Professor Martin's report says that children who attend a number of different schools, because their parents have to move around the country, probably make slow progress in their studies. There are also signs, says Professor Martin, that an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected.

　　The professor says, "It's true, my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings that I or my assistants may have on the subject."

　　Captain Thomas James, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and him self a father of two, said," I've never heard such rubbish. Taking me for ex ample, no harm is done to the education of my children who change schools regularly－if they keep to the same system, as in our army schools. In my experience, I've known quite a few of them－Army children are as well－adjusted（调整）as any others, if not more so. What the professor doesn't appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situations children will adapt（适应）much better than grown-ups."

　　When this was put to Professor Martin, he said that at no time had his team suggested that all such children were backward or mentally affected in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency（倾向）.

　　"Our findings show that while the very bright child can deal with regular changes without harming his or her general progress in studies, the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning situation."

Window

　 Bill and John, both seriously ill, lived in the same room at Marie Hospital. John lived next to the only window of the room and was allowed to 21 in his bed and watch for an hour every day. But Bill had to spend all his time 22 on his back.

　 They became friends soon and talked for hours every day. They spoke of their families, their children, their hobbies, and their 23 in the American army. Each day John would sit up and 24 to his roommate Bill what he could see outside the window.

　 Through John's description, Bill's world was 25 　and brightened by all the activities and colors of the outside world. The window overlooked a beautiful park with a lovely 26, John told Bill. Ducks played on the water 27 children sailed their model boats. And a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As John described all these 28 , Bill would close his eyes and 29 　the picturesque scene. Bill was recovering 30 .However, John became weak day by day.

　 Late one night, Bill was lying in bed 31 　the ceiling when John began to cough seriously. Then doctors and nurses rushed to the room. Thirty minutes later, John 32 coughing. Now, there was only silence-- 33 silence.

　 The following morning, Bill was moved to the bed next to the window at his request. Slowly and 34, he supported himself up on one elbow to take the first look. But to his 35 , he could see nothing but a 36 　wall.

Only at that moment did he begin to realize that the pursuit of happiness was a matter of 37. It was a positive attitude we chose to express. It was not a gift that got 38 　to our doorstep each morning, nor did it come through the window. It was an inward journey. Whether a man is happy or not depends on his own thoughts 39 anything outward.

　 So Bill began to describe the 40 　world to his new roommate that he saw through the only window of the room.

We were a motley (混杂的) crowd of people who took the bus every day that summer 33 years ago. During the early morning 　26 , we sat sleepily with our collars up to our ears.

One of the 　27 was a small grey man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. He walked with a stoop (驼背) and a sad look on his face when he, with some 　28 , boarded the bus and sat down 　29 behind the driver. No one ever paid much attention to him.　　　　　

Then one morning he said good morning to the driver and 　30 down through the bus before he sat down. The driver nodded guardedly (谨慎地). The rest of us were 　31 and continued the ride with our collars up to our ears.　　　

The next day, the old man boarded the bus 　32 , smiled and said in a loud voice, “A very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, 　33 , and murmured (咕哝) “Good morning” in reply.

The following weeks we were more 　34 . He was dressed in a nice old suit and a wide tie and his thin hair had been 　35 combed. He said good morning to us every day and we 　36 began to nod and talk to him.　

One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver 　37 smilingly and asked, “Have a(n) 　38 , Charlie?” He nodded shyly and said yes. We whistled and clapped him. Charlie bowed and 　39 the flowers before he sat down. Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower. The men started to 　40 with him, talk to each other, and 　41 the newspaper.　　　

The summer went by, and the autumn was closing in 　42 one morning Charlie wasn’t 　43 at his usual stop. He wasn’t there the next day and the day after that. The bus, once filled with 　44 and flowers, 　45 to silence.

Many years have passed by, but I will never forget the old man, who left such an impression on me that summer.
