It was her giggling(咯咯的笑)that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn’t all that funny.
  Walking over to the offender, I asked for the    . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet     between teacher and student. When she finally    it over, she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it.”
  It was a hand-drawn    of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.
   I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind,      , was working angrily as I struggled not to      . I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture. It would do them some    to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
  Thankfully, I was able to keep myself    .
  When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how    this was for me. I told them there must be a reason    and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffed in the back of the classroom.
   As I    the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you.” or “I’m sorry you were hurt.” Some kids said, “We’re    of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I    were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too    , too strict…
  Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of    my students, I had begun commanding them to    . Where I thought I was driving them to success, I was       driving them away.
  I had some apologies to make. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one    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    .

举一反三
This place was darker than I expected, and, in spite of the rain, dirtier. Used to the life of rural Puerto Rico(波多黎各), I had to adjust to the similarly arranged, aggressive two-dimensionality of New York. Everywhere I looked, my eyes met gray and brown straight-edged buildings with sharp corners and deep shadows. Every few blocks there was a cement(水泥) playground surrounded by chain-link fence.
A girl came out of the building next door, a jump rope in her hand, and she hopped over. “Are you Hispanic?” she asked. “No, I’m Puerto Rican.” “Same thing. Puerto Rican, Hispanic. That’s what we are here.” She skipped a tight circle, stopped abruptly, and shoved the rope in my direction. “Want a turn?”
“Sure.” I hopped on one leg, then the other. “So, if you’re Puerto Rican, they call you Hispanic?”
“Yeah. Anybody who speaks Spanish.”
I jumped a circle, as she had done, but faster. “You mean, if you speak Spanish, you’re Hispanic?”
“Well, yeah. No . . . I mean your parents have to be Puerto Rican or Cuban or something.”
“Okay, your parents are Cuban, let’s say, and you’re born here, but you don’t speak Spanish. Are you Hispanic?”
“I guess so,” she finally said. “It has to do with being from a Spanish country. I mean, you or your parents, like, even if you don’t speak Spanish, you’re Hispanic, you know?” She looked at me uncertainly. But I didn’t know. I’d always been Puerto Rican, and it hadn’t occurred to me that in New York I’d be someone else.
Later, I asked. “Are we Hispanics, Mami?” “Yes, because we speak Spanish.” “But a girl said you don’t have to speak the language to be Hispanic.” “What girl? Where did you meet a girl?” “Outside. She lives in the next building.” “Who said you could go out to the sidewalk? This isn"t Puerto Rico. Something could happen to you.”
I listened to Mami’s lecture with depressed eyes and the necessary respect. But inside, I quaked. Two days in New York, and I’d already become someone else. It wasn’t hard to imagine that greater dangers lay ahead.

A time capsule buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs 30 years ago has been discovered after its location was long forgotten.In 1983, the young tech innovator was attending a conference in Aspen when he and the group decided to bury as a stunt during a design convention.
The tube that was filled with an eclectic collection of goods- ranging from the then-new apple mouse to a six-pack of beer for the people who discovered the time capsule- was meant to be dug up 20 years later.
There was a problem with that plan, however, as everyone involved forgot where it was buried.
The final discovery happened at the hands of the crew from the National Geographic Channel`s reality show called Diggers.The discovery was well documented and is surely going to be featured on an upcoming episode, and even the experts had problems finding this particular treasure.
CNET reports that in spite of their preparations and clear idea of where the 13-foot-long tube was, it still took them two hours to dig it up using heavy machinery.
To anyone removed from the tech industry, the accomplishment in finding the tube appears to be the biggest accomplishment. To others, the most interesting object would likely be the `Lisa` mouse placed in the tube by the hands of a then-28-year-old Jobs.The Lisa Mouse, which Jobs named after his daughter, was one of the first commercial computer mice soled publicly, making it a rarity at the time.
The Aspen Historical Society is going to help the show creators catalogue the tube`s contents- but no word yet whether or not the Diggers cracked open one of the six bottles of Boddington`s Ale that was left inside for the people who found the tube.
小题1:Who found the time capsule buried by Steve Jobs?
A.Apple founder Steve Jobs himself.
B.the crew from the National Geographic Channel`s reality show called Diggers.
C.Steve Jobs" friends.
D.Steve Jobs’ daughter.
小题2:Which is the best title of the passage ?
A.A time capsule buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs.
B.Steve Jobs" plan.
C.Steve Jobs" time capsule is uncovered.
D.The tube by Steve Jobs.
小题3:How old is Steve Jobs now?
A.58 years old .
B.20 years old.
C.30 years old.
D.48 years old.

On arrival in the downtown El Paso, I came across an old man, a bum(流浪汉) on the street corner. He     me and asked if I was running away from home. I     him, “Not exactly, sir.” The old man wanted me to follow him to see     great. We walked a couple of blocks until we came upon the downtown El Paso Public    .
He asked me to sit down while he was looking for something     between the shelves. A few moments    , he returned with a couple of old books. He then sat down,     , “There are two things that I want to teach you Number one is     to judge a book by its cover, for a cover can     you. As a matter of fact, I am one of the     men in the world and have all the things that money can buy.     a year ago, my wife died, and since then l have been     thinking about my life. I realized there were certain things I had not yet     in life, one of which was     it would be like to live like a     on the streets. I promised to do     that for one year. For the past year, I have been going from city to city doing just that. So, you see, don"t ever judge a     by its cover, for a cover can fool you “
“Number two is to learn how to read, my boy. For there is     one thing that people can"t take away from you, and that is your     .” At that moment, he put my right hand in his and put them upon the books he had     from the shelves. They were the writings of Plato(柏拉图) and Aristotle(亚里斯多德)—great classics from ancient times.
