"Were you Mark's math teacher?" an old man
came to my office and asked. I nodded. "Mark talked about you a lot. I
want to show you something," he said, taking a wallet out of his pocket.
"They found this on him when he was killed in the battle. We thought you
might recognize it. "
Opening the wallet, he carefully removed two worn
pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded
many times. I knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which I had
listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him. And
that happened 20 years ago.
Mark was in the third grade class I taught. All 34 of
my students were dear to me, but Mark was one in a million. Very neat in
appearance, he had that happytobealive attitude that made even his
occasional misbehavior delightful.
Mark also talked without stopping. I tried to remind
him again and again that talking without permission was unacceptable. What
impressed me so much, though, was the sincere response every time I had to
correct him for misbehaving. "Thank you for correcting me, Sister!" I
didn't know what to make of it at first but before long I became accustomed to
hearing it many times a day.
One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark
talked once too often. I made a new teacher's mistake. I looked at Mark and
said, "If you say one more word, I am going to tape your mouth shut!"
It wasn't ten seconds later when Chuck shouted,
"Mark is talking again." I hadn't asked any of the students to help
me watch Mark, but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I
had to act on it.

Paragraph 2:

again in class.
答案:Paragraph 1 : I walked to my desk and took out a roll of tape. Very deliberately, I proceeded to Mark's desk, tore off two pieces of the tape and made a big X with them over his mouth. I then returned to the front of the room. As I glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked at me. I started laughing. The entire class cheered as I walked back to Mark's desk, removed the tape and shrugged my shoulders. His first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, sister.” Paragraph 2 : One day I decided to do something different when Mark talked again in class. I asked the other students to think of the good things they could say about Mark and write them down. Then I listed them on a separate piece of paper. The next day I gave it to Mark. “Really?” Before long I heard him whispering. The paper did work. Mark listened more and more carefully to my instruction from that day on. “Thank you so much for doing that,” the old man brought me back down to earth. “As you can see, Mark treasured it,” he added. That was when I finally cried.
