I took my 7-year-old daughter to a restaurant by tho heach for lunch. When we arrived,I saw Jojo,a rich man in the hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open-air cafe. Suddenly,our conversation was inter rupted (打断) by a stranger,who politely asked to speak to me alone.

  We stood a bit away from my table. Usually,peo?ple who asked to talk to me told me their opinions on the shows I hosted (主持) .But he was different. He said, "I'm James,the father of a 7-year-old girl who's very sick. Doctors have said that if she is treated in the UK,she will probably become better. I don't have much money. Can you please help me?"

  I looked into the man's eyes,which were filled with tears. Then I went to sit back at the table. Jojo asked, " What's wrong? Your face changed. " I told him why.

  I thought of James and his daughter all the week?end. I even thought of doing a special TV show to col?lect money for the sick girl. On Monday morning,I was at the office when Jojo walked in,which was surpris?ing because Jojo was so busy. I never thought he would have time to come and see me at the studio (演播室) . With a checkbook in hand,he said, " Please call James and tell him I'll pay for his sick daughter's treat?ment. I've been married for 35 years,but I'm not lucky enough to have a child. I love children and want to help this child."I picked up the phone to call James.

  The daughter is living a normal life now and Jojo visits her sometimes. I'm so happy that there're so many good people in this world.

  In traditional (传统的) education,the teacher may feel that the students are not very grown-up. Usually,teachers are older than students,and teach?ers feel that students are young and do not know much about the world. The teachers feel that they must tell the students what to do most of the time,and that they must also make the students study specific (特殊的) things.

 In open education,the teachers' methods are very different. These teach?ers feel that the students are human beings (人) first,and students second. They expect the students to be responsible for the things that they do,just as adults are. A student's ideas and feelings are just as important as the teacher's. The teacher allows the students to decide what they want to do,and does not make them study what they do not want to. The teacher lets them decide what to study and how much to study. It's very important for the teacher to show how he or she feels about students.
