School was over and I felt quite tired. I sat at the very 41 of the crowded bus because of my anxiety to get home. Sitting there makes me 42  out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.

Janie, the 43  , tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere by striking the match of 44.

I tried to mind my manners and 45  listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, 46  , her conversation was worth listening to.

“My father’s sick,” she said to no one in particular (专门) , I could see the 47and fear in her eyes. “What’s wrong with him?” I asked. With her eyes wet and her voice tight from 48  the tears, she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes 49  as she continued. “I have already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.”

I was 50  . My heart ached for her. And this reminded me of the great 51  that my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and 52  is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to 53  that.

Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver. That was 54  her job. She had a whole world of 55  and concerns, too. I suddenly felt very 56  . I realized I had only thought of people as far as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie 57  she was a bus driver. I had 58  her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant.

For all I know, I’m just another person in 59  else’s world, and may not be 60 . I should not have been so selfish and self-centered. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointment to keep. Understanding people is an art.

Amanda Moore noticed that the new student at school always sat alone at lunch. She felt bad about that. The 10-year-old girl decided to befriend Rafael Anaya, but she also noticed something else — he struggled to understand English. Instead of letting that stop her, she used Google Translate to handwrite a note in Spanish asking him to join her for lunch. Her act earned her the “Student of the Month” award for October at her school.

Rafael had moved to Temecula, California from Mexico at the beginning of the school year. He often cried after returning home from school because he felt so lonely. Amanda didn’t know that when she wrote the letter. She simply knew that he spoke Spanish and that he was lonely. She spent the afternoon carefully writing a letter. When she got home, she couldn’t wait to tell her mother, Kimber Kinard, about the letter, wanting her to proofread(校对) it.

But Kinard felt confused, because she didn’t understand Spanish, either. So Amanda helped her use the app to understand it. Kinard was excited and tearful because she thought it was the nicest thing. The note read: “Would you like to sit with me today? Look for me and I will show you where I sit. We can chat or simply tell interesting stories.”

The next day, Amanda handed the note to Rafael. He gave her a hug. But it wasn’t until their maths class that he said “yes” to lunch. The two have been sitting together ever since.

The note helped Rafael feel more comfortable and encouraged him to work harder on his English. He really wants to learn English to talk to Amanda.

The two use gestures and Google Translate to communicate now, but they hope it will become easier when Rafael’s English improves. And Amanda is learning some Spanish.

1.When Amanda wrote Rafael the note, she 　　　　　　　　 .

A. asked her teacher for help

B. sensed Rafael’s loneliness

C. knew Rafael often cried after school

D. knew Rafael had moved to Temecula from Mexico

2.The note to Rafael 　　　　　　　　 .

A. moved Rafael’s mother to tears

B. was written to arrange an appointment

C. was written to ask him to eat with Amanda

D. was translated by Amanda’s mother

3.We can learn from the text that Rafael 　　　　　　　　 .

A. agreed to Amanda’s invitation at once

B. wrote back to Amanda in English using Google Translate

C. was encouraged by the note to improve his English

D. was encouraged by Amanda to communicate with other students

Dear Daisy，

Phew! I’m so glad the day is over. I’m really tired, but my first day at school went well.

First of all, we met outside the school building. I was very nervous because my primary school only had 300 pupils but in the middle school there are about 1300. What a difference! The older pupils are really big. I felt so small waiting there in front of the school.

The head teacher came out and told us to go into the school hall. Then he called our names out to tell us which class we were in. My class teacher is called Mrs. Black. She took us to our classroom. It's on the 5th floor. We aren't allowed to use the lift! I couldn't believe it.

We spent all morning with Mrs. Black looking at our timetables. Everyone in the school had a different timetable. I'm worried that I’ll forget my timetable and go to the wrong room.

Lunchtime was OK. I had salad, fish and fruit, which was quite good, and then I went to play football with some of the other boys. They were all friendly and I don't think it will take me long to make friends.

After lunch we started lessons. 1 had maths and then history, where we started to learn about ancient Greece. That looked interesting. 1 have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient Greek people lived, so I’m going to do an Internet search and look it up in the library.

So far so good. I am quite looking forward to tomorrow, even though I’ve got science. I hate science!

Yours,

Jason

A

Before I started school, people felt that I was not going to be successful. At the age of four I started speech lessons because basically I could not speak well enough for anyone to understand me. The story goes downhill from here.

The first grade was a struggle. I not only had difficulty speaking, but also felt nervous about the fact that I was expected to learn to read and I just couldn’t do it. The second grade was not much better. I still struggled with the inability to read. It was in the third grade that the school district built a new school close to my home. I remember going there with my parents and helping to get the school ready so that we could move to the new one. However, things were still not much better as far as my schooling was concerned and did not get better for the next two years.

It was in the fifth grade. Mrs. Wakefield was my teacher, and if ever there was a teacher that deserved a gold star, it was her. She did not make me feel defeated. On the contrary, she did her best to let me know that I could be whatever I wanted to be. And that is just what I did.

For the past 22 years, I have been a fifth grade teacher. Because of Mrs. Wakefield’s influence on my life, I am now encouraging students who have had difficulties in their lives to believe that they can overcome any difficulty and become someone. I have won numerous awards up to now, such as Teacher of the Year. I owe it all to one fifth grade teacher who believed in me and challenged me to be all that I could be.

1.The writer ______ when he was in the third grade.

2.We can learn from the passage that the writer ______.

3.What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
