My First Day

I was still shy in the presence of a crowd. And my first day at the new 36 made me a laughing stock（笑柄） of the classroom .I was sent to the blackboard to write my 37 . I knew my name, and knew how to write it , but standing at the blackboard with the 38 of so many pupils on my back made me 39 inside and I was unable to write a single letter.

“Write your name,” the teacher called to me. I 40 the white chalk to the blackboard, as I was about to write, my mind went blank, I could not remember my name, 41 the first letter. Somebody laughed and I became 42 .

“Just forget us and write your name,” the teacher called and walked to my side, 43 at me to give me confidence.

“What is your name?” she asked.

“Richard,” I 44

“Then write it.”

I turned to the blackboard and lifted my hand to write, but then I was 45 again. I tried to 46 my senses but I could remember nothing. I realized how totally I was 47 and I grew weak and leaned my hot forehead 48 the cold blackboard. The room burst into a loud 49 and my muscles froze. I sat and 50 myself. Why did I always appear so dumb 51 I was called upon to perform in a crowd? I knew how to write as well as any other pupil in the classroom, and there was no 52 I could read better than any of them, and I could talk 53 when I was sure of myself. Then why did strange 54 make me freeze? I sat with my ears and neck 55 , hearing the pupils around me whisper, hating myself.

Blogs allow readers to post comments. There were millions of blogs out there, so I 36 expected anyone to read mine, 37 respond. But almost immediately they did. Twelve messages were 38 after my first entry. I went to the library five times that day—each time there were more.

The next morning I couldn’t wait to get up and hurry to the library. 39 I told my story. It gave structure and a purpose to my day.

For so long I’d been unable to 40 in the real world, afraid of rejection or pity or scorn(轻蔑). 41 here it was safe. This 42 with people on the other side of the screen, many on the other side of the world, was 43 me back to life again.

One particularly cold Tuesday I opened my 44 to see, among emails from bloggers 45 how I was surviving the snow, one saying: “New York Times Journalist Trying to Contact You.” Ian Urbina had discovered my blog 46 when researching an article on people living in their 47 in the U.S. exchanged emails and later he called me up. I hadn’t spoken to 48 for months but, as rain streamed down the glass 49 , the words came. I had been living in the car for almost nine months.

The article 50 on the front page. I didn’t know until I opened my computer. There were emails from people around the world. For almost a year on one had known I 51 existed but now here were hundreds wishing me well. They said they were 52 for me.

Now every time I pressed “Check Mail”, there were more messages. I watched the numbers of the visitors counter on my blog 53 by the hundreds. These were people at their computers all over the world. I felt as of I was viewing a miracle unfold(展开).

Over the next week, in libraries and in the car 54 under lamp posts at night, I wrote my papers. I had notepaper spread 55 the dashboard(仪表盘). And every morning in the quiet of the lane, I wrote for my life.

Temperature is part of my married romance. Coming to New York from Baltimore--where there is just one small snowstorm each year---I was 36 by a fireplace in my new home, with fires 37 all day, just as what ancient people did at a wedding.

My husband, Peter, comes from northern Ontario, where winter 38 from September to May and cold wind is 39. “When Canadians have 30 below, they 40 it.” He says. “Cold wind is for crybabies.”

So to marry this man I had to learn to 41 for serious cold. To get me from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor to Albany’s frozen Hudson, Peter piled me 42 jackets and sweaters, scarves and gloves, even a hat with earflaps. The gift of Sorel boots—comfortably warm at Canada’s 30 below, was a 43 we were getting serious

That first winter together, living in upstate New York, I thought I’d 44. My boots were good below freezing, but my fingers could 45 tie them. Physical adaptation is real, but it came slowly. And there is also emotional 46 to cold. Some days I tell myself that I have enough beach memories to stick to on 47 days and other days I am reminded that living cold does indeed build 48.

49, having a warm house is important. After my first marriage ended, for years I 50 went on a second date with a man whose response to my “I’m cold.” was, “Put on a sweater.” Now I’m married to a man who 51 that cold hands do not mean a warm heart, and that a big oil bill is better than roses. But surprisingly, I’ve grown, too. I am 52, in this new life and climate, to go and look for that cost-saving sweater.

The word comfortable did not 53 refer to being contented. Its Latin root, comfortare, means to strengthen. The Holy Spirit is Comforter: not to make us comfortable, but to make us 54. We 55 not be warm but we are indeed comforted.

Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer（扫盲志愿者）. The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was 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. 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 could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket, because she couldn’t always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. 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, which encouraged her to continue in her studies. 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. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. 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.

Dear Mrs Winthorp,

So my first week at college is over! No lectures this morning so think I’d email you and let you know what things are going.

I’m glad to say that anything has worked out fine in the dorm. I remember asking for a room as far away from the lifts as possible and they find me a comfortable one on second floor. There are two girls from my course here and I plan to make friend with them so that we can help each other on the course work. Everyone else seems very nice and warmly here.

Well, I had better to stop now. I’m going to attend mine first lesson this afternoon ,for I’ve got some preparation to make .Keep in touch.

Best,

Carol

Can you understand the beginning of this essay?

“My smmr hols wr CWOTT. B4, we usd 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & 3 kds FTF.”

The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages. Text messages (also called SMS2) through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called texting.

A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it’s common to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like “r” for “are,” “u” for “you,” and “2” for “to.” Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “lol” for “laughing out loud.” Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling “please” as “pls.”

Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.”)

Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always evolve, and this is just another way for English to change. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past.

1.What is the writer’s opinion of text messaging?

A. It is fun and easy to do.

B. It is not bad for children.

C. It will make children bad writers.

D. The writer does not give an opinion.

2.Which characteristic of texting is NOT described in the passage?

A. Using phrases to represent essays

B. Using numbers to represent words

C. Using letters to represent phrases

D. Using letters to represent words

3.Which of the following was most probably the title of the student’s essay?

A. My Gr8 Tchr B. CU in LA C. My GF D. My Smmr Hols

4. Why do some people think that texting is bad?

A. It costs too much. B. It’s too difficult to type.

C. Children won’t learn to write correctly. D. It’s not comfortable.

5.Why aren’t some people worried about the effect of texting?

A. Not many people use texting.

B. Spelling in English is too difficult.

C. Children quickly become bored with texting.

D. Texting will disappear because of new technology.
