A young school teacher had a dream that an angel appeared to him and said," You will be given a child who will grow up to become a world . How will you prepare her so that she will realize her intelligence, develop both her confidence and sensitivity, be open-minded, yet
in character? In short, what kind of education will you
so that she can become one of the world's truly great leaders?"
The young teacher in a cold sweat. It had never occurred to him before-any one of his present or future students could be the person
in his dream. Was he preparing them to reach any position which they may
? He thought," How might my
change if I knew that one of my students were this person?" He
began to formulate (规划;想出)a plan in his mind.
This student would experience as well as instruction. She would need to know how to solve problems of various kinds. She would need to know the value of lifelong learning in order to keep a curious and
mind.
His teaching . Every young person who walked through his
became, for him, a future world leader. He saw each one, not
they were, but he treated them as if they would be the world leaders. He
the best from his students, yet tempered (使缓和)it with pity. He taught each one as if the future of the
depended on his instruction.
After many years, a woman he knew to a position of world fame. He realized that she must
have been the girl de-scribed in his dream. Only she was not one of his
,but his daughter. For of all the
teachers in her life, her father was the best.
Where and how you will this child is a mystery. But believe that one child's future may depend upon the influence only you can provide, and something remarkable will happen.

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负)others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right 3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的观点). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.
Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?
