In 1998, when the volunteer(志愿者) teacher Han Mei first entered the small mountain village school, she couldn't believe her eyes. She was 1 to see the sights (情景) in front of her: broken windows, small old desks and chairs. Even 2 , students of different ages were in the same classroom. It was the only class in the school. Han Mei 3 how poor the local people were in education, so she decided to find out as many ways as she could to help them.
One day when Han Mei was giving a class, Ma Qiang, a naughty(顽皮的) boy, made some noises for 4 . Other kids laughed. At that time Han Mei decided to make good use of the chance to help him. She walked towards Ma Qiang and asked him to put out his 5 . Han Mei stood silently beside Ma Qiang and looked at them 6 , then she said with a smile, "I examined(查看) your little fingers just now. I know you will become a good 7 in the future. Come on!" Hearing this, Ma Qiang was surprised because 8 had said such words to him before. This was the first time he had heard them. He couldn't believe that completely 9 he remembered what the teacher said in his heart.
After that, Ma Qiang studied much harder and later he went to college. After many years, just as his volunteer teacher had 10 , he became a famous doctor. Ma Qiang always says his volunteer teacher's encouraging words have made what he is.
In today's world, almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollution are harmful to people's health. However, not all people know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human health, too.
People who work and live in noisy conditions usually become deaf. Many workers who print newspapers and books become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf.
Recently it was discovered that many American children's hearing is as bad as 65-year-old people's, for these children like to listen to pop music and most pop music is noisy. Besides, noise produced by planes or machines will make people's life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or drive them mad.
Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise. In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problems.

Mrs. Li is over 70 years old. She has lived in Beijing all her life. A reporter interviewed her yesterday. The following are their questions and answers. |
② |
Reporter: What was your life like in the past? |
③ |
Mrs. Li: My family lived in a tiny house. My father was a postman, and he often worked twelve hours a day outside in the winter cold or in the summer heat. My mum was a farm girl before she met my father. She was a kind and loving mother. She didn't go out to work. There were five children in my family, and looking after us was more than a full-time job. |
④ |
The food we ate was simple. We could only eat meat once or twice a year. I wasn't sent to school because my family couldn't afford it. |
⑤ |
Reporter: How has life changed? |
⑥ |
Mrs. Li: Families have got smaller than they were in the past. The role of women has changed too. My daughter is really lucky. She has a good education. I'm happy that she can go to work even after getting married, but sometimes I feel lonely because she can't come to see me often. |
⑦ |
Transport and travel are easier today. When I was young, I went everywhere on foot or sometimes by bike. Now you can take the bus, the underground or a plane to travel. What I don't like is that there's so much more traffic. It's so difficult to cross the road. And, of course, we have television today and I really enjoy watching TV. But I hate some of the shows because they are too noisy for me. |
⑧ |
Generally speaking, I think life is better today. We eat better and we live longer. |
When the teacher asked students if they wanted to show their swordplay skills(剑术), many of them raised their hands. This is common in Yingbinlu Primary School(YPS) in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. It started martial arts (武术) training in 2011.
For PE lessons, students in this school can choose from martial arts, table tennis, rope jumping, football and so on. "Only 8 students chose martial arts in the beginning. Now about 200 out of 1,446 students take part in the training," the headmaster (校长) Chen Xue said.
Lou Yiling is 12 years old. She likes the course so much that she practises swordplay at home. Li Zhuoqian is now a 15-year-old middle school student. She graduated (毕业) from YPS three years ago. She used to be very timid and hid behind her mother when it was her turn to show up. After taking martial arts lessons, she became confident and won many prizes in competitions in Chengdu. She even showed martial arts in Japan with her classmates.
Now martial arts become popular not only in this school but also in other parts of our country. In Chenzhou, Hunan Province, more than 100,000 students at primary and middle schools are taking part in martial arts training.
