Reading comprehension.     The teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happened, my aunt. She was Myrtle C.
Manigault, the wife of my mother"s brother Bill. She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School
in Camden, New Jersey.
    During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential,
without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she listened
to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn"t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me
to the theatre not just children"s theatre but adult comedies and dramas-and her faith that I could appreciate
adult plays was not disappointed.
     My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at home,
but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor, and I"ll never forget the
joy of discovering Don Marquis"s Archy & Mehitabel through her.
     Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer
herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a "youth columnist". My
column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities-and it did-but it also
gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline
of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material
that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.
     Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her "favourite niece". Like a diamond, she has
reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path. 1. Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?A. She lent her some serious classics.
B. She cultivated her taste for music.
C. She discovered her talent for dancing.
D. She introduced her to adult plays. 2. What does Archy and Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. A book of great fun.
B. A writer of high fame.
C. A serious masterpiece.
D. A heartbreaking play. 3. Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to _____. A. develop her capabilities for writing
B. give her a chance to collect material
C. involve her in teenage social activities
D. offer her a series of writing jobs 4. We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who _____. A. trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined
B. gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potential
C. emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils
D. helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning

     There was a story many years ago of a school teacher-Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first
day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy
Stoddard. He didn"t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.
     Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother.
Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought
her a Christmas present too. It was his mother"s perfume (香水).
     Teddy said, "Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to." After the children left she cried
for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to
teach children.
     Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy"s mind seemed to come alive. The more she
encourages him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest
children in the class.
     Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his
class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole lift. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got
two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D. (医学博士).
     The story doesn"t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson"s ear, "Thank
you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a
difference."
     Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, "Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one
who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn"t know how to teach until I met you."

1. What did Mrs. Thompson do on the first day of school?

A. She made Teddy feel ashamed.
B. She asked the children to play with Teddy.
C. She changed Teddy"s seat to the front row.
D. She told the class something untrue about herself.

2. What did Mrs. Thompson find out about Teddy?

A. He often told lies.
B. He was good at math.
C. He needed motherly care.
D. He enjoyed playing with others.

3. In what way did Mrs. Thompson change?

A. She taught fewer school subjects.
B. She became stricter with her students.
C. She no longer liked her job as a teacher.
D. She cared more about educating students.

4. Why did Teddy thank Mrs. Thompson at his wedding?

     Adrian"s "Amazing Race" started early when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn"t hear a thing,
not even loud noises. In a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的), he learned sign language and
got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one
another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to
private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.
     Later on, Adrian"s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them
from doing so, saying regular school couldn"t take care of a special needs students. His parents were determined
to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work everyday because they wanted to prove that, given
the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace
(节奏) was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn"t
always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.
     The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top
high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal
to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06-being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.
     But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from
his mother." "If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results." She often said.
