—Yes, we will ________ to the poor students in a village school.
My grandfather was a teacher. He was the head teacher of a school for boys between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle(温柔的)man at heart, because when I was young, he gave me presents, and sat me on his knees(膝盖), and told me stories. But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.
At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy (少闹的)boys, there was silence(安静)at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, that boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work, the work that was not the best that boy could do, my grandfather picked up the boy's work and threw it across the room, shouting,” Do it all again, and bring it back first thing in the morning!” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the work, he had to do it again, and again, and yet again. My grandfather never forgot. He was a very different man at school, from the man I saw day by day in his own home.
The eyes are the window of the soul （灵魂）. Eye language can express different feelings. People from English-speaking countries have more eye contact when they are in conversation. When Americans are talking, they usually look at each other. But there are many rules about eye language：Whether to look at the other speaker or not；when it is the time to look, how long they can look; who they can look at and who they can't. All these have different meanings.
Americans put great importance on the time and the way of eye contact. In ordinary conversation, they will look at each other about one minute and then they will look away. Too long eye contact will make people feel uncomfortable. Once some Americans had a trip to a foreign village and the local people stared （盯） at them. The Americans were angry and thought the local people were not friendly. In fact, it was natural and local area. They were just curious（好奇的）.
People who like each other have more eye contact than people who dislike each other. Women usually communicate with more eye contact. If two Americans stare at each other, it shows they are close friends. In North America, the children have learned to look at the other speaker in the eye. If they don't, they are thought to be unconfident.

A poor farmer had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apple trees he grew.
One day, his friend gave the farmer a young apple tree and told him to plant it. The farmer was pleased with the gift, but he did not know where to plant it.
He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbors would come at night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the fruit. Finally he planted the tree in his wood. But without sunlight and good soil(土壤), the tree soon died.
Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place. “What's the difference?” the farmer said angrily and then told what he had thought.
“Yes,” said the friend, “but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit. Now you not only have robbed everyone of the fruit, but also you have destroyed (毁掉) a good apple tree! ”
