I was invited to be an instructor(辅导员) at a high school leadership camp this summer vacation.On the first day of camp，I noticed a boy under the tree.He was small，and his shyness made him appear weak and lonely.Nearby，200 campers were playing，joking and meeting each other，but the boy seemed to want to be anywhere else rather than where he was.
I was instructed to care more about campers who might feel left out.So I walked toward him and said，“Hi，I'm Kevin.It's nice to meet you.How are you？” In a shaky voice，he unwillingly answered，“Okay，I guess.” I calmly asked him if he wanted to take part in the activities and meet some new people.He quietly replied，“No，this is not really my thing.” I could sense that he was in a new world that this whole experience was foreign to him.But I somehow knew it wouldn't be right to push him，either.He didn't need a pep talk.He needed a friend.
The next day，at my first opportunity，I tried again，with the same questions as before.To which he again replied as before.I realized that there was a long way to go.That evening at our nightly staff meeting，I made my worry about him known.I asked them to pay special attention and spend time with him when they could.
The days flew by fast.When the “last dance” came，surprisingly，the boy from under the tree was now a shirtless dancing wonder.He owned the dance floor sharing meaningful time with others.I was happy to see his changes.At that moment，I realized that when you're good to others，you are best to yourself.
1.It's clear that the boy under the tree ________.
A. disliked making friends with people who are older than him

A. helped the boy take part in the camp activities for the first time
B. allowed the boy not to join in the camp activities
C. found it was useless to have a talk with the boy
D. didn't give up helping the boy
3.The word “pep” in the reading material means “________”．
A. encouragement B. fun
C. interest D. pity
4.From the reading，we know that the boy changed ________.
A. because he got familiar with the environment
B. to show his thanks to the writer
C. with the help of all the staff's effort
D. because of his confidence in dancing

In the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be an instructor (辅导员）at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, "No, I really don't want to do this." I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend.
At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when 1 saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.
The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise. 1 found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls. I couldn't believe it was the same person.
In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy's mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said: “'Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy during his last months.”
At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own “boy under the tree”.
1. Before the writer came to the high school summer camp，he was a (n) _______.
A. instructor B. camper C. student D. reporter
2. How many times did the writer invite the boy to join in the activities?
A. Once B. Twice C. Three times D. Many times
3.Which is the correct order about the story?
①The boy danced joyfully with two girls.
②The boy went back to school and made new friends.
③The boy refused to join in the activities.
④The boy's mother made a phone call to the writer.
A. ①②③④ B.②③①④
C.③①②④ D.④③②①
4.From Paragraph 4，we can infer (推断）that Tommy's mother was very_______to the writer.
A. thankful B. helpful C. faithful D. harmful

After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed. During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症).When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming(克服)difficulties and going for my dreams. I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask,________“Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Clearly, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me. When we finished talking, I pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck.

I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can. I told you someday that I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me. Your friend, Matthew

Chip was in first grade when I arrived at his school as a counselor (辅导员). It was surprising to me that he was described as an angry, uncontrollable and evil (惹人厌的) boy. How could such a little boy, after being in school only one year, be considered "evil"? Over the next several months, I came to know Chip well enough to see that he was neither evil nor uncontrollable.
But, one day, Chip threw a chair at his teacher and was sent to my office. I asked him what made him do this. He replied that his teacher hated him. He felt there was no way to ever get her to like him. I asked him if he would tell his teacher this. He nodded, and we called her into my office.
When the teacher came, . He then said that he knew he was a very, very bad boy, and he didn't think anyone could ever like him. His teacher listened to him with heartfelt compassion. Then she gave him a big warm hug, telling him she didn't hate him at all and, in fact, she cared very much about him. Only sometimes Chip's behavior really scared her. It was clear to both Chip and me that she really meant it.
I put my left arm on his shoulders and the right hand on his heart. I told him how wonderful and lovely I saw him to be. I praised how special and brave he was to express his hurt feeling.
As I was speaking to him, his whole body came to rest on my right hand next to his heart. It was a moment in time unlike anything I had experienced before. From then on, I'm pleased to see his behavior improved through the rest of school years.
A child's mind is clear and sensitive (敏感的). He receives whatever others saw without protection. It is as easy to consider someone hopeless as it is to consider him able in his own special way.
1.Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in the passage?
A. she couldn't control her feelings B. I advised her to be more patient
C. Chip became angry and crazy again D. I encouraged Chip to express his feelings.
