Professor Martin's report says that children who attend a number of different schools, because their parents have to move around the country, probably make slow progress in their studies. There are also signs, says Professor Martin, that an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected.

　　The professor says, "It's true, my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings that I or my assistants may have on the subject."

　　Captain Thomas James, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and him self a father of two, said," I've never heard such rubbish. Taking me for ex ample, no harm is done to the education of my children who change schools regularly－if they keep to the same system, as in our army schools. In my experience, I've known quite a few of them－Army children are as well－adjusted（调整）as any others, if not more so. What the professor doesn't appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situations children will adapt（适应）much better than grown-ups."

　　When this was put to Professor Martin, he said that at no time had his team suggested that all such children were backward or mentally affected in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency（倾向）.

　　"Our findings show that while the very bright child can deal with regular changes without harming his or her general progress in studies, the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning situation."

When Teresa，a widow with four young children，saw a notice from her church for all members to gather to deliver presents and food to a 36 family，she took $10 out of her savings jar and bought some ingredients to make three dozen 37 ．She got to the church parking lot just in time to join the convoy（护送队）going to the home that was to 38 the people’s help．

The route was 39 ，and she was astonished when the cars pulled up in front of her house．When the pastor saw her，he said，“ We 40 expected you to join us , Teresa．We know it’s been a great 41 since your husband died，and we all wanted to 42　 you．”

Although she was 　43 being the object of charity，Teresa didn’t want to 44 anyone so she 45 said，“ Well，at least I can share these cookies with our 　 46 ．”

This parable teaches us that no one is too 47　 to help others and that true charity is rooted in love and compassion． 48　 of spirit is worse than economic distress．Teresa’s story 49 us that very few of us give as much as we could and should．

point where one must 52 something that is desired．

You can start out easy．Take whatever 53 you are thinking of giving to charity，then　 54 it．If that’s too much, increase it by 50 percent instead．The 55 is to stretch yourself．It will mean a lot to those you help，but it will mean as much to your heart．

　　A very important world problem----in fact, I think it may be the   1  important of all the great world problems which face us at the present time is the  2  increasing pressure of population on the land．

　　The important thing is not  3  much the actual population of the world at   4  , but its rate of increase．It works out to be about 1．6 per cent per annual（每年）net increase．In numbers it means something   5  forty-five to fifty million additional（增加的）people every year．Canada has a population of 24  6  about six months'  7  in world population．Take Australia for another example．There are 15 million people in Australia．So it   81  the world less than three months to add to itself a population which makes that very large and wide  9  ．

　　Speaking of birth rate, look at the   10  hand of your watch．Every second, three   11  are born somewhere in the world．You cannot speak quickly enough to keep up   12  the birth rate．

One day．Miss Ellis gave her pupils a new kind of homework：homework on happiness. Her pupils would be“happiness 36 ”，and were to see what would happen when they tried to bring happiness to 37 around them．As part of their homework，all the students did really delightful things, 　 38　 what Carla Chalmers did left everyone surprised．Several days after the homework had been handed out，Carla turned up carrying a big　 39　 ．

“　 40　 in this bag I have all the happiness I've collected so far，”she said　 41 .On seeing this，everyone was filled with　 42　 ，but Carla didn’t want to show anyone what was in the bag．　 43　 ，she pulled out a small box and gave it to her teacher．When Miss Ellis had taken the box，Carla took an instant　 44　 out of her own pocket and stood with it at the ready.

“Open it，Miss Ellis．”

The teacher slowly opened the box and looked inside．A big　 45　 .shone on her face，and at that moment Carla took a photo，which came out of the camera　 46　 ，and she gave it to Miss Ellis along with a sheet of paper．The teacher read the paper　 47　 ，and when she had finished，she　 48　 at the bag．

“Oh，so it's…”

“Yes!”　 49　 ．Carla，opening the bag．“It's a great big pile of smiles!”

She opened the bag and　 50　 of different smiles fell out．

The rest of the class tried to　 51　 how Carla had managed to create such a great chain of happiness．All there in the　 52　 Was a photo of a big smile．But everyone who had seen it felt happiness being transmitted(传送)to them，and　 53　 ，without hesitation every person 　54　 with a smile of their own．

She managed to spread understanding of the 55　 about smile：every time you smile you are sending a sift to the world．
