阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,从文后所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出一个可以填入空白处的最佳答案。
  My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other      , including her“sixth sense”, that she rarely gives the impression that she"s       anything.
  Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us,     that she doesn"t push too hard on them,        really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that        often don"t realize she"s blind.
  I    this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very      about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was      excited about her finger-painting project.
  “Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to       colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle      with us”. 
  To my great      , my child had learned about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my      showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really       what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt       Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
  I realized Kayla didn"t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never       in conversation. When I told my daughter that Michelle was blind, she was       for a moment. At first, she didn"t believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla      . And I knew my child was      because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Michelle had also heard Kayla"s      in her work.
  We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my       .”
  Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

Bob was the only boy who came to school dressed untidily and sat in the class completely lost in his own world. His performance had been deteriorating gradually with every single day.
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.

So tired as I was, I bothered myself to open up my cafe shop on the cold morning. With many consumers streaming in, I knew another long business day began. And I had to serve far into the night.
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 arrived in the classroom,ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English literature class.Having taught in the US for 17 years,I had no      about my ability to hold their attention and to  on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
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.
My students    diaries.However,as I read them,the happy mood was gradually    by a strong sense of sadness.The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.    her next lecture will be better.”Greatly surprised,I read diary after diary,each expressing a     theme.“Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework (哲学体系) of Western thought and laid the historical    for all the works we’ll study in class,” I complained.“How    they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term,and it      became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as    of my students.I thought a teacher’s job was to raise    questions and provide enough background so that students could _  their own conclusions.My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide      information as directly and clearly as possible.What a difference!
  ,I also learnt a lot,and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a_  American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

When I was fourteen, I earned money in the summer by cutting lawns (草坪), and within a few weeks I had built up a body of customers. I got to know people by the flowers they planted that I had to remember not to cut down, by the things they lost in the grass or stuck in the ground on purpose. I reached the point with most of them when I knew in advance what complaint was about to be spoken, which particular request was most important. And I learned something about the measure of my neighbors by their preferred method of payment: by the job, by the month—or not at all.
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3:The following year the author _________.
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
