One summer，a library in Texas in the United States was having a terrible problem．For years，the number of books in the library kept growing．As a result，they had grown too big for the building and had to move to a newly-built library across the town．Everything was finished and paid for．They found out that they hadn’t left enough money to move their mountain of books across the town．Even the cheapest moving company was going to ask for several thousand dollars to pack(打包) and move the books．What could they do? They thought and thought．Finally one clever librarian(图书管理员) had a bright idea．She said that during that time，the library would be closed．Why not allow the readers to borrow more books and ask them to come in to borrow 20，40 or 100 books? At the end of the summer they could return them to the new library．The idea worked beautifully and the readers were happy to have more books to enjoy．The library saved a lot of money and people read a lot of books．

B

Alex knew colors and shapes．He learned about 150 English words．With his language ability he made himself known as perhaps the world’s most famous talking bird．

But Alex，a parrot，died two weeks ago when he was 31．Irene，a psychologist(心理学家) at Harvard University，studied and worked with the parrot for nearly 30 years．

In 1977，Irene，then an excellent student in chemistry at Harvard，bought Alex from a pet store．At that time，scientists were not quite sure whether birds could learn to communicate with humans．

But using the methods of teaching．Irene helped Alex to learn about 150 words，and to count small numbers，as well as colors and shapes．

In experiments，Irene would give Alex a small reward(奖励)，like a grape．Alex learned to ask for the grape by watching what the trainer was doing to get it．The researchers then worked with the bird to help him with pronunciation．

Alex showed a surprising ability to learn．For example，when he was shown a blue paper circle．he could tell what color the paper was．what shape it was，and—after touching it，—what it was made of．

Like other parrots，he also picked up some words when staying in the lab，like“calm down”and“good morning”．He could also show his happiness and sadness．

Even before the week he died，Alex was working with Irene on difficult words．As she put him into his cage for the night that Thursday，Irene said that Alex looked at her and said，“You be good．See you tomorrow．I love you．”

He was found dead in his cage the next morning．

C

A famous study was done in a school by a professor(教授) from a university．At the start of the school year，the teachers were given the names of five children．They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class．But the fact was that these students were only average(中等)，and they were not the best students at all．Well，guess what? At the end of the year，all the five average students scored among the highest in the class．

What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude(态度)．Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected(期望) more from them．And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves．So they worked harder to do as well as they could．

Do you know? If you expect the best from people，they’ll usually want to give you their best．A great leader said，“Treat(对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside，and you’ll make him even worse．But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be．”

Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny，his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，“Johnny，you’re the naughtiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class．I’m sure you’ll never change．”The next year Johnny had a new teacher．And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，“Johnny，I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it．”And everyday after that，this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things．Later on，Johnny became a school leader．Because that’s the power of our belief(信任) and attitude toward children．

One possible version

Dear friends,

I’m terribly sorry to learn that an earthquake hit your hometown. My heart was broken when I learnt that some of you had lost your family members.

I’m sure the earthquake will never beat us Chinese people. I hope you’ll be strong enough to face the difficulties. We have decided to do our bit to help you. Some of us have given away our books and clothes. We have also collected some pocket money from the students. We’ll spend all these to you through the Red Cross.

We’ll stand side by side with you and rebuild your hometown. I’m sure your hometown will become more beautiful than ever before.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Zhang Hua
