Teaching second grade is always a challenge. Each student arrives at school with his own needs and difficulties. One year a student called Billy   36   me with his behavior as well as his academic requirements. He struggled daily with his   37   emotions and often became angry or violent. I knew that, to make   38   progress, his emotions needed controlling. 
One   39   I tried to help Billy was to have him come directly into the classroom when he arrived at school. Billy’s mom would   40   me to alert (警告) me to a particularly emotional morning at home. Then, I would focus on   41   his anger and calming him down before the other students arrived.
One week our class was studying   42  . I thought one way to bring learning into the classroom was to bring my dog Rocky to school for the day.
That day began as normal. I was preparing activities focused on dog themes   43   I was told that Billy had a   44   morning at home and I might need to get him   45  . As I was talking to his mom, Billy   46   into the classroom. To Billy’s   47  , Rocky immediately ran up to his new   48  , wagging his tail and licking Billy’s face with doggy affection. Billy couldn’t   49   Rocky’s charm (魅力) and began laughing as his anger melted away.
Throughout the day, Billy never left Rocky’s side, feeding him, being gentle with him and even   50   the other students while Rocky was sleeping.
Billy was known for doing anything he could to avoid   51  , but on this day he found a good dog story, “Clifford’s Puppy Days,” and read it to Rocky. How   52   I was at the sight of Billy reading happily！My little dog was able to   53   Billy’s day from one of anger and frustration to one of laughter, gentleness and   54  .
That day Rocky more than helped me with my   55  ; he helped to change the life of a child! After that Billy’s behavior definitely improved.

You know it’s truly amazing how the Jewish people survived after thousands of years of being slaves, persecuted(追捕), and even attempted genocide (種族滅絕)when Hitler’s Nazi murdered 6 million Jews! That’s why in 1934, Germany was the    36   place to be a Jew. When Hitler’s teenage gangs    37    his village, the little    38    boy, Heinz, was just 11 years old.
Every day Heinz’s parents taught their    39    how important it was to learn    40   . When the Nazi gangs terrorized their village on the streets daily, Heinz’s parents knew that just one moment of losing control of their    41   against their rulers could    42    the death of the family. So Heinz learned to stay out of their    43   , sometimes crossing the street or taking a    44   road home.
But one day, young Heinz was finally    45    by one of Hitler’s bullies(暴徒). For the first time, Heinz was    46   to talk to a Nazi youth.

That day, Heinz discovered his survival skill of talking and    51    with others. It was a major    52   point that changed his life---and later changed the world.
After a few years, Heinz’s family escaped from Germany and moved to America. But Heinz never forgot how to talk with people and help bring    53    between enemies. You see, that 11-year-old boy who had    54    his first peace settlement with a Nazi bully, later became one of the greatest ambassadors of peace in the world. You’ve probably heard of him- not as Heinz- but by his American name: Henry Kissinger, the    55   US Secretary of State.
