There was a story many years ago of a school teacher—Mrs. Thompson．She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same．But that was a lie．There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard．He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath．She did not like him．
Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother．Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself．She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present, too．It was his mother’s perfume（香水）
Teddy said ,“Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to．”After the children left , she cried for at least an hour．On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math．Instead, she began to teach children．
Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy．The boy’s mind seemed to come alive．The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved．By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class．
Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy．He wrote that he had finished high school and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life．He went to college．Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed: Theodore Stoddard ,M．D．（医学博士）．
The story doesn’t end there．On his wedding day, Dr．Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear ,“Thank you, Mrs.Thompson, for believing in me．You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference．”
Mrs.Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back ,“ Teddy, you have it all wrong．You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference．I didn’t know how to teach until I met you．”

2.When did Teddy give his teacher a present?
3.What did Mrs. Thompson do after the children left the classroom?
4.Why did Teddy thank Mrs. Thompson at his wedding?

April 22 is Earth Day. Everyone on earth should care about and protect the earth! The earth has warmed by about 1 °F over the past 100 years, but why and how? Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. __1__
First, greenhouse effect (效应) is a very important reason for the change of the earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. __2__Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes the climate, too.
When the earth becomes warmer, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. __3___ On a Pacific island, 100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising. These people can no longer live on the coast. Before that, two islands without people went underwater in 1999. Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one metre by 2100.
People can affect the earth's air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the earth. __4___ We can tell more people about protecting the earth.
A.So it will affect the growth of plants, animals and people.
B. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which make the earth warmer.
C.For example, we can use fridges less.
D. People in many cities turn off the lights for an hour on that day.
E.Another important reason is climate change.
When you read an article you will understand and remember it better if you can work out how the writer has put the ideas together．Sometimes a writer puts ideas together by asking questions and then answering them．For example，if the article is about groundhogs（土拨鼠），the set of questions in the writer’s head might be：
What does a groundhog look like？
Where do groundhogs live？
What do they eat？…
In the article，the author might answer those questions．
Sometimes an author writes out her questions in the article．These questions give you signals．They tell you what the author is going to write next．Often an author has a question in her head but she doesn’t write it out for you．You have to work out her question for yourself．Here’s a sample reading for you to practice this method.
Earthworms
Do you know how many kinds of earthworms there are？There are about 1800 kinds in the world！ They can be brown，purple，green．They can be as small as 3 cm long and as large as 3 m long．
The best time to see earthworms is at night，especially a cool，damp night．That’s when they come up from their burrows（地洞）to hunt for food．Earthworms don’t like to be in the sun．That’s because they breathe through their skin，and they can’t breathe if their skin gets too dry．Earthworms must come out of the earth if it rains a lot，because they can't breathe in their flooded burrows．What a dangerous life！
Earthworms don't have eyes，so how can they tell when it's dark？ They have special places on their skin that are sensitive to light．These spots tell whether it’s light or dark．If you shine a flashlight on an earthworm at night，it will quickly disappear into the ground．
Earthworms don't have ears either，but they can hear by feeling movements in the earth．If you want to hear like an earthworm，lie on the ground with your fingers in your ears．Then have a friend stamp his or her feet near you．This is how earthworms feel birds and people walking，and moles digging，near them．
Earthworms are useful．Farmers and gardeners like having lots of earthworms in their land because the worms help to make better soil when they dig．That digging keeps the soil loose and airy（通风的）．In one year earthworms can pile up as much as 23,000 kg of castings in an area about the size of a football field．

Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbooks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.
1.It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A．Fewer and fewer people will buy books.
B．A good dictionary should be kept in every home.
C．Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.
D．More people like TV programs about famous men.
2.What does the sentence “Television has not killed reading, however.” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?
A．People only need reading, though.
B．Reading is still necessary today.
C．Reading is more fun than television.
D．Watching television doesn’t help reading.
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A．TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge.
B．Cinemas are the best choice in getting information.
C．Reading is cheap way of learning and having fun.
D．Newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself.

Advice for others: Sahar has now written a best-selling book about their experience, called Anyone Can Do It! She hopes it will help other young people to start their own businesses. She believes success is 1% idea and 99% hard work, but she says, “If you think you have the energy, then get out and follow your dream.”
