6、lion.Veryneatinappearance,hehadthathappy-to-be-aliveattitudethatmadeevenhisoccasionalmischievousnessdelightful。我在明尼苏达州莫里斯的圣玛丽学校教书，他在我教的第一个三年级的班上。全班34个学生每一个都讨我喜欢，但马克middot;埃克隆却是唯一无二的。他外表干干净净，是个乐天派，所以即使是他偶然的淘气捣蛋，也仍然讨人喜欢。Markoftentalkedincessantly.Ihadtoremindhimagainandagainthattalkingwithoutpermissio

8、谢谢你指出我的问题，修女!起初，我不知该作何反响，但很快，我便习惯了一天听到这句话好多遍。OnemorningmypatiencewasgrowingthinwhenMarktalkedoncetoooften,andthenImadeanovice-teachersmistake.Ilookedathimandsaid,Ifyousayonemoreword,Iamgoingtotapeyourmouthshut!一天早上，马克又一次讲个不停，我终于不耐烦了，于是犯了个新教师才会犯的错误。我盯着他讲：“再讲一个字，我就拿胶带把你的嘴封上!ItwasnttensecondslaterwhenC

11、youforcorrectingme,Sister.接下来的一幕我至今仍记忆犹新，仿佛就发生在今天早上。我走到讲桌前，不慌不忙拉打开抽屉，拿出一卷胶带，然后一言不发地走到马克桌前，撕下两截胶带，在他嘴上贴了个大大的“X，然后转身走回教室前面。我瞟了瞟马克看他有什么反响，结果看到他朝我眨了眨眼睛。而当我回到马克桌前给他撕下胶带时，他讲的第一句话便是：“谢谢你指出我的问题，修女。OneFriday,Iaskedthestudentstolistthenamesoftheotherstudentsintheroomontwosheetsofpaper,leavingaspacebetweeneach

12、name.ThenItoldthemtothinkofthenicestthingtheycouldsayabouteachoftheirclassmatesandwriteitdown.Ittooktheremainderoftheclassperiodtofinishtheassignment,andasthestudentslefttheroom,eachonehandedmethepaper。在一个星期五，我让同学们把班上除本人之外其他同学的名字写在两张纸上，名字与名字间留点空隙。然后我让他们想想每位同学最好的地方是什么，并把这也写下来。大家用那堂课剩余的时间完成了这项任务，到下课离开

13、教室的时候他们把各自的两张纸交给了我。ThatSaturday,Iwrotedownthenameofeachstudentonaseparatesheetofpaper,andIlistedwhateveryoneelsehadsaidaboutthatindividual.OnMondayIgaveeachstudenthisorherlist.Beforelong,theentireclasswassmiling.Really?Iheardthewhispers.Ineverknewthatmeantanythingtoanyone!Ididntknowotherslikedmesomu

14、ch!ThenMarksaid,Thankyouforteachingme,Sister.星期六的时候，我分别把每位同学的名字各写在一张纸上，然后把其他同学对他的评价列在上面。到了星期一，我把各人的单子分发给他们。很快全班同学脸上都扬起了笑容。“真有这么好?我听见有人轻声讲。“我从不知道那会对别人有意义!还有人讲：“原来大家这么喜欢我啊!而马克讲：“修女，感谢你的教诲。Nooneevermentionedthosepiecesofpaperinclassagain.Ineverknewiftheydiscussedthemafterclassorwiththeirparents。后来再没人在课

15、堂上提起过这些纸，我也不清楚他们有没有在课下与同学或者父母议论过。SoonIwasaskedtoteachjunior-highmath.Theyearsflewby,andbeforeIknewitMarkwasinmyclassroomagain.Hewasmorehandsomeandmorepolitethanever.Maybesincehehadtolistencarefullytomyinstructioninthenewmath,hedidnottalkasmuchintheninthgradeashehadinthethird。很快我就被调去教初中数学了。几年的时间一晃而过，

16、在我还未意识到的时候，马克又出如今了我的课堂。他比以前帅气了，人也愈加彬彬有礼。也许是由于他必须认真听我用“新数学法讲课，九年级的他不再像三年级时那样爱讲话了。Thatgroupofstudentsmovedon。就这样，这一批学生毕业了。Severalyearslater,afterIreturnedfromvacation,myparentsmetmeattheairport.MothergaveDadaside-waysglanceandsimplysaid,Dad?Myfatherclearedhisthroatasheusuallydidbeforesayingsomethingim

18、个过来。“是吗?我讲，“好几年没他们的消息了，不知道马克怎么样了。爸爸轻声地回答道：“马克在战争中牺牲了，葬礼在明天举行。他父母希望你能去参加。Ihadneverseenaservicemaninamilitarycoffinbefore.Marklookedsohandsome,somature。我从未见过军人躺在军用棺材里的样子。马克看上去是那样英俊，那样成熟。Afterthefuneral,Marksmotherandfatherfoundme.Wewanttoshowyousomething,hisfathersaid.TheyfoundthisonMarkwhenhewaskille

20、at.Marksmothersaid.Asyoucansee,Markbehavedbetterandbetteratschool.Itsallbecauseofyouandyourlist.葬礼结束后，马克的父母找到了我。“我们想给您看一样东西，他爸爸讲，“马克牺牲的时候他们在他身上找到了这个。我们想您可能认得。他打开皮夹，小心翼翼地取出两张破损不堪的笔记本纸。很明显，这两张纸用胶带补过、反复折叠过。不用看我也知道，这就是当初那两张纸，我当时把马克的同学们对他的表扬都写在了上面。“您所做的这些，我们感谢不尽，马克的妈妈讲，“您也看到了，马克在学校里的表现越来越好。这都归功于您和您的这张单子。

24、所以，趁一切都还来得及，去赞美你爱着、关心着的人吧!英语四级美文听力原文篇三用积极的行动去讲话Goalsaremeanttobeachieved.Tosucceedinlife,thinkabouthowyoucantakepostiveactionseverydaytoaccomplishyourgoals.Itmaynotbeasdifficultasitseems,butitdefinitelyrequiresaction.So,putyouractionsintooverdriveandmakethemostofyourefforts.Youcantrulymakeeveryactio
