At that time, Mr Smith took out a small box.②盒子里装满了橡皮。" Look, Shirley," he said, standing next to her. "I have something to show you. "He took out the erasers and put them on the desk. "Look at these erasers, Shirley, he continued. "Do you know why they are become smaller and smaller. That's what you must learn---everybody makes mistakes, but they can be valuable experience and teach you something important.” Then he left one eraser on Shirley's desk.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】直到一个新老师，史密斯老师，来到我们班，改变才发生。

【2】The box was full of erasers.

【3】The erasers.

【4】useful

【5】Yes, she did.

【解析】

短文讲了雪莉是一个害羞的女孩，她在我们班很少回答问题因为她害怕犯错误。后来一位新老师告诉她“橡皮为什么它们变得越来越小吗？这就是你必须学到的-每个人都会犯错，但它们可以是宝贵的经验，教会你一些重要的东西。” 从那时起，雪莉改变了很多。她现在不是害羞，而是积极和自信。她不再害怕犯错误了。

【1】观察句子“Nothing changed until Mr Smith，a new teacher, came to our class.”，“until直到….为止”，“came to来到”，“a new teacher一位新老师”修饰Mr Smith，故填：直到一个新老师，史密斯老师，来到我们班，改变才发生。

【2】观察句子“盒子里装满了橡皮。”，“be full of……充满”，“橡皮eraser”应该用复数形式，故填：The box was full of erasers。

【3】根据前面“Look at these erasers, Shirley, he continued. 雪莉，看看这些橡皮，他继续说道。”，可知这里的they指的是上句话提到的“these erasers”，故填：The erasers。

【4】根据“That's what you must learn---everybody makes mistakes这是你必须学会的——每个人都会犯错”，我们可以推断出这是应该是一个褒义词，再结合“and teach you something important. 并教会你一些重要的东西”，可知答案，故填：Useful。

【5】根据“From then on, Shirley changed a lot. Instead of being shy, now she is active and confident. 从那时起，雪莉改变了很多。她现在不是害羞，而是积极和自信。”可知她变成了一个自信的女孩，故填：Yes, she did。
