阅读理解。     When I started teaching at school, I was sure I would change the world and touch children who needed love.
     Although my students seemed to respond pretty well to my teaching, there was a small group of girls
who became more and more hostile (敌对的) towards me.
     One day a fight happened in my classroom. Attempting to end it, I stepped in (居中调停) to face one of these hostile young women, who started hitting me in the face. Two boys jumped up to control the girl,
but the damage was done.
     While the girl was suspended (暂时停学) for a few days, I was determined that she would not return
to my classroom. But I also prayed. I wanted to see all the students right there in my daily work at school.
     On the top of my daily lesson-plan book, I wrote this statement, "To see all the children in my
classroom is always beautiful." With this view I could expect to heal any anger towards the girl in my heart.
     After her suspension, she returned to my classroom. The student"s young mother was trying to raise six children while her husband was away in the war. The mother and I agreed to work together to help her
oldest daughter.
     There were no more incidents of anger the rest of the year. In fact, in the seven years I remained at that school, I taught all six of this family"s children. When the youngest was in my class, the mother told me,
"Our family loves you. Every year one of my kids says, "I hope I"m in her class!""
     The standard of seeing each of my students as a perfect one was the best teaching tool I had, and led to success.1. At the beginning of teaching, the author _____.A. was full of confidence in herself
B. doubted if she could be a good teacher
C. was sure to win love from her students
D. decided to change her students" life2. What happened in the author"s class one day?A. A girl fought with two boys.

完形填空。     I grew up poor, living with my wonderful mother. We had little money but plenty of love and attention.
I was   1   and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still   2   a dream.
My dream was to be a sportsman.   3   I was sixteen, I had started playing baseball. I could throw a
ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything that moved on the football field.  I was also   4  : my
high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but taught me 5  to believe in myself.
He   6   me the difference between having a dream and realizing the dream. One particular   7   with Coach
Jarvis changed my life forever.
     It was the summer between my junior and senior years, and a friend recommended (推荐) me for a
summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket-money for a new bike and new clothes, and
the   8   of savings for a house for my mother. Then I realized I would have to   9 summer baseball to deal
with the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn"t be playing.
     When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as   10   as I expected him to be.  "You have your whole life to
work," he said.  "Your playing days are limited. You can"t   11   to waste them." I stood before him with
my head hanging, trying to think of the   12   that would explain   13   him why my dream of buying my
mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his   14   in me.
     "How much are you going to make at this job, son?" he asked. "Three twenty-five an hour," I replied.
"Well," he asked, "is $3.25 an hour the   15   of a dream?"
     That simple question made it   16   to me the difference between   17   something right now and
following a dream. I   18   myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was  19   by the Pittsburgh
Pirates to play baseball, and was   20   a $20,000 contract. In 2000, I bought my mother the house of my
dream!

     When my family moved to America from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our
luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should
always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
     I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a
middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had
made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her
face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive (敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description "old". I
then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they
understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer
angry.
     In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or
eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people
always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
     However, in the United States, people think "growing old" is a problem since "old" shows that a
person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves
away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused
them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn"t want to hear.
     After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don"t respect them any
more; I still respect them, but now I don"t show my feelings through words.

1. Jack brought the couple their food very fast because .

A. the manager asked him to do so
B. he respected the elderly
C. the couple wanted him to do so
D. he wanted more pay

2. When Jack called the couple "elderly", they became .

A. nervous
B. satisfied
C. unhappy
D. excited

3. In Jack"s hometown, .

A. people dislike being called "old"
B. people are proud of being old
C. many people reach the age of seventy or eighty
D. the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants

4. After this experience, Jack .

A. lost his job in the restaurant
B. made friends with the couple
C. no longer respected the elderly
D. changed his way with older people

5. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.
B. Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.
C. The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple.
D. From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.

     After we finished thirteen miles of hiking, we were tired and our muscles ached as we made our way
back to New England. The car ride to the airport followed by a two-hour flight left our legs more worse
condition than they were when we first came off the mountain we just climbed.
    When we heard that two seats in first class on our next flight were available for a bit higher price, we
jumped at the opportunity. Our spirits lifted immediately. After all, flying first class was a new experience
for us, and we would end our adventure in comfort and style.
     As we boarded the plane, we noticed that the stewardess(空姐) was working non-stop to ensure the
comfort of the first class passengers. She could not walk by a seat without receiving an order. How much
she must love her job! She smiled kindly at each one while attending to their needs.
     As the stewardess walked by our seats near the end of the flight, I looked at her and said, "Thank
you and I hope you have a great night." She stopped, bent down, looked at me and said, "Excuse me." I
repeated my words and she smiled in a rather funny way, almost as if I had asked her a question that she
did not know how to answer.
     After a few moments she returned to our seats. "I can tell you work with the public," she said. "Why
do you think so?" I asked. She answered very quietly, "Because you are the only passenger here to say
something nice to me tonight and I really appreciate your kindness."
     The sense of belonging to the elite(精英) group of people in first class disappeared as we heard her
words. Our first class seats offered us more than a comfortable ride. We were reminded that without
kindness, we would be flying in no class.

1. Where did the writer ever go hiking?

2. Why did they choose to take a first class flight?

B. Because they wanted to go back as soon as possible
C. Because the tickets were cheaper
D. Because they wanted to enjoy the first class service.

3. After boarding the plane, the writer felt_______.

A. proud
B. uncomfortable
C. nervous
D. disappointed

4.When the stewardess first heard what the writer said, she_________.

A. didn"t understand the writer
B. knew what work the writer did
C. didn"t believe her ears
