PAGE 2 阅读文章 It was near Christmas during my first semester(学期) teaching at a new school. I loved my small special class more than any group I had taught in the past. They were hungry for knowledge and I was enjoying teaching. Other teachers told me that our children were from poor families and not to expect any child to bring a Christmas gift. In fact, I wasnt expecting any gifts. ①I was surprised when every child brought me a gift on the day before our holiday break. First, I got a lovely monkey from a shy girl. She told me, “ He is my favorite, but I love you and I want him to be with you, Miss Taylor.” How excited I was! Next came a new set of Christmas tree lights that was “missing” from a mothers drawer. Finally, I came to one little boys gift which I had never received. It was an old, dirty and broken Christmas storybook. Just then I wanted to express my happiness, but I was stopped by the giver, “ And see, it is new! It still has the price tag(标签)．” When other children laughed at him, I stopped them and said, “ Oh, books are good in that way. The story is always new if you have not read it before. Now，lets share one together.” Everyone listened quietly as I read the most wonderful Christmas story of my life. I still keep those Christmas gifts.②它们总让我想起可爱的孩子们。 试着做一做 1．Why did the teacher like her small special class? __________________________________________________ 2．When did the children bring their teacher gifts? __________________________________________________ 3．Translate ① into Chinese. __________________________________________________ 4．Translate ② into English. ____________________________________________________ 5．Whats the title of the article? ____________________________________________________ 答案 1.
