  Ron never intended to become a teacher.“All I wanted was a life filled with adventure,”he once explained.Ron’s first teaching job came after he unwillingly visited a school near his home in North Carolina.A student asked if Ron would be his teacher, and Ron couldn’t turn him down.He accepted the job and the change of raising the class’s low test scores.Ron’s unique methods not only raised test scores but also gained worldwide attention.

  Five years later, Ron moved to Harlem, a low-income neighborhood in New York City.The schools there lacked good teachers, which affected students’ academic performance.Ron made an effort to connect with his students by visiting their families and learning their recess(课间的)games.His students responded by studying harder and performing better.

  Because of his accomplishments in North Carolina and Harlem, Ron Clark has become one of the most distinguished teachers in America.But, more than anything else, he has become famous for his book called The Essential 55

  The essential 55 are Clark’s rules for everything from having good manners to having a good attitude.The book includes rules such as addressing adults as“sir”and“ma’am”, making eye contact, and speaking politely on the phone.The rules not only cover classroom behavior and manners but also encourage students to live life to the fullest.Rule 51 says,“Live so that you will never have regrets.”And Rule 55, simply states,“Be the best person you can be.”

  There are some differences in replying to compliment between Chinese and Americans.Americans tend to accept the compliment while Chinese generally murmur(低语)some reply about not being worthy of the praise.Here are two examples.

  A young Chinese woman in the U.S.was complimented for the lovely dress that she was wearing.“It’s graceful.The colors are so beautiful!” She was pleased but somewhat embarrassed.In typical Chinese fashion, she replied, “Oh, it’s just an ordinary dress that I bought in China.”

  At a reception in an American college, a newly-arrived Chinese scholar was chatting with the hostess, who was an old friend.As an acquaintance(熟人)of hers came up, she said, “Ron, let me introduce Mr.Chen, an outstanding physicist and one of the nicest people I know.” Mr.Chen offered his hand to the newcomer but looked at his hostess and said with a smile, “Should I feel ashamed, or should I tell him you don’t really mean it?”

  In both cases, the words of the Chinese conveyed a message quite different from what was intended.In the case of the Chinese woman, the reply could have meant that the one paying the compliment did not know what a really good dress is; otherwise, how could she get so excited about an ordinary dress? The implication(暗示)was that the American woman’s taste in clothing was questionable.In the second case, if Chen had not been smiling, he could have meant “You’re just saying that to be polite; you don’t really mean that.” So in one case, the person had poor judgment.In the other case, the hostess was not sincere.Quite a gap between intention and message!

(1)

Which word can best replace the underlined word compliment in Paragraph 1?

[  ]

A.

praise

complaint

explanation

D.

blame

(2)

D.

(3)

The following statements are true except.

[  ]

A.

both stories happened in the USA

B.

Mr.Chen achieved achievements in physics

C.

the dress was a beautiful one

D.

Mr.Chen worked in the USA for long
