There was once an airline with a strict policy. The pilot on every flight must stand at the door with a big smile while the passengers were getting off the plane, saying, “Thank you for flying with us today. Enjoy the rest of your trip.”
One day, an airline pilot had to make a hard landing because of a strong wind. The plane shook badly as the pilot was trying to land it safely. Considering his bad landing, the pilot had difficulty looking his passengers in the eye. He was afraid that the passengers would say something sarcastic about his piloting skills. However, it seemed that the passengers were too nervous or scared to say anything to him about the landing.
Nearly everyone had gotten off the plane except for an old lady and her granddaughter. They were walking down the aisle (通道) slowly. The old lady went up to the pilot and asked, “Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?”
The pilot’s face went red with embarrassment, but he replied politely, “No, madam. That’s just fine. What is your question?”
The old lady said, “Can my granddaughter give you a hug? She wants to show her thanks, but she's too shy to ask.”
The pilot couldn’t believe his ears. He gave the girl a big hug and said, “Thank you so much! It means a lot to me.”

Wang Qi, 14:
I love taking online courses. They give me a lot more choices and freedom. We can choose to learn whatever we want. Also, online classes enable us to study whenever and wherever we want, which is very convenient.
Wu Jun, 13:
I don’t think taking online classes is a good way to study. There are many temptations ( 诱惑) on the Internet. Maybe students will play computer games while taking lessons. Or even they will contact with classmates through QQ or Wechat. Students can be distracted from their courses easily. The whole learning process is not as organized as it is in the classroom.
Zhou Siya, 13:
Online classrooms are beneficial. We might feel more focused on learning when we are alone in front of a computer with no one to distract us. In addition, taking courses online also means we can have more time to use a computer, which is a good way to practice our computer skills.
Li Chunjie, 14:
I think the idea of taking online courses is crazy. It can increase our exposure (接触) to computers and the radiation (辐射) from them could do harm to the human body, especially our eyes. Also, sitting in front of a computer for a long time without exercising can be harmful to our health.
