John’s house became too big for him after his wife died, so he bought a smaller one

nearby. There is a very nice old clock in his first house. When some people came to help

move a clock, John thought, “I won’t let them take off my beautiful old clock in the truck.

Perhaps they are likely breakit.” So she carried it on his arms. One the way, a small boy

looked at John for a few second and said, “How interested you are! Why did you buy so a

large watch?”

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn(孤僻) after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.

One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and asked God for help. "Please God, I can't do anything more for my son. I'm at the end of my rope. I'm giving the whole thing up to you."

I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I want to talk to you about Karl's absences." Before he could say another word, I choked up (哽咽) and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son, but I just don't know what to do. I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It's out of my hands." For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, "Thank you for your time", and hung up.

Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, "Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That was me. I thought I'd play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That's when I knew I had to make you proud." 　

1.According to the first report card, Karl __________.

A. often went to school late                 B. failed in all the exams

C. did a good job at school                 D. didn't do well at school

2.When the mother said "It's out of my hands." to the headmaster, she meant that she________.

A. didn't know what to do about her son

B. would drive her son away from the house

C. had no money to support the family

D. she would have to hang up

3.There was silence on the other end of the line because _____.

A. the speaker was unable to interrupt the mother

B. the speaker waited for the mother to finish speaking

C. the speaker didn't want the mother to recognize his voice

D. the speaker was too moved to say anything to the mother

4.Who was it that telephoned Karl's mother that day?

A. The headmaster.                        B. The school adviser.

C. Karl himself.                           D. The passage doesn't tell us.
