I didn’t cry when I learned I was the parent of a disabled child. I just sat still and didn’t say anything.    

When Jenny was old enough, I sent her to a kindergarten（幼儿园）. On the first morning, Jenny spent hours playing by herself. It seemed that she felt very(41).    

However, to my joy, Jenny’s classmates always (42) her, “You got all your spelling words right today!” In fact, her spelling list was the (43). Later, she faced a very painful (44) —— at the end of the term, there was a game which had (45) to do with physical education. But Jenny was (46) in it.    

My husband and I were anxious about the day. I wanted to let my child stay home! But my heart wouldn’t let me off that easily. So I (47) a pale, unwilling Jenny onto the school bus.    

At the kindergarten, I was quite worried because of her (48) action, Jenny would probably hold up her team. The game went well until it was time for the sack（麻袋）race. Surely Jenny would find it (49). Now each child had to climb into a sack, jump to the finishing line, return and climb out of the sack. I noticed Jenny standing near the end of her line of players.    

But as it was her turn to join, a change took place in her (50). The tallest boy behind Jenny placed his hands on her waist（腰）. Two other boys (51) in front of her. The moment the player before Jenny stepped out from the sack, the two boys (52) the sack suddenly and kept it open while the tall boy lifted Jenny and (53) her into it. A girl nearby took her hand and supported her (54) Jenny got her balance. Then she jumped forward, smiling and proud. In the cheers of the teachers, schoolmates and parents, I silently thanked the warm, understanding people in life who made it  (55) for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings. Then I finally cried.

There is a piece of good news for the children in the countryside. We may still remember the girl    36  big eyes. Her big eyes are  37   us her dream: I want to   38       ! In China, there are still    39     girls and boys like her.They want to go to school, but their     40   are too poor. If the family has two or three children, it is harder   41   all the children to go to school. So the parents often ask    42  to stay at home,and boys to go to school.

Now they needn’t worry about the money for their children’s education. From2006,children can go to school for free(免费) in China. They don’t have to  43    money for the books and other things. Some of them can even get money from the the government to make their life    44 .

   Soon , all the poor children can go to school for free. All families are very happy with the news. It is    45    great!

Please give kids a break. The request(要求) came after an online survey about  31  activities between classes. Some schools only   32   students to play in the corridors (走廊) during the ten-minute breaks, while   33  even make students do homework in the classroom. About this problem, different people have   34   ideas.

70% of parents in the survey said their children were not allowed to play   35   during breaks. Teachers should know children are 36   to be active, so education shouldn’t run  37    the laws(规律) of nature. “ It   38  that the playground is useless,” said one of the parents.      Some parents agreed to   39   the school did. “ Games during breaks will make children too excited to listen to the teacher   40   in class.” Schools had their own reasons   41     this. Teachers were facing lots of responsibility(责任) over school  42  . Some schools stopped activities   43   children were injured （受伤）during breaks.   44   didn’t want to do so,   but there was no better   45   to solve the problem.

Anna was excited about starting her first day in the new school. However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement  _31  to fear, and then to loneliness over the next few days. "Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed  _32  , thinking that there must have been  _33  wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!

When Anna _41  this, she started talking to her _42  . Guess what happened? It really  _43  . She had made two friends  _44  the end of the month.

Wang Ling, a middle school girl, felt angry with her parents after getting a boy’s phone call. “A classmate called me to discuss homework. We talked   41   just a few minutes before my parents got mad,” said the girl. “They asked whether I liked the boy. I said I didn’t,  42   they wouldn’t believe me.”

Wang’s trouble is not strange at all because puppy love (早恋) becomes a big headache for  43  parents and schools. They worry that puppy love will be bad for  44   . Her school makes it a rule not to allow any talk or any physical contact (身体接触)  45    one boy and one girl alone.

Many students say they understand  46   parents and teachers are so nervous about puppy love. But some think they are going too far. “We have our own thoughts and we know what to  47   with it,” said Wang Ling.

  Another girl, Jiang Ting, liked making friends with boys. “Boys and girls can learn from each other,” she said. “My mother asks me to study hard. However, she  48  stops me from making friends with boys.” Once Jiang told her mother she might fall in love with a boy. Her mother let Jiang make  49  own decision. Soon Jiang found that she didn’t like him any more because the boy was not as   50  as what she had thought before. And she did worse and worse in her subjects because she spent much on it. At last she understood the worry from schools and most parents about puppy love.
