5．On a recent morning，Ramón González，the headmaster of M．S.223，a public middle school in the South Bronx，arrived at work as usual at 7：30，took off his coat and suit jacket，put his tea and toast from a nearby diner on the conference table in his office and walked down the hallway to the school's back door to greet arriving students．González had a busy schedule for the day．Among other things，he needed to get to work on a suggestion for the city's Department of Education to expand 223into a high school．
At 10，González was finally about to sit down at his computer，when he was interrupted．A young teacher came into his office in tears，unable to figure out what was going on with an eighth grader who had just moved to M．S.223from a public school in Florida，was way behind in class and had been wandering around the school's hallways between periods，looking lost．González knew almost nothing about the girl．Like many of his students，she turned up at M．S.223with no more than a bill to prove she lived in the neighborhood．He calmed the teacher and started trying to figure out what was happening．（When he finally reached an administrator at the girl's old school days later，he discovered that she had been classified with a severe learning disability．）
Next，González was informed that the three free books that each of his school's students was entitled to-under a nonprofit program to promote literacy in poor communities-had never arrived．He needed to chase them down．（As it turned out，they were sent to a wrong school．） As he was doing so，he learned that a former teacher who had physically threatened（威胁）him，members of his teachers and even some students，and whom González had spent years trying to remove from the classroom，was challenging his termination（任期）．

4．Why are so many people so afraid of failure？Quite simple because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth．We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail．
Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed．One way is to lower standards．A mother describes her child's hastily made table as"Perfect!"even though it doesn't stand still．Another way is to shift（转移）blame．If John fails science，his teacher is unfair or stupid．
The trouble with failure prevention is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world．The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything，no one can win all the time and that it's possible to enjoy a game even when you don't win．A child who's not invited to a birthday party，who doesn't make the honour roll on the baseball team，feels terrible，of course．But parents should not offer a quick comfort，prize or say"It doesn't matter．"because it does．The young should be allowed to experience disappointment and be helped to master it．
Failure is never pleasurable．It hurts grownups and children alike．But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it．Step one is to ask"Why did it fail？Don't blame someone else．Ask yourself what you did wrong，how you can improve．If someone else can help，don't be shy about inquiring．Success，which encourages repetition of old behaviour，is not nearly as good a teacher as failure．You can learn from a bad party how to give a good one，from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second．Even a failure that seems definitive can cause fresh thinking，a change of direction．After twelve years of studying ballet，a friend of mine applied for a professional company．She asked．That ballet master shook his head．"You will never be a dancer，"he said，"you haven't the body for it．"
In such cases，the way to use failure is to take stock bravely asking"What have I left？What else can I do？"My friend put away her shoes and moved into dance treatment center，a field where she's both able and useful．Failure frees one to take risks because there's less to lose．Often there is recovery of energy-a way to find new possibilities．

3．Jingjing Wu greets the American students as they enter the classroom．"Ni hao"，she says，in
Mandarin Chinese．For the next hour，Chinese is all the children will hear．They are learning the
language through songs，games and lots of talking．"They pick it up really fast，"Wu says．"Kids
remember so much．"
The students go to Lomond Elementary School，in Shaker Heights，Ohio．Each week，all
students in Grades One through Five in this school attend a one-hour Chinese class．"We're trying to generate great interest in the language，"school official James J．Paces said．
Other US schools are doing so，too．The number of schools where Chinese is taught has grown，according to a report．Ten years ago，about 300schools had Chinese programs．Today，about 1600schools teach Chinese．"Schools are looking to the future，"says Nancy，one of the author of the report．"China is becoming a real powerful nation，and it makes sense that we have young people who not only know the language but also understand the culture．"One-fifth of the world's people live in China．The country's products，including clothes，toys and electronics，are sold around the world．
Some US schools are working with the Chinese government and the College Board，a nonprofit educational group，to bring Chinese teachers to this country．Teachers can stay in the US for one to three years．Instructors give lessons in their language and teach about China．Other Schools offer more intensive language programs．Instead of studying only the language itself，students learn all of their subjects in Chinese．They don't begin to learn in English until they are in the second grade．Students are expected to know both languages．The goal is to foster（培养） true bilingual （双语的） students．
More people speak Chinese than any other language．Students who learn Chinese may have greater opportunities in the future．If you know how to speak Mandarin Chinese，you open a huge door for yourself．
