During my second year of nursing school, our teacher gave us a test. I was a hardworking student and I did well in all the subjects. I finished the questions successfully until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”
Of course this was a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day. She is short and about 60 years old. She has dark hair. But how would I know her name? I had never talked with her before. In fact, I’d never even thought about talking to her. I stared at my paper and started to feel rather guilty. Finally, I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.
Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grades.
“Absolutely,” the teacher said. “In your life, you will meet many people. All are important. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is to smile and to say hello.”
I’ve never forgotten that lesson. Everyone deserves my attention and I should get to know all of the people who work and live around me. That was, perhaps, the most important lesson of my life. I also learned the cleaning woman’s name was Dorothy.
小題1:How was the writer at the nursing school?
A．She didn’t study hard.B．She was one of the top students.
C．She loved telling jokes. D．She often asked questions in class.
小題2:What did the cleaning lady look like?
A．She had only a little hair.B．She was not tall.
C．She looked young.D．She always smiled.
小題3:How did the writer feel she first saw the last question?
A．She felt guilty.B．She felt surprised.
C．She felt excited.D．She felt comfortable.
小題4:What can we learn from paragraph 3 and 4?
A．The last question was a part of the quiz.
B．The students needn’t answer the last question.
C．Only one student didn’t know the answer.
D．None of the students knew the woman’s name.
小題5:What did the teacher want to tell the students through the last question?
A．You should pay attention to everyone around you.
B．You should work hard to get good grades in school.
