Mr. Weeks is fifty years old. He's taught maths in a middle school for twenty years. He works and always comes to his office on time. He hopes his students will be honest and he is strict with them. Some of his students have become famous persons, but they still remember him and often write to him. Of course the man is proud of them.
This term he began to teach Grade One. Some of the new students were told about him, but the others didn’t know about him. On the first day of school he told the students how to be an honest person. He gave them some examples and said, “I don’t like telling a lie.” Before class was over, he told all his students to finish Exercise 8 in Lesson 1.
The next morning, as soon as he came into the classroom, he asked. "Who's finished Exercise 8?” A few students raised their hands. He shook his head and said. "Open your workbooks and see if there's Exercise 8 in Lesson 1."

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, heath, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber (橡胶) ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don't look down on your worth (价值) by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don't let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid of difficulties. Be brave!
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don’t use time or words carelessly.You can't get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密) , and today is a gift; that's why we call it "the present". Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

Indonesia is my mother’s homeland and one of my favorite countries. Since I was young, I had learned a lot about the country and become interested in it. For a long time I had wanted to do something for the country and people there, and I thought volunteering（做志愿者）would be a good and fun way to do so.
I received the greatest pleasure from being with the children.
Teaching my first English class in Aceh was exciting but I was rather nervous. As time passed by, I learned how to be a better teacher. Teaching was actually the most enjoyable of my many responsibilities（责任）.
Many children were shy at first. But when they relaxed, they would start talking and telling you a lot of funny things. I believe we were helping them build up their confidence.
For the children who are more in need, The Education Program （TEP） will collect donations （募捐） to help them.
As a volunteer, I had to visit the TEP children at home once a month and help them write a thank-you letter to their sponsors. This was a way for the children to communicate with their sponsors. Sometimes the sponsors would write back to the children. Seeing the children’s happy faces, I had a great sense of pleasure.

The world of the-out-of door is full of secrets. There are so many secrets, and they are so interesting that thousands of men and women, boys and girls are busy studying them. All around us are birds, animals, trees arid flowers. The facts about how they live and grow are interesting.
Do you know that one of the great presidents of the US spent hours and hours studying birds? A businessman lives near New York City. He became so interested in insects that he began to collect them. He now has over one thousand different kinds of them. He keeps them carefully in glass boxes.
Now come with me, and I will help you find some of nature’s secrets. Let us go quietly through the forests and fields. Here we shall find how a hare tells the other hares where there is danger. We shall follow a mother bear and her young ones when they try to look for food and get ready for their long sleep. We shall watch bees dancing in the air to let the other bees where they can find food. I will show you many other interesting things, but the best thing that I can teach you is to keep your eyes and ears open when you go outdoors.
