Policemen do cry. Movies and television show that policemen are tough and hard. But policemen do cry.
Ken Knapcik had been a policeman in Chicago for 20 years when one of his fellow policeman was shot during a drug arrest, and died. Shortly after, he returned home after work to find a note from his 15-year-old daughter on the dining table.
Dad
This poem came directly from heart. I love you so much. It scares me that you go out every day and risk everything to provide us with all that we have. I am also very proud of you. I wrote this to express how much I love you and how lost I’d be without you.
Laura
P.S. Hey, be careful out there.
Laura’s poem was called "The Best Policeman." It was dedicated (献给) "To all the policeman in the world who have daughters who love them with all their hearts, especially to my father who had been shot. Part of the poem reads: " Daddy, my Daddy, can you hear me? Oh, God, I need my Daddy. Please don’t let him die!"
Knapcik stood alone as he read the poem. "It took me several minutes." he said. " I’d got through part of it and have to stop before I could go on. I was weeping(哭泣). She had never told me she was scared." He took the poem to work the next day and showed it to his fellow officers. "I ‘ve never seen so many grown men cry. Some couldn’t even finish reading it."

A survey has shown that only one third of people prefer to live in big cities. 31 In a big city or in the country? Maybe, wherever you are, there are advantages and disadvantages.
32 The transportation in big cities is convenient. There are many shopping centers. And the catering(餐饮) industry is developing very well. So it is easier for you to travel, to have dinners or go shopping. But there are some things that make us bored, such as rush hour traffic, noise pollution and fast-paced life.
33 The air is a lot fresher than that of the big cities. There is also a lower cost of living, good scenery, a slower pace and more green trees. You are eager and easy to get close to nature. It would be better if there is a river running through where you live. You will hear long-lost bird calls and see lots of animals and plants. The happy life in the country will make you forget the inconvenience here and the mosquito(蚊子) bite.
Nowadays, returning to nature has become a new trend. There are a lot of people working in big cities and on vacation in the countryside.
34 When they are free, they will go to the country to relax themselves.
In my opinion, young people should strive(打拼) in the big cities.
35 Maybe, a place that is fit for you is the best place. Every coin has two sides.
A.Where would you prefer to live? B. Older people can choose to live in the country. C.As we all know, everything in the big cities is convenient. D. But if you live in the country, you will have different feelings. E. Besides, there are some people who buy their own houses in their favorite rural(乡村的) areas. |

“I want this report before Sunday! Your deadline!” Robin, my boss, shouted at me as usual. On a Friday evening, that meant my weekend plans would be destroyed.
I was disappointed and upset. I couldn’t go on with my work. I decided to leave for the day and come early to work on Saturday morning. What was worse, I couldn’t get my car going. So I decided to take a taxi. As I got close to the road, I became more disappointed. Why always me? I had no reason to smile or be happy.
While I was waiting, I saw a little girl in a dirty and dusty shirt under a tiny roof(屋檐) nearby. Her hair looked untidy. She was playing with a puppy on her lap. Puppy was a street dog just like the girl. Both of them appeared happy with each other.
I had not thought about my office, my disappointment and my unhappiness even for a moment since watching this little girl. She had nothing that I had. However, she had what I lacked(缺乏)—the spirit to be happy and the ability to find a reason to smile.
She had unknowingly taught me a priceless lesson. Happiness does not depend on what you have; it depends on what you think of what you have. If she could smile in the situation she was in, who was stopping me? Me, myself!

Rules to Remember to Stay Safe in a School
What should you do if there is a fire at school? Do you know how to protect yourself in a large crowd?Every year since 1996,on the last Monday of the last week in March,the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students is held.It offers us a chance to learn more about school safety.
A survey from People's Daily shows that the worst accidents were a result of stampedes(踩踏),fires and traffic.
Experts suggest that right safety measures could avoid 80 percent of these accidents,China
Education Daily reported.
When facing an accident,the first and most important rule is to stay calm.But different
accidents mean different ways of dealing with them.
A stampede happens in a place where a large crowd is gathered.When students around you begin to push,stand still and try to hold onto something,or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves.If you fall down in a moving crowd,cover your head with both hands.Lean to one side,curl your body and bend your legs.
