Mr Williams
1
his little boy by the hand, and said
2
to him, “Come, my son. I want to show you
3
in the garden.”
Harry walked into the garden with his
4
, who led him along until they came to a bed in which peas(豌豆) were growing. Not a weed(杂草) was to be
5
about their roots.
“See how beautifully these peas are
6
, my son,” said Mr. Williams. “How clean and healthy the vines(藤) look. We shall have a good
7
. Now let me show you the vines in Mr. Parker’s garden.”
Mr. Williams then
8
Harry to look at Mr. Parker’s pea vines.
After a few moments, Mr. Williams asked, “Well, my son, what do you
9
Mr. Parker’s pea vines?”
“Oh, Father!” replied the little boy. “I never saw such
10
looking peas in my life! The weeds are nearly as
11
as the peas themselves. There won’t be half a crop!”
“
12
are they so much worse than ours, Harry?”
“Because they have been left to grow as they
13
. I suppose Mr. Parker just planted them, and never took any care of them
14
”
“ Yes. A garden will soon be overrun with weeds
15
it is not taken good care of,” Mr. Williams
16
, “and so it is with the human garden. Children’s minds are like garden beds. They must be
17
cared for. I send you to school in order that the garden of your
18
may have good seeds(种子) and
19
plentifully. Now which would you
20
, to stay at home or go to school?”
“I would rather go to school,” said Harry.

I believe listening is powerful Medicine.
Studies have shown it takes a(n)
1
about 18 seconds to
2
a patient after he begins talking.
It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I
3
her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway. She was an older woman, sitting at the edge of the bed,
4
to put socks on her swollen feet. I stepped in, spoke quickly to the nurse,
5
her chart noting she was in stable
6
. I was almost in the clear.
I stood against the bed looking down at her. She asked if I could help put on her socks.
7
, I started a monologue that went something like this: "How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they're better today. The nurse
8
you're anxious to see your
9
who's visiting you today. It's nice to have family visit from far away. I bet you really
10
forward to seeing him."
She
11
me with a serious, authoritative voice. "Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story."
I was surprised and
12
. I sat down. I helped her with the socks. She began to tell me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that the stress of this
13
greatly to her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head no and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to
14
.
Each
15
is different. Some are detailed; others are unclear. Some have a beginning, middle and end. Others wander
16
a clear conclusion. Some are true; others not.
17
what really matters to the storyteller is that the story is
18
-— without interruption, assumption or
19
.
Listening to someone's story is key to healing and diagnosis. I often thought of what that woman taught me, and I often
20
myself of the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening.

Richard Rice, a fast-talking man paced up and down in front of the freshmen debate class, telling us about his high expectations. We were special, he declared on our first day at Oak Park High School. But there would be no
1
to success. Only those who worked hard would shine.
Suddenly Mr. Rice
2
in mid-sentence and looked at me. “You know,” he said “you’re black!” Somehow, I knew he wasn’t trying to hurt me.
Mr. Rice was no
3
teacher. I entered high school not even quite sure what debate was. I left his class four years later as an outstanding debater. Even today, I am not sure what
4
such a great teacher of him. He always said whatever he was thinking. And he was
5
. He would march out of the classroom
6
if he thought a student was giving less than his effort. The worse thing with us was to be taken no notice of. Instead, being torn apart by Mr. Rice in the middle of a practice debate meant you were one of his favorites.
He wasn’t always
7
on us. I’11 never forget the National Student Debate, at which my calm delivery and my firm grasp of the problems disappeared. The only face I could make out in the audience was Mr. Rice’ s face. I could
8
I was doing terrible just by looking at him. After it was over, he came over to me. “Not my best
9
,” I said. He shook his head, “No.” Then, to my surprise, he gave me a hug.
Mr. Rice’s style didn’t make him a great teacher for everyone. Many kids
10
out of the debate class after the first year. But for me four years with him was my unforgettable experience.

One minute means a lot in one's life.
During his college years, Roger
1
a summer in an Idaho logging camp. When the boss had to leave for a few days, he
2
Rogers in charge.
“
3
if the men refuse to follow my orders?" Rogers asked. He thought of Tony, an immigrant worker who troubled all day, giving the other men a
4
time.
‘‘Fire them,” the boss said. Then, as if
5
Rogers' mind, he added,“I suppose you think you are going to fire Tony if you get the
6
. I'd feel
7
about that. I have been logging for 40 years. Tony is the most
8
worker I've ever had. I know he is a troublemaker and that he
9
everybody and everything. But he comes in first and leaves last. There has not been an
10
for eight years on the hill where he works.”
Rogers
11
the next day. He went to Tony and spoke to him."Tony, do you know I’m in charge here today?" Tony grunted(嘟囔).“Iwas going to fire you the first time we tangled(纠缠),but I want you to know I’m not,”he told Tony,
12
what the boss had said.
When Rogers finished,Tony
13
the spadeful of sand he had held and tears streamed
14
his face.
That day Tony worked harder than ever before.
Twelve years later Rogers met Tony again who was now the
15
for railroad construction for one of the largest logging companies in the West. Rogers asked him how he came to California and happened to have such
16
.
Tony replied, "If it not be for the one
17
you talk to me back in Idaho, I kill somebody someday. One minute
18
my whole life."

I remember vividly the call that changed my life. It was Tuesday, February 18, when the
1
rang in the kitchen of my Los Angeles home. On the
2
was Marty Bandera, a literary agent to whom I had sent a draft(草稿) of my novel three weeks earlier. “ I have a couple of
3
,” Bandera said.
“First, how old are you?” “I’m 48,” I replied.
“Are you in good
4
?” “Yes, excellent. What’s this about?”
“I’ve sold your novels
5
one and a half million dollars.”
I sat down in
6
. I had written over fourteen novels in twenty years, but each one had been
7
by the publishers. I suppose many people would have been
8
, but not me. Each time, I just
9
writing another one. My husband advised me to find something else to do, but I refused to
10
. Seeing this book
11
was the best thing that has ever happened to me. It’s a mystery story (like all the others) and it was on the best-seller
12
two weeks after publication!
I got my first lesson in story
13
from my grandmother. She used to read me stories. She was the one who gave me a
14
of words. She sparked(激发) my
15
and she has been a
16
influence on me. I always had stories running through my
17
and as soon as I could write I
18
them down on paper.
I married young and I have three children, but I never stopped writing,
19
novels between doing the diapers(婴儿的尿布) and dishes. I am writing another novel now. Yes, my
20
has changed my life。

It was said by Sir George Bernard Shaw that "England and America are two countries separated by the same language". My first personal
1
of this was when I worked as a camp instructor for two months in 2006 in a Summer camp
2
by the Boy Scouts of America,
3
part of an international leader exchange program. Before I went, all the participants in the program were given a list of words that are in common
4
in the UK which Americans would either be confused by or would
5
make them angry. I memorized the words and thought "I'11 manage."
However, when I finally arrived in the States three months later, I realized that perhaps a lifetime of watching American television was not
6
preparation for appreciating and
7
the differences between American and British speech. In the first hour of arriving at the camp, I was
8
to High School American English, Black American English and the American English spoken by other ordinary people, all very
9
to each other. Needless to say, I
10
manage in the end. The Americans I met were very helpful, and I found they were patient with me when I made a social communicative mistake when I used an inappropriate word or phrase.

For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Until I took Dr. Offutt’s class, I was an underachieving student. But I left that class
1
never to underachieve again. He not only taught me to think, he convinced me, as much by examples as words, that it was my
2
obligation to do so and to serve others.
Neither of us could know how our relationship would
3
over the years. When I first came back to DeMatha to teach English, I worked for Dr. Offutt, the department chair. My discussions with him as he mentored me were like graduate seminars in adolescent (青少年)
4
, classroom management and school leadership.
After several years, I was
5
department chair, and our relationship shifted again. I thought that it might be
6
to chair the department, since all of my former English teachers were
7
there, but Dr. Offutt supported me
8
. He knew when to give me advice about curriculum, texts and personnel, and when to let me
9
my own course.
In 1997, I needed his
10
about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school.
11
he had asked me to stay at DeMatha, I might have.
12
, he encouraged me to seize the new opportunity.
Five years ago, I became the principal of DeMatha.
13
, Dr. Offutt was there for me, letting me know that I could
14
him as I tried to fill such big shoes. I’ve learned from him that great teachers have an inexhaustible wealth of lessons to teach. Even if his students don’t know it yet, I know how
15
they are: I’m still one of them.

It’s an age-old saying: Men are from Mars; women are from Venus. Males and females
1
different behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to basic differences in
2
structure and activity. Studies show men are better at hitting targets and
3
math problems while women are better at memorizing words and
4
faces. Why the differences?
A test of the brain’s electrical activity shows that women commonly use both sides of their brain while men rely more on one. Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions---one controlling the sense of space,
5
, the other controlling language. Some researchers believe that the different ways men and women use their brains
6
from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women cared for the children. Men had to have good aim. Women had to talk to the kids.
Whatever the
7
, the battle of the sexes continues. And although their brains are constructed
8
differently, men and women may be equally capable. They may simply
9
different abilities. Take a couple arguing over the location of their car in a parking lot. The man might use his sense of space to find it, while the woman relies on her
10
of landmarks. Both of them find the car. But chances are, they’11 still argue about who’s the better driver and who’s better at finding the way home.
