As a new teacher at Dull Primary School in Denver， Kyle Schwartz thought of a simple way to get to know her third graders， most of whom came from（1）　　families． She asked them to complete the note， "I wish my teacher knew…" and share something about themselves．

Their honest answers gave the teacher a chance to understand her students' difficulties． "I wish my teacher knew I have no pencils to do my homework，" （2）　　one child． "I wish my teacher knew sometimes my reading homework is not signed， because my mom is not free a lot，" wrote another． Some showed hope for the（3）　　， "I wish my teacher knew that I want to go to college．"

"Some notes are really heartbreaking．" Schwartz tells ABC News． "I care （4）　　about each of my students and I don't want them to be poor forever．" She explains， "I hoped to know （5）　　I could better support them． So I（6）　　to let them tell me what I needed to know． That was why I created the fill﹣in﹣the﹣blank exercise．"

（7）　　the third graders were allowed to answer anonymously（匿名）， most wanted to include names． And some were even excited to read their notes out loud，（8）　　one shy girl who bravely said that she was lonely． "After she told the class， 'I don't have friends to（9）　　me，' I was worried what they would do，" Schwartz tells US Weekly． "However， I felt encouraged to see how much support the other kids offered her． They invited her to play at break and sit with them at lunch． You see， children have an unusual ability to show empathy（同情）．"

"The results have been （10）　　，" says Schwartz． "It speaks to the importance of giving people a voice and really listening to them．"

Rose's bedroom was upstairs．（61）　　big tree grew outside her window． One day， Rose saw a bird making a little house in the tree． The bird carried bits of small plants into the house（62）　　 placed some grass in it in order to make it soft． Soon the little house（63）　　（build）． "It looks like a little brown cup sitting in the tree．" Rose thought．

The bird laid three small eggs and day after day she sat on her eggs to keep them warm． One day， a strange sound came（64）　　the little house． Three baby birds were inside．（65）　　lovely they were! Rose was very happy（66）　　（see） them． The new birds were very hungry and very noisy! The mother and father birds fed them every day． The（67）　　（baby） grew bigger and bigger． They moved around the house more． Soon they were moving their wings（68）　　（quick）． They were getting ready to fly．

（69）　　she found the little house was empty and the birds were gone， Rose sat by the window feeling sad． She told her brother with tears that she（70）　　（not） want them to go． Her brothers smiled and told her that birds couldn't stay in the tree all the time， because they had to fly away to do bird things．

As a child， I made the most important decision of my life： My problems with my body would never stop me from（51）　　（实现） my dreams， and nothing would stop me from being truly happy with my life．

When I was a child， I was seriously ill． It（52）　　（几乎） killed me． Luckily， I came back to life after the（53）　　（第四） operation． However， my doctor told my parents that maybe I couldn't walk again and had to stay at home all my life． I felt（54）　　（无望的）． Thanks to my parents， I was first placed in a（55）　　（特别的） school， together with children that suffered from different diseases． I（56）　　（学习） hard and later entered a school with healthy kids． Because my parent swished me to（57）　　（享受） my life like any other kid of my age．

It wasn't easy， but I（58）　　（尝试） again and again and finally succeeded． I showed to the whole world that there was nothing that I couldn't get．

Today， I own three big（59）　　（工厂）． I have a lot of true friends． I travel around the world with my friends when I'm free． I'm glad to teach people how their dreams come true． In my life I （60）　　（相信） where there is a will， there is a way．

The next morning， the two visitors continued their（22）　　． After they walked a few miles， the wise man said to the young man， "Go back and push the cow off the cliff（悬崖）．" "Why？ Without the cow， they will have nothing．" The wise man repeated his order， "Go back and（23）　　the cow．"

The young man was（24）　　about the future of the family． But（25）　　he returned to the old house and did as the wise man told him．

A few（26）　　later， the young man travelled on the same road． He decided to visit the family again． To his surprise， he saw a large house with a beautiful garden there．

He knocked on the door and a well﹣dressed man answered it． He was the son of the family． The man invited him to enter the house and told him（27）　　their life changed． "You know， we had（28）　　but a cow to keep us alive years ago． But one day she fell off the cliff and died． We had to come up with new（29）　　of making a living． You see， we are much（30）　　than before．" At his words， the young man smiled．
