I was nine years old，walking down the cold，wet streets of Springfield，with a bag of magazines on my shoulder．On my 24 that day，I came to that Company finally，whose owner，Mr. Rader，had always taken me there to ask his workers 25 they wanted any magazines．

Shaking off the 26 like a wet dog，I entered Mr. Rader’s office．After a quick glance he 27 me over to the fire-place．Noticing the 28 in the top of my 29 ，he said，“Come with me!” pulling me into his pickup 30 ．We pulled to a stop before a shoe store．Inside，a salesman 31 me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had 32 seen．I 33 about 10 feet tall when I got up 34 them．“We’d like a pair of new socks too，” Mr. Rader said．

Back in his office，Mr. Rader took out a 35 ，wrote something on it，and handed it to me．With 36 eyes，I read，“Do to others as you would have them do to you．” He said affectionately (深情地)，“Jimmy，I want you to 37 I love you”．

I said good-bye，and for the first time I 38 a flicker of hope that somehow things would be 39 ．With people like Mr. Rader in the world，there was hope，kindness and love, and that would always make a 40 ．

Each of us fails from time to time．If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 1 part of the learning process．But all too often as parents and teachers we disallow this 2 right to our children．

When I see a child 3 to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie．

Donnie was my youngest third grader．His 4 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed．He 5 answered questions — he might be wrong．

I tried my best to build his 6．But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned （安排）to our classroom．

She was young and pretty, and she loved children．My pupils, Donnie included,7 her．

One morning, we were working math problems at the chalkboard．Donnie had 8 the problems with painstaking neatness．Pleased with his progress, I 9 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials．When I returned, Donnie was in 10 ．He’d missed the third problem．

My student teacher looked at me in despair．Suddenly her face 11．From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils．

"Look, Donnie," she said, kneeling beside him and gently 12 the tear stained face from his arms．"I’ve got something to13 you．" She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk．

"See these 14 , Donnie," she continued．"They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me．See how the erasers are 15 ? That’s because we make mistakes too．But we erase the mistakes and try again．That’s what you 16 learn to do, too．"

She kissed him and stood up．"Here," she said, "I’ll leave one of these pencils on 17 desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, 18 teachers．" Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile．

The pencil became Donnie’s 19 possession．That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement, gradually 20 him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again．

One of the best-known American writers of children’s books is Alfred Strong, or Doctor Strong, as he is better known to readers everywhere. Now, an art show called “Doctor Strong From Then to Now” is travelling around the United States. The pictures and drawings show the history of Doctor Strong.

Doctor Strong first became famous almost fifty years ago when his first children’s book was published. Since then, he has written forty-five books that have sold more than one hundred million copies around the world.

Doctor Strong’s books are known for their easy use of words and colorful, hand-drawn pictures. These drawings bring life to his imaginary creatures. The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and hundreds of others.

The San Diego Museum, in California, organized the art show. It included about three hundred Doctor Strong’s original(最早的) drawings and some of his writings.

Most of Doctor Strong’s books, although written in a funny way, have serious messages. For example, in Mc Elligot’s Pool, he describes the danger of pollution. He discusses the arms race in The Butter Battle Book, written in 1984.

Doctor Strong is almost eighty-four years old now. He says he never planned to write stories just for children. He says he writes stories that interest people of all ages. He says he uses easy words so that everyone, even a child, can understand.

They hang on because of their children, afraid that it might affect their up-bringing. Now, all their children have already grown up, and have their own family. There's nothing else the old couple have to worry about. All they wanted is to lead their own life free from all these years of unhappiness from their marriage, so both agree on a divorce.

While they were signing the papers, the wife told the husband. “I really love you, but I really can't carry on any more, I'm sorry.”

"It's OK, I understand." said the husband.

Little did she know that, over the years, the husband has been trying all ways to please her. Little did she know that drumsticks were the husband's favorite.

Little did he know that she never thought he understands her at all. Little did he know that she hates drumsticks even though all he wants is the best for her.

He picked up the phone, started dialing her number. Ringing never stops. He never stops dialing.

On the other side, she was sad. She couldn't understand how come after all these years. He still doesn't understand her at all. She loves him a lot, but she just can't take it any more. Phone's ringing, she refuses to answer knowing that it's him. "I want to keep it this way, if not I will lose face. "She thought. Phone is still ringing. She has decided to pull out the cord(线).

Little did she remember he had heart problems.

The next day, she received news that he had passed away. She rushed down to his apartment, saw his body, lying on the couch still holding on to the phone. He had a heart attack when he was still trying to get through (接通) her phone line.
