21、cted to the web often become inactive in real life. C“Why do we have to learn this useless thing?” Of all the questions I have heard from my students during my years in the classroom, this was the one most frequently asked. I would answer it by telling them about an experience I once had. It was an

22、experience I had with a students, who I shall call Alan, early in my teaching career. When Alan was in the eighth grade, he majored in “trouble”. He had studied how to be a bully(恃强凌弱者) and was getting his masters degree in “thievery”. Every day I had my students memorize a famous saying from a grea

23、t thinker. No one complained about this daily routine more than Alan right up to the day he was dismissed. Then I lost touch with him for five years. Then one day, he called. He told me that after being sent to juvenile prison(少年犯管教所), he hated himself so much that he had cut his wrists with a knife

24、. He said, “You know what? Mr. Schlatter, as I lay there with my life running out of my body, I suddenly remembered that useless saying you made me write twenty times one day. There is no failure except in no longer trying. Then it suddenly made sense to me. As long as I was alive, I wasnt a failure

25、, but if I allowed myself to die, I would most certainly die a failure. So with my remaining strength, I called for help and started a new life.” At the time he had heard the saying, it as a pebble(鹅卵石) which made no sense to him.

Try to collect as many pebbles as we can because they will become shining diamonds one day 21. What would be the best title? A. Alan B. A Saying C. Pebbles D. A Story DSpeaking from my past experie

29、nce, it is very difficult to find good friends that you can trust but once you have found them, they are worth keeping forever! Therefore, I think friendship is the most important relationship that anybody could have. The qualities I look for in a friend are a good sense of humor but sensitivity whe

30、n it matters. Also that friend would have to be strong-minded and highly spirited. I think that these qualities are the key qualities to look for in a good friend.Even the strongest friends can still have arguments, although usually about more serious topics, rather than the usual teenage childish arguments. Some matters can seriously affect a friendship. If one of your friends started experimenting with harmful and dangerous drugs, what would you do ?
