Old John has worked as a school keeper in Hill Ford School. After walking into the school building every day, he cleans rubbish bins and bathrooms.
Last Friday, after he arrived at the school, instead of finding rubbish to clean up, he found almost 500 students lining in the hallway(大厅) with handmade cards and singing a happy birthday song to him. It was his 80th birthday. As he walked the long hallway, someone rushed to him and gave him a hug. They handed him so many cards as well and the cards filled several large boxes. Old John was touched by their expression of affection(关爱). He thanked them all. “It’s the sixteenth year in this school. They’re like my children.” Old John said.
On a regular day, students sometimes come up to find him and say they’re not feeling well or other times to tell him about something that happened at break time. He knows most of the students at the school, but can’t name each one. Some of them make him know them. Like Faith, who often leaves her school bag in the canteen, and Lucy, who just wants a hug.
Carrie, a reading teacher said,“He won’t brag(夸耀) on himself, but it doesn’t matter what he’s doing or where he is, he will stop what he’s doing at any time to give all his attention and take care of a child if that child is having a bad day. ”
He works circles around all the students, cleaning up the mess others don’t want to touch. He doesn’t expect a lot. Old John said he hadn’t planned to do much for his birthday, so he was touched as the students had prepared the surprise celebration.
Over the weekend, he worked through the handmade cards at his house. One card from a student stood out to him. It read “Old John, you are the most loved one in our school...”

Roy is a middle-aged man who lives happily with his family in a big house. He is a successful craftsman now. But his life is not a1. so great. He had a learning disability from an early age. He went to a school for children like him and he got plenty of extra help in this school. He still suffered(受苦) the rest of his school days in public schools.
His life improved so much when he discovered art. The art world gave him a chance to express himself w2. words. He went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay. Then he learned an important lesson: Though he was disabled in language, he could still be s3. and successfully express himself with clay.
He got his n4. lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but he was scared from the start. He soon found it wasn’t a talent thing; it was just p5.. So he did it more. After about five years of climbing, he found himself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. He learned that if a person fell in love with something and did it all the time, he would get better at it. And his confidence came along with it.
Later he found his e6. really helpful when learning how to read and write. Every day he spent many hours reading and writing, which he used to a7. as much as possible. After two hard years, he could read and write as well as others.
He has gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, reading and writing. Now he has got to a point in his life where he knows he is also able to dive into an area that is totally hard, unknown, but interesting.
As you are growing and changing, you have more responsibilities and also more freedom to spend time with other people. While you may feel ___________ to make your own decisions about where and when to go, your parents will put limits on you.

Here are some tips for you on how to keep away from and handle arguments with your parents.
● ___________ the rules ahead of time and not at the last minute. This way you will be able to tell whether they will say yes or no before you make plans. Your parents can also explain to you why each rule is in place. Ask them to let you explain how the rules make you feel and suggest what you think are ___________ rules. Your parents may be willing to listen to your ideas and use them when making rules that you both agree on.
● Try to keep calm when your parents say no to something. You will show your parents that you are responsible and mature by talking instead of ___________.
● Spend time with your family. Some teens argue with their parents over the amount of time they spend with others. Communicate with each other and make some interesting family time so that you can all enjoy the time you spend at home. Suggest some ___________ that your whole family will enjoy together.
