It was her laughing that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn"t all that funny.
Walking over to the offender (someone that does something wrong), I asked for the 1 . Frozen, she
refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet 2 between teacher and student.
When she finally 3 it over she whispered, "Okay, but I didn"t draw it."
It was a hand-drawn 4 of me, teeth blackened and the words "I"m stupid" coming out of my mouth.
I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind, 5 , was working angrily as I struggled not to 6 . I figured
I knew the two students who were most likely to draw the picture. It would do them some 7 to teach them
a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself 8 .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told
them how 9 this was for me. I told them there must be a reason 10 and now was their chance to write
down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffled(抽鼻子) in the back of the
classroom.
As I 11 the notes later, many of them said something like, "I"ve got nothing against you," or "I"m sorry
you were hurt." A number of them said,"You give us too much homework." Some kids said,"We"re 12 of
you." But two notes, from the girls who I 13 were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too 14 , too
strict…
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of 15 my students, I had begun
commanding them to 16 . Where I thought I was driving them to success I was 17 driving them away.
I had some apologizing to do. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a
card. The one 18 by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for

This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the

| 阅读理解。 | I was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that
my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was
in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours
passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work,
and he didn"t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, "Let me
wait, will you? Who do you think you are?"
At that time I didn"t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized
the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, "Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone!
Bad telephone!" And she swept it into the wastebasket.
I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth?
She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, "Now hear this! All objects in this room-
if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!"
Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly, "Honey, you just have to learn how to take control." With
that, she left the room.
After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something
in my mood (情绪) had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Her antics
helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able

D. anxious | | 阅读理解。 | It was around 9 pm. Before heading to dinner in Jayanagar T Block, I was told by my wife that the
rickshaw (人力车) fare would be 40 rupees. Anyhow I had 150 rupees in my pocket. My wife said that if
the drivers of rickshaws see out-of-town travelers, they"ll scam (欺诈) them one way or another.
At a crowded stop, a young girl extended her hand through the iron bars on the side of our rickshaw to
ask for some money. After we refused, or rickshaw driver started his remarks on giving.
"Giving is good. Every human should give. But we should know how to give." The rickshaw driver
continued,"Most of these kids are trained by some guy who keeps all the money. It"s run like a business. All
of us should give, but this is just not the right place to give."
He talked a bit more before we arrived. I asked about the fare."39 rupees," he said.
Now, most people who get cheated end up saying,"Well, you know, I don"t mind paying extra if it is a
good guy but I refuse to be cheated." I gave him 40 rupees, and he gave me a 1 rupee coin in return (Most
folks would just round up). So I put the coin in my wallet, and took out a 100 rupee note.
"Can you do me a favor?""Of course, sir," he replied politely."We were talking about art of giving. You
seem to know how and where to give. Can you put the 100 rupees to good use somewhere?"
"Give me your address and I"ll make sure I get a receipt (收据) of where I gave," He replied without
hesitation. I didn"t understand him at first. Then I smiled and told him,"I trust you."
So on the way back, instead of taking a bus to my place, I walked for the whole distance since I didn"t
have enough money. It was almost 1 a.m and I had to wake up at 6 a.m the next day. But I still walked. | | 1. Why did the author"s wife tell him the rickshaw fare? | A. To remind him to go by rickshaw.

and began her explanation.
"The big hooves are to keep us from sinking into the sand."
"Oh! So why do we have long eyelashes (睫毛)?"
"It"s to protect our eyes from the sand."
