We didnt do anything to offend her and she didnt know us but that didnt matter. As new female teachers in the Emirati School, we Westerners greeted her every day. Whenever we saw her, she avoided eye contact with us. Eventually, some of us stopped trying to befriend her.Well after 16 months in the school, we had a secret pal gifting. I drew her name from the glass jar and that meant she was my secret pal. My role was to buy her a gift and say something about her when we publicly acknowledged who our secret pal was.I bought her a small rose arrangement and asked someone to write a message on it and then sent it to her room. She was so touched. Next day I sent a bottle of shampoo but I wrote the message in English because she needed to know her secret pal was a Westerner before the day of the “big reveal”. I also sent her a fragrant candle.I had brought a few gifts from Ireland when I returned to the Middle East in September. I decided to gift her a silver coloured bangle.Then came the day of the “big reveal”. We all gathered in the staff meeting room and everyone was excited. The host said, “Several days ago, when you received your gift, you wrote a few kind words about your secret pal and passed the gift to them.” She taught music in the school so I said, “My secret pal is someone who brings music to our ears every day of the week.” I didnt even need to say her name because everyone knew exactly who I meant.She came forward with a huge warm smile. She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and graciously accepted my gifts. I think everyones understanding of things is subjective, so we should have more communication with people around us.1、How did the woman respond to the Westerners greetings?AShe blamed them.BShe kept away from seeing their eyes.CShe treated them kindly.DShe avoided meeting them again.2、What was the author supposed to do after knowing the name of her secret friend?APrepare a gift for her.BWrite a speech about her.CFind out who it is.DChat with her.3、Why did the author write the message in English in paragraph 3?ATo show other teachers her identity.BTo teach the woman some English.CT
