As Mrs.Thompson stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.

But that was impossible，because there in the front row，slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.Mrs.Thompson noticed that he didn’t play well with the other children，that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath.And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs.Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen，making bold X’s and then putting a big “F”at the top of his papers.

However，when she reviewed his file，she got a surprise.

Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote，“Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners... he is a joy to be around.”

His second grade teacher wrote，“Teddy is an excellent student，well liked by his classmates，but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle.”

His third grade teacher wrote，“His mother’s death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but his father doesn’t show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren’t taken.”

Teddy’s fourth grade teacher wrote，“Teddy is withdrawn and doesn’t show much interest in school.He doesn’t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class.”

Now, Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her students brought her beautifully wrapped Christmas presents. Teddy’s present，however，was clumsily wrapped in rough brown grocery paper.Taking her time she opened Teddy’s gifts，a rhinestone bracelet with stones missing and a quarter full perfume bottle.How the children laughed！“What a pretty bracelet! Mm，lovely perfume！Perfect on my wrist，”The children were silent.

After school，Teddy told Mrs. Thompson，“Today you smelled just like my mom used to...”His teacher cried all night and, from that day，she stopped teaching reading, writing，and arithmetic and began to teach children instead.

1．What is the best title of this text?

A．A Student’s Best Friend　　　　　　　 B．How to Be a Good Student

2．Which of the following is TRUE about Teddy?
