disney attempted to enlist (入伍) for military service. Rejected because he was
under age, only sixteen years old at the time. Instead, Walt joined the Red Cross and was sent overseas to
France, where he spent a year driving an ambulance (救护车) and chauffeuring (驾驶) Red Cross officials.
     Once Walt returned from France, he began to pursue a career in commercial (商业的) art. He started a
small company called Laugh-O-Grams, which eventually fell bankrupt (破产). With his suitcase and twenty
dollars, Walt headed to Hollywood to start anew.
     After making a success of his "Alice Comedies", Walt became a recognized Hollywood figure. OnJuly13,
1925, Walt married one of his first employees, Lillian Bounds, in Lewiston, Idaho. Later on they would be
blessed with two daughters, Diane and Sharon.
     In 1932, the production entitled Flowers and Trees (the first color cartoon) won Walt the first of his
studio's Academy Awards. On December 21, 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first full-length
animated (有生命的) musical feature, premiered (最初的) at the Cathay Theater in Los Angeles. The film
produced at the unheard cost of $1 499 000 during the depths of the Depression (不景气).
     Walt Disney's dream of a clean, and organized amusement park, came true, as Disneyland Park opened
in 1955.Walt also became a television pioneer, Disney began television production in 1954,and was among
the first to present full-color programming with his Wonderful World of Color in 1961.
     Walt Disney is a legend (传奇); a folk (民间的) hero of the 20th century. His worldwide popularity was
based upon the ideals (理想) which his name represents: imagination, optimism, creation, and self-made
success in the American tradition. He brought us closer to the future, while telling us of the past, it is certain,
that there will never be such as great a man, as Walt Disney.
【个性思考】 Walt Disney's bases on his imagination, optimism, creation as mentioned above. If you want
make your career in the future, what experience can you learn from him?
