     After suffering through many months of unemployment  (失业). my wife and I moved this week from
Colorado to Ohio. where she was starting a new job.Not knowing anybody there. we were pretty
concerned about how we"d get our entire home unloaded (卸下) without killing ourselves.
     We made a phone call to hire (临时雇用) a couple of college students to help with all the heavy
lifting once we got there.But one neighbor after another stopped by to help us.What?Have_we_moved_
to_some_other_country?Maybe_we"ve_died_and_gone_to_heaven!
     Unloading actually became fun and joy because there were so many wonderful new friends to help
when we worked.The more people helped. the easier the work became.We were afraid the job might
take days for the two of us alone. but it was finished in a few hours.Many total strangers would either
walk by the sidewalk or drive by to ask us if we were moving in.Many were happy that this old house
that had sat empty for so long was coming to life again.We were invited to an outdoor meal yesterday by
neighbors on the same street.
     All the time. my brain was resting on this new sense of hope that people can be so friendly to strangers.Among all the conversation were lots of offers to help each other in all kinds of ways.It"s wonderful to live
in such a kind little town.I feel so grateful to be here. and wish the rest of the world could see how an
entire community can model  (做榜样) what it"s like to help each other.

     It was a terribly rainy wet winter day.While I was walking from the library after getting
my University applications (申请) for next year at the end of my lunch break,a man was
walking towards me with two huge boxes of brochures (小册子)．
     I thought,"What on earth is that man trying to do?Carry all those things?" Then all of a
sudden he dropped them all!It was a terrible mess with hundreds of brochures all over the
path in front of me!"Oh,no," I thought.The man sat down and started trying to pick all
of the brochures up.I couldn"t believe how many people walked on by without even
caring at all.
     I thought,"I"m not going to be one of those people who don"t care about this man.I"m
going to help him."So,even though it was the end of my lunch break from work and I would
be late if I stopped to help him,I didn"t mind.If I explained what happened,I was sure my
boss wouldn"t mind too much.So,I helped him pick them all up.Then I asked if he would
like a hand in carrying a box to where he went.He said yes gratefully.
     I carried one of the heavy boxes.The box I had to carry was very heavy-as I"m quite
a petite (娇小的) girl-but I didn"t complain.I just helped him with a big smile across my
face.We got there and he thanked me very much for helping him out.He also gave me one
of these lovely brochures about all the walks in and around the Bay of Plenty.
     What is a better way to spend my lunchtime than helping someone?Luckily,I wasn"t that
late back to work,so nobody minded at all!

阅读理解     On my first day of teaching,I found that I spent 85 per cent of my energy disciplining and 15 per cent
teaching knowledge.Of course I had some wonderful,serious students who would do well wherever they
were in life,but others worked hard to push themselves to the limit (限度)．At night I went home
exhausted,often near tears.What gave me the idea I wanted to teach?
      And then there was Matthew.
     After school Matthew would come into my classroom to dust erasers or empty the wastepaper basket.
     "Why do you come in to visit me?" I asked him one night.
     "Because at home no one listens to me," was his reply.Later I found out that there were eleven children in his family,with Matthew near the middle.
     One time when he came to see me,he said,"Miss Ausmus,the kids are saying that you and Mr D．like each other."
     "Matthew,Mr D．is a nice man and we both teach some of the same students.He is not my boyfriend,
and it"s not something the children should be talking about anyway."
     Another time,he said,"Will you wait for me so I can marry you when I grow up?"
     "Sorry,Matthew,but that won"t work," I answered in a gentle way.
     When my birthday arrived,his mother made me a cake.She delivered (递送) it after school,and as
Matthew was carrying it up the school steps,he tripped (绊倒),dropping the cake.I found him in tears.I
told him that bringing me a cake was very,very special,whether I was able to eat it or not.
     After my second year of teaching,I said "goodbye" to Matthew and his family.
     Years passed and in 1992,I went back to the little town to visit.Matthew"s parents still lived in the same house.His mother greeted me warmly."Janet,"she said,"Thanks for all the time you spent encouraging
Matthew.You taught him to believe in himself.You are the reason he went to college."
     I had made a difference in the life of a young boy.But I wonder...did Matthew ever know the difference he made in mine?
1. How did the author feel at the beginning of her teaching?A. Embarrassed.
B. Excited.
C. Frustrated.
D. Amused.2. By saying "others worked hard to push themselves to the limit",the author meant other students
________.A. were forced to challenge themselves
B. made efforts to challenge their classmates
C. needed to be encouraged to learn
D. did everything they could to do well3. Why did Matthew visit the author after school?A. Because he had less communication at home.
B. Because he wondered if she liked Mr D.
C. Because he decided to marry her when he grew up.
D. Because he was going to celebrate her birthday.4. Under the influence of the author,Matthew became________.A. honest
B. sincere
C. confident
D. hardworking5. What difference did Matthew make to the author?A. He encouraged her to win Mr D．"s love.
