I’d been proud that I’d never lost my cellphone until my husband Jack got a call one evening.

We went to visit a friend in hospital last year. When Jack’s  36  rang, it was my mother calling from my  37 .  She asked if I had 38  my mobile. I checked my purse. It was  39 !

I used Jack’s phone to call my number. Then a boy, whom I’ll call Rhys,  40  it. “I found your phone!” he said, excitedly. “I have been trying to find you, but  41  it was getting late, I decided to leave.”  He gave me the address of a  42  near his home.

Later that evening, I went to  43  him there. I didn’t dare to go  44  , worrying this was some cheater. So Jack came along. After 45  10 km, we got to the coffee shop which Rhys  46 .

My 47 were gone. Rhys was just a young boy. “How did you  48  my mum?” I asked. He  49 that when he found my mobile by the roadside, he started calling people in my list of contacts (联系人). But all they  50  was my mobile phone number----- which didn’t _51.  He’d called many names, starting with the letter A. Finally he got Adam, one of my friends, who 52 my house.

I was  53  to get my phone back with all the contacts, messages and photos I could have lost for ever. I was so 54  to Rhys and offered him some money, but he  55  .

As we drove back, we praised Rhys for his honesty.

The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before a huge pile of troublesome stuff they call “books”.

I was going to have my examination the next day. "When can I go to bed?" I asked myself. I didn’t answer, in fact I dared not.

The clock struck 12. "Oh, dear!" I cried, "ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to study so hard when he was a boy ."

The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, Please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.”  My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

A good relationship(关系)with a teacher may help you learn better. But what should you do if you find it difficult to get along well with your teachers? Here are some tips.

If you’re facing problems with a teacher, try to find out why.  1  Or do you like the subject but just dislike the teacher?

If you don’t like the subject, it can affect(影响)your relationship with the teacher. You should try to find the practical value in classes you don’t like. You may hate math.  2 

If you find a subject hard, talk to your teacher to be given more help.  3  It may help you raise your grade gradually.

Show an interest in the subject, which may change your attitude towards your teacher. You can also talk to your teacher when he or she is free. Use this time to get extra help , ask questions, or talk about your progress in class. You may be surprised to learn that your teacher is a bit more relaxed and friendly than when lecturing in front of the whole class.

If you don’t agree with your teacher, do not quarrel with him or her.  5 Just as teachers need to be fair and treat everyone equally, students have responsibilities too. You don’t have to like your teacher or agee with what he or she says, but it is necessary to be polite.

A.Do you dislike the subject?

B.What is your opinion about it?

C.What if you just don’t like the teacher?

D.Any teacher will give you some useful advice.

E. And it’s impossible to like everyone all the time.

F. Common respect is a basic requirement of any relationship.

G .But learning it well can help you in everything from sports to leaving a tip(小费).
