On the first day of the new term, I met my new headmaster at the school gate. “Follow me, please!” he said. He had a quiet, kind voice. He took me into my new classroom and left. In front of me, thirty pairs of eyes looked at me. I knew he had told the students that I was blind. I could almost feel the question behind their eyes: Blind? I felt the answer too: If she’s blind, this should be good! I heard quiet voices in a corner of the classroom. For a moment, I felt afraid. I knew at once that I had to be strong.
“Class,” I said as loudly as I could. “I may be blind. But I am not foolish. Take those naughty smiles off your faces, and stop talking, please!” Of course, I could not see their faces; I just guessed that some of them were smiling. The class were quiet. They were very surprised. I knew that I had done the right thing.
As the days went by, the students had more surprises. I could smell when the children were eating sweets. I could easily hear combs going through hair, students passing messages, and so on. Once I found a girl passing a message to a friend. I took the message to the teachers’ room. A teacher read it to me. On one side it said, “Do you think she can see?” on the other it said, “I think so. She always knows what we’re doing.”
Soon the students stopped being naughty, and started to work hard. Before long, they brought in photos of their families for me to look at; I knew then they were my friends. I also knew they had forgotten that I could not see.

Go fly a kite
Learning how to fly a kite is simple and flying kites can be a fun form of exercise.
Of course, the first thing you need is a kite and a ball of string (线). 1. Then wait for a windy day.
When the perfect day arrives, find an open space, such as field. 2.
Before flying your kite, find out which way the wind is blowing. 3. To begin flying your kite, stand with your back to the wind and hold the kite up so the wind can catch it. If the day is not very windy, you may need to get your kite started by running.
4. At the same time, walk backwards a few steps to keep the string tight. Now that your kite is up in the air, you can decide how long to fly it and how high you want it to go.
5. Slowly wind up (卷起) the string. Try not to pull your kite in too fast or it may crash (坠落).
Flying kite is a great way to spend a windy afternoon. If you follow these steps carefully, you will have something more fun to do than sitting inside and watching TV. So on the next windy day, get up off the sofa. Go fly a kite!
A. You can do this by throwing grass into the air.
B. Finally, you will need to bring your kite down.
C. You can buy your kite and string at a toy shop.
D. Follow the instructions to put your kite together.
E. Nothing beats seeing a kite sail high into the clouds.
F. Don’t fly your kite near trees because it can get caught.
G. Once the wind catches your kite, let out more string so it can climb higher.
