Other stops include Suzhou with its canals, gardens and world-renowned silk production center and Xi'an, considered the greatest city in the world 2000 years ago, and its Bth wonder of the world —the army of terracotta warriors protecting the first Chinese emperor.

Students report on respect

Students in Mr. Nafziger’s fifth grade class at Woodview Elementary School have been discussing CPR—not cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but “Children Practicing Respect.” Students learned that there are seven areas in which persons can show respect: authority, country, yourself, property, others, teachers and parents. Students chose three of the areas to write about, with the following short essays selected for publication. By Tara Hepler—Children show respect in many different ways. I am going to tell three of the ways you can show respect to others, parents and teachers. When you're respecting others, you’re not putting people down. You’re not laughing at them. When you laugh at them and put them down, it hurts their feelings. If you think about it, you don't like it when people hurt your feelings, so don't hurt theirs. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all. One way of showing respect to your parents is by doing what they told you to do. When your parents ask you to do something, you should do it, even if you don’t want to. Sometimes when they ask you to do something, you say “I will,” but then you never do. Take it from me. when you don:t do something, they tell you to, you better watch out! When you are respecting your teacher, you aren’t talking when they are. You’re working when they tell you to and keeping quiet. When they say you are going to have

homework, you shouldn't complain (out loud). You need to pay attention and cooperate. Horse play only gets you in trouble and you can’t learn if you’re not cooperating and listening. These are just three examples of how to show respect to other people. I know there are more. If we would all practice these ways, the world would definitely be a more awesome place to live. We can make a difference if we try. By Brittany Weaver—Children show respect in many different ways. Three of these areas would be teachers, country and parents. One way you could show respect to your teacher would be to not talk when your teacher is talking. Another way is to turn your papers in on time, and keep your room nice and tidy. If you would like to show respect to your country, you could do these things. You could pick up trash along the road. You could also not pollute the air so much by riding your bike up town to get groceries, if you live in town. A couple of different ways that you can respect your parents are, don’t mouth back to them. Clean your room and do your chores when you are told. You can also respect your parents by making or buying them a present on their birthdays. Even give them a hug or kiss, they will like that, too. Those are a couple of different ways that you can respect the people or things around you. By Brenan Moore —Children show respect in many different ways. Three of these would be par-
