Unfortunately, Dad became ill and soon was out of a job. I was only 8 years old and my younger brother, Buddy was 7. After school we went to pick coal(煤) that fell from the coal train along the railroad near our home. When the train slowed down, we ran alongside it. After the train passed, we picked up the fallen coal.One day, the train stopped for a short time unusually. My brother and I were digging around in the snow when the trains fireman came to the window and shouted to us, “Why are you boys digging in the snow?

Its really dangerous here.”“Our daddy is very sick and we have no money to buy food and coal,” I answered.The fireman turned and went inside. After a moment, he shouted again. “Hey! Bring that coal bucket(桶子) here. I got something for you.” Then the fireman filled our bucket with clean coal. We were happy with his gift, and we knew we could go home early that day.He smiled the kindest and warmest smile I had ever seen. “You two boys come here the day after tomorrow and Ill throw off some coal.”Two days later, Buddy and I stood by the railroads as the train slowed down. The fireman waved to us, then disappeared. Suddenly, some coal and a piece of red cloth came out. In the red cloth were two pieces of bubble gum(泡泡糖) and a new one-dollar bill.All that winter, three days a week, we received a bucket of coal, a gift and, sometimes, money.

You also remember them easily.Do you like to study in the living room? This is not a good place because it is usually too noisy. The telephone bell rings there； the TV is there， and sometimes it is a good place for your pet dog or cats to play and rest. You need to study in a quiet place， like your bedroom. A quiet place will help you only think about one thing， and you will learn better.Before you begin to study， do not forget to clean your desk. A good desk light is important， too. Youll feel tired easily if there is not enough light (光线). So you should have a clean and bright lamp. To tell you the truth， the most important is that you should put your heart into your study.20 .

The 13-year-old saw that the desks were no longer in rows(排), but pushed together to make six bigger desks. The new arrangement(排列) was part of a reform(改革) at Fans school, Changsha Daotian Middle School in Hunan. About five weeks ago, more than 2,000 junior students at the school began studying in this way, with six to eight students sitting in groups. This reform is designed to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances for discussion,said Liu Xu,na school head teacher.

Its a better way to study. Feng Yu likes this new classroom arrangement very much and has made some progress studying.

The discussion gives us more confidence to make speeches,said Feng.We can also improve our friendships.
