题目内容

On the first day of the eighth grade,I waited at the stop for the school bus. When it arrived,I got on and said hello to the bus driver,Mr Rolland. Then I noticed one little girl called Amy. She was different from everyone else on the bus. "Don't talk to Amy," warned Lauren,who sat beside me. "Or everybody will make fun of you."

Amy had many physical differences―her eyes weren't straight,her glasses were an inch thick,and she had really uneven teeth. Every day as we rode to and from school,kids would shout insults at Amy.

"God,what a strange face!Stop looking at me!" "Mr Rolland!Amy took off her glasses,and now her eyes are scaring me. Make her put them back on!" they would say. For a while I shouted my share of insults,just to fit in. After all,I didn't want the other kids to treat me the same way they did to Amy. But while I was insulting her,my heart ached for the girl.

I began to pity her. Then I wanted to stand up for her. I just didn't know how to stop my schoolmates until the night of our class rollerskating party. Our whole class was there,including Amy. Amy didn't know how to skate,but I could see how much she wanted to have fun like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand. I slowly pulled her away from the wall,and together we began around the skating ring. I never said a word to her,and she never spoke to me. She just smiled and every once in a while she would laugh in excitement.

On the school bus the next morning there was much news about Amy and me skating together. But nobody insulted her any more. When the school year ended,my family moved away. And I never heard from Amy again. But I've always hoped that I changed her life for the better.

In fact,she changed my life. After becoming her friend,I no longer tried to impress people by trying to act like them or dress like them. I became myself.

  It was Thanksgiving morning. In the crowded kitchen of my small home,I was busy getting ready for the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in very old clothes standing together outside the door in the storm.

"Any old papers,Lady?" asked one of them.

I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little shoes,wet with heavy snow.

"Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot coffee."

They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet shoes left marks (痕迹) on the floor. I served them coffee and bread to fight against the coldness outside.

After a while,the girl held the empty cup in her hands,looking at it. The girl asked in a low voice. "Lady,are you rich?"

"Am I rich? Oh,no!"

I looked at my old slipcovers (沙发套) .The girl put her cup back in its plate carefully and said, "Your cups match your plates."Her voice was hungry with a need that no food could offer. They left after that,holding their paper against the wind. They hadn't said "Thank you". They didn't need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.

The blue cups and plates were only worth five pence. But they matched.

I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The marks of small shoes were still wet on my floor. Let them be for a while,I thought,just in case (以防) I should begin to forget how rich I am.

"I hate school,and Fm not going back!" Have you ever had that thought? Lots of kids have. Usually this feeling doesn't last long. But what if you have such feeling too much?

If you are stressed out,you might have a hard time making decisions. For example,in the morning,you can't decide what to eat,what to wear,or what to take for lunch.

Sometimes it's a problem with your school work. Maybe the work is too easy and you get bored. Maybe the work is too hard,and you don't feel as clever as the other kids. Or Maybe the reading is too difficult for you,but you are asked to do a lot of it.

You may be getting farther and farther behind the others,and it may seem that you will never catch up with your classmates.

When you know why you don't like school,you can start taking steps to make things better. It's a good idea to tell someone your problems at school. Your mom,dad,friends,teachers,or even classmates will be able to help you.

Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school. For instance,keep a diary or just write in a notebook. It's a great way to let out the emotion that makes you depressed. And you don't have to share what you have written with others.

The next time you find yourself dislike school,the following will also help you：

Make a list of everything you dislike or enjoy―even there is only one thing. See what you can change on the "don't like" list. Could you find a way to show your special interest or talent to others at school? Which activities could you take part in that would help you solve these "don't like" problems? Focus on what you can change and you might be able to get the good feeling back about school！
