They can be a little frightening as we step into the unknown, but they can also inspire us as they give us fresh hope for the future. First days are powerful as we can leave our mistakes and failures in the past and make a new start.I want to share a story that perfectly illustrates this point. It is a story about a little girl named Trisha. Trisha was born into a family of teachers who had taught her that reading was the key to knowledge. She watched her older brother as he read his schoolbooks and could hardly wait for the day when she would learn to read.But when Trisha finally started school, she found that she was not able to understand the words like the other boys and girls. No matter how hard she tried, the letters mixed up together, and she saw only confusion. Trisha fell further behind, the other children laughed and made fun of her, and she began to believe that she was not smart. By the time Trisha entered fifth grade, she had lost all confidence I herself. That was the year she met Mr. Falker. He was different. He praised Trisha's talents, and he wouldn't tolerate the other children teasing her. Mr. Falker realized that Trisha didnt know how to read, but he knew she could with some help.He recruited（招聘）a reading specialist, and together they worked with Trisha after school. They helped her to write letters ad hear the sounds until one day Mr. Falker handed her a book and she read it all by herself. Shedidn't even notice the tears in his eyes.This is a true story. The little girl is Patricia Polacco, the famous childrens author, and thank you Mr. Falker is the twenty-sixth book that she has written.Mr. Falker gave her a fresh new start when she walked into his fifth grade class on that first day of school. And he made a difference in her life.We can all make a difference in the worldone student at a time by using "first days" with wisdom andgrace, and giving each individual the chance to start over and become the best that they can be.（1） Trisha fell far behind in school because she .A. was not confident B. was looked down upon by othersC. did not know how to read D. did not try her best（2） The passage is probably intended for .A. teachers B. students C. childrens authors D. reading specialists（3） How does the writer make his point?A.
