After finishing shopping in the supermarket, I and my wife Julie stood in the shortest line.
There was only one guy in it, but he was in a   31  and there seemed to be some trouble going on.
Well, I and my wife Julie stepped in behind him. At first, he seemed to be having 32 getting his groceries onto the conveyor belt. But after a while, I realized that what he was actually doing was  33  them into two parts. I offered to help, but he and the checkout lady had it  34  He asked Julie if she would mind   35  his empty basket away. Then he   36  for his wallet which was in a pocket on one side of his wheelchair. The way he was positioned and the fact that he had only one   37  arm made this quite a stretch for him, so I helped there.
What must it be like, I wondered, to be so  38   on other people like that.9 The checkout operator came around and gave him his   39  and the items he needed. She   40  one bag of groceries over a handle at the back of his chair. I   41  to get the. bigger bag and he said, "No. 42 you could do me a favor. Take that part along to the entrance and give it to Angela. " I dutifully did that,   43  Julie with our shopping. It  44  that Angela was collecting food for people who might otherwise go hpngry!
This guy, despite the  45 that his physical condition imposed on him, had   46  more than twice as much shopping as he needed and   47  the bigger bag to help other people! He didn't let the fact that he needed help  48  him from being a help. He may have been limited  49  , bat his heart was more than capable of  50  all that. And it changed my idea of dependenee.

Mr. Ma, a famous mental doctor from Beijing once said at an important meeting, “Now many young students can have many problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people around them like their parents and classmates. Parents and teachers should care more about this problem.”

Then Mr. Ma gave some examples. One patient, a middle school student from Xi’an was doing badly in his lessons. He thought his teachers and friends often laughed at him, and he became so nervous and worried that one night he left his home without telling parents. Another student, a 14-year-old schoolgirl from Shanghai, was very afraid of exams. While she was reading the exam paper, she couldn’t think of anything to write.

Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others won’t talk about their own secrets.

At the end of the meeting, Mr. Ma offered some good ideas to young people:

Annalisee Brasil, a 14-year-old girl, is one of the brightest kids of her generation. When Annalisee was 3, her mother Angi noticed that she was stringing together word cards into correct sentences. After the girl turned 6, her mother took her for an IQ text. Her IQ is above 145, placing the girl in the top 0.1% of the population. Annalisee should be the star pupil at school. She is witty and pretty, and it’s easy to imagine she would get along well at school. But Annalisee’s parents couldn’t find a school willing to take their daughter. So her mother homeschooled Annalisee.

But Angi felt something was missing in her daughter’s life. Annalisee didn’t have a rich social network of other kids. She had trouble getting along with others. She described herself as a “perfectionist” and said other students sometimes were jealous of her.

What’s needed is a new model for gifted education. That’s the idea behind the Davidson Academy of Nevada. At the academy, all the kids are skipping ahead quickly. However, the academy’s most important gift to its students is social, not academic. One of the main functions of the school is to provide a good social setting for the highly gifted.

Last year the school enrolled Annalisee, which has been good for her. She has made friends at the academy. She has also developed an interest in calculus(微积分) and biochemistry(生物化学). Socially, Annalisee is finally learning to get along with others. “It’s been interesting having to deal with that and getting used to the judgments of other kinds,” she said. “We get into arguments a lot, because we’re all really smart people with opinions, and it doesn’t always turn out that great. Sometimes I take things a little too personally.”
