I grew up in a tiny Baltimore row house in a faraway mountain area. My parents    36    the necessities of life    37    they couldn’t give much more. If I asked my father    38    a pair of jeans, he would say, “If you want them, make the money and buy them    39   .” He wasn’t being mean; he just couldn’t    40    them. From age 12 on, I did part-time jobs after school.

       When I    41    from high school, I joined the navy. Soon I was in a boot camp(新兵训练营) at Parris Island, S. C., where I learned that life in the navy centered around completing daily

   42   . These could be anything from cleaning the camp to conducting mock(模拟的) battles. Completing these tasks successfully    43    discipline, team-work and responsibility. It didn’t

   44    whether you were black, white or Asian; everyone worked together for the    45   of the company.

I went    46    to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy and later became an officer in the navy. The part of my job I    47    most was the comseling(咨询) meeting I    48     with the family members of the men and women in my    49   , trying to help them deal with the long periods of    50   . These proved popular and word of them spread.   51    I was being asked to give encouraging    52    to business groups, educators and keds across the country.

But I consider the boot camp my first real    53   , and my life is still guided by the

   54    lessons I hearned there. It taught me discipline, friendship and the pride related to setting a task every day and working hard to    55    it.

When I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. I’ve lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but

Mr. Clark wouldn’t let that happen.

Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scoresof our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.

Mr. Clark was selected as Disney’s 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names, Mr. Clark said, “You’re all going.”

On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn’t want his class to end. In 2001, hemoved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and wrote a bestselling book based on his classroom rules, The Essential 55. In 2003,

Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit orphanages(孤儿院). It was the most amazing experience of my life. It’s now my dream to one day start a group of women’s clubs, helping people from all backgrounds.

Dogs wag(摇摆) their tails in different directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a study has found.

       Researchers in Italy  examined the tail wagging behaviour of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli(刺激物) with video camems. To conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years. The dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at Bari Umversity. The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow for them to view various stimuli. They were tested one at a time.

       The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners—a positive expenence—their tails wagged energetically to the right side. When they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. The appears of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less intensity again. The appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a German shepherd, changed the direction of tail wagging to the left. Research ers supposed the dog was thinking of moving back. When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company. While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood (心情) of dogs. Computer and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.

C.not wag at all                                               D.wag to the left and then to the right
