I was pleased when a student I had in third grade came back to personally invite me to his wedding. He said I was the only teacher that had believed in him. It made me feel so wonderful that he wanted to share the most important day of his life with me.
Then the day of the wedding arrived. I went through the receiving line and got big hugs from his sister, then from him and next his parents. His mother was crying. I told her how pleased I was to share this special day, and she said, “You’ve done so much for our son.” I answered by saying that I was glad if I had, even though I wasn’t sure what. Soon after everyone was seated I felt a tug(拖拉) on my arm and it was the groom’s father. He told me that the groom wanted me to sit with his parents. I couldn’t believe that on his special day he would even be thinking about me, let alone want me to sit with his parents. Then the groom came down to my table and presented me with roses. I was in such disbelief! He just grinned (咧嘴笑) and went back to sit with his bride.
Then his parents told me that after he left my class he had a really bad year where a teacher constantly put him down and he was always laughed at by other students. One day he even planned to hang himself. Then he thought of me and my faith in him and he couldn’t do it. His parents then thanked me for their son.

The kiwi is the most ancient bird found in New Zealand. It has been here for over 60 million years and is unique to New Zealand. It is a nocturnal (夜间活动的) bird with weak eyesight. It can’t fly, is rather small, strong, and has a long beak. It nests in holes on the forest floor. Despite its awkward appearance, kiwis can actually outrun a hu man and have managed to survive because of their alertness and their sharp, three-toed feet, which enable them to kick off an enemy.
The kiwi as an emblem (徽章) first appeared late in the last century on New Zealand regimental badges (军队徽章). Badges of the South Canterbury Battalion in 1886 and the Hastings Rifle Volunteers in 1887 both featured kiwis. Later, kiwis appeared on large numbers of military badges. The kiwi symbol began to be recognized internationally in 1906 when Kiwi Shoe Polish was founded in Melbourne by a man with a New Zealand born wife. The polish was widely marketed in Britain and the USA during World War I and later. By 1908, kiwis were appearing in numerous sporting, political, and other newspaper cartoons.
During World War I, New Zealanders carved a giant kiwi on the chalk hill above Sling Camp in England. In Flanders during World War II, the name “kiwi” for New Zealand soldiers came into general use. The Kiwi Football Team, which toured the British Isles, France and Germany in 1945 and 1946 also made the emblem more popular. The kiwi bird has become a national symbol for New Zealand.
4. What do we know about the kiwi
A. It is active at night.
B. It can be found in many countries.
C. It looks big and strong.
D. It can fly far at a time.
5. Kiwis protect themselves with ______.
A. their nocturnal eyesight B. their long beaks
C. their sharp feet D. their wings
6. How long has the kiwi been used as the emblem of the New Zealand Army
A. More than 200 years. B. Less than 100 years.
C. About 130 years. D. More than 150 years.
7. What is the best title for the passage
A. The Emblem of the New Zealand Army
B. A Special Bird
C. The Kiwi in World Wars
D. Kiwi Shoe Polish

Jane Austen was born in Steventon, Hampshire, where her father, Rev. George Austen, was a rector (教区长). She was the second daughter and the seventh child in a family of eight. The Austens did not lose a single one of their children.
The first 25 years of Jane’s life were spent in Hampshire. On her father’s unexpected retirement, the family sold off everything, including Jane’s piano, and moved to Bath. Jane, aged twenty-five, and Cassandra, her elder sister, aged twenty-eight, were considered to be old maids by contemporary standards, and followed their parents. Torn from her friends and rural roots in Steventon, Austen gave up her literary career for a decade.
Jane Austen was mostly tutored at home, and irregularly at school, but she received a broader education than many women of her time. She started to write for family amusement as a child. Her parents were enthusiastic readers. Austen’s own favorite poet was Cowper. Her earliest- known writings date back to about 1787. Very shy about her writing, she wrote on small pieces of paper that she slipped under the desk when anyone came into the room. In her letters she observed the daily lives of her family and friends in an intimate and gossipy(漫谈式的) manner: “James danced with Alethea, and cut up the turkey last night with great perseverance. You say nothing of the silk stockings; I flatter myself (自命不凡), therefore, that Charles has not purchased any, as I cannot very well afford to pay for them; all my money is spent in buying white gloves and pink Persian. ”
8. The family moved to Bath because of ______.
A. too many children
B. her father stopping working
C. Austen’s love of literature
D. the children’s education
9. The underlined word “tutor” in the third paragraph probably means “______”.
A. permit B. control
C. hold D. educate
10. From the letter we learn Austen was a person who ______.
A. liked to talk about other people’s private lives
B. enjoyed studying the details of her daily life
C. was good at observing things in daily life
D. was crazy about his family and friends
