Last year, I went to Being Qizhi Special Education School for community service. Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question. “Why are you here?” I did not know how to answer the question.
The school was not far from my school, but it looked as if it were in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me . He held my hands and pulled me to the ground, it made me nearly kiss the earth and taste nature. After seeing this, the boy laughed. I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry. I controlled my anger.
A teacher stopped this deadly silence when she shouted at the boy. “What are you doing right here, right now?” She said. You will never see your mum again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry! “Sorry”, he tried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about this child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child’s parents.
She said that the child was very different from other students, because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him, He needed the kindness of his family, But they had abandoned him. So he lived a life with the help of the teachers and community service workers like us.
I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.
Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children’s hearts, making them know they are loved by people.

①Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”.
②For example, people who show no human emotions or feelings are thought to be cold-blooded. Cold can influence other parts of the body. But the expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be a CEO of company. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned(辞职), and all the work of the company will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being CEO when you understand the situation.
③The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back towards someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give the cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you, or to someone who has lied about you to others.
④“A cold fish” is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who shows no love or warmth to others. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. He or she will never feel sorry for those in bad situation.
⑤“Out in the cold” means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise-he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.

A. you feel brave to do something B. you feel too afraid and nervous to do something

Are you carrying too much on your back at school? You’re not alone. Experts in the United States are worried that young students are having back and neck problems as a result of carrying too much in their schoolbags. “It hurts my back when I run,” said Oberlin Reyes, a student in Virginia. ”It’s hard to get up the stairs with my schoolbag, because it’s too heavy. ”They had common schoolbags with two straps (带子) to carry them, but a number of students with heavy books use a special bag which have wheels and can roll on the ground.
Shirley Park, whose schoolbag weighed 10 kilograms, said she changed to rolling one because she was starting to have back pain. How much is too much? Experts say students should carry no more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight.
