The Other Side of the Wall
There was a young woman who took great pride in her flower garden. She was raised by her grandmother who taught her to love and for flowers. So her flower garden was the best.
One day, while she was looking through a flower list she often from, a picture of a plant caught her eyes. She had never blooms(花) on a flower like that before. “I have to have it,” she said to herself, and she ordered it.
When it arrived, she already had a prepared to plant it. She planted it at the back of her yard. It grew well, with beautiful green leaves all over it, there were no blooms. Day after day she continued to water it, feed it, and she even talked to it trying to make it bloom. However, it was .
One morning weeks later, when standing before the vine, she felt very that her plant had not bloomed. She was giving thought to it down and planting something else in its place.
It was at this point that her neighbor, whose joined hers, called over to her. “Thank you so much! You can’t imagine how much I have the blooms of that vine you planted.” The young woman walked the gate into her neighbor’s yard, and sure enough, she saw that on the other side of the wall the vine was with blooms.
There were indeed the most beautiful blooms she had seen. The vine had grown through the crevices(缝隙) and it had not flowered on side of the wall, but it had flowered on the other side.
Sometimes one may not see the good result of his effort, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t successful.

more than half the nation's pre-school（学龄前）children. Parents love the programme. Many teachers also consider it a great help, some educators are against certain things in it.
Tests show children from different have benefited（收获）from watching the programme. Those who watch it five times week learn more than those who watch it once in a while. In the US the programme is shown at hours so that more children can watch it. The programmes all songs, stories, jokes and pictures to help children understand numbers, letters and human relationship. But there are some differences
，the programme made in Mexico City more time to teaching whole words than to teaching letters one by one.
Why is“Sesame Street" more successful than other children's shows? There many reasons—the good education of its producers, the support the government and businesses, and the skillful use of many TV tricks. Also watch it along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on it. But the best reason may be that it makes every child able to learn. Children find themselves learning, and they want to learn .

She went to each sick child one after another and said good night. she came to a little boy called Tommy. Tommy was only 11 years old ,but he already talked like an . Poor Tommy had a very serious illness,and now he was hardly able to any part of his body except his hands. But he was always happy and always thinking about others instead of himself.
When Jenny came up to his bed, he said, “I’m very sorry that you have to the dance because of us. But we’re going to have a party for you. If you look in my , you’ll find a piece of cake. I saved it from my supper today, so it’s quite ” “And I’d get up and dance with you myself if I was able to,”he added.

Two little boys were playing one day when a Fairy (仙女) suddenly appeared before them and said, “Father Time asks me to you New Year presents.” She handed each child a package and disappeared immediately.
Carl and Philip opened the and found two books with clean pages in them.
Twelve months passed and the came again and said, “I have brought you another two books and will take the first one back to Father Time.”
“May I keep book a little longer?” asked Philip, “I’d like to paint something on the last page.”
“No,” said the Fairy.
“I wish that I could finish reading mine at a time,” said Carl, “I can only open the book once each day see only one page every time, because when the page turns over, it sticks fast.”
The Fairy said, “Well, you can Philip’s book.” Then she lit (点亮) two little lamps for them. By the light of the they saw the pages as she turned them.
“Who did this?” they asked in surprise, “Every page was when we first opened it. But now some pages are drawn with beautiful things like birds and and some pages with ugly, black spots and scratches (划痕) on them!”
The Fairy, smiling at the two little , said, “See, Philip, the beautiful birds and flowers appeared when you share toys with your friends, or when you try to be kind to others.”
“But what made the ugly, spots and scratches?” asked Philip.
The Fairy said, “That came when you told a lie one day, or when you did not listen to your mum. All these ugly spots and scratches in your books were made when you were naughty (淘气的). Each pretty thing in your books came on its page when you were .”
“Oh, we wish to read the books !”
“They can’t be read once more,” said the Fairy, “See! They are only for this year, and they must now go back into bookcase, but I have brought you each a new one, and perhaps you can make these more beautiful than the first ones.”
With these words, the Fairy . The boys were left alone, but each held in his hand a new book open at the first page.
And on the back of each book was written in letters of gold, “For the New Year”.

Years ago, while I lived in Engand, part of my college task was to help the children with special needs.I was chosen to in a school with disabled children. The teacher asked me to Nancy, a ten-year-old girl. One of hands could not move. At her school the teachers would think it was an achievement she was able to put on her own coat. But I saw more in her. She had always wanted to put a string the hole of a key.
For the 5 years Nancy was in the school, the teachers always to help her, but always ended up doing all the work for her. I knew Nancy could do , so I encouraged her to do something herself. At first Nancy often failed and got very . Sometimes I wanted to give up too. , after a week Nancy was able to do she had wanted to alone for so many years. Her teachers cried when they saw the thing she was able to do with just some encouragement.
Disabled people should be told they can’t do this or that. With just some encouragement they can do it. The look that girl’s face when she was able to do it herself meant to me. I hope everyone will encourage people to do all they want by themselves telling them they can’t do it.
