His Daily Check-In

I started the second term of tenth grade on February 1, seven years ago. But the next day, my mother passed away in her sleep during the night. After we laid my mother to rest, I went back to school, but I didn't care much to be there at all.

Since it was a new term, my teachers didn't know me very well. My English teacher, Mr. Goldberg, would ask the class questions and call on people to answer. When he called on me, he'd pretty much be waking me up from wherever my mind would be. I'd say, “Excuse me? What was that?” He'd ask me again, and I'd have the correct answer.

One day, he asked me to meet him after class. “I don’t understand what's going on,” he said. “You always seem lost. Your mind is always some place else during class, but you know all the answers."

I told him the reason I came to school every day was because my mother made me. Now that she wasn't here, I didn't really feel the need to go anymore.

Then he said, "Well, just do me a favor. I want you to meet me in my office during sixth period." So I met him, just to talk. Afterward, he said, “Meet me tomorrow, same time.” This went on and on, every single day. He had me meet him before class. I would help him grade papers, and we would talk.

Mr. Goldberg went around to all my classes and talked to all my teachers. He said, “If you have any problems with Maxie Jones, come to me.”

The next year, he did the same thing. I met with him every day, and he talked to all my teachers about whatever was going on with me. Again, he told them, “If you've got any problem with Maxie, come and talk to me.”

By the time I graduated (毕业) from high school, I had never missed a single day of school.

It took me years before I realized what he had done. I graduated from high school in the top 10% of my class. But at 15 having lost my mother and not really seeing the importance of learning—I was in line to be a high school dropout. I realized that the reason I showed up to school every day was because somebody there was expecting (期望) to see me. That somebody was Mr. Goldberg. I will just remember him for the rest of my life.

1.What difficulty did Maxie meet at the beginning of the new term?

A.He lost his mother. B.He didn't rest well at home.

C.He had few friends at school. D.He didn’t understand the class well.

2.How did Maxie do in Mr. Goldberg's class?

A.He talked a lot with other students. B.He often answered questions quickly.

C.His mind was always someplace else. D.He helped Mr. Goldberg grade papers.

3.Maxie will always remember Mr. Goldberg, because________.

A.Mr. Goldberg paid for his books B.Mr. Goldberg played games with him

C.Mr. Goldberg helped him stay in school D.Mr. Goldberg's class is the most interesting
