Amanda Kitts is one of "tomorrow's people"﹣people who have artificial(人工的) body parts. She has a bionic(电子操控的)arm.

    Now Kitts runs a day﹣care center. Children run up to her happily as she comes into the classroom. She bends over to talk with a small girl. As she bends, Kitts puts her hands on her knees. For most people, this would be easy. However, just a few years ago, this was impossible for Kitts.

    In 2006, Kitts was in a car accident. A truck crushed(挤坏) her left arm and the doctor had to cut it off. "I was angry, sad, depressed. I just couldn't accept it," she says. But then she heard about a new technique that could use the remaining nerves(神经) in her shoulder to control an artificial arm.

    In a difficult operation, a doctor moved Kitts's nerves to different areas of her upper﹣arm muscles. For months, the nerves grew. Millimeter by millimeter, they moved deeper into their new homes. "At three months I started feeling little tingles and twitches(刺痛和抽搐)," she said. A month later, she got her first bionic arm. A research engineer worked with Kitts to make the computer programs match her real movements more and more closely.

    Today, Kitts's arm is great, but it's not yet perfect. She wants feeling in her hands. For example, she needs to feel whether something is rough or smooth. She also needs feeling to do one of her favorite things﹣drink coffee. "The problem with a paper coffee cup is that my hand will close until it gets a solid grip," she says. One time at a coffee shop, her hand kept closing until it crushed the cup. But Kitts says positively, "One day I'll be able to feel things with it…and clap my hands…to the songs my kids are singing."

One day Vimala and her new friend, Mary, were playing at school. Mary was a very quiet and shy girl but Vimala liked her. While jumping, Mary's glasses fell off and broke. Just then the bell rang and they had to hurry to their science class.

    "Oh dear, I'm going to be as blind as a bat. But we'd better hurry. It's Miss Lee's class," said Mary.

     At the start of the lesson, Miss Lee explained how to do the experiment to produce large crystals. Then she started to question the class. Nobody dared to give a wrong answer because Miss Lee was a very strict teacher. Miss Lee held up a clamp (夹具) and said, "What do we use this for? What do we call it?" All the girls looked down, while she looked at their heads for one to pick on. "Mary?" she finally asked.

    Mary was sitting at the back of the class. She stood up and peered at Miss Lee, but she could not see clearly what the teacher was holding. She was nervous a bit and did not answer.

    Miss Lee repeated her question. This time she spoke more slowly and there was anger in her voice.

"What is this used for?" she asked.

    Vimala saw storm clouds climbing up to Miss Lee's face. She knew that the storm was about to burst on Mary, so she put up her hand. Miss Lee paid no attention to her and stared through narrowed eyes at Mary, waiting for an answer.

    Mary did not know what to say. She looked to her left and right for help. Too scared to say out that she couldn't see clearly, Mary hoped that if she kept quiet Miss Lee would ask somebody else.

    Vimala guessed what was wrong, so she decided to take a risk. She jumped to her feet and said, "Excuse me, Miss Lee. Mary broke her glasses just before the lesson stared. I don't think she can see the clamp clearly." Then she sat down, praying(祈祷) that the ceiling would not fall on her.

    "Oh!" Miss Lee said, a little surprised. She had thought that Mary was refusing to answer. Now that she understood, her anger faded away. "Thank you, Vimala." she said.Then the turned to Mary and said, "Come and look at this."

    Mary left her chair and went to the front of the class.

    "It's a clamp." she said. "We can put it on a metal stand(支架) and use it to hold things in place."

    "Well, you got it right at last." Miss Lee said with a brief smile. "But you'd better not do any experiments until your glasses have been repaired. You can watch Vimala while she does the experiment."

    The storm clouds disappeared. The smile disappeared from Miss Lee's face and she continued with the lesson. Vimala winked at Mary who peered at her and smiled weakly.
