Question

【題目】The Sixth Time I Went to the Principal’s Office

When I was in the seventh grade, I had problems behaving. My heart was in the right place, but I

couldn’t always follow the rules. I played many tricks on my schoolmates. Once, I even pulled a girl’s hair

on the school bus to get her attention. As a result, I was repeatedly sent to the office of the principal（校長）.

Although I hated going there, I did not hate the principal, Mr. Ratcliff.

Mr. Ratcliff was a kind, elderly man. When he spanked（ 打屁股） me for putting some ants into a

classmate’s pencil box, it didn’t hurt at all, but it did hurt my feelings. I thought so much of him and

moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad.

When I got called to Mr. Ratcliff’s office for the sixth time, I had no idea what I had done. I felt

disappointed as I walked down there. I went into his office, sat down, and looked at the floor. Then he said

the last thing I expected to hear:” Kevin, I’ve heard you’ve been behaving really well lately. I want you to

know how proud I am of you, and I just called you down to my office to give you a peppermint.”

“Really?” I was surprised.

“Yes. Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class.”

I carried the peppermint with me as if it was a gold coin. When I got into my classroom, I bragged （ 吹噓） to my classmates about my turnaround,excitedly. I wasn’t so bad after all.

Mr. Ratcliff was really kind. He made me realize that I was just a kid who had problems with behavior.He bought some peppermints and took the time to notice me when I got something-anything-right. Mr.Ratcliff gave me some hope by giving me some love. I will just remember him for the rest of my life.
