At the end of a writing class, I asked the students to share what they had written. We had a new
student at the school, Al. Al had been with us for only a short while and was still trying to fit in (适应),
so I was a little surprised when he volunteered to read. I asked him to read, but inside I wished that the
other students would not laugh at him.
Al began to read, "If I had one wish, it would be to meet my dad..." He started out loud and clear.
He told how he had never seen his father. He told how he tried to be the only man in the house at such
a young age.
I took a look at the students. I knew some kids liked to laugh at others. However, all of my students
were listening. They were letting him do this, I thought. They were allowing him to share something.
"If I had one wish, it would be to meet my dad, so I wouldn"t have to close my eyes every night just
wondering what he looks like," Al finished. The class stood up and applauded (鼓掌). They all ran to Al
with hugs. My eyes got wet.
This is why I teach. I teach because I can watch kids grow and laugh and learn and love.
B. a writing teacher
C. a listening teacher
D. a reading teacher
B. the best
C. the worst
D. a new
B. Al had never seen his father
C. Al knew what his father looked like
D. Al looked like his father
B. 拥抱
C. 缠紧
D. 紧靠
B. interested in
C. moved by
D. worried about

核心考点
举一反三
My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would
guess at what I thought was the correct answer.
When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears,
Mommy." She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again
soon."
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the
correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our
eyes." She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are
many people who are blind."
Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No, but you are
getting smarter every year, my child."
Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me
when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important
body part yet, my dear? " I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game
between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It
shows that you have really lived your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most
important body part is your shoulder." I asked, "Is it because it holds up your head?" She replied, "No, it is
because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry.
Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love
and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it." Then and there I knew the most
important body part is not a selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.

Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see
the world with your warm heart, you"ll find that the whole world smiles to you.
While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile
on your teacher"s face when you did a good job?
One day it is fine. Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel
very sad and start complaining about the weather. But dear friends, why don"t you sit down and listen to
the free concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely (及时的) rain, crops in the fields will
grow better and better and farmers will have a better harvest.
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure (失败) can"t be avoided.
I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face
failure, we must be confident (信心) of ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish
what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, "Failure is the mother of success."
Attitude (态度) decides everything. With an optimistic (乐观) attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let"s
smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.

C. they see the world with their heart
D. life is tiring
B. the teachers will be happy if the students do good jobs
C. the teachers don"t like their teaching
D. the teachers are tired of their work
B. you can listen to a concert
C. crops in the fields will grow better
D. farmers can"t have a good harvest

D. all of the above

house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons
from his experiences. He always told me,"You should have goals like climbing the mountain." Without the
mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn"t have enough time to spend together because my father
was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be
in deep thought as well as develop my patience.
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old.
During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds" singing. But as time
passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, "You can always
see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can"t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you
see all of the nice things, which is just like your life."
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of
hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.
