Do you know this girl?
     I was in the park with my elder sister, Cathy, on Friday. My sister left her jacket on a chair while we
talked to some friends. When we went back to the chair, a girl in a red T-shirt was sitting there. She had
some money in her hand. When she saw us, she got up and walked away.
     I asked my sister, "Did you have any money in your jacket?"
     She said, "Yes, Anna, I did."
     I said, "Look in your jacket quickly."
     Cathy looked in her jacket, but her money was not there.
     "That girl stole it!" I said, and we both ran after her. We caught her quickly.
     My sister was very angry and she said, "Give me the money." The girl gave the money to Cathy and
ran away. We both ran after her, but we lost her.
     Then we went home. But before we could tell our parents, my mother said to Cathy, "You left your
money at home. It's on the table in the sitting room. You must be more careful with money." So the girl
in the red T-shirt was not a thief! She probably thought we were thieves! We felt terrible.
     Please telephone us if you know this girl! We are very sorry for our mistake. We would like to say
sorry to her and give the money back to her.
     Our number is 512667. My name is Anna.

     In Britain, guide (向?qū)? dogs are the "eyes" for many blind people. At first, Lucy went to a woman's home
when she was three months old. For nine months, the woman trained her to walk, sit, stop and lie down.

     When I was twelve years old, my family were the first black people to move into an all white part of
Grand Rapids, Michigan. Many of our new neighbors weren't very welcoming. Some of them said angrily
that we should return to where we came from. The children sometimes threw stones at me or drove me
home from school.
     Most of my teachers simply took no notice of me, but not Dorothy Bean, my history teacher. Miss Bean
was angry at how badly I was being treated, but she didn't say this to me. Miss Bean showed her respect
for me by teaching me just like anyone else. Instead of being unnoticed, I was given a chance to show that
I was clever. Miss Bean was the first teacher who ever made me think for myself. She always wanted to
know what I thought about difficult questions. Was Thomas Jefferson right to buy Louisiana from France?
Why? She expected me to have my own idea. Miss Bean was teaching me that thinking for oneself was the
real key to education.
     One day, when I was not paying attention in class, Miss Bean suddenly threw an eraser at me. The eraser
hit me right on the hand and sent my pencil flying. The whole class were very surprised at first, then started
laughing. This event became famous in the school and, because it happened to me, the students wanted to
get to know me. So that's the story of how Dorothy Bean made me her target (靶子), and how I became
just another kid in school.
