This was an unforgettable and wonderful experience. It happened about three years ago and it has had a 41 effect on me.I would like to show respect here for the two men I do not know 42 but whose actions gave a new 43 to the words — kind and generous.

　　　 I was walking down a busy street on a cold, windy day in early winter. A 44 man, probably about 60 and without wearing any shoes , was 45 for change on a street corner.

　　　 A BMW car 46 on the other side of the street and a gentleman who was perfectly dressed stepped out of the car.He was probably about 47 years old.He was wearing a blue business suit with a deep red silk tie.He walked 48 across the street and over to the homeless man.Without saying anything, he first gave him a lot of 49 and then he sat down and took off his leather gloves（ 手套）, beautiful black leather shoes and his black dress socks.Then he 　50 them to the homeless man.The homeless man took them and stared with a/an 51 mouth.

　　　 As he drove off, I couldn’t 　52 thinking that it was probably the first time he had 53 the pedal（ 踏板）of that top-brand BMW car with a 　54 foot! I stood there and the looks of 　55 appeared on my face and the homeless man’s.

　　　 Two men of about the same age 56 very different lives had met and the one who was 57 in materials had offered 58 than his shoes.He had left this BMW car and 　59 down from his high position.He lifted up the other man when he offered respect, 　60 and real generosity.

So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that“ reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.

　　Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.

　　Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.

　　If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest（探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. ”

　　When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.
