How can I become a better person? This question has been in my head for long. As students, we spend most of our time studying. I know learning at school, of course, makes us better persons, but I always dream of doing more.
Last year,I got to know a group of autistic ( 患自闭症的) children. We called them "the Snails (蜗牛)".It was hard to communicate with them at first, because they wouldn't like to. After a two﹣week training, I became more skilled. I got closer to them day by day. To my surprise, I found that every one of "the Snails" had his or her own talent. And their colorful pictures on the wall attracted my special attention, though it was difficult to tell what they were trying to express.
Moved by their pictures, I decided to hold a charity (慈善) sale. We walked on the busy street, selling their creative pictures. We sold 60 pictures that day. People thought their pictures were full of imagination.
Back to the question about how to become a better person, I think I am lucky enough to get my own answer.

(2)How many pictures did they sell that day?
(3)What is the writer's answer to the question "how to become a better person" ?

Hi, there! I'm here to help with any of your problems, whether at school or at home. |

@ Dr. Wang What should say to my little brother? |
My problem is terrible. My mum gave us a new baby a couple of years ago. We were really happy then, but this lovely baby has grown up! He seems to have too much energy, and never stops running or shouting. The door doesn't help at all﹣he'll be knocking at it for ages. I can't study at home. I really can't stand this, but what should I say to four﹣year﹣old boy? And my parents are around him all the time. They seem to forget everything about me. How I miss those sweet old days when we could just sit in the sofa! Can you help me out? |

@ Sophia |
That's a common complaint. I know how awful it is when someone keeps knocking at the door, but doesn't that mean the little one wants to stay with you? Just as you want to have your parents around, he needs your attention! If this doesn't make you feel better, ask your parents for some help. Just have a talk with your parents. Ask them to calm( ) our little brother down or take him out when you are doing your homework. And tell them that you also need their attention! Family life might not always be as sweet as those old days. Sometimes we have to wait until what troubles us today becomes part of those sweet old days. |

In Jinzhong, Shanxi Province, there is a group of people who are busy drawing maps around. They are not workers on geography, but dispatchers(调度员) on Emergency(急救) Center of the city.
Since 2007, the dispatchers in the center have been drawing maps of the local areas.
"A dispatcher's job is counted in seconds," says Liang Ruimei, a dispatcher in the center. She has been working in the center since it started in 2007. "We must answer the phone in 3 seconds, get clear information about the patient in 60 seconds and dispatch(调度) emergency medical workers in 3 minutes at most. If we save one second, the patient may have a better chance to live."
Although nowadays the center has electronic maps, the dispatchers still walk through the streets to draw maps by hand.
After many years' hard work, the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind. They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building. Sometimes the caller can't tell clearly where he is, but it doesn't matter. As long as he describes the buildings around, the dispatcher can dispatch emergency medical workers to him.
"We are trying to be quicker than Death," says Liang.
(1)Is Liang Ruimei a dispatcher in Emergency Center of Jinzhong?
(2)When did Emergency Center of Jinzhong start?
(3)To be quicker than Death, what do the dispatchers in Emergency Center of Jinzhong do?

What's more, Li Ming would like to read with his family. There is a reading time from 8: 00 to 9: 00 each Friday evening at home. Everyone reads and shares what they learn from the books. One Friday evening. Grandma took out an old paper book and said to her grandson, "Lei Lei, this is the first book your grandpa gave me. There is his name on the front page. Whenever I read it, I can get something new from his notes. And I can still remember the happy life we lived together." Li Lei said, "But I enjoy reading e﹣books. E﹣books need no paper. Many forests will be saved." Grandma advised. "Don't read for a long time, or your eyes will get sore."
Different people have different ideas about e﹣books and paper books. No one knows whether e﹣books can replace(代替) paper books or not. Somehow, books are our friends. No matter which kind of books you choose to read, you can learn more about the world through them.
