On my first day of teaching，I found that I spent 85 per cent of my energy disciplining and 15 per cent teaching knowledge.Of course I had some wonderful，serious students who would do well wherever they were in life，but others worked hard to push themselves to the limit (限度)．At night I went home exhausted，often near tears.What gave me the idea I wanted to teach?
And then there was Matthew.
After school Matthew would come into my classroom to dust erasers or empty the wastepaper basket.
“Why do you come in to visit me？” I asked him one night.
“Because at home no one listens to me，” was his reply.Later I found out that there were eleven children in his family，with Matthew near the middle.
One time when he came to see me，he said，“Miss Ausmus，the kids are saying that you and Mr D．like each other.”
“Matthew，Mr D．is a nice man and we both teach some of the same students.He is not my boyfriend，and it’s not something the children should be talking about anyway.”
Another time，he said，“Will you wait for me so I can marry you when I grow up？”
“Sorry，Matthew，but that won’t work，” I answered in a gentle way.
When my birthday arrived，his mother made me a cake.She delivered (递送) it after school，and as Matthew was carrying it up the school steps，he tripped (绊倒)，dropping the cake.I found him in tears.I told him that bringing me a cake was very，very special，whether I was able to eat it or not.
After my second year of teaching，I said “goodbye” to Matthew and his family.
Years passed and in 1992，I went back to the little town to visit.Matthew’s parents still lived in the same house.His mother greeted me warmly.“Janet，”she said，“Thanks for all the time you spent encouraging Matthew.You taught him to believe in himself.You are the reason he went to college.”
I had made a difference in the life of a young boy.But I wonder...did Matthew ever know the difference he made in mine?

1．Not everything you see is what it appears to be．
2．He who loses freedom loses all．
3．Misfortune tests true friendship．
4．Union gives strength．
5．Precious things are for those that can prize them．
A
A wolf was almost dead with hunger．A housedog saw him, and asked, “Friend, your irregular life will soon ruin you”．Why don't you work steadily as I do, and get your food regularly?" "I would have no objection," said the wolf, "if I could only get a place．" "I will help you," said the dog．"Come with me to my master, and you shall share my work．" So the wolf and the dog went to the town together．On the way the wolf saw that there was no hair around the dog's neck．He felt quite surprised, and asked him why it was like that?"Oh, it is nothing," said the dog．"Every night my master puts a collar around my neck and chains me up．You will soon get used to it．" "Is that the only reason?" said the wolf．"Then good-bye to you, my friend．I would rather be free．"
B
Two men were traveling together, when a bear suddenly met them on their path．One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches．The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could．The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body．When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear．"He gave me this advice," his companion replied．"Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger．"
C
A prince had some monkeys trained to dance．Being naturally good at learning, they showed themselves excellent pupils, and in their rich clothes and masks, they danced as well as any of the courtiers．Their performance was often repeated with great applause, till on one occasion a courtier, bent on mischief, took from his pocket a handful of nuts and threw them upon the stage．The monkeys at the sight of the nuts forgot their dancing and became(as indeed they were)monkeys instead of actors．Pulling off their masks and tearing their robes, they fought with one another for the nuts．The dancing spectacle thus came to an end in the laughter and ridicule of the audience．
D
A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he noticed something shining in the straw．"Ho!ho!" said he, "that's for me," and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw．It turned out to be a pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard．“You may be a treasure,” signed the cock, “to man, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn．”
E
Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face．Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying：“If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness．” The Lion laughed and let him go．It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground．The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed：“You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion．”
F
An old man on the point of death summoned his sons around him to give them some parting advice．He ordered his servants to bring in a bunch of sticks, and said to his eldest son："Break it．" The son tried hard, but with all his efforts was unable to break the bundle．The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful．“Untie it,” said the father, “and each of you take a stick．” When they had done so, he called out to them：“Now, break,” and each stick was easily broken．
“BANG” the door caused a reverberation．“Never set foot in this house again!” shouted Father．With tears welling (涌出) up in my eyes，I rushed out of the house and ran along the street．
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space：happy and harmonious.
But now I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened．
I wandered the street，without a destination in my mind．My heart was frozen on this hot summer night．As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people in the streets，until I had only streets to keep me company. When I finally reached the high rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on．
I thought to myself，“Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”
In fact，it was nothing．Perhaps，Dad was throwing some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．
All the lights were off except Father’s.
Dad was always 1ike this．Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself．After shouting at me，he never showed any mercy or regret. After an argument he will creep(蹑手蹑脚)up in my sleep and then tuck me underneath the covers.
This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature．
The light was still on. With the key in hand，I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last，I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love－it is second to none．
