I set up a classroom library of books that I bought with my own money. The library looks beautiful, like a flower shop. And my students like it very much. I read the children a story. It is about a girl who is so 46 that she wears the 47 dress to school every day. But she says she has a hundred dresses at home. The other girls laugh at her until she goes away. Later, her classmates find she really has a hundred dresses — a hundred beautiful 48 of dresses. Oh, God, every child 49 when I close the book. 50 almost five minutes, everything is quiet. Then a boy 51 in my ear, “I have to tell the class something.” He shows me that he has half a finger(手指)missing. I turn him to the class and put my hand on his shoulders(肩膀). He is a little nervous. “I…I only have nine and a half fingers.” He puts up his hands. “Please don’t laugh at me about it.” The students become 52 . Then one boy calls out, “ 53 who makes fun of(嘲笑)you , I’ll kick(踢)him.” “Me, too,” says 54 .When the boy sees the class become united(团结的), he is very 55 and smiles at me.

A

Nearly every girl likes beautiful dresses and sometimes a dress may have a beautiful story behind it. Xiao Yan was born in a small village. When she was 8, she left it to live with her parents in a town. She often used impolite words when she was unhappy. Sometimes she rolled(滚动)on the ground. All the people around didn't like her.

Her parents tried to tame(驯服)her by beating(打)and kicking, but failed(失败). Finally, they became disappointed(失望的)with her.

One day, her neighbour, a woman teacher, gave Xiao Yan a beautiful snowwhite dress. She liked it very much as soon as she saw it. She put on the dress and looked like another person. “My girl, this is the most beautiful dress, and the girl who wears it will be the most beautiful one in the world,” the kind neighbour said, touching her head gently. From then on, the girl no longer abused(辱骂)or hit others, even less rolled on the floor. She became lovely because she believed only the most beautiful girl had the right to wear the most beautiful dress.

In fact, everybody has a beautiful dress hidden somewhere in his or her heart(心).The only thing is that some people don't realize(意识到)it. Similarly, beauty is a powerful force(力量)that is sometimes not seen by many of us.
