NOTICE February 20th,2013 A heavy snowstorm destroyed a village last month. Many people are now sick because they don’t have warm houses to live in, not enough food to eat, and not thick clothes to wear. Also, the hospital was destroyed so they have to travel to other cities for medical help. However, the journey is very difficult and usually takes five or six hours. Next Saturday, students of No. 10 Middle School are going to give a performance. They will sing, dance and play music. The performance will start at 4 p.m. Each ticket will cost 20 Yuan and all the money will go to the people in the snowstorm-hit village. They will use the money to repair the hospital and their houses, and get them some food and clothes. Please join us! CA Charity

From age eight to eleven, I studied at a small school in Bath, England. It was a small school of four classes, with about twenty-five children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects. However, sometimes the headteacher , Mr. Ronald Broaches would come in and spend an hour or so.
He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and would be glad in telling the children small stories which make us laugh.
I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles. He would stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle on it. As time went on, they slowly gave me an interest in math and problem –solving that stays with me to this day.
To this day, I can remember Mr. Broaches’ cheerful cry of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem right. I shall always be thankful that our  paths crossed.
Mr. Bruoaches died just two weeks after I won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. Unfortunately, I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt late that he had heard of my success and I will always hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.
