第I卷 第一部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A 难度：★★ I often show my middle school students inspiring videos to start their day. I never know which ones will make a huge impact, but I know they always reach some level to the kids. I recently showed my students the video, where the resounding(响亮的) message was “I am enough.” When the video about helping the needy was over, I went around our circle and had each student say out loud, “I am enough.” It was amazing to see their backs straighten and their faces brighten as they said the message. A friend of mine also watched the video, and felt moved. He was so moved that I went to my mailbox and discovered a beautiful ring stamped with “I am enough.” My eyes were instantly filled with tears because it was such a gift of kindness he gave me. I recognized how this simple video was rippling(起涟漪). The following day, I shared the story of my gift with my class, and they were just as moved as I was. I thought the ripples would never end. The following day I was leaving my classroom, and I noticed my warm-up white board had been changed. Instead of the instructions I had for the following morning, one of my students had written on it, “I am enough. You are enough.” I loved the addition of “You are enough.” because it showed me they were not only thinking about their value but the value of others. How beautiful was that? Did the ripples end there? Of course not. The next morning I received an email from one of the parents in my classroom. She told me she found her daughter had drawn a picture of hearts and the words, “I am enough. You are enough.” surrounding those. I couldn’t believe this simple saying was reaching so deeply and so far. |
