He34 answered my questions — he was afraid of making mistakes.I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed 35 midterm, when Mary, a new teacher, came. She was young and pretty, and she was loved by every student 36 Donnie. It was her who made a big difference to Donnie later.One morning , they were doing math problems at the blackboard.

Donnie looked up with 44 in his eyes and a smile.The pencil became Donnie's prize.

Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the busiest time of the year.When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the busiest person of the family. Grandma was a kind old lady. She was good at cooking. All her relatives liked the food she cooked. During “Fair time”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there. Grandma was always happy to look after them.Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no longer “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Grandma. We did our best to make her life comfortable. I was at high school then. What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the da ily newspaper‟s crossword puzzle. However, she didn‟t look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.To attract（吸引）people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the fair. One day, when I came back from school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked much younger. She told me that her two nieces(侄女) would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they wanted to stay in my house again,” Grandma said happily. “They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week I‟ve had in years!”I sud denly realized that Grandma didn‟t want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful” and helpful.31.
