Thanksgiving Day was near. Lucy, the first grade teacher, gave her class a fun 36 — to draw a picture of somebody or something for which they were 37 . When the students 38
their assignment, she found most of them drew some pictures of their family, teachers, friends or neighbors.
Douglas, however, made a different kind of picture. He was a 39 boy. He didn’t act the same as others. He always seemed to be shy and sad. He 40 played with other children during the break 41 they kindly invited him to. Lucy treated him very well. She always helped him and 42 him to be confident. Yes, his picture was different. He just drew a 43 . Nothing else. His abstract image 44 the imagination of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One guessed it was a mother’s hand, for mother’s hand gives children warmth and 45 . Another child guessed it was a police officer’s hand, because the police 46 people and care for people. And so the discussion 47 .
When the children were discussing it, Lucy paused at Douglas’ desk, 48 down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy murmured, “It’s 49 , teacher.” Douglas was most thankful for her hand. She was 50 and felt tears in her eyes. She thought of the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there. She 51 how often she had said to him, “Take my 52 , Douglas. We’ll go outside.” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.”
The story speaks of 53 thankfulness. It also says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship. They might not always say “ 54 ” out, but they’ll remember the hand that you 55 out to give them love and be grateful to you always.

In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive . Some experts say the 21 is to make jobs more varied . But do more varied jobs 22 greater productivity ?There is evidence to suggest that 23 variety certainly makes the worker’s life more enjoyable , it doesn’t 24 make him work harder . As far as increasing productivity is concerned , then , 25 is not an improtant factor .
Other experts feel that giving the worker 26 to do his job in his own way is important , and there is no doubt that this is ture . The 27 is that this kind of freedom can’t easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a 28 way . Thus while freedom of choice may be important , there is usually very little that can be done to 44 it .
Another important 30 is how much each worker 31 to the product he is making . In most factories the worker 32 only one small part of the product . Some car factories are now 33 with having many small production lines rather than one large one , so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his 34 . It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor 35 it is one we can do something about .

But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring , 38 just lets them enjoy their spare time more . A 39 argument may explain demands for shorter working hours . Perhaps if we 40 making their jobs more interesting , they will neither want more money , nor will shorter working hours be so important to the .
