While I was sweeping leaves on the ground, my five173。year173。old son Nick came over and asked me to write something on a piece of paper to make a sign for him. What for? I asked. I39。m going to sell some of my stones, he answered. Nick was fascinated with stones and had collected many stones from all over. I39。m too busy to do that for you. Go and ask your mum for help. I said. A short time later, Nick returned with a sign, reading. Stones. One Dollar Each. He took the sign, a small chair and 4 of his best stones and walked to the road in front of our garden. There he put the stones in a line and sat down on the chair. After half an hour, nobody passed by. I walked to him and asked him to go back, but he didn39。t. Another half an hour later, a small car came down the road. Nick stood up, holding his sign up. A woman rolled down（搖下） a window and read the sign. I couldn39。t hear their talk, but I saw the woman turn to the driver and the man reach into his pocket for money. I sat in the yard, as Nick ran to me. Waving the dollar, he shouted. I told you I could sell one stone for a dollar—if you believe in yourself, you can do anything.（1）Why didn39。t the writer help his son?

On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn39。t what I expected. It didn39。t look like a school at all. The school had only 3 rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and another for Grades4, 5 and 6. There was a third one for me. The children weled me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level. To my surprise, although the test was very easy, over half of them failed it. But they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me. I am busy preparing lessons, and reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hardworking children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better and we are now good friends. I have worked in Longzhou for a year now. I39。m very happy, and the experience has been very useful to me. I love the small village and, the children. In fact, I would like to continue working there.（1）The writer found there were only160
