After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled (注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my sons teacher asked me to meet him at his office.In the teachers office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions： “Is your son mentally retarded (弱智的)? Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO, no, it cant be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teachers directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didnt he know my son did not speak English yet?He was angry; “Why hasnt your son been taught to speak English? Dont you speak English at home?”No, I didnt speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didnt want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people.” Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual (双语的)。Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other placessomething very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.21. The teacher asked the author to his office _.A. to discuss Scolas in-class performanceB. to get Scola enrolled in kindergartenC. to find a language partner for ScolaD. to work out a study plan for Scola22. The authors attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as_.A. criticalB. casualC. positiveD. passive23. This text is likely to be selected from a book of _.A. medicineB. educationC. geographyD. historyBActing on a sudden impulse (凭冲动行事), an elderly woman, whose husband had been killed in the Civil War, went into a photographers to have her picture taken. She was seated before the camera, wearing the same hard, forbidding look that had made her fearful to the children living in the neighborhood when the photographer said suddenly, “Brighten the eyes a little.” She tried but failed. “See here,” the elderly woman said sharply, “if you think an old woman who is dull can look bright, or the one who feels cross can become pleasant every time she is told to, you dont know anything about human nature. It takes something from the outside to brighten the eye and the face.”“Oh, no, it doesnt! Its something to be worked from the inside. Try it again,” said the photographer good-naturedly.She tried again and this time with better success. “Thats good! You look twenty years younger.” She went home with a strange feeling in her heart. It was the first compliment she had received since her husband passed away and it left a pleasant memory behind.When she went home, her neighbors soon remarked the change.“Why, Catherine, you are getting younger. How did you manage it?”“It is almost all done from the inside. You just brighten up inside and feel pleasant.”Every emotion tends to shape the body into beauty or into ugliness. Nothing we ever do is wiped out. The way to be beautiful without is to be beautiful within.Men complain because God puts thorns with roses; wouldnt it be better to thank God that he puts roses with thorns? We win half the battle when we make up our minds to take the world as we find it, including the thorns. This is what happens in real life.24.
