The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often laughed at her. She would open a , pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted (收养 ) by a family, and they thought that the best way for her to American ways of life is to be with American kids. I looked at this small girl and promised myself that I must help her.
But how could I help her fit in with us? There had to be a way.
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had opened her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a perfect .
I was surprised and thought that she could do in the coming talent show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had drawn. “Why, it’s ,” said Miss Parker, and then showed us a poster she had painted for the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough time. Could you help me, Suzy?
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
“And ,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “We have a special award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students painted them.”
I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could that well?”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “Since this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a prize, too. Our mystery (神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.
I realized, at that time when I was looking at her face, she’d probably never owned anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to clap their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right. ”

students bring mobile phones to school? Earlier this month， some experts in Beijing had a discussion about this question. There is on it.
One side suggested that schools mobile phones completely. Mobile phones have distracted (分心) students with games and hurt students with bad messages， they said.
side argued that we should not refuse to eat for fear of choking（因噎废食）. We should stop the act of sending bad messages stopping the use of mobile phones. What’s more， cell phones are when students need to call their parents， especially in time of danger.
Teens asked several students about what’s going on with mobile phones in their schools. In fact， most schools allow cell phones at school， but tell students they must until the end of the school day.
Most students think it’s a good idea to have a mobile phone， it’s turned off. Li Zefeng， 13， of Beijing， said： “Sometimes when I have to take extra classes， I need to tell my parents to pick me up later. I call them with my cell phone.”
However， some still secretly use their cell phones . Xu Nanqing， 14， of Shanghai， said once a student was trying to take a call on a mobile phone during an exam. The teacher was angry that he scolded（责备）the student in front of the whole class， Xu said.
