题目内容

  In 1995,I return to Miami Beach High School to speak to the drama(戏剧) class.Afterward I ask the drama teacher if any of my English teachers is still there.“Irene Roberts,”he tells me,“is in class just down the hall.”

   I was no one special in Miss Roberts' class.I don't remember any one special bit of wisdom she passed on.Yet I cannot forget her respect for language,for ideas and for her students.I realize now,many years later,that she is a selfless teacher.I'd like to say something to her,but I don't want to pull her from a class.

  The drama teacher brings Miss Roberts into the hallway where stands this 32-year-old man she last saw at 18.“I'm Mark Medoff,”I tell her.“You were my 12th grade English teacher in 1981.”She raises her head,as if this angle(角度) might bring back her memory.And then,though armed with a message I want to deliver in some perfect words,I can't think up anything more memorable than this,“I want you to know,”I say,“you were important to me.”

  And there in the hallway,this slight and lovely woman,now nearing a retirement age, this teacher who doesn't remember me,begins to weep;she holds me in her arms.

Remembering this moment,I began to sense that everything I will ever know,everything I will ever pass on to my students,to my children,is an inseparable part of a treasure of our shared wonder and hope that we can,must,make ourselves better.

   Irene Roberts holds me in her arms and through her tears whispers against my cheek,“Thank you.”And then,with a quick look into my forgotten face,she disappears back into her classroom,returns to what she has done thousands of days through all the years of my absence.

   On reflection,maybe those were,after all,just the right words to say to Irene Roberts. Maybe they are the very words I would like to speak to all those teachers I carry through my life as part of me,the very words I would like spoken to me one day by some returning student:“I want you to know you were important to me.”

  Memorizing English words can be a headache for learners in China. It is also a time-consuming process to 1 a dictionary when you come across a new word. But have you ever 2 using an electronic dictionary to save your time and help you to memorize new words?

  The electronic dictionary is a device that 3 English into Chinese and Chinese into English. It usually has a search function, too. Some also have other functions 4 a phonebook, a memo, a calendar and even games.

  The electronic dictionary industry began to heat up in China in 1995. 5 , the industry has grown remarkably.

   6 a popular tool for business people, electronic dictionaries have also become 7 among tourists and professional interpreters. But in the past two or three years, younger people, 8 middle school students in China, have taken to this device.

  One middle school student from Beijing said that about 9 of his classmates have an electronic dictionary. Almost all of Shenzhen's middle students have one, according to Fu Daqing, 10 is a manager at Shenzhen Technology Co, Ltd.

  Why are these devices so popular in schools? Zhu Meng, a Junior Two student at a Shenzhen middle school, said,“The biggest advantages of the product are 11 is very easy to use and easy to carry. It also saves time.”

  At present, no longer a cold, chunky box that users can 12 find friendly, the electronic dictionary is beginning to 13 a new look.

  The MS-160, 14 by Shenzhen Meisheng Scientific Technology Co, Ltd, is a good example of a machine that students 15 easy to use and carry. Zhang Lina, a classmate of Zhumeng's, said,“This new model looks 16 .”

The MS-160 comes in four different popular colours and looks thinner and smaller than older models. It can store more than 100,000 words and 900 17 within 12 kinds of different situational dialogues 18 , this does not necessarily mean that electronic dictionaries can replace the traditional dictionaries.

  Jia Lida, a Senior student at a Beijing middle school, said, “I don't have one because the price of an electronic dictionary is 19 than that of a paper dictionary.”

  He added that, 20 paper dictionaries, electronic ones cannot tell users about how to use words-in writing and speaking, as well as in reading.

  Many people see a person who can't read or spell as disabled, but what does disabled really mean? Well, with Andrew Mertzit of Maryland it meant he would not be 1 to attend his school any more. Andrew's 2 is that whenever he is reading, he sees the letters p, d, q and b as a 3 and stick. Since Andrew's teachers couldn't 4 him much, Suzanne, Andrew's mother decided to take 5 in her own hands. She decided to home school Andrew. In ten months, Suzanne, a trained reading specialist tried many different 6 to help Andrew with his disability. She helped Andrew with making letters out of sand, rice and shaving cream. Now, about nine years later Andrew is 7 having some problems with reading, but certainly a lot better than before.

  Lately researchers have been finding many different ways to help learning disabled students by 8 things like rice and shaving cream or even to get little computers. Also, nowadays there are schools all over that have programs to help disabled kids, unlike back in 1995 when Andrew had to be 9 schooled by his mother. But to help disabled students it takes about $ 8.12 billion. You probably think that's a lot of money, but if you 10 that in 1996 there were about 2.6 million kids who were disabled, it may not seem all that 11 . Even though a person may have a learning disability at a certain subject, like reading, it does not mean that he or she doesn't have a talent(才能)at something else. For example, 15 years ago when Joey Hollingsworth entered kindergarten, teachers said that Joey was very clever. Once Joey started getting 12 , his grades got lower. Lots of people just thought he was 13 and had discipline(纪律)problems. Many years later he finally was 14 for learning disabilities and found out he really did have a disability.

  Still many people believe kids like Joey who can't read or write are lazy. It's hard to understand that 15 a person doesn't look disabled, he can have problems with learning, and it's even harder for the 16 . But now they are getting close to understanding how learning disabilities start. Brain researchers have some new equipment. These machines 17 pictures of the brain while in 18 . They're learning a lot already by examining the brains of the people who have been 19 and who have learning disabilities. It is reported that some of these damaged brain cases are 20

完形填空

  On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed.It happened a few minutes past three,   1   my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it   2   over a fence.Chris was paralyzed(瘫痪)from the chest down,   3   to breathe normally.As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of   4   with lots of unexpected challenges.We went from the “haves” to the “have-nots”.Or so we thought.

    5   what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of   6   difficulties.We came to learn that something   7   could happen in a disaster.All over the world people   8   Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day.By the end of the third week in a   9   center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of   10   had been received and sorted.

  As   11  , we opened letter after letter.They gave us   12   and became a source of strength for us.We used them to   13   ourselves.I would go to the pile of letters marked with “Funny” if we needed a   14  , or to the “Disabled” box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or  15   in bed living happily and   16  

  These letters, we realized, had to be shared.And so   17   we offer one of them to you.

Dear Chris,

  My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your   18   accident last week.No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this   19    challenge.People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you   20  

Yours Sincerely,

Nancy Reagan
