I always thought that a man who was wise and good would become rich, but this year I have learned that this is not always true. I learned this from my teacher. He is wise and good, but is not rich at all, for being a teacher, he doesn't have a good income. He may be able to get more money if he gives up teaching for business. But he is so proud of being a teacher that he takes pleasure in helping young people. He stays at school from morning till late afternoon and works very hard. He always smiles at us when we go to ask him for help. He is kinder to us than anyone whom I've ever known. I think it must be easier to learn history or maths than to learn how to become such a man. He scolds（责备）us when we do something wrong, but it teaches us to try to do better. We all wish to study with him as long as possible, but that may be impossible. Some of us may become doctors, some become businessmen, some become engineers, some become, writers, but we all want one thing very much--to become men like our teacher.

　　Tom: I'm interested in gestures.

　　Ellen: Are you? Gestures differ from country to country.

　　Tom: Yes. Talking about gestures is a lot of fun.

　　Ellen: I've noticed that Japanese women often cover their mouths when they laugh.

　　Tom: They think it's impolite to show their teeth.

　　Ellen: I once talked to some students from India. They moved their heads up and down when they meant “No”, and from side to side for “Yes”. That looked strange to us.

　　Tom: Is that right? I thought nodding meant “Yes” in all parts of the world.

　　Ellen: No, not in some parts of India. But those students said their gestures were so natural to them that they couldn't change them.

　　Tom: This is one of the most popular comics in my country. Do people in American comics jump this way when they are surprised?

　　Ellen: Yes, they do. Comics always use big gestures, you know. (Ellen shows Tom a picture of a man.)

　　Tom: I've often seen this picture. He is shrugging his shoulders, isn't he?

　　Ellen: Yes, he is. It means I don't care or I give up. How do you gesture with your hand when you mean “Come here” in Japan?

　　Tom: We hold out our hands with the palms down, and move it up and down.

　　This is really a very fast game , the fastest I have seen this year. Both sides are fighting for the ball all the time. The crowd enjoy every minute of it. They're shouting at the tops of their voices.

　　Willis has the ball now, This is only his third game for England, but he's playing so well that it won't be his last. I'm quite sure.

　　Willis passes the ball to Cotton, Cotton kicks it over the heads of the Frenchmen, towards the goal. But he's too far away. Dupont picks it up easily , and throws it to Patou out on the left. France and England still have one goal each , and there are only two minutes left of the game. But during that time, anything can happen. Patou kickes the ball across to Crozat. It's beautiful kick, but Stevens jumps and just stops the ball with the side of his head. But Meunier is there, he passes to Crozat, and Grozat without waiting a second, puts the ball into the back of the goal. It surprises everybody. I've never seen a goal like it.
