I was at Kendriya Vidyalaya in Bambolim, Goa, in the 1980s. On Inspection Day one year, an officer and his team from the Board of Education were coming to see how our school was run. As usual, our teachers asked us to be prepared.

At the end of the day, Mrs Sushila Tyaji, our Hindi teacher, walked in and told us that the inspector had come and quietly observed the class from the back door. He had also left an adverse remark! That was sad for us. Would we now be punished for having failed our teachers? There were no answers from Mrs Tyaji. Instead, she wrote the Hindi word “dukh” on the blackboard. And then she did something I have never seen a teacher do in my entire school life. She apologized.

“I am sorry for having taught you something wrong,” she said. “I missed out the dots between the letters ‘du’ and ‘kh’. The inspector told me this in the staffroom. I hope you will not make this mistake in future.”

That admission had a significant effect on me. If our teacher can say sorry to us when she is wrong, why can’t I? The incident helped me get rid of two common vices—ego and dishonesty.

Twenty-three years passed. I had to let my teacher know what that lesson meant to me. I recently located Mrs Sushila Tyaji using the Internet and went to meet her with my husband.

She smiled when she heard my story of how her small decades-old apology had transformed me for good. “It’s tough being a teacher. But every once in a while, when an old student comes along and tells us that we did something right, it makes up for everything else,” she said.

1.The underlined word “adverse” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”.

A. offensive B. unfavorable

C. encouraging D. unforgettable

2.At the end of Inspection Day, Mrs Tyaji ________.

A. praised the students for their hard work

B. expressed her disappointment in the students

C. told the students that she had made a mistake

D. punished the students for their bad behavior

3.What did the author learn from Mrs Tyaji ?

A. Honesty is the best policy

B. Comfort is better than rude

C. One can never be too careful

D. It is better to be safe than sorry

4.The author’s word during the visit made Mrs Tyaji feel ________.

A. guilty B. contented

C. surprised D. embarrassed

Old people are easy to feel lonely because their children are busy with their work and have little time to spend with them. Most of them have to be companied by pet dogs. However, it is sometimes impossible for some old people to keep pet dogs because they are too old or ill to take care of pet dogs.

Experts are studying the influence of robotic dogs on old people’s depression（忧郁症）,physical activity, and life satisfaction. Researchers are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to see whether they can improve the quality of life for old people. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, said, “Old people should be more active, challenged, excited. The problem is how we promote that, especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”

In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO. Researchers will collect basic data for six weeks. Then, the researchers will review the data to decide if there are any changes in the life of its owner.

“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a 70-year-old lady. “When I'm watching TV, he'll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”

The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over real dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog needn’t any exercise and feeding concerns.

“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would prefer the robotic dog because it was metal and not furry (毛茸茸的) ,”Beck says. “But it’s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”

Hopefully, these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper. They will record their masters’ blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help exciting older people’s minds.

Sally likes going to school ______ she has got many good friends there.

A. or B. because C. unless D. so

Looking good, feeling good

Born to a model mom and a suit maker dad, fashion was actually in my blood. I always had a strong desire to dress in a certain way and to stand out from the crowd.

I made my own toys when I was a young child and sewed my first skirt at just 10 years old. A friend’s mother took one look at my skirt and told me that I should be a patternmaker. In high school I started making my own clothes, mostly changing other things because I never liked anything how it was when I bought it. During the last two years of school, I worked part-time for a small business that made hand-painted silk clothing and bags. The owner became the teacher who got me into design in the first place. Another useful bit of work experience then came when I worked at a showroom during fashion week and found it very exciting. From there I worked at a top clothing store while I got my business started.

For my business I started out with the idea that everything I did would be hand-made and one-of-a-kind, specially made for one individual who hopefully had the same tastes as me. Every morning I jumped out of bed, went to my studio and worked on my projects. This just showed how enthusiastic I felt about my work. And at night I even dreamed of new designs!

Fashion design is functional art. What I mean is that it’s something close to you and something you can touch and feel, and actually interact with. My advice to any young person who wants to be a fashion designer is to get the basic skills early on, such as sewing and pattern-making. Even if you end up specializing, it’s really important to understand all aspects of design in order to make high-quality clothes.

Also, if you dream of having your own clothing line, the best thing to do is start wearing your clothes. You have to try and do this because that’s the way you’re going to develop something that’s all yours and unlike anyone else’s. I passionately believe that the right clothing can make people feel better and give them more confidence.

Louis Armstrong had two famous nicknames (绰号). Some people called him Bagamo. They said his mouth looked like a large bag. Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music.

Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短号) at a boy’s home. In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician.
