Bill was a boy of 15. His parents went gambling (赌博) all day and all night. Nobody cared about him. He couldn’t pass the exams. So his teachers didn’t like him, neither did his classmates play with him.

Bill often slept in class because his heart was not in school. He almost gave himself up.

One day, Miss Jones, a new teacher, came to Bill’s class. She was a loving and beautiful woman . Bill was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher.

It was Miss Jones’ class. She was asking a question. “I’d like the smartest boy to answer my question.” Then she said loudly, “Bill, please!”

Bill was surprised. And he stood up without a word.

“Just try it! I believe you can!”

After school, Miss Jones had a long talk with Bill. She told him that she cared about him and believed in him.

Bill thought a lot that evening. From then on he arrived at school on time every day. Miss Jones helped him with his homework in the afternoon. She even cooked delicious food for him. She told Bill, “Nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it.”

Later, Miss Jones gave them another exam. Bill did it with all his heart. He was very amazed to find that he had passed the exam. Now Bill discovered that not only could he learn, but also he could do it well. A change took place in Bill’s heart.

You see that one teacher saved one boy. It’s really simple.

Because of the COVID-19, many zoos are having hard times. Luckily, there are new ways for them to raise (募集) money, such as having animal shows online, selling cultural products (文化产品), making animal stars and adopting animals online (云认养).

For Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo, online adoption is one of the ways to get help to get through hard times. People from all over the world can pay to adopt their favourite animals. The zoo will use the money to buy food for its animals and pay for their medical care. If someone adopts an animal, they can get a certificate (证书) and learn about the animal’s daily life online. They can go to the zoo for free, have the chance to feed the animal and clean its living space.

Animals like elephants, golden monkeys, koalas and tigers are all on the adoption list. Each animal has its own introduction. You can see its photo and know about its age and living habits.

Online adoption makes people think about how a zoo works. Modern zoos are no longer places for visitors to see animals but places to teach people how to protect (保护) animals.
