  I have been a special education teacher for 17 years and I wish more people would, et into special education.The position is very demanding and there is always a shortage of special education teachers.It is not an easy profession to get into One needs a BA in education and then a special education certificate(證書)such as a certificate in learning disabilities.emotional disabilities or cross categories which means covering all the subject.A certified new special educate teacher needs to shadow a current special education teacher for at least, a year because there is that much to know and practice.

  Working with the students is the biggest reward.However, the paperwork is huge with lie requesting more year after year.If you are good at doing about ten things at the same time, then you may be the right person for the job.No day is the same.Parent and government expectations are high.A sense of empathy(the ability of feeling and sharing another person's feelings)and one hundred percent prepared to help your students is important.Also, if you are a special education teacher working in the high school, it is your job to make sure your special education students are able to be employed after they graduate, and then the special education teacher needs to stay in touch with the special students a year after they graduate to make sure they are employed and can support themselves.Education is a very political field next to working in politics.One needs to know what to say, when to say it and make sure it is a benefit for everyone involved.It is a mixture of knowing medical diagnosis and teaching with that in mind.Your record needs to be perfect, and it would also help to be a very strong Christian(天主教徒)because you will need to pray often to yourself.This position is not about the money but more of a service.

  When Laura reached school-going age the discussions about moving became more urgent (緊迫的). Her father did not want the children to go to school with the village children and for once her mother agreed with him. Not because, as he said, they ought to have a better education than they could get at Lark Rise; but because she feared they would tear their clothes and catch cold and get dirty heads going a mile and a half to and from the school in the village. So empty cottages in the market town were examined and often it seemed that the next week or the next month they would be leaving Lark Rise for ever, but again each time something would happen to prevent the removal, and gradually a new idea came up. To gain time, their father would teach the two eldest children to read and write, so that, if asked by the School Attendance Office, their mother could say they were leaving the small village shortly, and in the meantime, were being taught at home.

  So their father brought home two copies of Mavor's First Reader and taught them the alphabet; but just as Laura was beginning on words of one syllable (音節(jié)), He was sent away to work on a distant job, only corning home at weekends. Laura, left at the c-a-t s-I-t-s on the m-a-t's stage, then had to carry her book round after her mother as she went about her housework, asking,“Please, Mother, what does h-o-u-s-a spell?”or“W-a-l-k, Mother, what is that?”

  Often when her mother was too busy or too tired to attend to her, she would sit and fix her eyes on a page that might as well have been printed in Hebrew (希伯來(lái)語(yǔ)) for all she could make of it, frowning (鎖眉) and studying the print as though she would make out the meaning by force of concentration (專注).

  After weeks of this, there came a day when, quite suddenly, as it seemed to her, the printed characters took on a meaning. There were still many words, even in the first page of that simple book, she could not understand; but she could jump those and make sense of the whole.“I'm reading! I'm reading!” she cried aloud.“Oh, Mother! Oh, Edmund! I'm reading!”

1.Laura's father didn't want his children to go to school at Lark Rise because ________.

[  ]

A.it was too far away

B.they couldn't learn enough

C.their hair would become dirty

D.they would ruin their clothes

2.The children's father decided to teach them to read and write so that they ________.

[  ]

A.had an excuse not to have to move

B.had a reason for not attending school

C.could write to the School Attendance Office

D.would be educated before they left the village

3.The underlined part “left at the c-a-t s-I-t-s on the m-a-t's stage”means that ________.

[  ]

A.Laura was working hard and learning quickly

B.her father had no time to teach her

C.her mother was too busy to attend to her

D.Laura knew little about how to read and write

4.From the passage we can infer that ________ made Laura stare at a page in her book.

[  ]

A.her lack of concentration

B.her inability to understand

C.her need to understand Hebrew

D.her determination to understand

5.Laura finally discovered she could read when she ________.

[  ]

A.understood the main idea

B.understood all the words in her book

C.recognized the printed characters

D.jumped the first pages of her book

  I needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps(快照), maybe occasionally for magazines.Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand.So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store.There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list.And it was on special offer.Oh joy.I pointed at it and asked an assistant,“Can I have one of those?”He looked perturbed(不安).“Do you want to try it first?" he said.It didn't quite sound like a question."Do I need to?" I replied."There's nothing wrong with it?" This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad."No, no.But you should try it," he said encouragingly." Compare it with the others."

  I looked across at the others:shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box.With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time.But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with:first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.

  But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice.In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen.The assistant seemed a sincere man.So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers…and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.

  Why do we think that new options(選擇)still offer us anything new?Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.

(1)

The shop assistant insisted that the writer should ________.

[  ]

A.

compare the camera he had chosen with the others

C.

get more information about different companies

D.

(2)

What does the writer mean by "it would be worth half what I paid for it"(Paragraph 2)?

[  ]

A.

He should get a 50% discount.

B.

The price of the camera was unreasonably high.

C.

The quality of the camera was not good.

D.

The camera would soon fall in value.
