    　　Many years ago my student asked me the question,“Mrs．Kindred, why do you teach?”Without taking time to reflect, I answered,“Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life．”Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide．

    　　“Let me get this straight,”he said,“You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?”He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused．I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift．

    　　Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder．On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach：

    　　It's in my blood．My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990．She instilled(逐渐灌输)in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors for．

    　　Teaching is a way to make a difference．If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore．You can't have ripples without a“stone．”Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that's what I strive to do．

    　　I genuinely love teenagers．

    　　I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years．Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes(洞坑)on the road of life, I want to do so．If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too．

    　　Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice．

    (1)

    B．

    Because the writer was insincere．

    C．

    Because the student was naughty．

    D．

    Because the answer was difficult to understand．

    (2)

    What do you think of the writer?

    [　　]

    A．

    Stupid．

    B．

    Honest．

    C．

    Conservative(保守的)．

    D．

    Polite．

    (3)

    HOUSTON (Reuters) — Houston tops a U.S. magazine’s annual fattest cities list for the fourth time in five years, with four other Texas cities in the top 25.

    　　Fast food restaurants — Houston has twice the national average number — are partly to blame for the dishonor, Men’s Fitness editor-in-chief Neal Boulton said.

    　　“Americans work long hours, don’t take vacations, and when they’re faced with the worst food choices, they indulge (沉溺于) in those,” he said.

    　　High humidity, poor air quality and some of the nation’s longest commute (每天去上班的路程) times also helped Texas’ most populous city unseat Detroit, the 2003 heavy weight champion, the magazine said.

    　　Houston Mayor Bill White, who has worked with a major food company to develop healthy food products and the city’s public schools to improve lunch menus, called the report “mostly ungrounded and nonsense.”

    　　“On the other hand, it calls attention to real issues the mayor is trying to deal with,” his spokesman, Frank Michel, said.

    　　The magazine said it looked at factors such as the number and types of restaurants, park space, air quality, weather and the number of health clubs.

    　　Philadelphia, Detroit, Memphis, Tennessee, and Chicago followed Houston on the seventh edition of the fat list. Texas cities Dallas, San Antonio, Fort Worth and El Paso were in the top 14, which Boulton said was no surprise.

    　　“It’s pure big indulgence, just living big, and that’s part of the culture,” said Boulton.

    　　Seattle ranked as the fittest city. Austin and Arlington, a Dallas-Fort Worth suburb, were the only Texas cities on the fit list. Austin was 19th and Arlington 22nd out of 25.

    1.What decides the magazine’s annual fattest list?

    A．The size of fat population.

    B．The number of fast food restaurants.

    C．The economic growth rate of the state.

    D．Things related to unhealthy ways of life.

    2.Which city topped 2003 fattest cities list?

    　 

    A．Houston.

    B．Dallas.

    C．Detroit.

    D．Philadelphia.

    3.By saying “living big” (in Paragraph 9), Boulton means people _________.

    A．are growing fatter

    B．are living wastefully

    　

    C．eat too many fatty foods

    D．are spending too much time working

    4.Which of the following is best supported by the text?

    A．Texas has the most fat cities in the U.S.

    B．Bill White is happy with the newspaper report.

    C．People in Texas are the most hardworking in the U.S.

    D．Most school children in Houston have weight problems.
