As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Longzhou, Guangxi. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn't what I expected. It didn't look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and another one for Grades 4, 5 and 6. The third one was for me.
The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level. Though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.
I was busy preparing lessons, reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hardworking children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and we are now good friends.

It’s not WASTE until it is WASTED! With the World Environment Day coming, our school is now requiring every student to form a habit of sorting the waste. Here in our schoolyard we lay four different colors of rubbish bins for different kinds of rubbish. The red is for harmful waste; the blue is for waste that can be recycled(循环再用); the green is for kitchen waste; the yellow is for other waste. The followings are some instructions for you. Glass: Empty bottles without caps can be recycled to make new glass bottles. Warning: Mirrors and light bulbs must not be included in the glass waste.  Paper: Newspapers, magazines, boxes must be clean enough to be recycled. Warning: Paper tissues and wallpaper are not recyclable as paper and should be kept separately. PMD waste: Packaging made of Plastic or Metal and Drink boxes are used to make new packaging. Warning: Plastic pots (e.g. yogurt pots), plastic bags must not be included with the PMD waste. Harmful waste: out-of-date drugs, used batteries(电池), paint and oil … Besides, if you don’t need your old bikes at all, our school volunteers will collect them. We’re going to fix them up and then give them away to kids who don’t have enough money for a bike. To find out more about recycling, you can visit our school website. |

A boy without ears was often laughed at at school, so he often asked his parents to graft(移植) a pair of ears for him.
One day a doctor said to the boy’s father that he could graft a pair of ears for his son, if they could be offered. Two years went by. Then, “You are going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’s a secret,” said the father.
The operation was a brilliant success. Later the boy married and entered the diplomatic service（外交部）. “But I must know who gave so much to me. I could never do enough for him.” “But the agreement was that you are not to know… not yet,” said the father. The years kept their secret, but the day did come… one of the darkest days that ever passed through his son. Slowly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish-brown hair to show… that the mother had no ears.
“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut,” he whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?”
Real beauty lies not in the physical appearance, but in the heart. Real treasure lies not in what that can be seen, but what that cannot be seen. Real love lies not in what is done and known, but in what that is done but not known.Why was the boy laughed at at school?

| A．Real beauty lies in the heart. |
| B．Real love lies in what that is done but not known. |
| C．The passage mainly tells us how the boy succeeded. |
| D．The love of mother is great. |
