In Renee Smith's classroom, attendance is up. Trips to the headmaster's office are down and students are handing in assignments on time. The Springfield High School teacher says shehas seengreat 1since adding a few new students to her class―five Labrador puppies and their father.
The seven2 students in Smith's class have a history of discipline 3. But since they've started teaching the dogs obedience (顺从), their own 4 has improved. A dog trainer Chuck Reynolds 5 the students a new trick each week that they then workon with the puppies. At night, the dogs go home with the staff memberswho have raised them. They get dropped off in the morning, 6a parent would take a child to day care.
Smith said she came up with the idea when her dog had puppies and she say, how 7 her own children responded to them. She consulted with school psychologist Kristin Edinger, 8they took the idea―along with letters from students 9 the program ―to the school board. A pet therapist said, "What you are trying to teach is10 and that thereare consequences for the decisions you make."

I do a lot of management training each year for the Circle K Company. Among the1 we discuss in our classes is the2 of quality employees(雇员)
“What has caused you to stay3 enough to become a manager?" I asked. After a while a new manager took the4 and said slowly, "it was a baseball glove.”
Cynthia said she used to5 a Circle K clerk job as an interim (时临的.) one while she looked for something6 . On her second day behind the counter, she received a (an)7 from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He8 a baseball glove for the little League. She 9 that as a single mother, money was10 , and her first check would have to go for paying11.
When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Partircia, the store manager asked her to come to her small office and handed her a box. “I overheard you12 to your son yesterday,” she said, “and I know that it is13 to explain things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie. I know you have to pay bills14 you can buy gloves. You know we can’t 15good people like you as16 as we would like to; but we do17 and I want you to know how18 you are to us.”
The thoughtfulness, empathy (同情) and love of the store manager show vividly that people19 more how much a( n)20 cares than how much he pays.

Last year was the first year when I taught the fifth grade. Recently, I’ve been1by a “graduated ”student for the first time. I was really surprised when he walked into my home.
He hasn’t physically changed much since2my class last year and if I had had to guess who would come to visit me first. I wouldn’t have thought of him. Carlos was a student who had a hard time sitting 3in the beginning of last year. He would often 4to go to the bathroom, and he’d talk or look like he was falling asleep because of little sleep. He often needed 5in doing anything that other students could do well on their own.
I found out that the reason for his behavior in my classroom was that he had been6nightmares(噩梦)about his border-crossing experience. He was7that the immigration office would take him or his parents to prison or back to their8. And here he was in my class trying to learn a(n)9language, which he had never touched before.
When he was in my class, one thing that stood out was that he had a(n)10time speaking English. But when he walked in my room yesterday, all of that was missing. In walked a calm,11boy who spoke and understood English far better than when he left me in June. He even12to speak to my class in the sixth grade in English. He told me he remembered doing sign language and the video I made to help him13his English.
His visit14a lot to me not only because he has made great progress, but also because it reminded me what it means to be a teacher ----- to have a lasting influence on 15.

A very little boy was spending his Saturday morning playing in his sandbox. He had with him a plastic pail (桶) and a shiny, red plastic shovel (铲). In the1of creating roads and tunnels in the sand, he 2a large rock in the middle of the sandbox.
The boy dug around the rock,3to move it off the dirt. At first, he wanted to carry it out of the sandbox with his hands; however, it was too heavy. Later, with much4, he pushed the rock across the sandbox by5his hands. When the boy got the rock to the6of the sandbox, he found that he couldn’t roll it up and7the little wall.8, the little boy pushed, but every time he thought he had made some9, the rock tipped (翻滚) and then fell back into the sandbox. The little boy pushed and pushed, but his only10was to have the rock roll back.
Finally he11tears. All this time the boy’s father watched from his living room window12the drama was unfolded. The moment the tears fell, a large13appeared across the sandbox. It was the boy’s father. Gently but14, he said, “Son, why didn’t you use all the strength that you had?”
Defeated, the boy15back, “I did! I did! I used all the strength that I had!”
“No, you didn’t. You didn’t ask me for help.” The father16down, picked up the rock and dropped it off the sandbox.
Do you have “rocks” in your life that need to be17? Are you discovering that you don’t have18it takes to lift them? There is someone who is willing to give us the19we need. Maybe, it’s sometimes a good idea to ask others for20when we meet difficulties we can’t overcome.
