I was eleven years old, waiting for my exam at Saraswati Vidyalaya, my school in Nagpur. “No. 12, please come forward.” Kirti, a very fat girl from my class, stepped ahead. I heard my classmates laughing and so I tried to stop them with my eyes. But my good intentions were mistaken. The next morning, my teacher, Mrs. Kamble, told me, “Ashwini, I’ve received a complaint about you.” I was shocked. The girl I was protecting thought I’d been laughing at her.
I tried to explain but the teacher refused to hear me out. She punished me by making me stand by the door. I knew I was right. Such punishment to a class topper was simply unheard of. But, slowly, my pride disappeared. Instead of being angry, I understood the other students who have been punished at times. For the first time, I felt humbled (谦逊的).
Three years later, I was in the math class. Mr. Prabhuraman, wrote an equation (方程式) — one he’d taught us the day before — on the blackboard. “Anyone who doesn’t know how to solve this,” he said, “please leave the class at once.” I knew I could solve only the first two steps. But my pride made me stay there. Unfortunately, the one who was asked to solve it was me. I just stood there, chalk in hand, trying not to look foolish. I prepared myself for a good talking-to (斥责), but Mr. Prabhuraman told me kindly, “Go back to your seat.”
Today, two decades later, those incidents have made me think. One teacher punished me for something I didn’t do; the other forgave me for something I did wrong. Both experiences had an effect on me. They remind me that no matter what you accomplish (完成), you must always be humble.
【小题1】When the very fat girl appeared, Ashwini _____.

    Did you ever notice that when you’re fat, men don’t look you in the eye? They look across your shoulder. There’s no eye contact.

    My name is Leslie. I am a real person. Up until two years ago, I was never looked in the eye, by anyone.

    I was too tired to be a lover to my husband. I was falling asleep by 8 o’clock most evenings. When I did go out for an evening,my husband was ashamed of me. And he said so to my face. When I walked, my thighs scrape together. I couldn’t even cross my legs. I was fat. Not just“overweight”Fat. I was 5’55” tall and weighed 205 pounds.

    About 18 months ago, my husband Darrell left a “Dear Leslie”letter on my bed and asked for divorce.

    I went to a psychologist for advice. I knew that my weight was the source of my troubles. But I’d tried 14 different diets, at which I failed one by one.  

    He listened carefully and recommended an entirely different program. This was not a “diet.”It was a unique new weight-loss program researched by a team of specialists who help to treat the severely fat. I entered the program. Within the first four days, I lost only three pounds. So I was disappointed. But during the three weeks that followed, my weight began to drop from 205 pounds to 124 pounds. To me it was a miracle.

    The reason the program worked was simple. I was always eating. I could eat six times every day. I could snack in the afternoon. Snack before dinner. I could even have snack at night while watching TV.

    How can you eat so much and still lose weight?  

    The secret is in the combination of foods, approved by the research team, which you eat in each 24 hour period. You will enjoy a variety of meats, chicken, fish, vegetables, potatoes, sauces. Even some light wine or beer if you wish. But be sure to have them in the right proportion(比例)…thus a complete 24-hour fat-reduction cycle is formed.

    Without hunger, without nervousness, it lets you lose pounds so easily. Once you lose the weight, you’ll keep it off. Forever, I am sure of that.

1.Leslie        .  

    A.had never looked anybody in their eyes.

    B.had difficulties in walking because she was too fat.

    C.was looked down upon by her husband because she went to bed too early each      evening.

    D.was often embarrassed because she was overweight for her height.

2.Leslie went to psychologist for advice in order to      .

    A.lose her weight.     B.recover her marriage

    C.get a vegetarian diet             D.become an advisor

3.The weight-loss program worked very well. The reason is that      .  

    A.Leslie ate very little food and sometimes even fast food.

    B.Leslie only had snacks and never had dinners.

    C.Leslie could have rich food several times a day in the right proportion.

    D.Leslie had rich food whenever she felt hungry.

4.Where do you think this article is most likely to appear?  

    A.Daily newspaper.                  B.Women’s magazine.

    C.Apart of a novel.                 D.Newsweek magazine.
