  The whole morning we just checked our own things. We were looking for items to give away. We thought of blankets, food and clothing. Our aim was not to find things we no longer wanted, but things we use every day and would be useful to others.
We made up boxes with the things and added some small toys. Inside the boxes a simple letter was placed, reading:
“Please take these items and know that your life is important. Times are difficult but they will pass. We share what we have, believing it will matter. Use the blanket to stay warm. Be safe and know that the human spirit can overcome anything. Don’t hold your head down. Someday please do the same when you can. How you do it and when, your heart will tell you.
This kind act was not because the phone rang or for any reason. It was simply because it was the right time to do. We have often seen homeless people at the park where we left the belongings. The city would say that it isn’t a problem but I see the lives walking to and from it.
I noticed that my wife had put her favorite green coat into one of the boxes. I asked if she was sure about it and she simply replied that it had a hood (风帽). She liked the coat but knew the hood could shelter (遮挡)someone from the rain.
We don’t know where these gifts of compassion(同情)will go. We never go back and see what happens. It’s unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all that counts. On the way my wife started to cry. When I asked why, she said because some things felt so right.

Dear Dad,
I was very upset when I received your letter. I knew you  36 not like my results, but I didn’t realize you and Mum were so  37 with me. This has made me  38 very carefully about myself, and now I  39  how silly I have been.
My poor  40 have come from my own  41 . Of course, I want to do my best. I want you and Mum to be proud  42  me, but somehow when I get to school I just can’t keep my   43  on the subject and I stop  44  the teacher. So many other things seem so much more  45 , but I know that I must not  46 the chance you and Mum have given me. If I don’t work very hard 47  the next few months, I am going to get  48 results. So I am going to study hard this summer. And I will show Mum anything  49 I can’t understand so that she can give me help.
I  50 you will allow me to play some basketball. I think I need some exercise,   51 _ I will control the time I   52 on it properly.
If you want me to stop meeting Cindy, I will — but there is  53 serious. We are just good friends, and she often helps me  54 my schoolwork.
Dad, I am really sorry I have made you angry. I’m going to try my best to  55 my study. I promise that I will make you proud of me soon.
Yours,
Jimmy

Dear Editor,
I’m a Senior I student in a middle school. This term, my favorite teacher, Miss Mao, no longer teaches us. I want to see her, but I’m afraid that she no longer likes me and I don’t want to trouble her. I really miss her. What should I do?
Tian Yan
Dear Tian Yan,
It’s bad luck that you have lost your favorite teacher, But if she is still in your school , nothing can stop you going to see her. When she isn’t busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her she was your favorite teacher------ everyone is happy to know that they are liked!
If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always come and go in their lives. We can’t rely on them to be with us all the time.
You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best qualities.
You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new teacher a chance.In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.
Finally, you can not completely rely on other people to get you through your studies , or even your life.
Editor

The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic(赞同的) audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, “High school English teachers are not doing their jobs.” He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.
My topic is not standards nor its decline(降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.
  My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.
  The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.
Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived(察觉) as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar(特有的) to today’s         young people, it naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.
小题1: The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that _____.
A.the language of the younger generation is usually inferior(差的) to that of the older
generation
B.the students had a poor command of English because they didn’t work hard enough
C.he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen
years
D.English teachers should be held responsible for the students’ poor command of English
小题2: In the author’s opinion, the speaker ______.
A.gave a correct judgment of the English level of the students
B.had exaggerated(夸大) the language problems of the students
C.was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobs
D.could think and speak intelligently
小题3:The author’s attitude towards the speaker’s remarks is ______.
A.neutral B.positive C.critical D.compromising
小题4:It can be concluded from the passage that ______.
A.it is justifiable(有理由的) to include English as a school subject
B.the author disagrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 level
C.English language teaching is by no means an easy job
D.language improvement needs time and effort
小题5:In the passage the author argues that ______.
A.it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the students
B.young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their
jobs properly
C.to eliminate(消除) language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and ears
D.to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generations

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few   41 .On their faces was confidence(信心).This was their   42  exam—then they would graduate and begin to work.
Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they   43 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt 44 and able to take control(控制)of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n)   45 task, as the professor had said they could bring  46 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not  47 each other during the test.
  48 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles  49 on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.
Three hours had passed 50 the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the  51 faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?”   52 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hand.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished  53 .” But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I   54 ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are 55 many things about the   56 you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common(普遍)in everyday  57 .” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all  58 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just  59 .”
The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the  60 he taught.
