One day, a physically-deformed man came to our school and on his back was a notice saying “Free shoe repairing for college students.”

　　Repairing shoes free? Most of us didn't believe it, and some even thought that it was just device (诡计) to the students who would have to pay for the shoes once they had been repaired, but the man just smiled and said, “Save your money and buy some books.” These words really surprised me and I talked with him, “You need to make a living; why do you still repair shoes for us for free?” He answered, while keeping on working, “I am an illiterate (文盲) , but it is my pleasure to serve you. In my opinion, money isn't everything in life.”

　　He stopped for a moment and said, “I look down on those people who always cry. For example, when they themselves push their bodies into a bus, it is very common for people to help each other. But in recent years, people always look at me with an eye of surprise and say, 'Please wait for the next one.' I have to wait for the next... so I am with a wheelchair now!”

　　After the chat, I felt he was great compared with me. He ---a physically-deformed man who couldn't walk without a wheelchair, still tried his best to devote himself to society. I would like to thank this man, because he gave me a new direction in my life, and taught me how to know the true value of life.

   It’s every student’s bad dream: exam time. During the last three days of the term, we had six exams.

    My easiest exam was math. All of its questions were from earlier exams.

    The biology exam was hard. At first, I thought I would fail it. It asked about lots of things we never studied in class, though we could use our textbooks. And there wasn’t enough time to check every question. I guessed at many of them. But my teacher said that I did well in it.

    In the career planning and computer applications（职业规划与电脑应用）exam, we had a lot to do: a PowerPoint presentation, a book report and a class evaluation（评价）. I felt like I needed more time, but some of my classmates didn’t think so. They just quickly wrote down some answers and then played games.

    I don’t think I did very well in the English exam. We had to write an essay（passage）about books we have read in class. But I didn’t study hard enough.

    At our school, we can“test out”of some classes. That means students can study by themselves and then take exam. If they pass, they don’t have to take that class. I tested out in both computer and health classes.

    Studying for those exams was terrible. Those classes would go on for six months, but I had to teach myself everything in three weeks. Also, I had to do three big projects at the same time. I watched no TV for almost three weeks! I am so glad it is over, and now it’s the summer holiday.

    For my classmates, it will be two and a half months for fun without school or homework. But I am a Chinese, and you know what Chinese parent do with their kid’s free time: more homework.

Long ago ,there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.

One day a student asked him, “ My dear teacher, didn’t you say you yourself have many ,many more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you.”

With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles ,one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said , “Of course, I have learned much more. But it’s wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And that’s why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn , the more questions you have. You will never learn enough ,you know.”
