One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I"m giving the whole thing up to you.” Just then, I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster, “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time” and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a great improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll(光荣榜). In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home,he said, “Mum,remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”

举一反三
I come to Japan two years ago, and didn’t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it’s best to teach in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.
I teach English privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表) of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time.
Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on, but whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.
The schools are unwilling to take time off –even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.
小题1: From the passage we know in Japan the writer likes to live in ________.
A.Tokyo | B.a small town |
C.a city of middle size | D.a big city |
A.give a TEFL course | B.decide his or her own lessons |
C.find students | D.build up a full schedule |
A.there are many foreigners in Japan |
B.Japan is good for nightlife |
C.they can teach English privately in Japan |
D.Japan has something more attractive than expected |
A.the writer travelled a lot and saved much money in Japan. |
B.the writer teaches English in more than one school as a part-time job. |
C.the writer enjoys watching football games |
D.the writer spent one year in finding students for his private teaching. |
Grandfather had always said the Christmas 37 was the most important. So we set to work assembling(组装)the beautiful 38 tree that was stored in grandfather’s closet(储藏室). After we finished, we stepped back to 39 our work. It looked wonderful. But something was 40 .
“Where’s the star?” I asked. It was my grandmother’s 41 . As we emptied box after box and found no star, my grandmother’s eyes 42 with tears. Grandfather had given it to Grandmother fifty years ago. Now, on her first Christmas without 43 , the star was gone, too.
“Let’s 44 in the closet where the tree was,” my sister Donna said. We 45 under beds and over shelves, inside and outside 46 we had exhausted every possibility. We could see Grandmother was 47 , although she tried not to show it. By now, it was 48 outside, and time for bed, as Santa would soon be here.
The next morning, my sisters and I 49 early to see what Santa had left under the tree. After breakfast, the family sat together to 50 presents. “The last gift is to Grandmother from Grandfather.” Father said, in a puzzled voice.
“From who?” There was 51 in my grandmother’s voice.
“I found that 52 in the closet when we got the tree down,” Mother explained.
My grandmother opened it. Her face lit up when she pulled out a(n) 53 golden star. There was a note attached. Her voice trembled(颤抖)as she read it:
Don’t be 54 with me, dear. I broke your star while putting away the tree. Thought it was time for a new one, I hope it brings you as much 55 as the first one. Merry Christmas.

Although you shot at me twice before I left you, I did not want to hear of your being hurt. It would do me good to go back to the dear old home again and see Allen, Esther, Green, and Lee. Give my love to them all, and tell them I hope we will meet in the better world, if not in this.
I want to know particularly what the good chance is you propose to give me. I am doing tolerably well here in Ohio. I get twenty-five dollars a month, with food and clothing; have a comfortable home for Mandy, the folks call her Mrs. Anderson; and the children—Milly, Jane, and Grundy—go to school and are learning well. The teacher says Grundy has a head for a preacher. We are kindly treated.
Now, if you will write and say what wages you will give me, I will be better able to decide whether it would be to my advantage to move back again. We have concluded to test your sincerity by asking you to send us our wages for the time we served you. This will make us forget and forgive old scores and rely on your justice and friendship in the future. I served you faithfully for thirty-two years, and Mandy twenty years. At twenty-five dollars a month for me, and two dollars a week for Mandy, our earnings would amount to eleven thousand six hundred and eighty dollars. Add to this the interest for the time our wages have been kept back, and deduct(扣除)what you paid for our clothing, and three doctor’s visits to me, and pulling a tooth for Mandy. If you fail to pay us for faithful labors in the past, we can have little faith in your promises in the future.
In answering this letter, please state if there would be any safety for my Milly and Jane, who are now grown up, and both good-looking girls. I would rather stay here and starve—and die, if it should come to that—than have my girls brought to shame by the violence and wickedness of their young Masters. You will also please state if there has been any schools opened for the colored children in your neighborhood. The great desire of my life now is to give my children an education and have them form virtuous habits.
Say howdy to George Carter, and thank him for taking the pistol from you when you were shooting at me.
小题1:According to the passage, the letter was written by Jourdon to his former _______.
A.friend | B.master | C.neighbor | D.relative |
A.The family name of this letter writer is Anderson. |
B.The writer is paid the same as he was in Tennessee. |
C.The writer will certainly get at least 11,680 dollars. |
D.Safety rather than education weighs a lot to the writer. |
A.he shows his intention of going back in Tennessee |
B.he is somewhat richer and does not need to go back |
C.his life is relatively good but still needs improvement |
D.he is not a little satisfied with his present life in Ohio |
A.to show he needs that amount of money urgently |
B.to show he is determined to get what he deserved |
C.to test whether the letter receiver is worthy of trust |
D.to tell the letter receiver he still has faith in him |
A.wise | B.stupid | C.greedy | D.generous |
When I entered the classroom, our teacher announced we were going to have a math test. I took a look at the 41 full of what looked like hieroglyphs(象形文字) to me and began to 42 . I did the best that I could, and then left my 43 to put my paper in a pile(摞) on the front desk with a(n) 44 .
I returned to my seat and then an idea came to my mind. I 45 where the teacher was before I made my 46 . She was walking in the 47 of the room with her back turned. I left my seat and went back to the pile of test papers already handed 48 and when I picked up my paper I also 49 the paper right below it before returning to my seat. When I looked at the 50 paper I had taken, I discovered it was the work of the 51 girl in our class, I copied her answers to my paper.
The next day the teacher handed back our papers turning them facedown on everyone’s desks. When I 52 my paper over, I was 53 to see an “F” on it. After class I went to the girl whose answers I had 54 and said to her, “That math test was difficult. I 55 it. I guess we need to study more.” Her 56 was, “Not me, I got every question 57 and got an A.”
The teacher knew. She never blamed me in front of the class and 58 me to keep my dignity(尊严). I made a 59 to myself never ever to cheat again. I would remember to always be 60 in the things I do. I never forgot that teacher who failed me when, really, I had failed myself.

I felt tense and 39 . It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from under the jacket like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling overhead, that I was about to 40 myself. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the 41 before me, the violin under my chin.
The first notes I played were loud and raw, like a declaration of protest, then they settled down and began to run more _42 and to stay more or less in tune. To my 43 ,I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any 44 at all. Then an old man, without stopping at all, dropped a penny into my 45 as though getting rid of some guilty evidence.
I worked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually obtaining the truth of the 46 by trial and error. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money---the sight could 47 a kind-hearted man; nor was it wise to 48 it completely, which could also confuse him, giving him no hint as to where to 49 his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a 50 practice and I made sure, between tunes, to take off most of the earnings, but always leaving two 51 behind.
Old 52 were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls and barmaids. As for men, heavy drinkers were always willing listeners and so were big guys with muscles. But 53 a man with an expensive hat, briefcase or dog: respectable types were the least 54 of all. Except for retired army officers, who would shout "Why aren"t you 55 , young man?" and then would over-tip to cover up their confusion.
