题目内容
8.When he was 12years old,the boy made a decision.He only later realized it probably hurt his teacher.He was,after all,a kid.But in time,when he was older and wiser,he wanted to find this teacher and apologize (道歉).But the teacher seemed to have disappeared.In the past ten years,the boy,Larry Israelson,often turned to the Internet,typing the teacher's name into search boxes.He never found anything.But he never stopped looking.Last month-by now nearly 39years after the event happened-he got a hit.
Excited,he started reading a story I had written in The Oregonian about a program that helps kids.He studied a photo and found his teacher,who was a volunteer.He then emailed me and asked me to introduce him to the teacher,James Atteberry.
I got in touch with Atteberry.He agreed to talk to his student.Shortly thereafter,I received a package with an envelope in it.I immediately took it to Atteberry.
As James Atteberry read the letter,he was brought back to 1973,when he was a history teacher in Huntington Beach.In the letter,Larry said,"I am truly sorry for leaving your seventh grade class during the 1972-1973school year.I don't have many memories from school,but at the top of my exercise-book you wrote‘You will go far in life.'Looking back on my younger self,I was proud to be your student."
When it comes to apologies,no one gets a pass.Everyone needs to receive one,and everyone needs to give one.

分析 本文是一篇人物故事类短文.主要介绍了一个男孩---拉里•伊斯雷尔森,当他12岁的时候,他做出了一个决定.后来才意识到有可能伤害到老师,后来大点了聪明了,他想找老师道歉,但是老师好像失踪了.拉里•伊斯雷尔森在过去的10年里经常在搜索栏里输入老师的名词,什么也没找到,但是从来也没停止寻找,已经将近39年了,上个月的时候,终于有了结果.这是我给俄勒冈报一个帮助孩子的节目写的一个故事,他研究了一张照片,找到了他的老师,他是一个志愿者,他给我发了邮件,让我向他的老师--詹姆斯•阿特贝里介绍他.我和阿特贝里取得了联系,他同意和学生谈谈,很快,我收到一个包裹,里面有一封信,我立刻就拿给了阿特贝里,他读了这封信之后,好像回到了1973年,当他还是亨廷顿海滩学校的一个历史老师的时候.在信中,拉里说"我很抱歉的就是在1972-1973学年的时候,离开了老师您的班级,我对学校没留下多少印象,但是你在练习本的封面上写着‘我相信你的未来一片光明,回想年轻的我,很自豪是你的学生'."当道歉来了的时候,没人会让它过去,每个人需要收到一个道歉,每个人也得给予一个道歉.
解答 50.C.细节理解题.根据"In the past ten years,the boy,Larry Israelson,often turned to the Internet,typing the teacher's name into search boxes"可知拉里在网上寻找老师用了十年的时间,故选C.

52.D.细节理解题.根据"Everyone needs to receive one,and everyone needs to give one."每个人需要接受道歉,每个人也得给别人道歉,作者在文章结尾处作出了总结,和D句的意思是一致的,故选D.
