Miss Wenter was watching TV when the program suddenly stopped. “Sorry to interrupt the program．Now we are requested to broadcast an important notice from the police station．At about nine this evening, a lady named Mrs. Humney was robbed and killed. Anyone who can supply any clue is requested to report to the police．Thank you．” The terrible news made the lonely girl shake with fear．She couldn’t help looking around, but she didn’t notice that a man was already hidden behind the door to the veranda （阳台）．
All of a sudden the man appeared before Miss Wenter．The girl really didn’t know what to do．“Don’t ask for trouble．Put your jewellery on the table．Then think over whether I shall be safe to stay up here for the night,” said the robber．That made Miss Wenter even more terrified, but she tried to calm herself．
Just then came the whistle of a police car．In a little while, someone rang the doorbell．The robber said with a gun against the girl’s back, “Go to the door and say that you’ve gone to be D．Never let him in．”
In a flash, the girl had an idea．“Oh, who are you?” she said. “Is there anything unusual?” asked the policeman．“No, there isn’t．Good night!” Immediately she added loudly, “Besides, my elder brother extends his warm greeting to you．” “Thank you．Good night,” the policeman replied in the same manner．
A few minutes later the sound of the police car going away could be heard. “It’s well done,” the robber said with a smile．Then he rushed to the girl．Almost at the same time the glass on the window was broken．The policemen hurried into the room from the veranda. They quickly put handcuffs （手铐） on the robber．
“Miss Wenter, your greetings were so good that it made us take action right away,” said Sergeant Bull, “because we’ve already known that your brother was killed in a robbery half a year ago．”

查看习题详情和答案>>Many years ago my student asked me the question, "Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?" Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life." Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide.
"Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.
Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:
It's in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.
Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can't have ripples without a "stone." Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that's what I strive to do.
I genuinely love teenagers.
I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.
Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.
Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?
A. Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.
B. Because the writer was insincere.
C. Because the student was naughty.
D. Because the answer was difficult to understand.
What do you think of the writer?
A. Stupid. B. Honest. C. Conservative. D. Polite.
According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her.
B. The writer’s answer made the student confused.
C. In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.
D. The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.
We can infer from the text that _________.
A. the writer was also a good teacher in school
B. the writer often plays with her students beside a pond
C. the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students
D. the writer often accompanies the students on their way home
