A few weeks ago, I went into Chase's class for help. I e-mailed Chase's teacher one evening and said, "My son keeps telling me that the thing you're sending home is math -- but I'm not sure I believe him. Help, please." She e-mailed right back and said, "No problem! I can help Chase after school anytime." And I said, "No, not him. Me. He gets it. Help me."

And that’s why I stayed with Chase’s math teacher. We talked about teaching children. We agreed that subjects like math and reading are not the most important things that are learned in a classroom. We also talked about something else —— kindness and bravery.

And then she told me this.

Every Friday afternoon Chase's teacher asks her students to take out a piece of paper and write down the names of four children with whom they'd like to sit the following week. She also asks the students to nominate(推荐) one student who they think is the most popular student that week. They needn’t write down their names on the paper.

After the students go home, she takes out those pieces of paper, and studies them.

In fact, Chase's teacher is not looking for a new seating chart or "popular students." She is looking for lonely children. She's looking for the ones who are unwilling to connect with others. She is discovering whose gifts are not noticed by their classmates. Then she gets to know who needs help.

After watching Columbine the wise woman realized that all violence(暴力) comes from loneliness. So she decided to start fighting violence early and often, and what she is doing is SAVING LIVES.

And she finds the lonely kids through those lists and tries to help them. It's math to her. All is love – even math.

1.____ wants to get help according to the first paragraph of the passage?

A. Chase　　　　　　 B. Chase’s teacher

C. Chase’s parent D. the popular student

2.Why does Chase’s teacher ask her students to write down some names on paper?

A. Because She is looking for the popular student.

B. Because she is looking for a new seating chart.

C. Because she wants to help her students learn math.

D. Because she wants to find the lonely children.

3.Which of the following is the correct order?

a. The students write down some names

b. The students take out paper

c. Chase’s teacher helps the lonely kids

d. Chase’s teacher studies the lists

e. Chase’s teacher finds who needs help

A. badce B. badec C. abdce D. adbec

4.The best title should be ______?

A. Teaching math

B. Loneliness

C. Looking for the lonely

D. Popular students

A few years ago, my husband and I were on an island for a long week with our two little daughters. As we talked about what to do next, our daughter jumped in and told us exactly what they wanted to do. We agreed.

As soon as we walked into the main area of the butterfly museum, we saw thousands of beautiful butterflies. They all flew with their colorful wings. My girls were jumping up and down, and I knew we had made the right decision to come to the museum. They were having so much fun.

I turned to our guide (导游) and asked curiously(好奇地), “How long do butterflies live?”

She said, “About ten days.”

“What can butterflies do in ten days?”

The guide stopped, looked at me, and said, “They make the world a more beautiful place.”

After we said goodbye, I couldn’t stop thinking about what the guide had said. She was right. We all have something to offer（主动提供）the world with the time we have. If we spend the time doing what we can for others, we all can make the world a better place.

A few weeks ago, our dog, which we had kept for more than ten years, had to be put down. First，a tumor on her stomach got worse, and she was very painful. Then，the pain in her back got so serious that sometimes she would lie down in the middle of a walk and couldn’t take another step.

I didn’t know the fact until a week after that. Then I was very sad and cried a lot. She was more like a sister to me than a pet. So I was very angry at my stepfather, Steve, who had not told us the truth at once. He explained that he didn't want to worry us, and he didn't want me to get depressed(沮丧的) and fail my exams. Before that, I always thought that Jennie had been still at the animals' hospital.

“She was my dog! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye.” I couldn’t help shouting.

Steve just sat still. People in my family had a habit of keeping unpleasant things from me. They thought they were protecting me. But that’s not true. Once I got the bad news, I might be much more painful for some moments that I had missed. I turned to my mom, and she said, “I know. I’m angry, too.” After a while, she added, “Poor Steve had to go through all this on his own.” Hearing that, I immediately shut up my mouth and was lost in deep thought.

Maybe I had been so focused on myself so much. That dog was also Steve’s baby. He’d had her for longer than he’d had us---but he had to make the difficult decision to end her life, and then kept in silence for an entire week.

My anger began to melt away, and I could guess what Steve might feel these days.

My mom’s words have constantly haunted in my ear and in my mind till now. Sometimes, we should think more of others’ pain.

1.The phrase “put down” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _________.

A. kept　　 B. set free　　 C. cut open　　 D. killed

2.What can we learn about the pet dog?

A. Some terrible tumors on her stomach got worse.

B. She had been kept by Steve since she was born.

C. She had been badly ill and quite painful.

D. The family gave up the treatment as soon as they knew Jennie got ill.

3.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A. Steve always kept everything in himself alone.

B. The family often told white lies to the author to protect her.

C. The author’s mom didn’t understand her feeling.

D. The author’s mom thought Steve shouldn’t withstand so much pain alone.

4.How did the author feel at last?

A. Angry and stressful.　　 B. Regretful and sorry.

C. Anxious and uneasy.　　 D. Disappointed and bored.

5.The best title of the passage could be ________.

A. A Right Decision　　 B. Believe in Ourselves

C. Try to Put Yourself in other’s Shoes　　 D. My Stepfather and I
