She did not have a single day of absence last year; all the teachers knew this and encouraged her many times in front of others. Kids used to say, “She must have a strong body and thats why she never gets sick. What are we supposed to do when we constantly get sick?” They did not know that Yassi had Type Two Diabetes(糖尿病) and sometimes became unconscious. One early morning when her sugar level dropped and her mum wanted to take her to the doctor, she said, “The doctor doesnt know how to teach me geometry(几何学)! The most he will do is to give me an IV drip(输液) to make me feel better. By the way, Mr. Mirsadeghi had mentioned that people with the highest score in the year of their university entrance examination only had one day of absence; I dont want to use my only day off for something stupid!” When teachers used to ask Yassi, “Do you feel bad when you get a low grade?” Yassi would reply, “Is it possible to be happy when a person works hard and does not get a good result? At these times I tell myself, in the future when I open the biggest factory in Iran, if Im going to fall short with handling such minor issues, how am I supposed to deal with all the other problems such as consumer market rejection of my products?! How can I solve the production difficulties of this product?” Yassi is a living example of a person with a vision for a grand future, who does not allow minor problems of today to deter her from achieving her dreams. On a regular day when I met with Yassi, I noticed she was not like her usual self as she looked troubled. So I asked her “Has something happened?” to which she replied “No”, but I said, “I think something has definitely happened.” Yassi then said, “I have a small personal problem that will soon be resolved.” After insisting for some time to find out her problem, she only then told me that her father was unconscious. Just before tears rushed to her eyes as she went out of the room, I felt that I lost some credibility(信誉) as a considerate teacher. Yassi returned to the room after freshening up, clearing her throat and then said in a strange manner, “Please dont be concerned, Mr Mirsadeghi, if it is meant to be, he will remain in my life and I will make him proud with my grades. And should it be Gods will to take him, then I have to work twice as hard to achieve the highest grades and shine brighter than those of my age!”1. Yassi refused to go to the doctor because _.

Good Education Means a Bright FutureC Have you ever lied to your parents that you came back late from school because you stayed to finish some homework when actually you went to play computer games or have fun with your friends? If students in Taiyuan Yuying High School in Shanxi Province lied in the past, they will not be able to do so in the future.A smart card, Electronic Identity Card, will be introduced this week at the school. The card, which contains a tiny chip, includes a students name, photo and their student number on the face of the card. With this ID, parents will know exactly when their kids arrive and leave the school via (通过) a mobile phone message or an email. “Theres a card reader equipped in each classroom. The system will send the information to students parents if they have applied for this service,” explained Kang Jinfeng, a technician in the school. The school hopes the card will make the students safer and better organized. “The environment around the campus has become busier with lots of things to distract students. Some students go to the Internet cafes nearby instead of going home immediately after school. Also, many parents worry about their childrens safety on the way home as there have been lots of student accidents recently,” said Fu Hongyan, headmaster of the school. Parents and students are eager to see how the new smart card works, for the school is the first one in the province to start the program. “Although I hope my child can manage his time well, this card will help me know more about him,” said Wang Liping, a Senior 3 students mother. Apart from information on attendance , parents will also be informed of their childrens performance, homework comments and examination results. Although parents welcome the move, some students think it will affect their freedom and privacy. “It seems that I am being watched over everywhere and every second. I used to play basketball after school, but now I may have to explain to my parents every day why I get home late. I want to be more independent to deal with my own things,” said Liu Jida, a Senior 3 student. “I would rather that my parents did not know my bad exam results, but the card will tell them everything about my studies,” complained Zhang Xu, a 17-year-old boy.1.
