17、.She said,“Teddy,you have it all wrong.You were the one who taught me that I could make adifference.I didnt know how to teach until I met you.”(828 words),一生中最好的老师凯基利乌斯斯塔提乌斯 这个故事说的是多年前一名叫汤普森夫人的小学老师。在开学的第一天，她站在五年级全班学生面前，对孩子们撒了一个谎。像大多数老师一样，她看着同学们，说她会一视同仁地爱他们每一个人。但这是不可能的，因为前排座位上就坐着个萎靡不振的小男孩，他叫泰迪斯托达德。汤普
18、森夫人从去年就开始留意泰迪，发觉他不大和其他孩子一起玩儿，衣衫不整，身上总是很脏，而且，泰迪还不讨人喜欢。汤普森夫人甚至喜欢上用粗红笔在泰迪的考卷上打上些大大的叉，并在卷子上方写个大大的“F”。汤普森夫人执教的学校要求老师浏览每个孩子的档案，她把泰迪的放在最后才看。可是，她翻阅泰迪的档案时，不禁大吃一惊。泰迪一年级老师的评语是：“泰迪是一个聪明的孩子，开朗爱笑，作业工整，礼貌待人与他在一起很开心。”,Text A-Translation,Text A-Translation,二年级老师的评语是：“泰迪是个优秀的学生，同学们都很喜欢他。但是，他母亲得了绝症，他很苦恼，家里生活肯定也很艰难。”他三
19、年级老师的评语是：“他母亲的去世对他打击很大。尽管他试图努力表现，但他父亲不大理会。如果不采取措施，他的家庭生活很快就会影响到他。”他四年级老师的评语是：“泰迪性格孤僻，有厌学情绪。他朋友不多，上课有时候睡觉。”看到这里，汤普森夫人明白了问题所在，她为自己感到羞愧。当同学们送给她圣诞礼物时，她更无地自容了。那些礼物都用漂亮的包装纸包着，扎着美丽的彩带，唯有泰迪的例外。他的礼物用杂货袋的厚厚的棕色纸粗陋地包着。在一堆礼物中间，汤普森夫人拆开了泰迪送的礼物。当看到里面放的是一串缺少了一些珠子的莱茵石手镯，还有1/4瓶香水的时候，有些孩子开始笑出声来。汤普森夫人制止了孩子们的嘲笑，并大声赞叹手镯多么
20、漂亮。她戴上手镯，还在手腕处喷了点儿香水。那天放学以后，泰迪斯托达德留下来对汤普森夫人说：“汤普森夫人，您今天身上的味道像我妈妈。”,Text A-Translation,孩子们走后，她哭了至少一个小时。从那天起，她不再单纯教阅读、写作和算术，而是开始教孩子们如何做人。汤普森夫人特别关注泰迪。在她的悉心教导下，他的思维似乎变得敏捷起来。她越鼓励他，他的反应就越快。到了年底，泰迪已在全班名列前茅。一年后，汤普森夫人发现门下有张泰迪写来的便条，说她仍然是他一生中碰到的最好的老师。又过了6年，她又收到了泰迪的短笺，说他以全班第三名的成绩高中毕业，而她仍然是他遇见过的最好的老师。又过了4年，她又收到泰
21、迪的来信，说他很快就要以优异的成绩大学毕业。又一个4年，又来了一封信。这次他解释到，拿到学士学位后，他继续深造去了。他在这封信中说明，她依然是他一生中最好、最喜欢的老师。不过，这次他的署名长了一点，信的落款是：西奥多F斯托达德医学博士。,Text A-Translation,故事并没有就此结束。你瞧，那年春天，又来了一封信。泰迪在信上说，他交了女友，俩人就要结婚了。他解释说，他爸爸几年前去世了，所以他想知道在他们的婚礼上，汤普森夫人是否愿意坐在他母亲的位子上。汤普森夫人当然愿意了。婚礼上，他们互相拥抱，斯托达德博士对汤普森夫人耳语道：“汤普森夫人，谢谢您对我的信任！非常感谢您对我的重视，是您让
22、我明白了自己的价值。”汤普森夫人热泪盈眶，低声答道：“泰迪，你搞错了。是你让我明白自己可以有所作为。在遇到你以后，我才知道怎样教育孩子。”,And,Teddy could be unpleasant.(Para.1)Paraphrase:And,Teddy was not pleasing to others.,1.,【译文】,而且，泰迪还不讨人喜欢。,It got to the point where Mrs.Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with abroad red pen,making bold X
