Do you like writing? If you had a chance to publish your own book, what would you write about?
I got an invitation to take part in an education conference(会议)at a high school. At lunchtime, I saw a young girl who looked familiar. I knew she had been a student of mine. I tried hard to recall her name, but I couldn’t. It really made me sad, as I have always been able to remember fomer students.
Her eyes met mine and she threw her arms around me and said, “Mrs. G, it’s me Sarah, and I’m still writing!” All the memories soon came back to my mind. You see, Sarah was never a student in my classroom. Sarah’s mother had left her family and her father was absent(缺席的)from her life as well. She was sent to live with foster parents the year I met her. Sarah was angry, often got in trouble and was often in the principal’s(校长的)office.
It was during one of those office visits that I first met her. She was writing in a notebook with a rather angry look on her face. I introduced myself to her and asked her what she was writing about. Sarah shared her story with me. Her writing spoke to me. It filled my heart and I knew it was good for her to put her thoughts on paper. Every morning at school before I started my classes, she would come into my classroom and we would work on her writing skills.
My experience years ago with Sarah taught me that teachers have a great influence upon their students, even when those students are troubled. Taking the time to talk with a child has the power to truly change that child’s life. That’s why I teach.
【1】What made the writer feel sad at lunchtime?
A.She didn’t expect the girl to be a waitress.
B.She hadn’t seen the girl for a long time.

【2】What happened in Sarah’s life?
A.She moved to the writer’s classroom.
B.She once left home to look for her parents.
C.She asked to live with foster parents.
D.She often got criticized(批评)by the principal.
【3】Why did the writer decide to help with the girl’s writing?
A.To show off her writing skills.
B.To help the girl release(释放;发泄)the thoughts.
C.To help the girl realize her mistakes.
D.To follow the principal’s order.
【4】What has the writer learned from this experience?
A.Action speak louder than words.
B.Parents should offer a happy family life for their kids.
C.Teachers can influence students in many ways.
D.Teachers should use their spare time to help others.

26、 One day after school, I went to the teacher's office to see my teacher, but nobody was there. As I was about to leave, I noticed a piece of paper on the floor.

"My History teacher always encouraged me to work hard and get better grades, but I let him down time and time again. This time I will give him a big surprise," I thought.
When the teacher said we could start, I turned the paper over. To my surprise, all the questions were different. Later I felt nervous. In the end, I almost left the paper undone. After the exam. I ran to the toilet, took out the paper and carefully read it from the top. Oh! It was last year's exam paper. I read all the questions but I hadn't read the date.
