Question

【題目】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, third in his class, 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 F. Stoddard, M. D. (醫(yī)學(xué)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.”

試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了湯普森夫人對一個男孩無心的表達(dá)卻改變了學(xué)生的一生。同時學(xué)生的變化也教給了湯普森夫人如何教育學(xué)生。

【小題1】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段But that was a lie.描述，可知湯普森夫人并不喜歡特迪，她撒謊說都喜歡他們,故選A。

【小題2】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段及這篇文章的理解，可知特迪在媽媽死后，希望的到母愛，故選B。

【小題3】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段Thompson was ashamed(慚愧的) of herself. She felt even worse , like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水)描述，可知特迪像所有的孩子有一樣給老師帶來的圣誕禮物，所以湯普森夫人感覺更不好。故選C。
