Kitts is one of "Tomorrow's people"—people who have electronic body parts. She has an electronic arm. One year, Kitts lost her arm in a truck accident. She felt angry and sad. She couldn't accept it. But then she heard a piece of good news that a doctor could use her remaining nerves (神经) in her shoulder to fix an electronic arm.

Before long, the doctor decided to move Kitts's nerves to different areas of her top arm. For months, the nerves grew and moved deeper into their new homes gradually. After three months she started feeling a little painful. The doctor helped her a lot to reduce (减少) pains. A month later, her pains disappeared and she got her new electronic arm. An engineer worked with Kitts to connect the computer programs with her real movements more and more closely.

Today, Kitts's arm is great, but it's not yet perfect as normal people. She wants feelings in her hands. For example, she needs to feel whether something is smooth or not. She also needs feelings to do one of her favorite things—drinking coffee. One time at a coffee shop, she, together with her friends, wanted to drink coffee as they talked happily. However, her hand kept closing until it broke the coffee paper cup. "One day I'll be able to feel things with it, and clap my hands to the songs my kids are singing…" she said with hope and pride.

It was two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bike. Her Snow White bike was just too old to ride, and it needed repairing as well.

As Christmas came closer, her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, for she didn't mention it again. We were busy buying some beautiful storybooks, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys.

Then much to our surprise, on the evening of December 24, she said she terribly wanted a bike more than anything else.

Then we didn't know what to do. It was just too late for us to make her dream come true. So there was no time to buy the "right bike" for our little girl. Thinking that we were parents who would make their child unhappy, we tried to deal with the problem.

Suddenly my husband came up with an idea. "What if I make a little bike out of clay and write a note that she could trade in the model bike for a real one?" "Perfect!" I shouted. So he spent the next five hours carefully working with clay to make a small bike.

On Christmas morning, we were so excited to wait for our daughter to open the little box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. She opened it and read the note loudly. She looked at me and her father, and said, "So, does it mean I can trade in this bike for a real one?" Smiling, I said, "Yes." Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, "What a wonderful surprise I have! I will never trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real bike." At that moment, we would have bought her every bike on the earth.

People come in all shapes and sizes, colors and races.Some speak differently while others act differently.My mother is in a wheelchair（轮椅）.I would like to say something about this special woman I call "Mommy".

My mom does what a mom needs to do every day.She picks me up from school drives me to meetings, cook dinner, and helps me with my homework.This is just part of what makes her great, though.She is my best friend and can notice when I am unhappy.She helps me solve problems that my friends do not understand.Mommy makes me laugh when times are hard.I look forward to coming home because I know there is someone there who cares about what I have done.

Mommy has always tried to be like a "normal" mom.But I think my mother is a wonderful woman and she doesn't need to change.She teaches me life lessons that no teacher or friend can.She shows me how to accept everyone for what is inside, instead of what is on the outside.The most important things have nothing to do with what he or she looks like.Everyone could be the way he is.I want everyone to look beyond the surface（超越表面） and see what is inside others.I love my special Mommy and will always remember what she taught me.

One day a poor farmer1 taking a bag of rice to town. Suddenly the bag fell off his cart (马车) onto the road. He didn't know2 he could do about it because it was too3 for him to lift (举起)alone. He only hoped that someone would soon pass by and give him a hand.

Just at this moment, a man riding a4 came up to him. But the farmer felt5 when he saw who he was. It was the great man who lived nearby. He thought the great man6 help him, and hoped another farmer would come up. But the man got7 his horse right away and said, "I think you need help." Then he took one end of the bag and the farmer took8 . They lifted it together and put it on the cart. "Sir, " asked the farmer, "how much should I9 for you?" "Don't mention it, " the great man answered. "when you see10 else in trouble, do the same for him."

A 14-year-old boy from the USA was described as a hero yesterday after he saved the life of a woman in another country.

Dean Bluey from Dallas, Texas, was a school boy who has much1 in computer. One day, he2 an email to a friend on the Internet. Suddenly he received a message saying, "Help! Pain! Help!" "The message was from Finland,3 kilometers away from America." "I didn't know4 I should do," Dean said to a reporter afterwards. "It was really difficult to tell if the message was real." So dean did nothing at first.5 the message kept coming.

"By then it was easy to see that someone was in trouble, "Dean explained. He6 and discovered that the sender was a student called Tarja, who was alone in a university library. She was ill. What was7 , there was no phone around her. Her only way of communicating with the world was by email. Dean got in touch8 the police immediately. And they realized that the situation was quite serious. They called the police in Finland. Then an ambulance rushed to the library.9 , she was still alive and was sent the hospital quickly.

"I'm glad she's OK," Dean said. "It's hard to believe, but10 saved her life."

When Dean Arnold got his first job, he was miserable (痛苦的), Each time he went to work, he coughed and he couldn't breathe. Working in a bakery(面包房) when you are allergic to (对…过敏) flour can be painful.

But Arnold stayed with the National Biscuit Company for ten years. He was a businessman and he helped them improve production. At last his health problems became too serious. He left and formed his own company.

With his wife and mother, he founded Arnold Bakery. They tried new recipes (配方). changing the kind and amount of flour used. This enabled Arnold to work there without too much pain. The bread, made with unbleached flour (标准粉), was baked in a brick oven (烘炉).

They began by baking two dozen loaves. The bread was sold door to door for fifteen cents a loaf. Winning customers to his unusual, old-fashioned bread took time. But Arnold, struggling against his allergy, built his bakery into one of the largest in the United States.

Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.

In 1849, after graduation from medical school. she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.

Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital , she also set up the first medical school for women.

Look! This is our classroom. It is very big. We're having an English class now. There are 22 girls and 28 boys in our class. Everyone has a desk. They are all new. Two blackboards are in our classroom. One is for teachers and the other is for students. The walls look very white. We can see some nice pictures and two maps on walls. 

We have four lessons in the morning and two in the afternoon. We like our lessons very much. We like our class and our classroom. We also love our teachers.
