After giving us a 14 to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, "Why do you need a 15 ?" I

举一反三
Manigault, the wife of my mother"s brother Bill. She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School
in Camden, New Jersey.
During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she
listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn"t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps.
She took me to the theatre - not just children"s theatre but adult comedies and dramas - and her faith that
I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.
My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at
home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor, and I"ll never
forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis"s Archy & Mehitabel through her.
Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer
herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a "youth columnist". My
column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities - and it did-but it
also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the
discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of
published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.
Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her "favorite niece". Like a diamond, she has
reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.
B. She developed her taste for music.
C. She introduced her to adult plays.
D. She discovered her talent for dancing.
B. A book of great fun.
C. A serious masterpiece.
D. A heartbreaking play.
B. develop her capabilities for writing
C. involve her in teenage social activities
D. offer her a series of writing jobs
B. I trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined
C. emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils.
D. helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning

needed was a huge achievement. I discovered that people 15 wanted to help, but they didn"t know how. My 16 opened the door for them to give the support they wanted to share.
Three years have passed since that time. I sold my 17 and my house and chose to return to the
state of my birth, where my family once lived. I 18 to ask for help from my 19 of family, friends, and
colleagues because I am driven to a life of simplicity and joy, and I know I won"t get there alone. And

The curious child reached up to get the wire of a hot kettle in the kitchen and poured boiling water over
her body.
Her mother Ruby called an ambulance which rushed her to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Amie" s body had been burned and all of her bums were third-degree. There, using tissue taken from unburned
areas of Amie" s body, doctors performed complex skin grafts (移植) to close her wounds and control
her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Amie had 12 more operations to repair her body.
When she started school at age 4 , other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn"t play with
her." I was the only burned child in the street," she recalled, " some children refused to become friends
because of that."
Today, age 17, Amie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent
part of her body. She still has to have two further skin grafts. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager
who offers inspiration and hope to other young bums victims. She is a member of the Scottish Burned
Children"s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Amie will be joining the younger children at the
Graff ham Water Center for the charity" s first summer camp. "I"ll show them how to treat others" unkind
stares as unimportant and not worry about them," she says. Amie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless
tops, and she plans to show the younger children at the summer camp that they can too." I do not go to
great lengths to hide my burns scars," she says, "I gave up wondering how other people would react
years ago."

D. were afraid of her

Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then, an air hostess
approached me and asked, " Would you mind 1 your seat? A couple would like to sit together." The
only 2 seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts (石膏绷带), a black-and-blue face, and a sad
expression. " 3 am I going to sit there," I thought immediately. But a soft voice spoke, "She needs
help." Finally, I 4 to move to that seat.
The girl was named Kathy. She 5 hurt in a car accident and now was on her way for 6 .
When the snack and juice arrived, it did not take me long to 7 that Kathy would not be able to
8 herself. I considered 9 to feed her but hesitated, as it seemed too 10 to offer a service to a
11 . But then I realized that Kathy"s need was more 12 than my discomfort. I offered to help her
eat, and 13 she was uncomfortable to accept, she 14 as I expected. We became closer and
closer in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart 15 , and the 16 was
really better spent than if I had just sat by myself.
I was very glad I had reached 17 my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her. Love 18

children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.
But that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named
Teddy Stoddard. Mrs Thompson noticed that he didn"t play well with the other children, that his clothes
were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point
where Mrs Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making
bold X"s and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers.
However, when she reviewed his file, she got a surprise.
Teddy"s first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work
neatly and has good manners…, he is a joy to be around ."
His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is
troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle."
His third grade teacher wrote, " His mother"s death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but
his father doesn"t show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren"t taken."
Teddy"s fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn"t show much interest in school.
He doesn"t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."
Now, Mrs Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her students brought her
beautifully wrapped Christmas presents. Teddy"s present, however, was clumsily wrapped in rough
brown grocery paper. Taking her time she opened it to reveal Teddy"s gifts, a shinestone bracelet with
stones missing and a quarter full perfume bottle. How the children laughed! " What a pretty bracelet! Mm,
lovely
perfume! Perfect on my wrist." The children were silent.Alone together, after school, Teddy told Mrs Thompson, " Today you smelled just like my Mom used
to …" His teacher cried all night and,from that day, she stopped teaching reading, writing ,and arithmetic
and began to teach children instead.
