Last year was the first year when I taught the fifth grade. Recently, I’ve been 1 by a “graduated ”student for the first time. I was really surprised when he walked into my home.
He hasn’t physically changed much since 2 my class last year and if I had had to guess who would come to visit me first. I wouldn’t have thought of him. Carlos was a student who had a hard time sitting 3 in the beginning of last year. He would often 4 to go to the bathroom, and he’d talk or look like he was falling asleep because of little sleep. He often needed 5 in doing anything that other students could do well on their own.
I found out that the reason for his behavior in my classroom was that he had been 6 nightmares(噩梦)about his border-crossing experience. He was 7 that the immigration office would take him or his parents to prison or back to their 8 . And here he was in my class trying to learn a(n) 9 language, which he had never touched before.
When he was in my class, one thing that stood out was that he had a(n) 10 time speaking English. But when he walked in my room yesterday, all of that was missing. In walked a calm, 11 boy who spoke and understood English far better than when he left me in June. He even 12 to speak to my class in the sixth grade in English. He told me he remembered doing sign language and the video I made to help him 13 his English.
His visit 14 a lot to me not only because he has made great progress, but also because it reminded me what it means to be a teacher ----- to have a lasting influence on 15 .

I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员) at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable(有价值的) in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “no”. At once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash(现金). He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “A reward(酬劳) for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.
Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.
小题1:Which of the following is true?| A．The owner of the wallet found a twenty-dollar bill gone. | | B．The writer wasn’t surprised when the man gave her a reward. | | C．Nothing in the wallet was missing. | | D．The man was very, very excited when he got his wallet back. |
小题2:The writer returned the wallet to the owner because _______. | A．she thought Christmas was coming | | B．the owner came back too soon | | C．she didn’t know there was so much money in it | | D．as an honest person, she didn’t care much about money |
小题3:Which of the following is NOT true? | A．The writer accepted a reward of $ 20. | | B．The writer regretted (后悔) that she had returned the wallet. | | C．The writer didn’t return the wallet until the owner came back. | | D．The writer fell very happy after she returned the wallet. |

Christmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a celebration at a pub(酒馆) for students. But, for Cai Yingjie, the night has a different meaning: helping beggars(乞丐) and the homeless(people without homes).
Cai, who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing’s Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. When she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves(手套).
The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying “for the first time I feel respected(尊重)”.
Cai said, “A beggar’s life is very hard. That’s why I want to help them.”
Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve among the poor. They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on Friday, visiting 15 beggars in Beijing’s Haidian District.
They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise.
“I know the activity can’t help much, but it’s meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head of the group. “And Christmas is a good time for that.”
小题1:What does Christmas Eve mean to the 14 Tsinghua students? | A．Taking 15 beggars to Tsinghua. | | B．Getting together with friends. | | C．Showing care to the beggars and the homeless. | | D．Selling bread and gloves to the beggars. |
小题2:What does the beggar mean by saying “for the first time I feel respected”? | A．The beggar has been waiting for Cai for long. | | B．The beggar hasn’t been shown care for so long. | | C．The beggar has been respecting Cai for a long time. | | D．This is the first time the beggar has seen Tsinghua students. |
小题3:What did each beggar feel when they received greetings? | A．Sad. | B．Amazed. | | C．Frightened. | D． Proud. |
小题4: The word “neglected” in the last passage means _______. | A．protected | B．found | | C．taken care of | D．given no enough care |

I saw the old man, with his untidy clothes and messy hair, as he dashed between the rows of the department store. He was trying to be ordinary but he was hard not to __21 .
He 22 the saleswoman and with a slight 23 , possibly German, asked where the women’s shoes were sold. “Fourth floor.” She responded in a voice I could hear 10 miles away. “Pardon? Where did you say they were?” he asked again, apparently 24 . Clearly the old man was somewhat 25 “Fourth floor, sir,” the friendly saleswoman replied patiently, this time so 26 that customers turned to see what was causing the 27 .
I continued watching as the man thanked the saleswoman and 28 for what I assumed was the fourth floor. But rather than walk to the 29 or the lift, he dashed behind a shelf, took out a notebook and started writing hurriedly, with an almost mad 30 on his face. Then he went straight up to another saleswoman and asked where the women’s shoes were sold. Again he asked her to 31 the answer and once more he walked away and took down some notes.
He did this three more times before a department store 32 , thinking him mad, removed him from the store. But rather than be 33 , the old man departed with a huge smile on his face. Although the incident was 34 , it was not until a year later, during my first year of university, that I gave it any further 35 . I walked into my language classroom and met my professor. It was that very same man.
