After attending a conference, I returned to my hotel room late one evening．The overhead light out-side my door was burned out and I had finding the keyhole．When I to open the door, I around the wall for a light switch．I found a plate where a switch was installed… but no switch!
Not discouraged easily, I remembered a lamp by the bed when I deposited my luggage in the day．I found the bed in the and then the lamp, but when I switched it on, nothing ! I thought that perhaps if I opened the curtains I might be able to use whatever light comes in from the to find another lamp．So I my way slowly across the room to the curtains and …no drawstring! I finally stumbled（跌跌撞撞地） around I found a desk lamp which actually !
That evening I discovered in a whole new way just how dark the world be and how-necessary light is! But even more necessary than light is the light that shines from people—the light of and faith．Because, for many people, the world is a dark and place．For someone today just may be stumbling in discouragement or sadness or fear and in of some light．So let your light shine．Whatever light you may be a beacon of hope and encouragement．And if you feel that your light is a candle in a forest remember there isn’t enough darkness in all the world to the light of one small candle．

My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other , including her “sixth sense”, she rarely gives the impression she’s missed anything.
Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us, except that she doesn’t push too hard on them, who really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, she moves around so fast that often the don't realize she's blind.
I realize this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was excited about her finger-painting project.
“Mom, guess what?”said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle with us.”
To my great my child had learnt about color from a blind friend!
Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really what I was doing!’’ Kayla said she had never felt how good finger paints felt Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never come up in conversation.
When I told her, she was for a moment. At first, she didn’t believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla . And I knew my child was because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her artwork. Michelle had also heard Kayla's pride in her work.
We were silent for a minute.Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my .’’ Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

People always say that the earlier one learns a language, the it is to do so, in theory it is that, , in my opinion, that refers to spoken language. Capability(能力) to practice some essential(基本的) of a language and read between the lines can only be trained through proper reading ways and hard work .So spending money to help learn English may up with disappointment. It is likely that the more you ,the more you are let down.
The daughter of one of my friends English in primary school, her foreign teacher’s blindness psychology. She did not want to go on English until middle school, a college student studying English slowly her interest in the language.
It is better to have the child learn Chinese than to have some difficulty learning English for several years. Having been engaged in English education, find that despite(尽管) their excellent , many students have command of English words and phrases. So I suggest that children
classical Chinese prose(散文),rather than them to learn English hurriedly. Otherwise, they may let go the best time to the language ability of their mother tongue.

“Let me give you an ”，I continued．The other 60 students in the class their chatter and began to listen．one day,my car died on the way．I called AAA and asked them to send a ．The secretary in the Provost’S office asked me what had happened．”This is my day”， I replied,smiling．”Your Car and today is your lucky day?”She Was ．”What do you mean?”“I live 17 miles from here”，I replied．”My car have gone wrong anywhere along the freeway．It didn’t．Instead，it went wrong in the place：off the freeway,within walking distance of here．I’m able to teach my class，and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to me after class．”The secretary’s eyes opened wide，and then she smiled．
I scanned the 60 faces in the lecture hall． the early hour,no one seemed to be asleep．Somehow,my story had them．Or maybe it Wasn’t the story ．It had all started with a student's that I Was cheerful．A wise mail once said：”Who you are louder to me than anything you can say”．I suppose it must be so．

When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was ______ and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the ______ in my records. His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to _____. “You’re lowering my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in ______ ……”
He didn’t finish the ______, but it was obvious that his display of honesty was false. He thought he’d have it all—praise and the ______ grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade ______ because all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being ______ in the future. And every time I tell this ______, some people agree with this remark.
But I can’t see how I could give good ______ for worsening my mistake in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to ______ an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest ______ of his knowledge and it would have been ______to other students. How could I possibly give a student a gift of an_____ grade?
I know ______ reporting an error in one’s favor is unusual, but, like ______ extra change, it’s clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up benefits as ______ as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is ______enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps lowering the student’s grade did ______ him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have ______him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

To make new friends, the first thing you need to do is to meet up with new people, this should be quite , as your neighborhood should have a club, school or some other small organizations.
Go there and talk to people. you get into a social circle or group, making friends is not hard at all.
Look easygoing. You needn’t in fancy clothes or wear loud make-ups to attract people. Make eye and smile often; don’t look too nervous and listen to what others have to say.
Accept people the way they are. Nobody is ; you are not either. Everyone has faults and the way to make friends is by looking at the positive aspects of people. In case you don’t like someone’s behavior, it is better to them than to create a rivalry (对抗).
Don’t forget old friends. If they have moved away or if you have moved away, be in through phone calls and emails. Don’t leave old friends for the sake of new ones.
