A

Dear editor,

My English teacher is very s trict with us. Several days ago, when we were in class, Tom asked me a question. But she thought we were speaking in class. She asked us to stand at the back of the classroom for a few minutes. This made me very sad. After that, I feel nervous in her class, so I don’t like her class. However, I really want to learn English well. What should I do?

Yours,

Mike

Dear Mike,

I am sorry you are having difficulty with your English class. Every teacher wants his or her students to study hard. So I think you should have a talk with your English teacher and tell her what you were doing with Tom that day. If she knows your worries, maybe she will help you with your English. And she will be pleased to hear you want to learn English well. I believe when students are not trying as hard as they can, a teacher is forced(被迫)to take action.

Yours,

Editor

A famous doctor once received a little child who was badly ill. Thanks to his skill and care, his young patient got well and was soon able to get up and run about again.

The child's mother was very thankful to the doctor, and she visited him to thank him for what he had done for her child. "Doctor," she said, "you have saved my little son. I don't know how to thank you enough. I feel that money alone cannot repay (报答) you, so I have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my thanks. I hope you will accept it." The doctor stood up and said coldly, "Madam, a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be paid properly (恰当的) for what he has done." The lady was so surprised and hurt so much that she could not reply for a moment. Then she said quietly, "Perhaps you will tell me how much your fee is." "Fifty pounds", he answered.

The lady opened the little purse and took out four fifty-pound bank notes. She handed one of them to the doctor, and put the other three back into the purse. She put the purse into her handbag and, saying goodbye to the doctor, went out of the room.

54. The lady was thankful to the doctor because          .

A. he had saved her life                         B. he had saved her son's life

C. he had lent her some money                   D. he often called on her
