This was our time,our senior year. My best friend Beth and I had big dreams…But in my world of “big dreams” this one small       freshman did not appear on my radar(关注范围). My best friend Beth was the first to       her.
“Kristi,did you see the girl standing by us in the lunch line --- she looks so      ,so out of place.” We had heard of a family that had just       to our town from the country of Cambodia. We knew there was supposed to be a       girl at our school from that family,but we had yet to meet her until now.
Leourn was a small dark-haired beauty. She       with the little English she knew and that made it very       for her to get to know people in our small town.Every day Leourn kept her eyes fixed on the       and we never,ever saw her      .
What could we do to help Leourn?With       and faith,we decided to let her know that there were people who      . We sought out Leourn in the halls and said “ Hi ” and tried to continue to engage her in      . Leourn responded to us with smiles and small talk.
When Valentine’s Day(情人节) came,I       thought of Leourn and decided I would send her a      for the holiday. Thinking that she was       learning our language and customs,I simply wrote, “Happy Valentine’s Day,Leourn. Your friend Kristi.”
I will       forget that Valentine’s Day.
For the       time,Leourn was the one who       me out. She found me in the hall with the carnation(康乃馨)in her hands. Then she did something       .She actually took her eyes off the floor,looked up at me with beautiful eyes and in a       whisper said two words: “Thank You.”
It was a life-changing moment for me.

核心考点
试题【This was our time,our senior year. My best friend Beth and I had big dreams…But 】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
It was my first day of high school, and I was late. My next class, Spanish, scared me. I just could not speak that language. As the bell rang, I ran to the classroom.
At the door, a hand reached out and shook mine firmly. I looked up. A man with large glasses smiled. He introduced himself as Profe, which means teacher in Spanish. Right away, his warm smile and welcoming words eased my fears. That year, I enjoyed his classes a great deal because I learned more than just Spanish.
I admit I only speak a little Spanish. But I try to live out the life lessons I learned from Profe. Every day Profe stood outside his classroom before and after class to give his “hand hug”. After school his room was always filled with students and he would talk to and chat with them--even those not in his class. He taught me that every person is worth your time.
One time, I was rejected(排挤)by my friends, Profe told me, “Linda, life gives you ashes. But learning its lessons will turn those ashes to jewels.” Therefore, I learned to look at my troubles differently and not to fear any difficulty.
In my senior year, I became president of one of the school’s clubs, so I was very busy. Many times I didn’t even have time to buy lunch. He served me by giving me his food as well as advice. He lived out what he taught us to do: serve others.
The author William Arther Ward wrote: “The mediocre(平庸的) teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” Thank you , Profe, for inspiring me.

A.The writer was on time for his first day of high school.
B.The writer didn’t like Profe’s class.
C.The writer could speak Spanish fluently.
D.The writer learned life truth from Profe’s class.
小题2:How did Profe treat his class and his students?
A.He was very stict with his students.
B.He only talked with those students in his class.
C.He lived out what he taught in class.
D.He never inspired his students.
小题3:What can we learn from the passage?
A.The writer benefited a lot from Profe’s class.
B.The writer was good at spanish in the end.
C.Profe treated students differently according to their grades.
D.Profe was not a superior teacher.
小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?

“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right” says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh,Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie’s opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story,which is what every writer should be doing. “If you aren’t telling a story, you’re a very dead writer indeed.” She says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain,Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,” she says. “This love goes back to early childhood. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and,because my family always had dogs,and I was very good at handling them,I said I wanted to work with dogs,and the teacher always said  ‘Nonsense,Mollie;dear,you’ll be a writer.’ So finally I thought that this woman must have something,since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.”
This childhood intention is described in her novel,A Sound of Chariots,which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably (不可避免地) brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields—sadly now covered with modern houses. “I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I’ll never go back,”she said “Never. When I set one of my books in Scotland” she said “I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields,or watching the village blacksmith at work. And that’s important because children now know so much so early that romance can’t exist for them, as it did for us.”
小题1:What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?
A.It should not aim at a narrow audience.
B.It should be attractive to young readers.
C.It should be based on original ideas.
D.It should not include too much conversation.
小题2:In Mollie Hunter’s opinion,which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?
A.Being poor in life experience.
B.Being short of writing skills.
C.The weakness of description.
D.The absence of a story.
小题3:What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child?
A.She didn’t expect to become a writer.
B.She didn’t enjoy writing stories.
C.She didn’t have any particular ambitions.
D.She didn’t respect her teacher’s views.
小题4:What’s the writer’s purpose in this text?
A.To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s books.
B.To introduce Mollie Hunter’s work to a wider audience.
C.To provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers.
D.To describe Mollie Hunter’s most successful books.
