I was no one special in Miss Roberts' class.I don't remember any one special bit of wisdom she passed on.Yet I cannot forget her respect for language,for ideas and for her students.I realize now,many years later,that she is a selfless teacher.I'd like to say something to her,but I don't want to pull her from a class.
The drama teacher brings Miss Roberts into the hallway where stands this 32-year-old man she last saw at 18.“I'm Mark Medoff,”I tell her.“You were my 12th grade English teacher in 1981.”She raises her head,as if this angle(角度) might bring back her memory.And then,though armed with a message I want to deliver in some perfect words,I can't think up anything more memorable than this,“I want you to know,”I say,“you were important to me.”
And there in the hallway,this slight and lovely woman,now nearing a retirement age, this teacher who doesn't remember me,begins to weep;she holds me in her arms.
Remembering this moment,I began to sense that everything I will ever know,everything I will ever pass on to my students,to my children,is an inseparable part of a treasure of our shared wonder and hope that we can,must,make ourselves better.
Irene Roberts holds me in her arms and through her tears whispers against my cheek,“Thank you.”And then,with a quick look into my forgotten face,she disappears back into her classroom,returns to what she has done thousands of days through all the years of my absence.
On reflection,maybe those were,after all,just the right words to say to Irene Roberts. Maybe they are the very words I would like to speak to all those teachers I carry through my life as part of me,the very words I would like spoken to me one day by some returning student:“I want you to know you were important to me.”

You must have been troubled by when to say "I love you" because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.
What if you say it first and your partner doesn’t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don’t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be never racking (紧张) and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn’t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand faster?
“A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal,” says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal.” “All relationships go through power struggles but,” he says, “if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in.” That feeling of “I’ve always loved you more” may be subverted (颠覆，破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling (大声争吵). In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,” says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. "The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative.” In fact, the person who says “I love you” first may also be the one who says “I’m bored with you’ first.” Hall believes that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the motivation of the person saying it. Is it said when they’re drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is “Please don’ t be unfaithful to me” ? By saying “I love you”, they are really saying “Do you love me?” If so, wouldn’t it just be more honest to say that. Collins agrees that intention is everything. "It’s not what is said, but how it’s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.”
41. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The importance of "I love you" B. The meaning of "I love you"
C. The time of saying "I love you". D. The place of saying "I love you"
42. In the first sentence the author means that____________.
A. it is easy to say "I love you"
B. it is hard to say "I love you"
C. we have many troubles in our life
D. people usually do not know when to say "I love you"
43. According to the expert, a good relationship should be _____________.
A. fair and equal B. fair and kind
C. powerful and equal D. confident and fair
44. In the third paragraph, the phrase "with the upper hand" means __________.
A. being low in spirit B. having only one hand
C. being active D. being passive
45. What is the most important for you to consider when somebody say "I love you" to you?
A. The intention. B. The place. C. The time. D. The determination.
