I put my sunglasses on and took a deep breath. We began to walk down the street on her first day of school with her hand held tightly in mine. I knew she would be crying in a few minutes, because she always did that when she was 16 about a new environment.
On the way to school, I told her repeatedly how 17 her new school life would be and expected she would feel 18 . But when she saw the massive group of students everywhere, her face at once fell and the tears (眼泪) came into her eyes. ―You can do this, sweetie. Everyone has a place in line; let’s go to find yours.‖
We lined up to enter the school. Just as she was about to hold on to my leg, her friend from preschool stood next to her. Suddenly, she became 19 and reached out for her friend’s hand. And as the teacher began to 20 them all into the school, she wasn’t crying, but smiling.
Honestly, I was 21 to say goodbye when I saw those little feet walk into that big building. I hid the tears behind my sunglasses and waved my hand as she walked inside.
All day I 22 what she was doing. As I waited to pick her up, I felt like a child standing in line to 23 Santa. She came out with her hand waving and her arms outstretched (伸展). ―I didn’t cry again, Mommy,‖ she said, 24 hugging (拥抱)me and showing me her backpack full of goodies.

Can the time go slower? — by Joanna Pitt
Can the time go slower? I’m still thinking of the answers.
Can the time go slower? My head is not yet clear.
Can the time go slower? For me the rules of math are too hard to remember.
Can the time go slower? My grade is what my father really cares about.
So can the time go slower? My dear teacher,
I don’t want to run behind others.
Oh no!
There are still lots of questions to be answered!

B
In a class discussion not long ago, I asked my students the following question, ―How long could you feel comfortable and right without food?‖ One student quickly answered, ―About two hours.‖ The answer is true. For most of us, we begin to feel hungry in a few hours after each meal. We can’t imagine starting our day by waking up hungry, going all day without food and going to bed with even greater hunger.
The statistics (数据) on hunger in the United States are much surprising to all of us. According to Feeding America, ―50,000,000 Americans don’t know where their next meal is coming from. That’s the number in one of the wealthiest nations on the planet. And one in four of these 50,000,000 people are children.‖
No Kid Hungry surveyed more than 1,000 teachers and principals around the country and found that 73 percent of teachers said they regularly teach hungry students who don’t have enough food to eat at home, and 87 percent of principals said they often see hungry students in school. As a result of so many hungry students, teachers spend nearly $40 a month buying food for kids with their own money.
This is the time of the year when children do not have the benefit (好处) of school lunch programs. Here are some ways we can do to help change this situation: First, we can give money to the local food bank. Next, we can donate food in our local area. Third, we can volunteer our time at a local food bank. So, on our next visit to the grocery store, add an extra food idem that can be donated to a food bank. Don’t wait to make a difference in a child’s life.
28. Which of the following is true?
A. Many Americans don’t have enough food to eat. B. Most children in the US don’t want to eat breakfast. C. American children are in hunger right now.
