Two teachers were sitting in the teachers' room. For a moment there was silence. Then one of them, Miss Smith, said, "I'm afraid I'd have to fail him! I just can’t let him   16  . "
"Now Alice," said her friend, Mrs Jackson, "is he so terrible a student?"
"That's just the trouble!" the other woman answered, "Tom was ever my   17  student. The problem is that he is so lazy that he never gets his work done. He hasn't handed me a piece of homework for three     18   !"
Mrs Jackson had never seen Miss Smith so   19  before. "Have you had a word with him about it?" she asked.
"Why should I? Every student must hand in homework. I made    20  very clear on the first day for class.  I don't know what has happened. When the lessons started, he did so well that I   21  thought about asking the school to give him a scholarship(奖学金). But now he often sleeps in class! I've never seen such a  22  in a student."
"You should have a talk with him. Give him a chance. "
Miss Smith spoke to Tom and learned all about it. He was studying all day and working most of the night in a factory to   23   for his schooling. Of course he was   24  in class and sometimes could hardly   25  awake. Miss Smith soon asked the school to give him a scholarship and he was able to devote himself to his lessons again.

Many years ago, an earthquake happened suddenly. A lot of buildings

collapsed(倒塌)。 It killed over 100,000 people in a few minutes. Shortly

after the earthquake, a father rushed to the school where his son studied

only to find the building had fallen down. He remembered his promise to

his son:“No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you!”

The tearful father began to dig to look for his son. Some parents

felt hopeless and tried to pull him off. But he asked,“Are you going

to help me now?”And then he kept on digging. The fireman came.

They tried to pull off and said,“Danger! Leave here!” But the

father who loved his son deeply,asked,“Are you going to help me now?”

The policeman came up and said,“It’s over.Leave here!We’ll do it.”

Still he asked again and again,“Are you going to help me now?”

He went on alone because he needed to know,“Is my boy alive or

is he dead?” He dug for 8 hours…12 hours…24hours…36hours…then, in the 38th hours, he pulled back a large stone And heard his son’s voice. He cried,“Tom!”He heard back,“Dad? It’s me, Dad! I told other kids you’d save me. I believe you would keep your promise.”“Get out, boy!”“No dad! Let the other kids out first. Because I know you’ll get me out!
