Five of us went off to Amsterdam late last summer for a week. We finished our holiday jobs and thought we deserved a break. We got a cheap flight to Amsterdam,took a bus into town,and went to see the sights. .

None of US knew the place,so it was a bit of an adventure,and we got completely lost at one point.

My friend Dave nearly fell into ? canal when we were crossing a bridge because he wasn,t looking where he was going!But we managed to find the Van Gogh Museum,where we had to queue for two hours. There were so many people!While we were waiting there,I met an old friend from school. The world is a small place!

We stayed in a travellers’hostel(招待所) ，and met some friendly Italians who were staying there too. The hostel was cheap and clean. Ten people in one dormitory can be a problem!And for food,we generally ate in fast food restaurants. Did you know the Dutch have mayonnaise (蛋黄酱) with their chips? But on my birthday we had a special meal at an Indonesian restaurant.

Anyway,public transport is good,so it's easy to get around the city. A lot of people rent bikes,but we preferred to go by bus. You have to be careful though. You get your ticket from a machine,not from the driver. When we were going to the Vondelpark on Friday,two of the boys didn’ t have any money to buy a ticket,and an inspector caught them. They had to pay five times the fare!They tried to say they were foreigners,but the man didn' t accept that. The rest of us just laughed. In the end,we all had a great time and would love to go back to Holland.

Last summer I was fortunate enough to be able to spend a month in France. It was the most exciting time of my life. I stayed with a family in Montpellier. It was very different from my life in the United States. Every morning we bought fresh bread from the bakery (面包店) and had coffee in a bowl instead of a cup. The milk came in bottles fresh from the dairy (牛奶场) .These differences were skin-deep,however,I soon discovered other more important ones.

Back home in Winnetka,Illinois,I wouldn’t think anything of taking a ten-minute shower every day,or even twice a day in summer. In my French host family,we showered only once every two days and used far less water. First you turn the water on to get wet,then turn it off and soap yourself up,then you turn it on again to rinse the soap off,so the water is only on for about maybe two minutes. Although it was pretty hot there in summer,I’d never taken showers in cold water!I couldn’t imagine what it was like in winter.

I also noticed that although the'family had a car,they hardly ever used it. The father took the bus to work in the morning and the mother rode her bicycle when going on short trips. The family was well-off rather than poor,but they tried to drive less. As Americans,however,we are quite used to taking long showers and driving everywhere,using much more energy than French people.

Living in Montpellier and seeing people’s frugal life there,I get angry thinking of the resources wasted in the United States. When I came home,I was much more energy-conscious. I didn't drink coffee out of a bowl anymore,but I started riding my bike to school and turning the thermostat down at night.

1. According to Paragraph 1 ,Americans and the French are different in

A. their eating habits

2. What can we learn about taking showers in Montpellier?

A. lived a poor life

B. made full Use of their car

C. enjoyed taking short trips

D. had environmental awareness

4. The underlined word “frugal” in the last paragraph probably means .

A. quiet

John Sand was one of the most influential teachers I have ever met. During high school,he taught me more than any other teacher had been able to.

He developed unusual methods of teaching. He did not give US homework on the first day and have it due the next; instead,he gave US a homework schedule for the term and left it up to US to remember to do it. By doing so,he prepared US for life after high school,where it would be up to US to make our own work schedules.

Mr. Sand was a family man. He made use of whatever time we had left in class to show US his latest vacation videos or his children's sports videos. It was nice to see,in a world where a broken home is the average home,a man who balanced his family and his career so nicely.

Mr. Sand always encouraged US to get out of our little close-minded society of Wethersfield and explore the cultures of the world. He would tell US stories of his travels across Europe and his adventures around the US. Many teachers just forced the idea of college and ignored our heed to reach outside of what we know.

Many people may not ever have a teacher like Mr. Sand. I feel sorry for them. Mr. Sand taught me things that went beyond the curriculum (课程) and let me know how powerful a teachers influence could be.

1. How did Mr. Sand deal with students,homework?

A. .He always avoided giving it.

B. He punished those failing to finish it.

C. He wanted students to be responsible for it.

D. He spent enough time every day checking it.

2. What do we know about Mr. Sand from Paragraph 3 ?

A. He only had one child.

B. He had a great love for life.

C. He liked doing sports after work.

D. He valued his job more than his family.

3. Mr. Sand shared his tours around Europe with his students to .

A. lead them to know more

B. encourage them to become brave

C. inspire them to care for others

D. show them how to spend their free time

4. What would be the best title for the text?.

A. Teachers I like best

B. An outstanding teacher

C. Teaching,a great career

D. How to be a caring teacher

I was acted as a volunteer at the Old People5 s Home in our town during the summer vacation. Apart from do some cleaning for the elderly,I took some photos of them. Most of the photos I have taken came out real well. I enlarged and framed some photos I thought were quite good. Then I gave each of the old people the photo. Looking for their own photos,they were much more excited. They both said to me with a smile,uThank you for doing such a nice thing for us." To be honesty,I was very happy to have been able to brighten their days.

In my life,I have had a number of good teachers ,many common ones and a few who were truly exceptional. Many years before,I was a rule-obeying kid and lived a very peaceful life. I liked school but felt bored.

And then I entered fourth grade. My teacher,;

Mrs. Gerlip,was a young woman who combined art,music,theatre and other forms of creative expression into a lively class. I blossomed. I formed a “Fun Club” with other girls in my class which was all about having fun. I wrote a book called Through the Forest about the adventures of Polly and Jack who disobeyed their parents. Much of the joy and self-confidence I experienced that year was owed to the great teacher whom I never forgot.

So you can imagine my surprise when fifty years later I received a letter in the mail. A few days later ,reunion was planned at Mrs. Gerlip's home. Reconnecting with Mrs. Gerlip was a journey back in time. Five decades had passed,but my teacher still remembered eveiy student. She hadn' t forgotten the class (恃强欺弱者) who used to hit me on my way to school. In a time when bullying was considered nothing serious,Mrs. Gerlip put a stop to it.

Now,in my mid-fifties,I appreciate even more the gifts I was given in fourth grade. I am deeply grateful. It' s never too late to reach out and express thanks to that extraordinary teacher in your life. I hope you are fortunate enough to have one,like Mrs. Gerlip,who not only develops your mind but your soul.
