class teacher for three years.In my childhood,how I wished I had a mother or a sister like her.One moment she could be tough (严厉的) and strict,another moment caring and compassionate (富有同情心的)．
She always encouraged us
to tell the truth.For instance,if one had not done the homework,he need not lie.She allowed us to make mistakes,saying we couldn't be perfect all the time,but we should try.
Another thing she taught me early on was punctuality.She set a good example with her own behaviour.
She was always on time,so we students tried our best to be on time.
She surprised us with her sense of humour.Her classroom teaching was alwa
ys humorous.After class,she talked to us and told us jokes.
We really felt free to as
k questions and Mrs Pathak would give the answers.If she did not know-there had been some occasions (场合)-she would say so.We all then tried to find out the answers.Whoever came up with the answer was appreciated and given the due credit (应有的称赞)．Now I sometimes
wonder whether Mrs Pathak was pretending just to encourage us to explore and find answers by
ourselves.

Some years ago I took on a task in a southern county to work with people on public welfare. What I
wanted to do was to show that everybody has the capacity to be self sufficient and all we have to do is to
activate (激励)them. I asked the country to pick up a group of people who were on public welfare, people
from different racial groups and different family groups. I would then see them as a group for three hours
every Friday. I also asked for a little petty cash to work with, as I needed it.
The first thing I said after I shook hands with everybody was, "I'd like to know what your dreams are."
Everyone looked at me as if I were kind of fool.
One woman said to me,"I don't know what you can do with dreams. The rats are eating up my kids."
"Oh," I said,"That's terrible. No, of course, you are very much involved with the rats and your kids. How
can that be helped?"
"Well, I could use a new screen door because there are holes in my screen door." I asked, "Is there
anybody around here who know how to fix a screen door?"
There was a man in the group and he said,"A long time ago I used to do things like that but now I have
a terribly bad back, but I'll try."
I told him I had some money if he would go to the store and but some screening and go and fix the
lady's screen door. "Do you think you can do that?"
"Yes, I'll try."
The next week, when the group was seated. I said to the woman, "Well, is your screen door fixed?"
"Oh, yes." she said.
"Then we can start dreaming, can't we?" she sort of smiled at me.
I said to the man who did the work,"How do you feel?"
He said,"Well, you know, it's very funny thing. I'm beginning to feel a lot better."
That helped the group to begin to dream. These seemingly small successes allowed the group to see
that dreams were not insane. These small steps began to get people to see and feel that something really
could happen.
Everyone found something. The man who put in the screen door became a handyman. In 12 weeks,
I had all those people off public welfare. I've not only done that once, I've done that in many times.
B. Everyone should not have depended on public welfare.
C. Everyone has the ability to live on without getting public welfare.
D. The county should gather people from different racial groups together.
B. The people the author worked with were very wealthy.
C. The author usually met the people four times a month.
D. The people the author worked with had no dreams at all.
B. The rats are crazy and have the children as food.
C. The rats are giving the kids and the mother much trouble.
D. The kids are too weak and even are nearly eaten by the rats..
B. Small success can be parts of your dream.
C. I have had those people off public welfare.
D. Your dream comes before it becomes a reality
Students who work during term time to support themselves at university are far more likely to graduate with a poor degree, according to a government-funded study published yesterday.
Undergraduates with part-time jobs are a third less likely to get a first or upper second-class degree than other students, harming their career chances. Students from the poorest backgrounds were most likely to take jobs during term because they could not depend on help from their parents.
The report, commissioned (委托) by the Department for Education and Skills, also found a clear relation between fear of debt and employment in non-graduate jobs. Students from poorer backgrounds are known to be more unwilling to be in debt than those from middle class families.
The study of 8,600 people who graduated in 1999 was made by Peter Elias, of Warwick University, and Kate Purcell, from Bristol Business School. They found that twice as many first-class degrees were awarded to students who did not work during term compared with those who did. Between 35 and 38 percent who worked during term achieved a lower second, compared with about 28 percent of those who did not.
Professor Elias said that the increase in school fees next year to ￡3,000 would have to be monitored (监控) carefully for its effect on poorer students. "Higher education is going to be a harder struggle for those who do not come with all the advantages," he said.
He suggested that universities could get in touch with employers to provide work experience on good salaries to choose students during holidays, so that they did not have to work during term.
1.What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Students at university like to take part-time jobs to support themselves,
B. Term-time jobs at university lead to poorer examination results.

2.Why did lots of students take term-jobs at university?
A. No one would lend them money to continue their study.
B. They wanted to improve themselves by taking part-time jobs,
C. Their families were poor and couldn't afford the high expense.
D. They thought earning money was more important than studying.
3.Students who took term-jobs at university ____.
A. had no possibility to study better than those who didn't
B. couldn't graduate from school normally in the future
C. might have trouble in finding a job in the future
D. were more independent than those who didn't in the future
