A Trip to the Forest

One day Bob took two of his friends into the mountains. They put up their tents and then rode off to a forest to see how the trees were growing.

In the afternoon when they were about ten kilometres from their camp（营地）, it started to snow. More and more snow fell. Soon Bob could hardly see his hands before his face. He could not find the road. Bob knew there were two roads. One road went to the camp, and the other went to his house. But all was white snow. Everything was the same. How could he take his friends back to the camp?

Bob had an idea. The horses! Let the horses take them back! But what would happen if the horses took the road to his house? That would be a trip of thirty-five kilometres in such cold weather!

It’s lucky if a tall man with dark hair is the first person to come to the house in the New Year. So I go and visit as many friends as I can. They all give me a drink.

March 5 is Lei Feng Day. People are encouraged to help others and to     44     (learn) from Lei Feng. This year, my classmates and I went to do some cleaning in a street. We finished our work, took photos and talked with some people about their lives. One old lady said she     45     (remember) how all students used to     46     (do) helpful work in the street. Another told us that when she was young, she and her friends would do a lot of simple things to help others. They would help people     47     (carry) things or fix broken chairs at school. “But things     48     (change) over these years. The young students don’t really understand the spirit of Lei Feng.” She continued, “They do good things because they are told to do and take photos to put on the school website (网站).”

Her words made me     49     (think) a lot. We have been told to do things to help others on Lei Feng Day. But none of the love and care came from our own hearts. We should believe that they     50     (make) a difference. We don’t need cameras or praise. We can do better if we keep spirit of Lei Feng inside ourselves. “Learn from Lei Feng” shouldn’t be a yearly fad. Everyone should carry out their good behaviors all year round and we will have a better life.

When the teacher asks a question in class, Wang Xiaobin never raises his hand and this situation is very common at middle schools. This 15-year-old boy always waits for other classmates or the teacher to give the answer. “What if my answer is wrong?” Wang asks. Wang said only six or seven students in his class raise their hands when a question is asked. (83) “I think it’s a problem that may affect (影响) our studies, but I am afraid of making mistakes in front of my classmates.” he said. To encourage students to raise their hands in class, Hu Wei, why the students didn’t raise their hands, he said: “They lack (缺乏) of confidence, they are afraid of showing off, or they’re afraid of losing face by giving wrong answers.’’ To encourage students to raise their hands in class, Hu suggests that teachers should repeat the question, then try to guide and encourage students to offer their answers.(84) Hu also advised students not to be shy, but brave enough to try. Sun Pin, 16 of Fujian, always raises her hand as soon as she comes up with the answer, even if she isn’t sure she has got it right. Sun can’t understand why some of her classmates keep silent in class. She enjoys raising her hand a lot. “It keeps me enthusiastic (热情的) and confident to express my idea.” Sun said,“Raising my hand has really made me excellent.”
