“I can"t believe what I"m hearing!” I thought to myself. Jeff was the last candidate (候选人) for president of Students’ Union. My best friend Tony came to me and said, “I"m   1 , Mike. I really thought you should be   2 .”

Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the dining room. I offered him a polite “  3 ” and walked to my usual table. To my surprise, Jeff put his plate beside mine.
“I"m, er-I"m just wondering  4 you would…consider coming to work on my team,” he said  5 . “You are really smart, and you would be a great manager.”
“I don"t think so,” I replied, feeling  6 .
“Well, if you change your mind, we are meeting tomorrow,” he said before moving to  7 table.
All that night, I thought about the offer from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election process (选举过程)would give me a chance to make important changes at our school. I  8 to join them.

Hearing these words made my heart filled with  13 . I had wanted to become president of Student Council to make a difference. I achieved that and more by working as a member of Jeff"s team. He became the most popular candidate and I was a large part of his 14 . The fact that it has made a(n)  15 in other people"s lives is the real prize. What a great feeling!

After a hard campaign, Barack Obama won the US president election on November 4. He will become the 44th President of the United States---the first African-American in the country’s history.
On the election eve, Obama’s grandmother died---only a few days before seeing her grandson’s victory.

As a music teacher for twenty-seven years I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.
A few years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase “Oh yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class Vanessa and I clapped together. She never said or sang a word.
One day late in the school year when the song was finished Vanessa turned around, looked at me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music we had made a connection.
Several years later I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times mimicking the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl through her connection with music left an impression on me that will last forever.
Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s light.
小题1:The author thinks music__________.
A.can make children calm down B.can connect heart to heart

C.was the youngest in the class D.enjoyed the author’s class
小题3:When Vanessa spoke the words “Oh yes!” the author felt________.
A.surprisedB.happyC.frightenedD.satisfied
小题4:What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A.The author has been in touch with Vanessa for several years.
B.Vanessa became as healthy as other children.
C.The song made a deep impression on Vanessa.
D.Being a good educator became Vanessa’s dream.
