The instructor asked us to list anything in our past that we felt 1 of, regretted, or incomplete about
and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very 2 process, but there"s always some brave soul in the crowd who will
volunteer (be ready to). The instructor then 3 that we find ways to 4 people, or take some action
to right any wrongdoings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever 5 my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: "Making my 6 , I remembered
an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff none of us kids liked. One
night, my two buddies(老兄) and I decided to play a 7 on him."
"After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on
the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a FOX. The next day, almost the whole town saw our
glorious 8 . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied.
No one 9 found out."
"Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown"s name 10 on my list. I didn"t even know if he was still 11 .
Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed.
I tried his number. After a few 12 , I heard, "Hello?" I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused "Yes". "Well, this
is Jimmy Calkins."
"And I want you to know that I did it." Paused. "I knew it!" he yelled back. We had a good laugh

举一反三
the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to
him, so I agreed.
During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular
dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five,
and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me
because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my
dreams.
I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, "Why me?" He spoke
about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about.
He didn"t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about
his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him
he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He
looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, "You are a champion. You
earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you."
Last summer I received a letter from Matthew"s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away.
They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:
Dick,
My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to
let you know that the doctors tell me that I don"t have long to live any more, but I still smile as
much as I can.
I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I
will never get to do that. However, I know I"m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get
to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you
for loving me.

Dr Robert White thinks he knows a 3 of help. He thinks doctors should make the hurt brain 4 to

operations, the monkeys were almost 11 before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do

training I received, though excellent, didn"t tell me how it w
as to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people"s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the
true importance of reading.
My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three children. In the first lesson, I found
out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn"t know which bus
to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she
couldn"t read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn"t
always remember what she needed. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had
a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.
As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie"s self-confidence. She began to make rapid
progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported
how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy
first grader, with his reading. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding
than anything I had ever done before.
As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have
learned more from the experience than Marie did.
B. She helped someone to learn to read.
C. She helped some single mothers.
D. She was trained by a literacy volunteer.
B. Because she didn"t have a bus schedule.
C. Because she couldn"t afford the bus ticket.
D. Because she couldn"t find the right bus.
B. She asked others to take her to the right place.
C. She managed to find the goods by their looks.
D. She remembered the names of the goods.
B. She was able to read stories with the help of her son.
C. She decided to continue her studies in school.
D. She helped to build up my self-confidence
.cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.
She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. "I would have
liked to go back to it, but the shifts (工作班次) are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the
children up and off to school."
So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just ￡90, before tax
and insurance. "It"s better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work "unsocial hours"
should get a bit extra."
The hours she" s chosen to work meant that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her
husband. However, she doesn"t think that puts any pressure on their relationship.
Her work isn"t physically very hard, but it"s not exactly pleasant, either. "I do get angry with people
who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps
they"d be a bit more careful."
The fact that she"s working all night doesn"t worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night
, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. "Since I"ve got to be
here, I try to enjoy myself-and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the
time never drags."
Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she
does for a living. "They think you"re a cleaner because you don"t know how to read and write," said
Margaret. "I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I"d been doing, but I don"t think
that way any more. I don"t dislike the work though I can"t say I"m mad about it."
B. she had suffered a lot of mental pressure
C. she needed the right time to look after her children
D. she felt tired of taking care of patients
B. they look down upon cleaners
C. they never do their work carefully
D. they always make a mess in their offices
B. happy because the building is fully lit
C. tired because of the heavy workload
D. bored because time passed slowly
B. regret what they had said
C. show sympathy for her
D. feel disappointed in her
