Please give kids a break. The request(要求) came after an online survey about  31  activities between classes. Some schools only   32  students to play in the corridors (走廊) during the ten-minute breaks, while   33  even make students do homework in the classroom. About this problem, different people have   34  ideas.
70% of parents in the survey said their children were not allowed to play   35  during breaks. Teachers should know children are 36  to be active, so education shouldn’t run  37   the laws(规律) of nature. “ It   38 that the playground is useless,” said one of the parents.      Some parents agreed to   39  the school did. “ Games during breaks will make children too excited to listen to the teacher   40  in class.” Schools had their own reasons   41    this.

Some schools stopped activities   43  children were injured （受伤）during breaks.   44  didn’t want to do so,   but there was no better   45  to solve the problem.

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a box by his feet．He held up a sign which read，“I am blind，please help．” There were only a few coins in the box．The boy felt sad．

A man walked by．He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the box．Then he took the sign，turned it around and wrote some words．He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words．

Soon the box was full．A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy．

That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were．The boy recognized his footsteps（听出他的脚步声）and asked，“Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”

The man said，“I only wrote the truth．I said what you said but in a different way．”

What he had written was，“Today is a beautiful day and I can not see it．”

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind．But the first sign simply said the boy was blind．The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind．
