　　President (总统) George W Bush is visiting an elementary school today and visits one of the 4th grade classes. They are in the middle of a discussion(讨论) of words and their meanings.

　　The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word“tragedy”. So the President asks the class for an example of a“tragedy”.

　　One little boy stands up and says,“If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy.”

　　“No,”says Bush,“that would be an accident.”

　　A little girl puts up her hand,“If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff(悬崖), killing everyone in the bus, that would be a tragedy.”

　　“I am afraid not,”explains the President.“That is what we would call a GREAT LOSS(损失).”

　　The room goes quiet. No other children answer. President Bush looks around the mom.“Is not there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”

　　At last, in the back of the room, a boy named Johnny puts up his hand. In a quiet voice he says,“If Air Force One, carrying you and Mrs Bush, was hit by a missile(导弹) and blown up to pieces, that would be a tragedy.”

　　“Right,”exclaims(大叫)Bush,“that is right, and can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?”

　　“Well,”little Johnny says,“because, as you just told us, it would not be an accident, and it sure as well would not be a great loss.”

My life in a middle school

______________________________________________________

Dear Annie,
I have never written a letter to a newspaper before, I have just never felt the need to do such a thing. I have always felt I was quite able to do everything by myself. But now I know I was wrong.
Sometimes you really need help in life, I guess. And that’s why I’m writing this letter to you.
I have a happy family. I love my children and they love me . I’m a mother of three children. I know well how to bring up (带大)children, and two of them are already over twenty, so it is nothing new for me.
But now I have a serious problem:the Internet problem. My little son is just sixteen, and I feel he should do a lot of homework now , but he doesn’t seem to be interested in it . He can happily spend six or eight hours at a time on the Tnternet every day , He chats with pelple that he has never met before , but speaks little to us .He does lots of useless things on the Internet. And he sees red if you ask him to do his homework.
I just want him to be a good student . Now he seldomdoes his lessons at home. I’m afraid he will drop behind in his class soon. His father is a doctor , a very kind man . He never seems to be afraid of his father.
What can I do ?And don’t tell to talk to him. We’ve tried that and it didn’t work. But this is really a big problem in our family. I have tried everything I can think of . I
wonder how the Internet is so attractive(有吸引力的).You’re my last hope. Please tell me what I can do!
Yours,
Ellen Smith
