I was sitting in a fast food restaurant with my two children, who at the time were about 6 and 9. Inside there was also a group of teens in Gothic(哥特式的) dress and appearance. Everyone kept away from them inside the restaurant.

Outside the restaurant, people jumped past the homeless man searching the garbage bin, who was looking for food or perhaps a cigarette. I too had rushed past him with my youngsters, refusing his request for money but thinking maybe, just maybe, I would bring him some food. It turned out that I didn't have to.

One girl in the Gothic youth jumped up, went to the counter and ordered more food, which she then took outside to the homeless man and sat on the bench with him, chatting away as he ate. He didn't say much—he was greedy—but I think I saw a bit of a smile and a flash in his eyes as he nodded to her questions.

Writing this now, several years later, I still choke up. That girl was a model citizen living the values of goodness and kindness. These are values I have always held high and hoped to teach my kids. She made my job much easier. We stopped by on our way out and thanked her for setting such a positive example for us. I hope that hearing that has made as much of a difference in her life as seeing what she did has made to ours.

1.Why did people keep away from the teens in the fast food restaurant?

A. Because they were dressed in Gothic dress.

B. Because they were too young to pay their meal.

C. Because they liked to quarrel with others.

D. Because they killed two children.

2.What did the homeless man want the author to do?

A. To help him get money. B. To bring him some food.

C. To provide him with money. D. To refuse to take care of him.

3.It can be inferred that the homeless man ________.

A. was very greedy in deed B. was very hungry at that time

C. didn't like talking with others much D. didn't answer the girl's questions

4.What can we learn about the author from the passage?

A. The author is also a model citizen like the girl.

B. The author sets a good example for the girl.

C. The author is deeply moved by the girl.

D. The author has sympathy for the girl.

A few changes about how a teacher runs a classroom can make a huge effect on how concentrated students will be in that classroom.It's an issue every teacher has to face,1.Here are just a few of my strategies.

●Rearrange（重新安排）Seats.

I did the seat rearrangement because class conversation had become dull,and students just seemed to be there but not actually there.2.I had all of my students pick new seats at the tables.The rules were simple.They could not sit with more than one other person they'd already sat with,and it had to be at a different table.

●Take over A Lesson.

Once in a while,it can be fun to let the students take over a lesson in a unit.Let them become the teachers,and the teacher becomes the student.You can provide the topic they need to cover.3.

●Have Open Projects.

Open projects have been very successful in my class.4.I used to dictate every part of my project assignments.Students would ask to do things a little differently.And I'd give in,surprised that their ideas were better than mine.

●5.

Sometimes teachers forget to bring the fun to the classroom.We try so hard to cover the courses for our students until they break down.Sometimes it's good to just set things aside for a day or two and have some fun.

A.Have fun.

B.Listen carefully.

C.But it can be solved in some very simple ways.

D.Let the students choose the topic and teach whatever they want.

E.It's one of the simplest ways to rearrange a class and get things going again.

F.They get to deal with the material in a way that is refreshing and new to them.

G.I've found that the more choices I gave my students, the better the projects have been

This habit was picked from my teacher back in 1988. Back then it seemed trivial（瑣碎）and not likely to make any significant influence on my life.1.

The habit that has made the greatest influence on my life is scheduling. In my mind, it is the tiny daily habit that indeed can be life-changing. Scheduling is not just about the ordering of tasks throughout the day. 2.If you are able to design the right schedule and follow it, you are able to gain massive rewards for your work.

3.However, everything is likely to boil down to the most precious asset（財(cái)富）, namely time. If you are able to master your time and follow the schedule, you will not lose any minute doing things that do not matter or add no value. The tiny daily habit of scheduling your day is important. In the short term, it might seem boring and inefficient. 4.It can provide you with the greatest opportunity possible.

5.

A. Master your time

B. Only time will tell.

C. Forming tiny daily habit is not an easy task for us.

D. However, a few years later I realized its true power.

E. It is about the proper allocation and usage of your time and effort.

F. One can endlessly argue about the things that have the biggest value in our lives.

G. However, in the long run, the habit of scheduling your tasks and plans will pay off.
