SANTA MONICA，Calif，(KABC)—A Santa Monica High School teacher who was put on leave after using physical force to control a student who was selling marijuana(大麻) in his classroom has received surprising support on Facebook.The incident was captured on video and has caused a sudden reaction from parents，teachers，students and even graduates.They are showing their support for Black.A Facebook page supporting “Coach Black” has over 4,700 likes.And many want him back in the classroom.
Student witnesses say Mark Black，who is also the wrestling coach，tried to confiscate(没收) a bag of marijuana and was then injured by the student with a pencil.The cellphone video shows Black locking the student’s leg and pinning the student to the ground.“He just want him to stop and he was trying to be a teacher and help，and I don’t think it was his fault，”said student Kylan Townsend.
School Board member Oscar De La Torre says Mr.Black is one of his teachers at Santa Monica High School.“I know him very well.I know him to be a fair person，a good person，someone who cares deeply about his students，”said De La Torre.He says that the video does not tell the whole story and that the incident brings to light the issue of drug use，something the district needs to address.
But in an email to parents，Santa MonicaMalibu Unified School District Superintendent Sandra Lyon says the teacher’s behavior is “absolutely alarming”．She put Black on leave during an independent investigation.
Lyon has come under fire from parents for initially saying the kind of physical action used by the teacher was unacceptable.On Saturday，Lyon released the following statement to Eyewitness News：“I want to stress that teachers are at times confronted with difficulty，even threatening situations，and they must make judgment calls to protect safety.I want to emphasize that putting the teacher who was involved in this incident on leave until completion of an independent investigation is a matter of standard policy and practice；it in no way prejudices the outcome of the investigation.”
Stuents hope the situation will have a quick and just resolution.An online petition(请愿书) has also been created by one of Black’s former students.The petition has already gained thousands of signatures.
Black did not respond to a request for comment.

（2016高考阅读理解）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。
It’s a tradition that dates back to the 1930s’ and it’s designed to give all children in Finland，no matter what background they’re from，an equal start in life.
The maternity(母性) package—a gift from the government—is available to all expectant mothers.It contains bodysuits，a sleeping bag，outdoor gear，bathing products for the baby as well as nappies，bedding and a small mattress.
With the mattress at the bottom，the box becomes a baby’s first bed.Many children，from all social backgrounds，have their first naps within the safety of the box’s four cardboard walls.
The tradition dates back to 1938.At first，the scheme was only available to families on low incomes，but that changed in 1949.In the 1930s Finland was a poor country and the infant death rate was high—65 out of 1,000 babies died.But the figure decreased rapidly in the decades that followed.Over 75 years，the box has been an established part of the Finnish rite(仪式) of a passage to motherhood，uniting generations of women.
Reija Klemetti，a 49yearold woman from Helsinki，remembers going to the post office to receive a box for one of her children.“My partner Milla and I were living in London when we had our first child，Jasper，so we weren’t eligible(有资格) for a free box.But Milla’s parents didn’t want us to miss out，so they bought one and put it in the post office.We couldn’t wait to open the box.There were all the clothes I had expected，with the addition of a snowsuit for Finland’s cold winter.”
“We now live in Helsinki and have just had our second child，Annika.She did get a free box，from the Finnish government.This felt to me like evidence that someone cared—someone wanted our baby to have a good start in life，” Reija Klemetti said.
1．In Finland the maternity package is probably seen as a symbol of
.
A．wealth
B．equality
C．pride
D．fame
2．The fourth paragraph implies that
.
A．the rich refused to use the boxes
B．there were not enough boxes at first
C．the boxes were given to poor families only
D．the boxes helped cut down the death rate of babies
3．Why couldn’t Reija Klemetti get a free box when her first child was born?
A．They were not citizens of Finland.
B．They lived outside Finland.
C．They didn’t apply for the box.
D．They had got one from their neighbors.
4．What did Reija Klemetti want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A．A free box came at last.
B．She was longing for a free box for her child.
C．She returned to Finland to get a free box.
D．The free box gave her a feeling of warmth.
1．B [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...it’s designed to give all children in Finland，no matter what background they’re from，an equal start in life.”可知在芬兰出生的所有婴儿都是平等的，都可以得到一个宝宝箱，故选B。]
2．D [段落大意题。根据第四段中的“In the 1930s Finland was a poor country and the infant death rate was high—65 out of 1,000 babies died.But the figure decreased rapidly in the decades that followed.”可知使用了宝宝箱之后，芬兰的新生儿死亡率下降了，故选D。]
3．B [细节理解题。根据第五段中的“My partner Milla and I were living in London when we had our first child，Jasper，so we weren’t eligible(有资格) for a free box.”可知不出生在芬兰的新生儿不能得到免费的宝宝箱，故选B。]
4．D [细节理解题。根据最后一段的“This felt to me like evidence that someone cared—someone wanted our baby to have a good start in life，”可知Reija Klemetti觉得很温暖，故选D。]
（2016高考阅读理解）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。
An old man in a faded yellow shirt sat in a windowless room on a raised concrete form.The only source of heat came from somewhere beneath the plastic mattress and the rough blanket the blankfaced police woman had handed him after taking his thumb prints.He heard voices and metallic clang as the cell door swung open.
At the front desk a tired looking policeman handed the old man back his belongings，his wornout cap and the Seiko watch that had stopped working the day his beloved Evelyn left.The policeman dramatically held the blue plastic bag at an arm’s length to the old man who took it and made sure its contents were undamaged：the goat meat，palm oil，leaves and spices.He ignored the confused expression on the officer’s face and signed the document declaring he had been returned the possessions they had taken off him the night before.
No one spoke to him as he walked slowly towards the exit.
“Mr.Easynwa？”he stopped and prayed to God who now took care of Evelyn to please take him far away from this unhappy place of expressionless faces，clipped accents and people who did not even attempt to pronounce his name right.
“Ezenwa，”he said and looked at a woman with tangerine lips，her name tag said Jessica Harlow，Social Services.“A bit far from home，”she said as she drove fast and with confidence the way Evelyn used to.He wondered if she meant the 50 miles from Liverpool or the 50,000 miles from Enugu，a city in Nigeria.He did not bother replying as this woman had plenty to say about the weather，bad drivers，her daughter’s school play...
At last she drew up outside the block of flats where he lived.
“Got here in the end，”said she seriously，“Really Mr.Easynwa，if you keep getting lost，we will have to consider moving you into a home.”
“No need.I was not lost，” he answered.He carefully rolled up the sleeves of the oversize bomber jacket he wore and turned on the tap to wash his hands，relieved the pipes were not frozen.In a clean pan he placed the chopped pieces of goat meat.The herbs and spices that had taken him three months to track down，the uziza seeds had taken him into the heart of Granby Market in Liverpool，his uchanwu leaves down a shady back alley in Manchester，and yesterday，among other food items，the finest goat meat from a Sierra Leonean Butcher in Birmingham.That had taken some time，so much that he missed the last train and when the police found him shivering outside the locked up station，he was so cold that he couldn’t answer loudly enough the pinkfaced big copper who yelled in his face，“What’s your name sir？”spraying his face with spittle(唾沫) as he did so，leaving them with no choice but to search an exhausted，frozen old black man and finding him in possession of mysterious condiments(调味品) including a bag of dried bitterleaf which could of course be mistaken for anything that resulted in him getting charged with...possession.
He lifted the lid of the bubbling soup，the room was filled with the rich and spicy scent of his culinary(烹饪的) effort.He served two bowls，taking the chipped one and placing the other opposite where Evelyn would have sat.He would tell her about his adventure.It was their anniversary and this was the perfect pepper soup to celebrate.
