Jenny was a nurse in a children's hospital. One evening there was a big dance in the hospital, Most of the doctors and nurses would be there, but of course some had to look after the children. Jenny was not among the fortunate (幸运的) ones who were free to go to the dance. She enjoyed dancing very much, so when she had to start working that evening while her friends were getting ready to go to the dance, she felt very sorry for herself. She went to each sick child one by one and said good night. She came to a little boy called Tommy in the end. Tommy was only 11 years old, but he already talked like an adult. Poor Tommy had a very serious illness, and now he could hardly move any part of his body except his hands. But he was happy and thought about others instead of himself all the time.
When Jenny came up to his bed, he said, "I'm sorry that you have to miss the dance because of us. But we are going to have a party for you. If you look in my drawer, you'll find a piece of cake. I saved it from my supper today, so it's pretty fresh." "I'd get up and dance with you if I could," he added.
Suddenly the hospital dance seemed very far away and not at all important to Jenny.

When you do your homework, you may often meet some problems. How do you solve them? Tom, a middle school student, would take out his smartphone, open a special app (应用) and search the problem. Answers soon appear on the screen.
Nowadays, many students do homework with the help of the special apps like Tom. "It's convenient. You don't have to go out or wait for a tutor at home," Tom said.
