At that moment,Mr.Stone walked into the classroom with a ball of paper.With a gentle pat on Mike's shoulder,he guided him back to his seat.As Mr.Stone made his way to the platform,the room fell silent.Holding up the crumpled ball of paper, he began to smooth out its wrinkles."Each fold represented a scar of hurtful words. Even when we try to apologize,"Mr.Stone explained softly,"the wounds remain. Let us always speak with kindness and warmth."From that day on,Mike learned a valuable lesson:the importance of kindness and empathy 听力原文 (Text 1) M:What can I do for you,madam?

(Text 10) M:I'm here today to talk to you about working in computer gaming.I'd certainly recommend it as a profession.Not because it's popular,nor because it's a well-paid job-generally it isn't -but rather because it provides you with many opportunities to come up with new ideas and create exciting products. People get jobs in the computer games industry after receiving degrees in all sorts of subjects.Of course,if you have a course in computer,that will give you an advantage but it's certainly not necessary.I myself graduated in physics and colleagues of mine did history,engineering and English.The degree itself is less important than the love for the job.It goes without saying that everyone who joins the industry enjoys playing games.My parents always told me I spent far too much time on them,so much that they suggested I put it to good use and apply for work in the industry.My uncle sent me the name of someone he knew at a major games company,so I decide there first. I was lucky enough to get taken on.I didn't have the skills to become a technical programmers of course and started as a games tester.That taught me a huge amount and after six months I was able to do something more demanding.Now I'm given a position in the research depart.I'm quite satisfied with my job.
