It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25. I was triage nurse (分诊护士) that day. I didn’t _36_many patients, so I was not happy about having to _37_ on Christmas. Just then, five bodies _38_at my desk: a pale woman and four small children.
“Are you all sick?” I asked _39_.“Yes,” the woman said weakly. But when they got to describe their problems, things got a little _40_. Two of the children had headaches, _41_ they weren’t holding their heads like headache sufferers _42_ do. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to _43_ it.
_44_ was wrong, but I didn’t say anything except that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She _45_ , “Take your time; it’s _46_ in here.”
Then I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family. No _47_–- they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.
I looked out at the family huddled by the Christmas tree. The smallest one was pointing at the television and exclaiming something to her mother. The oldest one was looking at an ornament on the tree.
I went back to the nurses’ station and mentioned we had a _48_ family in the waiting room. The nurses, irritated about having to work on Christmas, suddenly felt _49_ for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into _50_, much as we do when there’s a medical emergency. Only this time it was a Christmas emergency.
We were each entitled to a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day, so we _51_ that meal and prepared a banquet for our Christmas guests. We needed presents. We put together oranges and apples in a basket. From various departments, we _52_candies, crayons and other suitable items. As seriously as we met the physical _53_ of the patients that came to us that day, our team worked to meet the needs, and go beyond the _54_ , of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day.
Later, as the family walked to the door to _55_, the four-year-old came running back, gave me a hug and whispered, “Thanks for being our angels today.”

At a primary school Manning， Carolina， second-grade teacher David Chadwell believed that segregating(隔离) elementary-age boys and girls produces immediate academic improvement—in both genders. “Although this is a tendency， we can teach boys and girls based on what we now know.”
“They see differently. Literally，” he begins. Male and female eyes are not organized in the same way， he explains. The composition of the male eye makes it attuned(协调) to motion and direction. “Boys interpret the world as objects moving through space，” he says. “The teacher should move around the room constantly and be that object.”
The male eye is also drawn to cooler colors like silver， blue， black， grey， and brown. It’s no accident boys tend to create pictures of moving objects like spaceships， cars， and trucks in dark colors instead of drawing the happy colorful family， like girls in their class.
The female eye， on the other hand， is drawn to textures and colors. It’s also oriented toward warmer colors—reds， yellows， oranges—and visuals with more details， like faces. To engage girls， Chadwell says， the teacher doesn’t need to move as much， if at all. Girls work well in circles， facing each other. Using descriptive phrases and lots of color in overhead presentations or on the chalkboard gets their attention.
Boys and girls also hear differently. “When someone speaks in a loud tone， girls interpret it as yelling，” Chadwell says. “They think you’re mad and can shut down.” Girls have a more finely tuned aural structure； they can hear higher frequencies than boys and are more sensitive to sounds. He advises girls’ teachers to watch the tone of their voices. Boys’ teachers should sound matter of fact， even excited.
A boy’s autonomic nervous system causes them to be more alert when they’re standing， moving， and the room temperature is around 69 degrees. Stress in boys， he says， tends to increase blood flow to their brains， a process that helps them stay focused. This won’t work for girls， who are more focused seated in a warmer room around 75 degrees. Girls also respond to stress differently. When they are exposed to threat and confrontation， blood goes to their guts(内脏)， leaving them feeling nervous or anxious.
“Boys will rise to a risk and tend to overestimate their abilities，” he says. “Teachers can help them by getting them to be more realistic about results. Girls at this age shy away from risk， which is exactly why lots of girls’ programs began in the private sector. Teachers can help them learn to take risks in an atmosphere where they feel confident about doing so.”
