With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.My mom asked where I was going. “Im leaving home,” I said.“Whats that youre carrying?” she asked.“Some clothes and food,” I replied.“If you want to run away, thats all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didnt have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off shoes, socks, underwear and all and shouted, “Can I go now?”“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, dont expect to come back.”I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches (树枝). A pile of dried-up brown needles (针状物) were beneath the tree, and you cant imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.“Its Billy! Let me in!”The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesnt live here anymore. He ran away from home.”Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! Im sorry.

So sensitive that even his hair was ticklish (怕痒的). You only had to touch his hair a little bit and he would start laughing. When this ticklish laughter started, no one could make him stop. Pete tried everything to control his ticklishness, but nothing worked. So he began to feel sad for being different.One day in the street, he met a special clown. The clown was very old and could hardly walk, but when he saw Pete in tears, he went to cheer him up. It didnt take long to make Pete laugh. Later Pete told him about his ticklish problem, and he asked the clown how such an old man could carry on being a clown.“I have no one to take my place,” said the clown. “I have a very serious job to do.” Pete looked at him, surprised. “Come, Ill show you,” said the clown. So the clown took Pete to many hospitals full of children who were sick. As soon as they saw the clown, their faces changed completely and lit up with a smile. Their short while spent with the clown changed everything for them. That day was even more special, because in every show Petes laughter would end up with the kids lying on the floor, dying with laughter. When the visit came to an end, the old clown said to Pete, “Now do you see why I cant retire (退休), even at my age?”That was how Pete became a clown, and took the special old mans place.

It happened several times, and she was frustrated that there wasnt better notification (通知) from the school.Reporter: Didnt your school already have a website with that information?Sarah: We had a website. But there wasnt much information on it, and nobody was in charge of keeping it up to date (包含最新信息的). I asked my teacher if our class could update the school calendar. That seemed pretty easy.Reporter: Was it?Sarah: Yeah, and it was kind of fun. So then we asked the principal (校长) if we could redo the whole site. He said okay, so we went to work.
