My tire was flat. And I was on a country road. When I      with the tire, a car pulled off the road behind me. I saw a male      and said, “Hey, do you need any help?”
  I literally was     . This young guy was dressed in black. Nearly everything imaginable was tattooed(纹身). When he asked to give me a     , I      someone sitting in his car. That      me. Thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind.
Then, it began to     . It hit like a waterfall and made it      to finish the tire change. With the car jacked(千斤顶托起) up, I was      to get in my car. “Get in my car” he insisted, “We’ll wait with you until the rain stops.” “No. I don’t need your help.” I said. “Come on. Get in.” he said as he      my arm and pulled me toward his car. “Oh, God, protect me!” I      to myself.
As I settled into the back seat, suddenly a delicate      came from the front seat of the car. “Are you all right?” “Yes, I am,” I replied with much      seeing an old woman there. “My name is Beatrice and this is my neighbor John. John takes me to visit my husband in a nursing home every day. He is a really nice guy.”
“John, I had thought you were, well, ah, you know I…” Embarrassment      my words. John laughed, “I often experienced      reaction. I actually thought about changing the way I look.      then I saw it as an opportunity to see others.”
He was right. What he wore outside was just a      of the world as he saw it, but what he wore      was the spirit of giving and caring the world he wanted to see. I never believed that I should       people by the way they dressed. I was     with myself for what I did.
The rain stopped and John and I changed the tire. As we shook hands I apologized for my stupidity.

举一反三
It was her giggling(咯咯的笑)that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn’t all that funny.
  Walking over to the offender, I asked for the    . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet     between teacher and student. When she finally    it over, she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it.”
  It was a hand-drawn    of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.
   I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind,      , was working angrily as I struggled not to      . I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture. It would do them some    to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
  Thankfully, I was able to keep myself    .
  When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how    this was for me. I told them there must be a reason    and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffed in the back of the classroom.
   As I    the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you.” or “I’m sorry you were hurt.” Some kids said, “We’re    of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I    were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too    , too strict…
  Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of    my students, I had begun commanding them to    . Where I thought I was driving them to success, I was       driving them away.
  I had some apologies to make. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one    by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for      .
  This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the    .

This place was darker than I expected, and, in spite of the rain, dirtier. Used to the life of rural Puerto Rico(波多黎各), I had to adjust to the similarly arranged, aggressive two-dimensionality of New York. Everywhere I looked, my eyes met gray and brown straight-edged buildings with sharp corners and deep shadows. Every few blocks there was a cement(水泥) playground surrounded by chain-link fence.
A girl came out of the building next door, a jump rope in her hand, and she hopped over. “Are you Hispanic?” she asked. “No, I’m Puerto Rican.” “Same thing. Puerto Rican, Hispanic. That’s what we are here.” She skipped a tight circle, stopped abruptly, and shoved the rope in my direction. “Want a turn?”
“Sure.” I hopped on one leg, then the other. “So, if you’re Puerto Rican, they call you Hispanic?”
“Yeah. Anybody who speaks Spanish.”
I jumped a circle, as she had done, but faster. “You mean, if you speak Spanish, you’re Hispanic?”
“Well, yeah. No . . . I mean your parents have to be Puerto Rican or Cuban or something.”
“Okay, your parents are Cuban, let’s say, and you’re born here, but you don’t speak Spanish. Are you Hispanic?”
“I guess so,” she finally said. “It has to do with being from a Spanish country. I mean, you or your parents, like, even if you don’t speak Spanish, you’re Hispanic, you know?” She looked at me uncertainly. But I didn’t know. I’d always been Puerto Rican, and it hadn’t occurred to me that in New York I’d be someone else.
Later, I asked. “Are we Hispanics, Mami?” “Yes, because we speak Spanish.” “But a girl said you don’t have to speak the language to be Hispanic.” “What girl? Where did you meet a girl?” “Outside. She lives in the next building.” “Who said you could go out to the sidewalk? This isn"t Puerto Rico. Something could happen to you.”
I listened to Mami’s lecture with depressed eyes and the necessary respect. But inside, I quaked. Two days in New York, and I’d already become someone else. It wasn’t hard to imagine that greater dangers lay ahead.
小题1:The first paragraph suggests that the author experienced New York as      .
A.mysterious and unknowable
B.regular and depressing
C.orderly and appealing
D.impressive and dangerous
小题2:For the author, being considered Hispanic represents      .

D.life was more restricted in Puerto Rico
小题4:The author’s mood can best be described as

A time capsule buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs 30 years ago has been discovered after its location was long forgotten.In 1983, the young tech innovator was attending a conference in Aspen when he and the group decided to bury as a stunt during a design convention.
The tube that was filled with an eclectic collection of goods- ranging from the then-new apple mouse to a six-pack of beer for the people who discovered the time capsule- was meant to be dug up 20 years later.
There was a problem with that plan, however, as everyone involved forgot where it was buried.
The final discovery happened at the hands of the crew from the National Geographic Channel`s reality show called Diggers.The discovery was well documented and is surely going to be featured on an upcoming episode, and even the experts had problems finding this particular treasure.
CNET reports that in spite of their preparations and clear idea of where the 13-foot-long tube was, it still took them two hours to dig it up using heavy machinery.
To anyone removed from the tech industry, the accomplishment in finding the tube appears to be the biggest accomplishment. To others, the most interesting object would likely be the `Lisa` mouse placed in the tube by the hands of a then-28-year-old Jobs.The Lisa Mouse, which Jobs named after his daughter, was one of the first commercial computer mice soled publicly, making it a rarity at the time.
The Aspen Historical Society is going to help the show creators catalogue the tube`s contents- but no word yet whether or not the Diggers cracked open one of the six bottles of Boddington`s Ale that was left inside for the people who found the tube.
小题1:Who found the time capsule buried by Steve Jobs?
A.Apple founder Steve Jobs himself.
B.the crew from the National Geographic Channel`s reality show called Diggers.
C.Steve Jobs" friends.
D.Steve Jobs’ daughter.
小题2:Which is the best title of the passage ?
A.A time capsule buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs.
B.Steve Jobs" plan.
C.Steve Jobs" time capsule is uncovered.
D.The tube by Steve Jobs.
小题3:How old is Steve Jobs now?
A.58 years old .
B.20 years old.
C.30 years old.
D.48 years old.
