When a new student appeared in the music class, all the children burst into (突然发出) laughter. “You’re in the wrong place, granddad!” a student shouted.

“Quiet, children. This is Mr Hant, I used to teach his children. They grew up a long time ago. Now Mr Hant is old enough not to work, so he wants to learn the flute (长笛) himself,” the teacher explained.

“Can old people really learn?” the children asked in surprise.

“Yes, of course,” the teacher replied.

To begin with, the children laughed at Haut, but soon the old man played the flute better than any of them.

Two years later, the teacher announced, “This year, instead of the final exam, the best students will perform a flute concert in the capital.”

“Is Mr Hant coming too?” asked the children.

“Of course, he is our best student. It will be his exam to become a musician. The king will be there as a special guest. He has prepared the prize for the best musician—a gold flute.”

When it’s Mr Hant’s turn to play, no one wanted to let him play on the stage.

“You’re in the wrong place, granddad. This is a competition for students!” They told him.

“And I am a student! The old man replied proudly.”Mr Hant got a lot of applause(鼓掌) when he played. At the end, even the king applauded his performance.

When Hant was presented with the gold flute, his teacher said proudly, “It’s never too late to learn.”

It's Tuesday today. The students are having music. It's their favorite subject. The music teacher is Miss Zhao. She's very funny. She sings some relaxing songs with the students. Then she writes the word "smile" on the blackboard. She says, "This is one of the longest words in English." All the students laugh and a boy stands up and asks, "Why?" Miss Zhao says with a smile, "Because there is a mile in the word."

As the father of a student, I have experienced first hand what a great teacher is. My son was in the 4th grade last year, and he had a teacher called Miss Green. I believe that when he is an adult he will surely look back on her as the best teacher he has ever had.

My son has attention deficit disorder(注意力缺损症) that makes it a little more difficult for him to learn. She was able to change her teaching methods for him so that he could keep up with the rest of the class. As a result, he got straight As on many subjects. She regarded her class as a family and they even had their own class song. She would often have them sing it to encourage them and develop a team spirit for them. When she saw that they were no longer listening carefully to what she was teaching, she would have them close their textbooks, stand up all around the room and throw around a small football. This helped them clear their minds and then focus on the lesson again. Besides, she was quick to reply to any phone calls or emails from us and got rid of our worries about children quickly.

When my son went to the 5th grade this year, we happened to pass her classroom. When she saw my son, she smiled, and she came out and hugged him. She generally loves all of the children in her classroom and that love really shows. I can only pray that my son will continue to get teachers just like her for the rest of his school years.

It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves    (1)   inthe cool   (2)   . In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves, listening to the sound of them. Autumn is a   (3)    season and life is uninteresting. The free days always make me   (4)   . But one day, the sound of a violin   (5)    into my ears like a stream flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was    (6)    in playing her violin. I had    (7)   seen her before. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn’t realize that I had been   (8)    there for so long but my   (9)    did not seem to disturb(打扰) her. Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building.   (10)    I went downstairs to watch her performance, I was the only audience. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became    (11)   .  (12)    we didn’t know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believed she also liked me. Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening devotedly, the sound suddenly stopped. To my    (13)   , the girl came over to me.

“You must like violin, ” she said.

“Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.

Suddenly, a    (14)    expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.

“I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that   (15)   me. ” she said.
