This is important. The story here isnt that I handed out masks; its that there are hundreds of people who are working in dangerous environments with no protection (防护). And no one even knows about it. Paulina also put some photos on the Internet, and they were picked up by the news. Many people were surprised at the news, and they knew what happened to those farm workers for the first time. The next day, Paulina added, I traveled through Lodi and Stockton not just to hand out masks, but to help the farm workers understand the pollution. In Lodi yesterday the workers were picking fruit in such dangerous environments. None of them even knew this. Not too far from our homes, hundreds of people are working in these environments. I will buy more masks and send them to a Stockton farm worker. He helped me hand out masks yesterday.

Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.

Sprawling himself(懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as l walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. I dont know what to do with him these days, she said. Hes forgotten all the manners we taught him. He hasnt forgot tell them. Hes just decided that hes not going to use them. Sheconfessed(坦白)that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor. Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table. Stare at me and say. I dont like your dress: Its ugly. One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home. Where did we go wrong? her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much.
