　　I had worried myself sick over Simon’s mother coming to see me. I was a new

　　21

　　, and I gave an honest account of the students’ work. In Simon’s case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn’t read his own handwriting.

　　22

　　he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his

　　23

　　.

　　So when Simon’s mother entered the room, my palms(手掌心) were sweating. I was completely

　　24

　　for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech.

　　25

　　me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he

　　26

　　me, he had began to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had

　　27

　　spent an afternoon at a friend’s house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the

　　28

　　I had nurtured(培养) in her son. She kissed me again and left.

　　I sat, stunned (惊呆), for about half an hour,

　　29

　　what had just happened. How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without

　　30

　　knowing it? What I finally came to

　　31

　　was one day, several months before, when some students were

　　32

　　reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke

　　33

　　, and to encourage her to raise her voice, L had sai, “Speak up. Simon’s the expert on this. He is the

　　34

　　one you have to convince, and he can’t hear you in the

　　35

　　of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention,

　　36

　　more, and became happy. And it was all because he

　　37

　　to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed

　　38

　　was the one who took the last seat that day.

　　It taught me the most

　　39

　　lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I’m thankful that it came

　　40

　　and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.

　　The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan

　　The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often

　　36

　　about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.

　　All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who

　　37

　　that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with american kids. I looked down at this

　　38

　　girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.

　　But how could I help her

　　39 in with us? There had to be a

　　40

　　.

　　One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had

　　41 her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n)

　　42

　　copy.

　　I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming

　　43 show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had

　　44

　　. “why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted

　　45

　　the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough

　　46

　　. Could you help me, Suzy?

　　On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s

　　47

　　were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.

　　“And finally,” said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n)___48___ award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students

　　49

　　them.”

　　I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw

　　50

　　well?”

　　Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “

　　51

　　this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a

　　52

　　,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”

　　Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.

　　I

　　53

　　, at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never

　　54

　　anything in her whole life.

　　Everyone started to

　　55

　　their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was defening. I knew then Suzy was going to ne all right. ”

　　As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and drive off, I __40__ an old man on a bicycle with a bucket on its __41__ and a basket of rags and bottles on its back­carriage. He __42__ from one car to another, washing and cleaning them. From the water on the ground, it seemed that he had already __43__ washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars. He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.

　　Several thoughts __44__ my mind as I watched him work. He wasn't well­dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(n) __45__ T­shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern __46__would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed __47__ with life. There he was, working hard at his small business, __48__ at passers­by and stopping to chat now and then __49__ elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.

　　There was a noticeable touch of __50__ in the way he seemed to be doing things— __51__ the windscreen(挡风玻璃)，then standing back to admire it; scrubbing(擦净) the wheels and __52__， standing back to see what they looked like after the scrub.

　　It was a __53__ to learn, I felt. At no age need one have to beg for a __54__ if one has good health and is willing to work hard. For a while I felt __55__ of myself. Young as I am—just sixteen, and there was this old man who must have been usefully engaged perhaps before the sun appeared above the horizon.

　　【要点综述】本文为一篇夹叙夹议的文章，主要介绍了一天作者站在自家的窗户前观望时，看到一个老人通过自己的劳动赚取所得，由此受到启发，只要一个人身体健康且勤劳，他在任何年龄都不需要靠乞讨为生。

　　36. B　由on holidays以及后文提到的我会充分利用这一睡觉的时间可知，在假期母亲应该是允许(allow)我睡懒觉。force意为“强迫”；cause意为“引起”；forbid意为“禁止”。

　　37. C　由前文“睡懒觉”以及本句“在这个特别的早上，我想早起些”，可知前后为转折关系，故选C项，however意为“然而”，符合语境。otherwise意为“否则”；therefore意为“因此”；besides意为“而且，还有”。

　　38. A　由下一段第一句“As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and drive off …”可知作者应该是观望下面的停车场。

　　39. D　由最后一段作者得出的感悟可知，作者应该是了解了一些在生活中有用的(useful)东西。

　　40. A　我往下看时，应该是注意到(notice)了一个老人……

　　41. B　由后文提到自行车后有一篮子布条和瓶子，那么桶应该是挂在自行车的把手上。handle意为“把手”，符合语境。

　　42. C　由后文的“from one car to another”可知他应该是从一辆车移动到(move)另一辆车。search意为“寻找”；leave意为“离开”；wander意为“徘徊，漫游”，一般指漫无目的地走动，不符合语境。

　　43. D　由already以及a dozen or more cars可知此处指他已经完成了(finish)很多辆车的清洗工作。

　　44. A　当我看着他工作时，几种想法在脑海里交替出现(cross)。slip意为“滑”；disturb意为“打扰”；inspire意为“激励”。

　　45. C　由前一句中的“He wasn’t well­dressed.”可知，他穿着简单。

　　46. D　由本句中的the bicycle可知此处应该是现在的骑车人(cyclist)不想被看到骑他那种自行车。

　　47. B　此句为上一句的转折句，再结合后一句“… working hard at his small business … stopping to chat now and then …”可推知他对自己的生活是感到满意的(content)。

　　48. A　由后文的语境“他时不时停下来和附近去市场的老人交谈”可知，他应该是朝路人招手(wave)。

　　49. C　表示“和某人交谈”用chat … with。

　　50. D　由后文“… then standing back to admire it … standing back to see what they looked like after the scrub.”可知他擦完后，还会往后站，看车子擦过后的样子，可推出他应该是对自己做的工作有一丝自豪。

　　51. A　由第三段的“… washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars.”可知此处应该说擦洗(clean)挡风玻璃。

　　52. C　由前一句“then standing back to admire it”可知此处指他再次往后站欣赏车子。

　　53. A　由后一句“At no age need one have to beg for a …”可知这是一条教训(lesson)。

　　54. B　乞讨是为了求生(living)。

　　55. D　由后一句“Young as I am …”可知相比之下，作者感到羞愧。
