Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable moments 1     when I was teaching second 2     10 years ago.

In May I decided to plan something special for the children:a Mother' s Day tea party. We had put our heads together to 3     ideas of how to 4      our mothers. We practiced singing songs,memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea party the Friday before Mother's Day. I was surprised but 5     to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I 6     invited my own mother.

Finally,the big day arrived. Each child 7      up at our classroom door,expecting the arrival of his or her mom. 8      it got closer to starting time,I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn' t shown up and he was looking 9      .

I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. "Jimmy," I said, "I have a bit of

problem here and I was 10      if you could keep my mother 11     while I, m busy?”

My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy 12      my mom her treats,presented her with the gift I had made,just as we had 13      the day before. Whenever I looked over,my mother and Jim?my were in deep 14      .

Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages,educating them about the environment. Last year,I took a senior class on a field trip,and there was Jimmy. I had the students complete an outline of the day' s 15      and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students' booklets and checked them to see if 16      was completed. When I came 17      Jimmy, s page,he had written "Remember our Mother's Day tea party we had in second grade, Mrs. Marra? I do!Thanks for all you did for me,and thank your mother,too."

I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and 18      his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug. "Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn,t 19      it."

I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had 20      stopped hugging teachers years ago.

Among various programmes,TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest,than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.

Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "rubbish talk". The contents on his show are as surprising as they can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of

love,sex,cheating,and hate,to a different level. Clearly,the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society,yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people, s lives.

Like Jerry Springer,Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons,managing your work week,to getting to know your neighbors.

Compared to Oprah,the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.

Clean as it is,the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show, s main viewers are middle class Americans. Most of these people have the time,money,and ability to deal with life's tough problems. Jerry Springer,on the other hand,has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love,relationship,sex,money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show's exploitation.

(   ) 1. Compared with other TV talk shows,both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are         ,

A. more interesting B. more formal    C. more detailed D. unusually popular

(   ) 2. Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?

A. Family income planning. B. Nation hatred.

C. A new type of robot.    D. Street accident.
(   ) 3. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows         . 

A.  have become the only ones of its kind

B.  attract different people

C.  appear at different times of the day

D.  exploit the weaknesses in human nature
