That year , in the local school, there was a new math teacher, as well as some new pupils. One of the new kids was the stupidest child anyone had ever seen. It made no difference how quickly or how slowly they tried explaining numbers to him; he would always end up saying something enormously stupid. Like two plus two was five, seven times three was twenty-seven, or a triangle had thirty corners……
Before this boy arrived, math lessons had been the most boring of all. Now they were great fun. Encouraged by the new teacher, the children would listen to the pieces of nonsense spouted by the new kid, and they would have to correct his mistakes.
Whenever the new teacher asked questions, the stupid kid would stand up but made the wrong answers, the other students all wanted to be the first to find his mistakes, and then think up the most original ways to explain them. To do this they used all kinds of stuff : sweets, playing cards, oranges, paper planes, etc. It didn’t seem like any of this bothered the new kid.
However, Little Lewis was sure that it was bound to make him feel sad inside. Lewis was sure he would see him crying. So, one day, he decided to follow the new kid home after school. On leaving school, the new kid walked a few minutes to a local park, and there he waited for a while, until someone came along to meet him……
It was the new teacher!
The teacher gave the new kid a hug, and off they went, hand in hand. Following from a distance, Lewis could hear they were talking about math.
【小题1】根据短文第二三段描述，可知这位新老师的工作很有创造性，故选A。
【小题2】根据短文最后一段Following from a distance, Lewis could hear they were talking about math.描述，可知选B，这个所谓的最蠢的学生其实比其它学生知道的多。
【小题3】根据Lewis was sure he would see him crying. So, one day, he decided to follow the new kid home after school.描述，可知选B。
【小题4】联系上文To do this they used all kinds of stuff :可知选C。

My grandmother became a widow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the  36  shelter to pick out a dog to keep her  37  . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye.  38  these spots, the dog was named Penny.

Grandma and Penny quickly became very 39 to each other, but that attachment grew much stronger about three years later 40  Grandma had a stroke（中风）. Grandma could no longer

 41  , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were  42  companions.

After her stroke, it became a real  43  for Grandma to let Penny in and out because  44  was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism（机械装置）using a rope and pulley（滑轮）was   45  from the door to a handle at the top of the stairs. Grandma just had to pull the handle to open and close the door. If the store was   46  Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us  47  Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember   48  my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.

As the years passed, it was not  49  for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap（打盹）, Penny stayed by her side until she  50  . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she   51  on the rug （垫子）beside the bed. If Grandma went into the   52  , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and accompany her   53  to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her   54  companion by her side.

The time came when both my grandmother’s and Penny’s   55  were failing fast. After fifteen years of loving companionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other.
