When I was young, I wanted to be a teacher if I grew up, simply because I wanted to write on the chalkboard! My teacher seemed to be the __26___ printers, curving their letters just so, and I wanted to do it   27__! Now, after “higher education”, and three__28__ career paths, I have come back to want to be a ___29____, but my reasons have changed. I was __30___ in my years of high school, to have teachers that really ___31__ me as an individual, and I want to___32___this back.
A teacher’s gentleness needs to be shown when___33__ or encouraging the students. It is important to make the corrections in order for the students to learn. ___34___, this needs to be done in a ___35____ that will help to ___36____ the student to make the changes necessary, ___37___ discouraging them from learning. Being patient is also extremely important, because the class needs to know what to ____38____from the teacher. This will also help to build a better agreement with the students, and help both the teacher and students to learn more about each other.
If a teacher exhibits a true love of ___39___ and helping students learn, many of the qualities___40___above will just fall into place. The teacher that had the most ___41___on me had the best fame in the school. She was strict, and she did demand a lot, but she was able to show us it was ____42___ she cared for us. She knew each of us was worth it, and she knew we each could do it. She ___43___ knowledge, firmly, patiently, respectfully, and most effectively. She gently encouraged us to make ___44___ when we needed to, and ___45___ us when we did. She was a true teacher, not just someone who taught, and this is the kind of teacher I hope to be.

I knew I was all right now.  Nobody else would come a­hunting after me. I got my traps out of the canoe and made me a nice camp in the thick woods. I made a tent out of my blankets to put my things under so the rain couldn't get at them. I caught a catfish and towards sundown I started my camp fire and had supper.
When it was dark I sat by my camp fire, feeling pretty satisfied; but by and by it got sort of lonesome, so I went and sat on the bank and listened to the current crashing along, and counted the stars and drift logs and rafts that came down, and then went to bed; there was no better way to put in time when you are lonesome; you can't stay so, and you soon get it over.
And so for three days and nights. No difference—just the same thing. But the next day I went exploring around the island.  I was boss of it; it all belonged to me, and I wanted to know all about it; but mainly I wanted to spend the time. I found plenty of strawberries and green summer grapes; and the green blackberries were just beginning to show.
Well, I went fooling along in the deep woods till I judged I wasn't far from the foot of the island. I had my gun along, but I had shot nothing; it was for protection. About this time I almost stepped on a good­sized snake, and it moved quietly and smoothly through the grass and flowers, and I was after it, trying to get a shot at it. I clipped(疾馳) along, and all of a sudden I bounded(跳) right on to the ashes of a camp fire that was still smoking.
My heart jumped up among my lungs. I never waited to look further, but unlocked my gun and went sneaking back on my tiptoes as fast as I could. Every now and then I stopped a second among the thick leaves and listened, but my breath came so hard that I couldn't hear anything else. I moved quietly along another piece further, then listened again; and so on, and so on. If I saw a stump(樹樁), I took it for a man; if I stepped on a stick and broke it, it made me feel that a person had cut one of my breaths in two and I only got half, and the short half, too.
There was no time to be fooling around. When getting to the camp, I got all my traps into my canoe again to have them out of sight. I put out the fire and threw the ashes around to look like an old last year's camp, and then climbed a tree.
I suppose I was up for two hours; but I didn’t see or hear anything—I only thought I heard and saw as much as a thousand things. Well, I couldn’t stay up there forever, so at last I got down, but I kept in the thick woods and on the lookout all the time. All I could get to eat was berries and what was left over from breakfast.
小題1:The underlined part “put in time” in the second paragraph probably means _____.
A．kill the timeB．take the time
C．employ the timeD．waste the time
小題2:Why did the boy always carry his gun with him wherever he went?
A．To show off his gun.
B．To hunt some animals for food.
C．To protect himself.
D．To play with it for fun.
小題3:How did the boy feel when he saw the ashes of a camp fire that was still smoking?
A．Surprised. B．Excited.C．Frightened.D．Puzzled.
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The boy brought with himself a tent
B．The boy felt a bit lonely on the island.
C．The boy was surely the only person on the island at that time.
D．The boy might be bitten by some animal when the story happened.

One day, when I went shopping with Julie, we came across something special. Waiting in a long checkout line, I thought about going to another, which had the shortest queue. There was only one guy in it, but he was in a wheelchair. Well, we stepped in behind him. At first, he seemed to be having difficulty getting his groceries onto the checking desk. But after a while, I realized that what he was actually doing was separating them into two piles.
However, doing that job was no easy task in itself. I offered to help, but he and the checkout lady had it under control. He asked my wife if she would mind putting his empty basket away. What must it be like, I wondered, to be so dependent on other people like that? The checkout operator came around and gave him his change and the items he needed to have to hand. She hung one bag of groceries over a handle at the back of his chair. I offered to get the other, bigger, bag and he said, “No. But you could do me a favour. Take that lot along to the entrance and give it to Angela.”
As I was told, I did that, leaving Julie with our shopping. Angela, as turned out, was collecting food for people who might otherwise go hungry! I hadn't even noticed her before. This guy, despite the limitations that his physical condition imposed on him, had bought more than twice as much shopping as he needed – and given the bigger bag away to help other people! He didn't let the fact that he needed help stop him from being a help. He may have been limited physically, but his heart was more than capable of overcoming all that. And it changed my idea of dependence when I realized that the help he had given was more than the help he had received.
So … what’s holding the rest of us back?
小題1: From the first paragraph, we know that______.
A．the writer was obviously a disabled person
B．the man in a wheelchair was a shopper
C．the writer and Julie jumped the queue
D．only three people were shopping then
小題2: The man put the things he bought into two piles, probably because______.
A．his shopping bags were too small to hold all the groceries
B．he hoped to keep the balance of his wheelchair
C．he intended to help the people in need
D．it would be easy for him to carry
小題3: From the passage, we can learn that Angela was probably______.
A．the disabled person’s wife
B．the girl at the checking desk
C．a(chǎn) hungry and homeless beggar
D．a(chǎn) kind-hearted and helpful woman
小題4: Which of the following can best describe the man in the wheelchair?
A．kind, energetic and determined
B．positive, dependent and easy-going
C．a(chǎn)ctive, optimistic and open-minded
D．helpful, generous and strong-hearted

My favorite English teacher could draw humor out of the driest material. It wasn't forced on us either.  He took Samuel Johnson's dictionary, Addison's essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious, even at eight o'clock in the morning. The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, I couldn't believe that I hadn't seen the humor. The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions (典故) and irony (反諷) and hilarious moments. I learned more from him than from any other teacher.
My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be funny. Many others did not. He assigned journals over a six week period, to be written every day. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other's journals. Mine was passed to Joe, that class clown, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He saw it fit to make joke of and said, " This writing isn't fit to line (襯墊) the bottom of a birdcage. " Our teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.
So what makes the difference? Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. It is true that humor is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating.
小題1:The passage mainly discusses ________.
A．teachingB．literature
C．humorD．knowledge
小題2:The underlined word "hilarious" in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A．funnyB．tiring
C．inspiringD．brilliant
小題3:The English teacher the writer disliked most ________.
A．was not able to make students laugh
B．hurt his students' feelings
C．didn't let his students do the grading
D．had no sense of humor

When I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh．Whenever I was “bad”, you'd shake your finger at me and ask, “How could you?”--but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect．
My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate．Eventually, you fell in love．She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home．I was happy because you were happy．Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too．
Your wife was afraid I would bite them．But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend．Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets．You've made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family．
I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound．It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness．You filled out the paperwork and said, “I know you will find a good home for her”．They shrugged and gave you a pained look．The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye．And “How could you?” were the only three words that swept over my mind．
Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen （圍欄）, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream．
My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever．I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me．
