I had worried myself sick over Simon’s mother coming to see me. I was a new       , and I gave an honest account of the students’ work. In Simon’s case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn’t read his own handwriting.          he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his         .
So when Simon’s mother entered the room, my palms(手掌心) were sweating. I was completely        for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech.          me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he         me, he had began to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had          spent an afternoon at a friend’s house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the       I had nurtured(培养) in her son. She kissed me again and left.
I sat, stunned (惊呆), for about half an hour,        what had just happened. How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without          knowing it? What I finally came to          was one day, several months before, when some students were           reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke           , and to encourage her to raise her voice, L had said, “Speak up. Simon’s the expert on this. He is the          one you have to convince, and he can’t hear you in the          of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention,        more, and became happy. And it was all because he       to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed          was the one who took the last seat that day.
It taught me the most      lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I’m thankful that it came          and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.

Space is where our future is — trips to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Most people would think that aside from comets(彗星) and stars, there is little else out there. But, since our space journey started we have left so much trash（垃圾） there that scientists are now concerned that if we don't clean it up, we may all be in mortal （致命的）danger.
The first piece of space junk was created in 1964, when the American satellite Vanguard I stopped operating and lost its connection with the ground center. However, since it kept orbiting around the Earth without any consequences, scientists became increasingly comfortable abandoning（抛弃） things that no longer served any useful purpose in space.
It is estimated （估计）that there are now over 500,000 pieces of man-made trash orbiting the Earth at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour. The junk varies from tiny pieces of paint chipped off rockets to cameras, huge fuel tanks, and even odd items like the million-dollar tool kit that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn Piper lost during a spacewalk.
The major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage traveling spacecraft(飞船). Moreover, pieces of junk may collide（碰撞） with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the Earth. To avoid this, scientists have invented several ways for clearing the sky. Ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space shuttles. Future plans include a cooperative effort among many nations to stop littering in space and to clean up the trash already there.
What was the first piece of man-made space trash?

Why were scientists NOT concerned about space trash in the beginning?

Which of the following statements is true about space junk?

What has been done about the space trash problem?
