题目内容

Mr. Brown was a nice teacher.He taught ns science。In the first class,he gave us a talk on an animal called“birdcat”which had died out(灭绝)during the Ice Age.He passed around a skull(头骨)as he was talking.We all took notes carefully and later we had an exam on it.

    When he returned my paper the next day, I found there was a big red“X”on it.I falled! I couldn’t believe my eves! There must be some mistakes! 一 I wrote down exactly what Mr. Brown said.But then I learned that everyone in the class failed.What had happened?

    Very simple! Mr. Brown said that he had made up(编造)all that“birdcat”and there had never been such an animal.So the information in our notes was incorrect.

    But We all felt that was unfair.What kind of exam was this? And what kind of teacher was he?

    “You should have figured it out,”Mr. Brown said.“Actually, the‘birdcat’skull was a cat’s.”Hadn’t he been telling us no other findings about this animal except the skull? He had told us many unbelievable(难以置信)things about the animal,such as the size,the color, the diet….but none of us had questioned him!

    Mr. Brown said he hoped we would learn something from that lesson.Teachers and textbooks are not always correct.In fact no one is.He told us not to let our minds go to sleep.and to speak up if we ever thought he or file textbook was wrong.

    Mr. Brown's class let me and my classmates learn something important:never fear to look people in the eye and tell them they are wrong.

Passage 4

 Mr Brown was going away for a week. Before he left, he said to his son, "if anyone asks for me, you can tell him that your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week, then be sure to ask him to sit down for a cup of tea."

"OK, Dad," said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.

Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.

The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said, “Where is your father?” The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it.

Mr. Brown was on his way home from the railway station. It was very late, and he was alone on the dark road. Suddenly he heard someone behind him. He began to walk faster. The man behind him walked faster, too. He walked more slowly, and the man moved more slowly, too. He began to run, and the man was following him and he was really scared.

There was a wall on one side of the road, and he quickly climbed up on it and jumped down on the other side. “If he passes and doesn’t stop,” Mr. Brown thought, “everything will be all right.” But the man didn’t pass. He climbed up on the wall and jumped down, too. Mr. Brown’s only thought was, “I’m in great danger!” He stood up and shouted, “What do you want? Why are you following me?”

The man was so tired that at first it was difficult for him to speak. “I didn’t know that you were a very good runner,” he said at last, “I have to go to Mr. White’s house, but I don’t know the way.
