Have you ever done something foolish that made you feel so embarrassed (尴尬的)?
Well, that’s exactly how I felt. On a Saturday morning last autumn. I had gone to town to do some shopping and as I was on my way home, it suddenly began to rain. At once, I ran into a nearby phone box because I didn’t have an umbrella. It was raining so heavily that I had to stay in the phone box until it stopped.
A few moments later, I saw a young man walk up to the phone box, wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box. I didn’t want to go out into the rain, so I picked up the phone and pretended (假装) I was talking to someone. I thought the man would go away, but he didn’t. He just waited in the pouring rain, watching me wave my hands about and act as if I was deep in conversation.
Luckily, it began to stop after about twenty minutes. “Okay, Mum,” I said loudly into the phone，“I’ll see you later. Bye!” I put the phone down, picked up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box. “I’m sorry I took so long,” I said to the man.
“Oh, it doesn’t matter,” he replied, smiling. “I’ve just come to repair it. It’s out of order, you see.” I felt myself go bright red in the face and I hurried away with my head down, feeling a complete fool. That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!

Many American presidents in the 19th century were born in poor families. They spent their childhood in little wooden rooms. They got little education (教育). Washington and Lincoln, for example, never went to school and they taught themselves. Lincoln once did jobs of a worker, shopkeeper and post officer in his early years.

My friends, Emma Daniels, spent the summer of 1974 traveling in Israel. During her monthlong stay in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whom – Alex– used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read.

Droughts in California
A terrible drought has created trouble in California, USA. A drought is a long period of time with little rain or snow. That means there isn’t enough water. Droughts are natural disasters. But unlike earthquakes or hurricanes(飓风), droughts do not happen suddenly. 21
The drought in the western United States began four years ago. California has been hit hardest. About 95% of the state now has serious drought conditions. About 3,500 people in East Porterville, California, have no running water in their homes. 22 Some people haven’t had running water for years. Rivers and lakes have been drying up, too. That’s a problem for fish and animals. 23 As a result, farms might lose more than $2 billion in 2015. More than 18,000 farm jobs have been lost.
Scientists aren’t sure when the problem will end. A rainy autumn and winter could help. Experts say it will take 11 trillion gallons(加仑) of water to end the drought. 24 They take the water home for washing dishes, cleaning toilets, and more. 25 They’ve stopped watering lawns(草坪) and washing cars. “We need to make the best use of what we have,” explains weather scientist Michael Anderson.
A. Instead, they happen slowly.
B. Without water, farms can’t grow as much food.
C. Future droughts in California are likely to last longer.
D. That’s because the drought has caused their wells to dry up.
E. All across California, people are saving water any way they can.
F. California is a state located on the West Coast of the United States.
G. Many people drive to fire stations to fetch water.
Many years ago my student asked me the question, "Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?" Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life." Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide.
"Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.
Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:
It's in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.
Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can't have ripples without a "stone." Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that's what I strive to do.
I genuinely love teenagers.
I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes(坑) on the road of life, I want to do so. If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.
Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.
8.Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?
A.Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.
B.Because the writer was insincere.
C.Because the student was naughty.
D.Because the answer was difficult to understand.
9.What do you think of the writer?
A.Stupid. B.Honest. C.Conservative(保守的). D.Polite.
10.According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?
A.The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her.
B.The writer’s answer made the student confused.
C.In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.
D.The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.
11.We can infer from the text that _________.
A.the writer was also a good teacher in school
B.the writer often plays with her students beside a pond
C.the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students
D.the writer often accompanies the students on their way home
12.What’s the main idea of the text?
