Pollys son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified

26、as the educationally handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room.

31、 the day when he died. He called me to say, Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. You have to go to work now. Bye. That day, he gave me something to treasure forever. ”If there is any purpose at all for Jims death, maybe it is to make others appreciate life more and to tell people, especially family members, that they should take the time to let each other know just how much they care. You may never have another chance. Do it today!56. Who was Jim?A. A school boy.
