字词句段篇系列答案Some fifty years ago , I was studying in a middle school in New York . One day , Mrs. O’Neil gave a maths test to our class . When the papers were marked , she found that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes in the test .
There is nothing new about cheating in exams . Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Neil didn’t even say one word about it . She only asked the twelve boys to stay after class . I was one of the twelve .
Mrs. O’Neil asked no questions , and she didn’t scold us , either . Instead , she wrote the following words on the blackboard : On your way home you find some money and you’re completely sure that you will never be found out . Later someone comes to ask you if you have found some money he lost . What will you do ?
She then ordered us to write down the question , and asked us to take our whole lives to try to find out our own answer to it .
I don’t know about the other eleven children . Speaking for myself I can say : it was the most important single thing of my life. From then on , I have been asking this question to myself when I have to make a decision .
Because of this , Mrs . O’Neil has become the most unforgettable teacher for me in my whole life . I often think of this : if Mrs . O’Neil had scolded us as many other teachers often did , would I go on cheating every day ?

Renee had been married for a long, long time. Her favorite part of being married was the weekend, when she was with her two horses. On the weekend, Renee was at the stables(养马场) from morning until dark. She fed, groomed, and rode her horses. She was an excellent rider. She would ride the horses bareback on Saturday, and then she would saddle（给马装鞍） them up on Sunday.
Renee loved parades. She used to say, “A parade isn’t a parade without a horse.” Renee loved parades almost as much as she loved her horses. She belonged to an email list of volunteers for parades. She regularly visited the state website list of parades to see if there were any new parades that she didn’t know about. All the state parades were organized in her computer. In the parades file, she listed the date, drive time and distance, parade time, contact people, and other details she felt were important.
She knew the parade director of every town within a four-hour drive. She never stayed overnight. She always left the parade in time to get her horses back to the stables before “bedtime”. She had to feed them before they turned in. Her horses seemed to like parades, too. They knew a few tricks that always impressed the children.
Renee was very generous with her time and her horses. But owning horses wasn’t cheap. You had to rent the stables, and there were always vet(兽医) and feed bills. Renee knew how to cope with expenses, though. Her vet always gave her a 10-percent discount for paying cash. She always bought the no-name, generic food for the horses. Her vet had told her it was just as healthful and tasty as the brand name material. She always bought economy gasoline. And on parade days, Renee always packed her own lunch and ate with her horses.

My mother had been gone from my life for a year when my father took my sister, Kate, and me to visit her. It was about an hour from our home to Camarillo State 1 , but it might as well have been halfway around the world for how 2 we saw each other.
A 3 curtain had fallen when Mom left. Sitting on the grass, Kate and I, eight and five years old, were 4 , subdued (闷闷不乐的) by the unsettling prospect of what 5 Mom would be in. What would she look like? How would she 6 ?
Reports from the doctors 7 she’d been going through some tough times, 8 the first six months, my father said. She cried a lot, and at night, when she 9 Kate and me, the doctors tranquilized (calm sb. using a drug) her.
10 , walking toward us in the distance, we saw her, or 11 we thought was her. But this woman seemed old and unsteady on her feet as she walked along, 12 the arm of a man in a white uniform.
I felt goose bumps springing on my arms. Yes, it was Mom. But her red 13 , once so thick and shiny, was now dry and wild, all the natural waves gone. 14 so attentive and full of life, Mom seemed tired, her eyes sad, searching. Her face 15 me most. Webs of broken blood vessels crisscrossed her skin, providing a map of the violence she had endured (忍受). It would be years before I understood better what had happened to her: She and many other patients had been given, against their 16 , electroshock treatments.
Sitting down on the blanket, Mom 17 us close, first Kate and then me. I had 18 this moment, figured everything would return to normal once I fell into her embrace (怀抱). She would 19 again and take care of me; she would play the piano as she loved to. We would be a 20 again.
