D. off
One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting.I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.
A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves.I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk.I admired the husband’s patience for putting up with her continuous talk.Distracted by their noise,I moved on.
I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art.Each time I heard her constant burst of words,I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple came near to the exit.Before they left,the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object.He extended it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He’s a brave man.”The clerk at the counter said,”Most of us would give up if wewere blinded at such a young age.During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change.So ,as before,he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
“But what dose he get out of the art?”I asked,“He can’t see.”
“Can’t see?You’re wrong.He sees a lot.More than you or I do.”The clerk said,“His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience,courage and love that day.I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life.And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.

When we talk about how teenagers are getting worse and worse now, most young people don’t agree. Teenagers always say they are growing up. They can have part-time jobs. They can drive cars. And they can even get married when they’re a little bit older.
Their parents say, “Our children are very good. They like pop music, but they play it in their own rooms. They help in the house. You know they feel bored sometimes because there’s nothing interesting in the neighborhood, no clubs and no sports. They have nothing to do.
A teacher says that he believes most young people are very kind. He thinks that it’s not bad for young people to like loud music because it can give them lots of energy and make them feel excited .Also, a lot of young people work very hard at school, and they can get good jobs later.
Lewis, a sixteen-year-old boy said, “I have passed all my examinations, but I can’t get a part-time job because older people always think I’m lazy.”
In my opinion, a lot of teenagers are very kind. They belong to community work groups. They help old people, and they also volunteer in local hospitals or primary schools to help look after the sick people and younger students.
