题目内容

That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in  1 for seventeen years, I had no  2  about my ability to hold their attention and to  3  on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.

I was shocked when the monitor shouted, "  4  !" The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat  5  about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness was over, I quickly  6  my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect—perhaps  7  their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.

My students  8  diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually  9  by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, "Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.  10  her next lecture will be better." Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a  11  theme. "Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical  12  for all the works we’ll study in class," I complained." How _13  they say I didn’t teach them anything?"

It was a long term, and it  14  became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as_15 of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise   16  questions and provide enough background so that students could  17 their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide _18_ information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!

_19 , I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a  20  American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

On Sundays my father always wore that gray apron(围裙)—the one with the race cars all over it. The ritual (老规矩) began.       breakfast when Dad always announced, “Go ahead everyone. I’ll       the dishes!” For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing ballads (歌谣) like “I Had a Hat When I Came in.” and “Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Marphy’s Chowder?”www.zxxk.com

I suppose it was        for a boy’s father to wear an apron—even one with race cars—        I never thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August. As we        home slowly from church together, my father seemed very       . “Tommy,” he said letting my name roll off his       . “There comes a time in every boy’s        when he must take on responsibilities. It’s time you        a greater role in the family. From now on, I want you to        the dishes on Sunday morning, so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle (纵横字谜) together.”

“The dishes!?” I        in surprise.

“Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son?” father said.

I started to say something about a man’s        or woman’s work, but I knew immediately that my protests (抗议) would be        .

I didn’t taste a bit of       that morning. Dad seemed joyful as he described an American game.[www.zxxk.com]

At the end of the meal, my father        , “Let’s go to read the paper, honey.” “Aren’t you doing the dishes?” my 51 asked surprisedly. Father smiled and said, “your oldest son has        to fill the position.”

“I want you to have this apron on, Tommy. It’ll keep your clothes from getting        .” And before I could go against it, he had put the thing on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I        this.”

With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked        at the dishes. I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. He was always happy to help the family. My anger soon flew off and I began to sing.

 “Last week,” Dr. P said “I was invited to a doctors’ meeting at the R. Hospital. In one of the rooms a patient, an old man, got up from his bed and moved slowly towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to live, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor.”

“Frank!” I cried with surprise. He couldn’t answer as I knew, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine.

My thoughts raced back more than thirty years—to the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter (防空洞), in which I and about a hundred other people slept every night. Among them were Mrs. West and her son Frank, who lived nearby. Sharing wartime problems, we got to know each other very well. Frank interested me because he was not normal (正常的). He had never been normal, ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby has. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be of course, because Frank depended on her completely. He needed all the attention of a baby.

One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs. West that her house had been all destroyed. That wasn’t quite true, because the West went on living there for quite some time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned.

When that kind of thing happened, the rest of us helped the unlucky ones. So before we separated (分别) that morning, I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his.

They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running—and placed his right foot against mine. After that, he always greeted (问候) me in the same way.

1.How did Dr P know that the patient was Frank?

A.He was told that Frank was in the hospital.

B.He was invited to study Frank’s illness.

C.Frank greeted him in a special way.

D.Frank’s name was written on the door.

2.When and where did Dr. P first meet Frank?

A.At the R Hospital about ten days before.

B.In an air-raid shelter during the war.

C.In Mrs. West’s house in 1941.

D.In London after the West’s’ house was destroyed.

3.The unlucky ones mentioned by the doctor were __________.

A.those who suffered from illness.

B.those who were killed during the war

C.those who slept in the air-raid shelter.

D.those whose homes were destroyed in air-raids

4.Dr. P placed his foot against Fran’s before he left the shelter.

A.to find out if Frank could put on his shoes

B.to be friendly towards Frank

C.to see if Frank’s feet were normal

D.to teach Frank to greet people in a special way

5.Why did Dr P say that Mrs West had to be a strong, able woman?

A.She was over 75.

B.She needed all the attention of a baby.

C.She had to give care and thought to her son as to a baby.

D.She lost nearly everything in the war.

 

I woke up late and had breakfast in a hurry. I had never been late and didn’t want my boss to be unsatisfied.

However, it seemed that day wasn’t a lucky one for me from the very second I left my flat. The moment I wanted to rush downstairs one of my stiletto heels (细高跟) broke. I had to return to change my red shoes. I also had to change my purse and other little things that I had tried to match with the shoes. I was sure I would be late for work.

On my way to work I had to wait for over half an hour because of an accident. I had no choice but to wait. I phoned my boss and he told me that it was no problem, but he needed me for the meeting with the Japanese clients (客户) that morning.

Finally, I arrived at the office one hour later. I had to keep calm and be fresh for the meeting to make the clients sure that our plan was the best for their future commercial (商业的) project. However, I left the plan I had made the night before at home and was going to present (介绍) it to the clients. I was about to get angry when I realized that I had a draft (草稿) of it in my office.

At last, the presentation came to an end and it turned out to be a success. But I have to say that I had a terrible day, full of incidents (事件).

A.She got up late in the morning.

A.Her boss was very angry with her.

B.She often arrived at her office on time.

C.She left her plan on the bus.

D.She was nervous at the meeting.

3.What did the clients think of the writer’s presentation (介绍)?

A.Dull.

B.Just so-so.

C.Excellent.

D.Terrible.

4.According to the passage, which is the correct order of the following events?

a. She presented the plan to the clients.

b. One of her stiletto heels broke.

c. She arrived at the office.

d. She phoned her boss.

e. She tried to match her purse with her red shoes.

A.beacd

5. Which old saying could be used to describe the writer’s incidents?

B.A good beginning makes a good ending.

C.Where there is a will, there is a way.

D.One trouble never comes alone.
