　　At first I couldn't believe it! There were no 1 in rows; no bells rang; no one had to go to 2 . Although we all lived “in”, 3 made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “lights out”.

　　The 4 thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 5 class. The new ones always went wild at first, but this never lasted long.

　　The 6 took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like 7 ; never did we have to 8 “stand up”, “speak out”. I don't 9 one student who didn't try his best.

　　The subjects were the same as those in 10 school, but what a difference in the approach (方式)! For example, in botany (植物学) we had no classes in spring or fall, but instead we 11 two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Then in winter we each studied a few 12 things about what we had grown. In math the students built three different kinds of storerooms-small ones 13 , but unusual. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 14 time too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, 15 the angles (角度) and so on. I didn't take math. I can't stand it! Besides, I could do the things with numbers. That's 16 ! 17 , I think I am a 18 person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else of my age, and I can think better. That's probably a real big 19 between the free school and regular school—the amount of 20 .

More good things come from small things

About a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any 36 from the children, but the parents were always shouting at the kids.

We 37 often in the hallways when we were coming or going. I 38 spoke, but the only 39 I ever got was a hello from the four – year – old girl.

I usually go out for breakfast and one day when I 40 they were just coming from their apartment and the little girl was holding the door 41 for the others. I 42 in the car doing unnecessary things because I didn’t like to be snubbed（冷落）. The parents were 43　 her to hurry and get in the car, I looked up and saw the little girl was 44 holding the door open, 45 for me.

I hurried as much as I could and 46 her. She was smiling from ear to ear. That afternoon I saw a white toy bear, I 47 the little girl and said to myself, “I 48 she would like that” so I bought it. I wrote a note 49 　how much her act of kindness had touched a soft spot in an old man’s 50 .

The next day there was a 51 　on the door and 52 　was the little girl and her father. She was so proud of her bear and thanked me. Then I 53 her mother and the other children were there in the hall too. The mother and father both thanked me.

Now when we meet in the hall we all speak, and in a 54 　manner, I might add. 55 　time passes, I don’t hear that shouting as often. In fact, hardly at all.
