Have you ever heard the saying “If you want a friend, be one”?

Here is how one new teacher made friends with the girls and boys in her class on the first day of school. As the bell rang, the teacher smiled at each girl and boy. Then she said in a quiet voice, .”Good morning. How nice it is to have all of you in my class this year..I’d like to know each of you .I am sure we will enjoy working together.” Everyone felt that she meant what she said because of her sweet voice and her friendly look.

Being the head of a high school for many years, I grew tired of budget meeting, funding cuts, and many other administrative chores (雜務(wù)). I started to dream of retirement. Sitting in traffic on a weekday morning, I would find my mind wandering, I would imagine spending time with my grandchildren, quiet evenings with my wife, traveling, or rediscovering some great books. I told myself that I wouldn’t sign myself up for any committees, any classes, or anything requiring a schedule.

My first day of retirement came at last! I cooked a great break fast for my wife and me, leisurely read the paper, cleaned a bit of the house, and wrote a few letters to friends. On the

second day, I cooked breakfast, read the paper … On the third day, … This is retirement? I tried to tell myself that it was just the transition（過渡）, that those golden moments were right round the corner, and that I would enjoy them soon enough, But something was missing.

A former colleague asked a favor. A group of students was going to Jamaica to work  with children in the poorest neighborhoods. Would I interrupt my newfound “happiness” and return to the students, just this once? One trip. That’s all, My bags were packed and by the door.

The trip was very inspiring. I was moved not only by the poverty I saw but also by the sense of responsibility of the young people on the trip. When I returned home, I offered to work one day a week with a local youth organization. The experience was so positive that I was soon volunteering nearly full-time, working with students across North America to assist them in their voluntary work.

Now, it seems, the tables have turned. Some days I am the teacher, other days I am the student. These young people have reawakened my commitment  (責(zé)任感)  to social justice issues by challenging me to learn more about the situation in the world today, where people are still poor and suffer because of greed, corruption and war, Most important, they have given me the opportunity to continue to participate in helping to find solutions. In return, I help them do their charitable projects overseas. I’ve gone from running one school to helping oversee the construction of schools in twenty-one countries!

60.What did the writer expect to do after he retired?

A. To stay away from busy schedules.          B. To write some great books.

C. To do some voluntary work                D. To plan for his future.

61.Why did the writer decide to go to Jamaica?

A. He missed his students in that country.       B. He couldn’t refuse his colleague’s favor.

C. He was not satisfied with his retired life.    D. He was concerned about the people there.

62.The underlined part “the tables have turned”(Paragraph 5) means that the writer        .

A. improved the situation in his school B. felt happy to work with students again

C. became a learner rather than a teacher     D. changed his attitude toward his retired life
