I had worried myself sick over Simon's mother coming to see me. I was a new teacher, and I gave an honest account of the students' work. In Simon's case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn't read his own handwriting. But he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his abilities.
So when Simon's mother entered the room, my palms (手掌心) were sweating. I was completely unprepared for her kisses on both my cheeks. "I came to thank you," she said, surprising me beyond speech. Because of me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he loved me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had recently spent an afternoon at a friend's house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the self-respect I had developed in her son. She kissed me again and left.
I sat, stunned, for about half an hour,wondering what had just happened. How did I make such a life changing difference to that boy without even knowing it?What I finally came to remember was one day, several months before,when some students were giving reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke quietly,and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simon's the expert on this. He is the only one you have to convince, and he can't hear you in the back of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, smiled more,and became happy. And it was all because he happened to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed praise was the one who took the last seat that day.
It taught me the most valuable lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I'm thankful that it came early and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.
【小题1】We can infer that when Simon’s mother entered the room, the writer felt _______.
A.nervousB.satisfiedC.happyD.surprised
【小题2】Why did Simon's mother come to visit the writer?
A.Because she worried about her son's poor work.
B.Because Simon asked her to do so.
C.Because she wanted to show her gratitude to the writer.
D.Because she wanted to know her son's performance in the school.
【小题3】The following words can be used to describe Simon before he met the writer EXCEPT _____.
A.unconfidentB.lonelyC.cleverD.outgoing
【小题4】The purpose of the passage is to ________.
A.share a valuable lesson with readers
B.tell teachers how to be kind to students
C.advise the readers to be kind to others

School phobia is a type of illness which causes the students, typically between the ages of 8-13, to be afraid to go to school. Symptoms include stomachaches, tiredness, shaking, a racing heart and frequent trips to the toilet.
【小题1】. Most commonly it is the result of separation anxiety, but it can also be caused by different kinds of stress. A child who has recently moved, suffered a loss, or gone through a divorce may develop school phobia, and phobias can also develop in response to an unrecognized learning disability, and poor self-image.
【小题2】. He or she may become physically ill when ordered to school, or pretend to be sick to avoid going. When the child arrives at school, he or she may run away, or develop behavioral problems in class. When school is discussed, the child can become impatient, upset or angry.
Many techniques can be used to manage school phobia. But research suggests that much more effective treatment is required for school phobia to prevent problems developing in later life. Children with this condition usually benefit from seeing a psychologist or doctor.【小题3】. As soon as a school phobia is identified, parents should take action too. Like other phobias, school phobia gets worse if it is left untreated, and it can prevent the child from succeeding in school.【小题4】. If bullying (child abuse) is a cause, for example, the bullying situation should be solved. A teacher can meet the child at the door and take him or her to class, and provide support so that the child feels a friendly adult is always available.
Changes at home can include supportive language from parents, along with support like assistance with homework. If a child lacks confidence, parents may encourage the child to take up new hobbies.【小题5】. Parents might also talk to their children about their own fears of school and how they got over them, and their own enjoyment of school and school-like activities.
A.It will help children to feel good about themselves.
B.But a child with phobia refuses to accept adults’ support.
C.A child with school phobia usually refuses to go to school.
D.Adjustments can be made at home and in the classroom to help.
 
E.This common phobia is associated with a wide variety of causes.
F.The most effective treatment is to help the child have a sense of success.
G.And the assistance can help parents and school officials support the child.
