It began as a typical January day. The grey sky was heavy with snow and the wind damaged the drifts (雪堆) in front of Valleyview School. This was in my first year of teaching.

When gentle snow began falling, the headmaster kept a careful eye on the brewing (酝酿中的) storm. It soon took on qualities of something more terrible. By mid-day he called the school buses back so the three hundred kids could get home safely before it was too late.

My students gathered their belongings and felt excited to be going home early. Then the buses arrived but the storm suddenly became heavier before the waiting kids could board and it was quickly clear that no one was going anywhere any time soon.

Snow fell cruelly. By then the bus drivers and a couple of snowplow (扫雪机) operators who'd been forced off the road were discussing the situation. There were over three hundred children, staff, bus and snowplow drivers trapped inside the school.

As night approached and the storm showed no signs of stopping, we realized we were prisoners and these kids had to stay at the school overnight. And we faced some basic questions. What would we feed several hundred children for dinner? Where would they sleep?

After every parent was called to tell them their children were safe, people who lived close enough to brave the elements were called and asked if they could help. Soon, a handful of people managed to travel through the heavy drifts and blinding snow, bringing bags of sandwiches, tinned juices, blankets and a couple of board games.

One woman, who lived near the school, travelled through the blinding snow with a huge kettle and enough ingredients to make tomato soup for at least half of the school. Those who didn't get soup fed on sandwiches delivered by someone else. There wasn't a lot of food, but everything was shared with no one going hungry and no one complaining.

When night fell, we worked out sleeping arrangements for the kids.

For the past 13 years, Martin Burrows has been working as a long-distance truck driver.

I decided I had to do something about it,” he says. One day, he stopped his vehicle,     2     (take) out a trash bag and started picking up the garbage. The satisfaction after clearing a small area was extremely     3     (remark).

Before his time on the road, Burrows spent over two decades in the military    4     a vehicle driver. His service saw him stationed throughout Europe and also on tours in Afghanistan. After returning to civilian life, he was diagnosed with PTSD (创伤后应激障碍) and had to experience situations     5     his mental health suffered a lot in 2017.

One day a man was asked to paint a boat by the owner of the boat. He brought with him paint and brushes and began to paint the boat bright red, as the owner asked him. While painting the boat, he saw a hole in the boat. He repaired it at once.     1     (完成刷漆后，他拿了钱便离开了。)

The next day, the owner of the boat came to the painter’s house and presented him with a nice check, much higher than the payment of painting.     2     (油漆匠感到非常惊讶。) “You’ve already paid me for painting the boat!” he said.

“But this is not for the paint job. It’s for having repaired the hole in the boat,” the owner said.

“But it was such a small service. Certainly it is not worth paying me such a high amount for something so unimportant!”

“My dear friend, you do not understand.     3     (现在让我告诉你发生了什么。) When I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention the hole. When the boat dried, my kids took the boat and went on a fishing trip. They did not know that there was a hole in the boat. I was not at home at that time. When I returned and noticed they had taken the boat, I was hopeless because I remembered that the boat had a hole.     4     (然而，让我欣喜的是，他们竟然安全回家了!) It was really unbelievable!

“    5     (我立刻检查了这艘船，发现你已经修补了那个洞!) You see, now, what you did? You saved my children! I do not have enough money to pay your ‘small’ good deed.”

So, no matter where, when or how, just carefully repair all the ‘holes’ you find.

It was Tamika’s turn to tell her class where she went this summer. She stood up proudly. “This summer I went to Bradley,” Tamika announced. “They have a big market there. My mom bought a painting and I got second-hand inline skates. We had a great time there. ”

“That’s not a trip,” Jeremy whispered loudly to his partner. “It’s only half an hour from here. My dad and I often go to Bradley to buy tools for his repair shop.”

“Jeremy, no interrupting,” said Miss Snowdent, their teacher. “And Bradley has a fine market. I’m glad that Tamika can tell us about it. Go ahead, Tamika.” Miss Snowden smiled warmly at her, encouraging her to continue.

But Tamika didn’t feel proud of her family’s trip to Bradley any more and she just felt embarrassed. Tamika dropped her head and said in a low voice that she was finished, and then hurried back to her desk. She hoped that the other kids didn’t notice her face turning red.

Tamika listened as Peter talked about his cruise to Jamaical. She heard about Mary’s trip across the Atlantic to Ireland. She heard about John’s horseback ride through the Grand Canyon. It seemed as if everyone but her had taken a big trip over the summer. “I never get to go anywhere. ” Tamika thought to herself. A sense of sadness clouded her the whole day.

After school things got worse. One of the wheels on Tamika’s skates came loose. Now she couldn’t even skate. Sitting on the sidewalk, Tamika tried to fix her wheel but did not know how. Then Miss Snowden happened to pass by. She walked up with a smile on her face, asking. “You look unhappy, Tamika. Why are you sitting here?” Tamika lowered her head, tears building up inside her eyes. “Want to talk about it?” Miss Snowden asked kindly. Tamika nodded, trying to avoid Miss Snowden’s eyes! Bending down, Miss Snowden said in a whisper: “You know, Tamika, actually we don’t always have to travel far to learn anything.” Tamika looked up with watering eyes and wondered what Miss Snowden meant.
