Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 55 when I was in high school.
The test was the final for a course. I remember waiting anxiously as my teacher Mr. Right passed out our papers one by one. It was a rather difficult test. I heard my classmates groaning, and I could tell by the groans that the scores weren’t looking good.
Mr. Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to draw attention, was my score, 55!
I lowered my head, and covered the score up quickly. A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see. “The scores were not very good, none of you passed,” Mr. Right said. “The highest score in the class was a 55.”
A 55. That’s me!
Suddenly my sad look didn’t look so bad. I had the highest score. I felt a lot better.
I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My father knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home, “How did you do in your test?”“I made a 55,” I said.
A frown(皱眉)now stood on my father’s face. I knew I had to explain immediately. “But Dad, I had the highest score in the class,” I proudly stated. I thought that explanation would make a difference. “You failed!” my father replied. “But it’s the highest!” I insisted. “I don’t care what scores others had, but you failed. What matters is what you do!” my father firmly said.
For years, my father was always that way. It didn’t matter what others did, it only mattered what I did and that I did it excellently.
We often don’t understand the wisdom(智慧)of good parents until we ourselves stand in the parents’ shoes. My father’s words have carried me throughout life.
1. The word groaning is the closest in meaning to _____.
A. singing B. laughing C. complaining D. quarreling
2. In class, to hide my score from my classmates, I _____.
A. lowered my head B. covered my score up

B. I gave a good excuse
C. I became the worst student
D. I stood in his shoes

A. the father was strict with his child.
B. the writer was always poor in tests.
C. Mr. Right was worried about the writer
D. the writer was always happy with his scores

When you cough or sneeze, please turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. Afterwards, you should say, “Excuse me.” This is a rule I set for my students.
It is so simple, but many kids have never been told to do this. In fact, I notice adults cough and sneeze in public without putting a hand over the mouth. I hate traveling by subway(地铁)in New York during cold and flu season, because it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck.
One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those germs(病菌)along to everything and everyone they touch.
In order to help the kids remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze, evil spirits jump into your body. If you don’t cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your mouth, you will keep them out. We say “God bless you” when some sneezes, and in Germany you should say “Gesundheit.” That means “Good health to you.” Both expressions are said just in case you didn’t cover your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins(起源) of these expressions and it encourages them to put the advice to use more often.
6. The writer of this article must be ________.
A. a reporter B. a teacher C. a doctor D. an officer
7. What does the underlined word “this” mean
A. Don’t cough or sneeze in front of people.
B. Don’t stand beside someone who coughs or sneezes.
C. Many people cough or sneeze on the underground train.
D. Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing and say sorry.
8. After coughing or sneezing on their hand, students are advised to ________.
A. say “God bless you” immediately
B. wash their hands as soon as possible
C. go to see a doctor as soon as possible
D. go home and have a good rest
9. According to the article, the writer would like the kids _________.
A. to be polite to adults
B. to be in better health
C. to have good mannered
D. to do well in exams
(C)
