Mr Goodney encouraged me but I just couldn’t seem to please Mr Goodney，no matter how hard I worked.I continued to see the dreaded B’s，sometimes even a C，so frequently that I said goodbye to my hopes of being a middle student.I was a really diligent nerd(令人厌烦的人)． Yet at the end of the semester when report cards came out，I had an“A”next to my English class，and I realized that the letter he had written on my report card was just a way to make me work harder than I ever had.He made me push myself to think deeper，write better，and analyze more thoroughly.He didn’t hate me as I initially thought，and I looked back embarrassed about all those times I showed frustration and dissatisfaction with a returned grade. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 He would write a positive comment on one of my papers that would invigorate_me to work even harder even if I made a little bit progress.These sporadic(零星的)good words would motivate me to do whatever it took to earn those praising comments on my next paper and push me to try and top my last assignment.After we all improved he expected perfection and those high standards made all of us better writers， creators，good students，and useful people. Mr Goodney inspired me to become an English teacher although I felt like I fell below his standards in a classroom.Now I have become a high school teacher.Thinking of him from time to time makes me try to come up with fresh and creative teaching ways just as he did. From my experience I believe a good teacher is very important.Mr Goodney inspires me to this day，and I wish I could travel back to the 9th grade for just one day in the old classroom，so I can fully appreciate him，which I didn’t do at that time. 作者永远不会忘记他在九年级时的英语老师。在这位老师的鼓励和帮助下，作者终于成 为有用之才。 1．According to the passage，Mr Goodney graded the author ______.

So where does this leave you？The way I see it is if you want to“Heal Your Life”then you had b etter learn how to play“The Game of Life”by learning how to“Slow Down to the Speed of Life”and keep the“Four Agreements”．The solution may not be easy to do but it is simple.In fact，most solutions are pretty simple， and it is us humans that want to complicate it. 本文是一篇书评，作者推荐了四本能改变人的思想和生活的书。 5 ． The underlined part“scoffed at”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by“______”． A．made fun of B．put forward C．agreed with D．referred to 解析：词义猜测题。根据句中．..but it is now widely accepted...可推断，当她首 次提出这样的观点时，遭到很多人的嘲笑，后来被广泛接受，故答案为 A 项。 答案：A 6．According to the author，people who are lacking in personal freedom should read ______.
