举一反三
Mr. Brown worked in a factory of a small town. He had been there for twenty years before one day he was sent to the capital for important business. He was quite excited because he had never been there before. Before he set off, he asked his wife and three daughters if they wanted him to buy something for them in London. Mrs. Brown began to think it over and then she said she wished her husband would be able to buy a nice umbrella for her, and so did their three daughters. As he was afraid he would forget it, he drew an umbrella on his hand. To his regret, he lost it at the station.
On the train Mr. Brown sat opposite to an old woman. The woman’s umbrella was so nice that he carefully looked at it and said to himself not to forget to buy a few umbrellas like it. When the train arrived at the station in London, he said good-bye to the old woman, took his bag and her umbrella and was going to get off.
“Wait a minute, sir,” shouted the old woman. “That’s my umbrella!”
Now Mr. Brown noticed that he had taken her umbrella. His face turned red at once and said in a hurry,“Oh, I’m very sorry, Madam! I didn’t mean it!”

Wings of Angel
I used to hate myself because I wasn"t "normal". Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not 36 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder(脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much 37 than others. I hated going to school and I hated others 38 at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing 39 and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the 40 and seeing an ugly hunchback(驼背).
My friends found me 41 because I didn"t let other get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life 42 Angela appeared.

I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face. "What are you looking at?" you asked. "Ants." "What are they doing?" "No 44 ." "I bet they"re playing games and make friends. Don"t you think so?" That was how our 45 started and it didn"t stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my little niche(处境)—until it was sunset. Then suddenly, you saw my 46 . She just stared. My heart 47 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would 48 me now. She stood up, pointed at my back and said, "I know 49 your back is hunched." I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be 50 . I begged in my heart for her to 51 , but she just kept on going. "I know what you"ve got there. Do you?" "No," I answered 52 . She bent and whispered in my ears. "Your back is bunched because you"ve got a pair of wings from the angels."I was 53 . I looked into her eyes and her 54 touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to 55 myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind_hearted friend.

The friendship between us never fades. Mary Allen was my best friend—like a sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding, and so on.
When I was 13, my family moved. Mary and I 36 in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special 37 — like my wedding and Mary’s. Soon we were 38 with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less. One day a card that I sent came back, 39 “Address Unknown.” I had no idea how to 40 Mary.
Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to 41 stories of my children and then grandchildren. I need to share my 42 when my brother and then my mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could 43 .
One day I was reading a newspaper 44 I notice a picture of a young woman who looked a lot like Mary and whose last name was Wagman— Mary’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, 45 I wrote to her anyway.
She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Mary Allen Wagman is my mother”. Minutes later I heard a voice that I 46 at once, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and asked about each other’s 47 .

Some teachers are unforgettable. They lead by example and never lose their smile. They change lives. Eileen Madden is one of them. Her students must think she was born with an eraser and a piece of chalk in her hand.
“It’s a joy to get up early every morning to be the first one here,” say the 55-year-old Holy Ghost School third grade teacher. Madden arrives shortly after 6 am to prepare her classroom and work on the school breakfast program.
“My family all went to St. Teresa’s School,” she says. “I always said, ‘One day, I’m going to come back and get one of those big desks.’”
With a watchful eye always on the lookout for “one of those big desks”, Madden returned to St. Teresa after graduating from college and taught second grade at the Olneyville neighborhood elementary school until it was burnt in a fire in 1990 and had to be closed. Madden then went to Holy Ghost School where she started as a second-grade teacher and then moved up one grade level.
“I take care of setting up and serving breakfast,” she says. “In winter it is still dark when I arrive here.” Madden praises Holy Ghost School Principal Carol Soltys and the school’s workers for their continued support. “It’s a family,” she said.
Her class is small this year with 15 students, including some from the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Haiti, Guatemala, Nigeria and Ghana. Madden admits that she’s encouraged by her former students, now grown-ups, who want their own children to enjoy a similar experience in a safe, good environment. “They tell others, ‘I send my child to Eileen Madden’s School, ’” she adds.
小题1:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 suggest?| A．Eileen Madden was very smart as a child. | | B．Eileen Madden is a very good teacher. | | C．Eileen Madden has done a lot for her students | | D．Eileen Madden always has an eraser in her hand. |
小题2:We can learn from paragraph 2 that Eileen Madden __________.| A．is in her late fifties now. | | B．always teaches Grade 3 | | C．often arrives at school very early. | | D．cooks breakfast for all her students by herself. |
小题3:What does Eileen Madden most probably think of the workers of Holy Ghost School?| A．Lazy but kind | | B．Careful but helpless | | C．Hard to get along with | | D．Kind and helpful. |
小题4:The last paragraph suggests that ______________.| A．Eileen Madden often gives lessons to small classes. | | B．Eileen Madden is remembered by all her former students. | | C．Eileen Madden thinks her former students think too highly of her. | | D．Eileen Madden’s former students are very happy to let her teach their children. |
小题5:What is implied in the passage?| A．Holy Ghost School is a very small school. | | B．St. Teresa’s School will be open again soon. | | C．Eileen Madden decided to be a teacher when she was young. | | D．Eileen Madden was very happy to leave St. Teresa’s School. |
