Last year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service（社区服务）.Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question, "Why are you here?" I did not know how to answer the question.
The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature.
I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.
A teacher stopped this awkward（尴尬的）silence when she shouted at the boy. "What are you doing right here, right now?" she said. "You will never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!" "Sorry," he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about this child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child's parents.
She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support from the teachers and community service workers like us.
I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.
Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children's hearts, making them know they are loved by people.
The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6500 kilometers. It spread from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.
Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices（香料）,cloth, valuable stones and gold.
There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers（士兵）travelled through central Asia. They started to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese village of Liqian. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue-eyed villages of China was started.
During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian, Indian and Chinese areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.
In modern times, the old Silk Road routes（路线）are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35,000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.
We often face the following situations in our daily life:
The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o'clock at night.
The family across the street never cleans up their yard. The rubbish blows into your yard.
The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive.
Have things like this ever happened to you? If so, you may ask yourself, "Who are these people? Why are they doing these things to me?"
These days, many people don't know their neighbors. Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello, but lots of people don't even know their neighbor's names! When you don't know someone, it's easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair. You think, "Maybe they like to make me angry, "or "Maybe they do it on purpose." Believe it or not, your neighbors probably don't mean to irritate（激怒）you. Often, they don't even know that they're making you feel angry. So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem, you should discuss it with them first.
When you move towards your neighbors, you should talk to them in a friendly manner. Praise their children to make them feel good. Then explain the situation. And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem, suggest it.
If talking doesn't work, ask another person to help. This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor solve the situation.
Finally, sometimes it's a good idea to avoid the problem. Depending on the problem, it might be best to just stay out of your neighbor's way.
One of my best friends went abroad to enjoy her holidays, so the job of looking after her dog Missy has been given to me. A few months ago, Missy came to my friend's house. She looked terrible. She has been abused for a long time.
When we first visited my friend and Missy, my friend had to gently pull her over on a lead (牵绳) to get her to come to us. She wanted to come but afraid to do so—the poor, beautiful thing. Clearly Missy came to the right home. My friend has given birth to a baby of his own and shows the love of a mother. This is just what Missy needs. Thanks to the love of my friend, she has changed into a new dog step by step. Sadly, she is still afraid of strange humans. I hate to imagine what the dog must have gone through.
Now, Missy trusts me completely, so I can touch her berry（肚皮）.While standing, she will jump up so gently to be closer to me, putting her paws（爪子）on my legs as she looks at me with those beautiful eyes.
Missy is really brave. She has the courage to try again, to open her hearts, and to know that not everyone is the same kind of people as before. Keep it in mind that tomorrow is another day.

As a new teacher at Doull Primary School in Denver, Kyle Schwartz thought of a simple way to get to know her third graders, most of whom came from 1 families. She asked them to complete the 2 "I wish my teacher knew…" and share something about themselves.
Their 3 answers gave the teacher a chance to understand her students' difficulties. "I wish my teacher knew I have no pencils to do my homework," 4 one child. "I wish my teacher knew sometimes my reading homework is not signed（签名）, because my mom is not 5 a lot," wrote another. Some shared hope for the 6."I wish my teacher knew that I want to go to college."
"Some notes are really heartbreaking," Schwartz tells ABC News. "I care 7 about each of my students and I don't want them to be poor forever." She explains," I hoped to know 8 I could better support them. So I 9 to let them tell me what I needed to know. That was why I created the fill-in-the-blank exercise."
10 the third graders were allowed to answer anonymously（匿名）, most wanted to include names. And some were even excited to read their notes out loud. 11 one shy girl who bravely said that she was lonely. "After she told the class, ‘I don't have friends to 12 me,' I was worried what they would do." Schwartz tells Us Weekly. "However, I felt encouraged to see how much support the other kids offered 13. They invited her to play at break and sit with them at lunch. You see, 14 have an unusual ability to express empathy（同情）."
"The results have been 15," says Schwartz. "It speaks to the importance of giving people a voice and really listening to them."
