Ms Miller searched through the progress reports of Bob and was shocked to see Bob used to be the topper in his class. Bob"s performance began to slowly decline when his mother fell ill. He was doing badly in each and every subject when his mother died leaving him alone with his father, who was a businessman and had to travel always. Apart from his performance worsening gradually, Bob"s nature too began to change. He had forgotten to laugh and showed no interest in any activity. All his friends had abandoned him.
One day, Bob was asked to stay back.Ms Miller asked him if he had any problem understanding his lessons. Gradually she began to give him a comfort zone so that he could talk and share. After three weeks, she found Bob gradually improving. He was being able to answer the questions he previously failed. Every day after all the students went away, Ms Miller gave personal attention to Bob and began to spend time with him. Bob improved a lot over the next semester, showing definite signs of progress in his performance.
On a Friday, Bob came up to Ms Miller, handed her a box and requested her to open the box on Sunday. On Sunday morning, curious, she opened it and saw a bottle of perfume, half filled. Together with it was a small letter, saying that this bottle of perfume used to be his mother"s and he wished Ms Miller to wear it so that every time she was around, he could feel his Mom near him. He thanked her for everything. Ms Miller took the bottle of perfume in her hand and saw a new tag attached to it; it said "Happy Mother"s Day”!

As I rushed among the tables, suddenly, a asked if I could mind a child. I was quite but I could tell the man was quite desperate（绝望的）. So I had to make a with him that if he wanted his son to stay and wait for him, he had to something in the shop.
This was quite for the man to do; I could he was quite poor by the he was dressed. It looked as if he had tried to come in his clothes. But they still looked a bit old and worn out he had often worn them, just to make himself look best. Looking down I could see his were also a bit shabby（破旧的）and the heels（鞋后跟）were in a terrible state. I thought he was going for a job interview. In the end he bought a small box of for his little son and seated him down in the corner. I could tell the boy was feeling down and only could with a bit of cheering up.
Seeing that the kid sat there for quite a while, I was a bit as the poor little kid was sitting his own. People watched him and some kids even came over to pick on him. I was to see one of them even knocked his cookies off the table. He quickly went and got them back without saying a word. I was hoping his father would up and come back for his son"s .
At closing time, the only person left was the little boy. After a while, the father finally came in with a tiresome look. I he didn"t get any job. As they were leaving, I offered the kid a little cake, but the man rejected（拒绝）it. I he felt as if I had just abused（虐待）him. Of course I didn"t mean to. But I could understand why he felt like that. I only wished them good whatever happened.
The man opened the door to leave — father and son hand in hand.

I was shocked when the monitor shouted，“ !” The entire class rose as I entered the room，and I was somewhat about how to get them to sit down again，but once that awkwardness (尴尬) was over，I quickly calmness and began what I thought was a fact—packed lecture，sure to gain their respect—perhaps their admiration．I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a(n) of achievement．

Mr. Ballou fell into the last category, and he always had a reason why. On one day, he had no change for a fifty, on another he was flat out of checks, and on another, he was simply out when I knocked on his door. Still, except for the money, he was a nice enough guy, always waving or tipping his hat when he’d seen me from a distance. I figured it was a thin retirement check, or maybe a work-related injury that kept him from doing his own yard work. Surely, I kept record of the total, but I didn’t worry about the amount too much. Grass was grass, and Mr. Ballou’s property didn’t take long to trim (修剪).
Then, one late afternoon in mid-July, the hottest time of the year, I was walking by his house and he opened the door, mentioned me to come inside. The hall was cool, shaded, and it took my eyes a minute to adjust to the dim light.
“I owe you,” Mr. Ballou, “but…”
I thought I’d save him the trouble of thinking of a new excuse. “No problem. Don’t worry about it.”
“The bank made a mistake in my account,” he continued, ignoring my words. “It will be cleared up in a day or two. But in the meantime I thought perhaps you could choose one or two volumes for a down payment (首期付款).
He gestured toward the walls and I saw that books were stacked (堆放) everywhere. It was like a library, except with no order to the arrangement.
“Take your time,” Mr. Ballou encouraged. “Read, borrow, keep. Find something you like. What do you read?”
“I don’t know.” And I didn’t. I generally read what was in front of me, what I could get from the paperback stacked at the drugstore, what I found at the library, magazines, the back of cereal boxes, comics. The idea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me, but, I realized, not without appeal-- so I started to look through the piles of books.
“You actually read all of these?”
“This isn’t much,” Mr. Ballou said. “This is nothing, just what I’ve kept, the ones worth looking at a second time.”
“Pick for me, then.”
He raised his eyebrows, cocked his head, and regarded me as though measuring me for a suit. After a moment, he nodded, searched through a stack, and handed me a dark red hardbound (精装本) book, fairly thick.
“The Last of the Just,” I read. “By Andre Schwarz-Bart. What’s it about?”
“You tell me,” he said. “Next week.”
I started after supper, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair. Within a few pages, the yard, the summer, disappeared, and I was thrown into the aching tragedy of the Holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, represented by one decent man, and evil. Translated from French, the language was elegant, simple, impossible to resist. When the evening light finally failed I moved inside, reading all through the night.
To this day, thirty years later, I vividly remember the experience. It was my first voluntary encounter (接触、遇到) with world literature, and I was stunned (震惊) by the concentrated power a novel could contain. I lacked the vocabulary, however, to translate my feelings into words. So the next week when Mr. Ballou asked, “Well?” I only replied, “It was good.”
“Keep it, then,” he said. “Shall I suggest another?”
I nodded, and was presented with the paperback (平装本) edition of Margaret Mead’s Coming of Age in Samoa ( a very important book on the study of the social and cultural development of peoples-- anthropology (人类学)).
To make two long stories short, Mr. Ballou never paid me a cent for cutting his grass that year or the next, but for fifteen years I taught anthropology at Dartmouth College. Summer reading was not the innocent entertainment I had assumed it to be, not a light-hearted, instantly forgettable escape in a hammock (吊床) (though I have since enjoyed many of those, too). A book, if it arrives before you at the right moment, in the proper season, at an internal in the daily business of things, will change the course of all that follows.
小题1:The author found the first book Mr. Ballou gave him _________.
| A．light-hearted and enjoyable |
| B．dull but well written |
| C．impossible to put down |

| B．did not do much reading |

| A．started studying anthropology at college |
| B．continued to cut Mr. Ballou’s lawn |
| C．spent most of his time lazing away in a hammock |
| D．had forgotten what he had read the summer before |
| A．summer jobs are really good for young people |
| B．you should insist on being paid before you do a job |
| C．a good book can change the direction of your life |
| D．a book is like a garden carried in the pocket |

Dad’s also always been very . At 15, I started a magazine. It was a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a ：stay in school or leave to work on my magazine.
