It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy in my class who came from a non – English speaking home, He was very quiet and shy, I wasn’t sure how much he understood during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play, If I tried to talk to him , he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me.
After a day or two of this, I decided to seek the help from one of my outgoing and friendly little girls, I called her over and she ran to me , ready to help.
I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her, I asked her if she would try to get him to play, and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communication with him , I explained she could do that , she could try this idea, she could try that idea, “Don’t worry, I speak kid” And she ran off.
I stood there all alone, silently watching her, It took less than a minute for the two new friends to urn off, hand in hand , happily joining a game of tag （捉人游戏）taking place all over the gym.
I often think of that small moment, about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kid --- big kid, little kid and middle kid , I know my focus must be on teaching students how to think , how to approach problems ,and how to figure out solutions and teaching them never to let the opportunity away , We must be ready to learn from our students because those “teachable moments ”during the school days are for us , the teachers, as well as our kids.

举一反三
When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want ---an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when your’re wrong---even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong also. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: consider friendship an honour and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.

Adventure is in my blood. And I had been considering how I was going to celebrate my high school graduation. I didn’t just want a small in the backyard. I started thinking about doing a solo somewhere out of the ordinary. I took out and drew the 1,500-mile route along which I would be from the northernmost point in Norway to the southernmost section of Sweden. When I my plans with my dad, he as I thought he would. Because I get my adventurous from him, he was all for it.
I had only been away from my three days now, but there was an inner going on inside of me. Part of me was homesick and doubting whether I could make it. The other part of me was ready to to myself and my family that I could do it by myself.
On the road, I met another who was quite a bit older than I was. He had started his journey by bike at the southern part of Norway and had just finished. I could tell he had a great sense of . It encouraged me not to .
As I listened to my artists on my MP4 player, I pedaled (踩踏板) with my feet. There was around me for miles. , that wasn’t entirely true. There were mosquitoes--- millions of them. My arms were so dotted with that they looked like a topographical map (地形图). But, however it would be, nothing could stop my advance towards the destination. As you know, adventure is in my blood.

I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading(在...上面走) water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start — here’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal — that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck — of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding.
小题1:The author decided to write a novel ______ .| A．to finish the writing course | B．to realize her own dream | | C．to satisfy readers’ wish | D．to earn more money |
小题2:How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?| A．Disturbed. | B．Ashamed. | C．Confident. | D．Uncertain. |
小题3:What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?| A．It pays off to stick to one’s goal. | | B．Hard work can lead to success. | | C．She feels like being unexpectedly lucky. | | D．There is no end in sight when starting to do something. |
