As a student, you must have read a lot of interesting books. Most of the books come from the school library, I am sure. Perhaps you also get books from the bookstore in your town. The books are something given to you as   1   by your parents or friends, I think. Besides, if you like reading and want to learn more, I am sure that you buy books    2    .

Have you ever thought how books are   3   ? Well, after a book is written, it passes through the hands of many different workers. Each one works very carefully, for there must not be any    4    in the book. It is read many times by different people before it is finished.

Millions of books are printed in our country every year. So people can get   5   to read. Now may I ask you a question? How well do you take   5    of books? What have you learned about the care of books?

Perhaps you bought yourself some   7    books. Have you put paper covers on them? Do you open    8   carefully? Sometimes new books break along the back if you open them   9   in the middle. I hope that you don’t  10    the pages carelessly. If you do, you may tear them.

It was near Christmas during my first semester teaching a new school. I love my small special class more than any group I had taught in the past. They were hungry for knowledge and I was enjoying teaching.
Other teachers had told me that our children were from poor families and not to expect any child to bring a Christmas gift. In fact, I wasn’t expecting any gifts.
Imagine my surprise when every child brought me a gift on the day before our holiday break. First, I got a much-loved stuffed monkey from a shy girl. I was told, “He is my favorite, but I love you and I want him to be with you, Miss Taylor” How thrilled I was!
Next came a new set of Christmas tree lights that was “missing” from a mother's cupboard.
Finally, I came to one little boy’s gift which I had never received. It was an old, dirty and broken Christmas story book. Just then I wanted to express my happiness, I was interrupted(打断)by the giver, “And see, it is new! It still has the price tag.”        "
When other children laughed at him, I stopped them and said, “Oh, books are good in that way. The story is always new if you have not read it before. Now, Let’s share one together.” Everyone listened quietly as I read the most wonderful Christmas story of my life.
I still keep those Christmas gifts, They always remind me of my lovely kids.
