asked for the note in her hands.
It was a hand-drawn picture of me, teeth blackened, nostrils (鼻孔) upwards, and the words "I"m stupid"
coming out of my mouth. I managed to fold up the picture calmly and continue the class. My mind, however,
was working angrily. I knew the two most likely suspects for drawing the picture. Maybe it was high time
that I taught them a lesson!
Somehow, in the very moment of real hurt and anger, I asked myself very softly, "How can I ever bring
good out of this?"
When there were about six minutes left of the class, I showed the kids the picture. The whole class was
silent. I told them there must be a reason behind such a picture and that now was their chance to tell me the
reason. Then I let them write silently while I stood sadly in the back of the classroom.
Most of them either blamed the artist or felt sorry. But two notes, from the girls I figured were behind the
picture, had a list of issues. I was too mean and too strict. Reading those notes, I realized that where I thought
I was driving them to success I was actually driving them away. I had some apologizing to do.
When the kids walked into my classroom the next day, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The
one signed by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for
forgiveness. I was extremely surprised and more than a little shameful. I had my little speech all ready to give
to the kids, but they did it before me.
B. The teacher"s interesting lecture.
C. The funny picture about the teacher.
D. The short story written on the note.
B. Because she didn"t exactly know who drew it.

D. Because the students" apology removed her anger.
B. didn"t five interesting lessons
C. didn"t treat them equally
D. was not kind to them
B. It is not right to push students too hard.
C. Teachers should get along well with students
D. Teachers should respect students" choices

shoes, he at first told me: "I haven"t time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street ; he"ll fix them
for you right away."
But I"d had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces
of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). "No," I replied, "the other fellow can"t do it well."
"The other fellow" was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys"while-U-wait"-without
knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished
sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) you might as well just throw away the pair.
My man saw I wouldn"t give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron ( 围裙), looked
at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said,"Come back in a week."
I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.
"See what I can do?" he said with pride. "Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work."
When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an
ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his
funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.
These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way
as long as it"pays", when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费)
rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who
gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.
B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais.
C. He was proud of his skills.
D. He was a native Parisian.
B. it was difficult to communicate with this man
C. the man was very strange
D. the man was too old
B. gain happiness
C. make money
D. gain respect
B. whatever you do, do it well
C. craftsmen need self-respect
D. people are born equal

test I would have to face at the end of the course. 4 the evil day arrived. It was my responsibility to lead

in a ploughed field with 7 to get back to camp as quickly as possible.
Well knowing my 8 , the soldiers smiled as they saw me looking at the map and they made all sorts of
helpful suggestions. I folded the map up, put it in my pocket, and said that we would 9 east. After walking
through the cornfield for over an hour we came to a wide stream. I looked at the map 10 . It seemed to be
11 with masses of thin blue lines. But Which 12 line was this steam? In despair, we sat down in the cool
13 and I feel 1ike 14 the map into the water. Fifteen minutes later, a boat passed and I asked the boatman
if he could give us a 15 to the nearest village. I 16 that we had been out for a walk and 17 got lost. The
boatman invited us on 18 and I felt 19 when he told me that he had helped hundreds of soldiers to pass their
map-reading test! Not long 20 , we got off that boat and, following the boatman"s instructions, took a bus into
the village and get back to camp.

| Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn"t covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack.It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn"t have found it amusing. And I was laughing.After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly! Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain.For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn"t sure what to do. After all, it"s just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That"s when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier.He had a mate and she was dying. Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate"s sake (缘故), even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate"s safety seemed admirable. I couldn"t do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed. Since then, I"ve always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me. | ||||||||||||||

| I work as a postal letter carrier in Charlotte. One day several years ago, I drove up to a 1 . Christy, the young divorcee (离了婚的人) who lived there, was waiting by the roadside. She said that she had a 2 to tell me. About six months 3 it seemed that I had 4 a letter to her which had her street 5 on it but was addressed to another house with the 6 number on a different street in her neighborhood. She decided to drop off the letter to the correct house. It turned out that the letter had been 7 for Johnson, who happened to be 8 . They talked for a little while and later on he 9 . Then they started dating (约会) and had been going 10 together ever since. I felt sorry for delivering the letter wrong, but I was 11 that I had brought these nice people together. A few months later a(n) 12 sign went up in Christy"s yard, and then the wedding 13 were sent out. Soon the house was sold, the wedding happened, 14 Christy, with her kids, moved into Johnson"s house. A few months later, I saw a For Sale sign in 15 yard. I feared the 16 might be in trouble, so I made up a(n) 17 to go to their door and check on them. Christy opened the door, smiled broadly, and 18 to her huge stomach "We are having twins!" she said, "This house won"t be big enough, so we have to 19 ." I suddenly realized that my one 20 letter was now giving two little yet-to-be-born people a shot at life. Great! | ||||||||||||||
