Years ago a John Hopkin's professor gave a group of graduate students this task: Go to the slums (贫民窟). Take 200 boys, between the ages of 12 and 16, and research into their background and environment. Then predict their chances for the future.

The students, after consulti ng social statistics, talking to the boys, and compiling (汇编) much data, concluded that 90 percent of the boys would spend some time in prison. Twenty-five years later another group of graduate students was given the job of testing the prediction. They

went back to the same area. Some of the boys—by then men—were still there, a few had died, some had moved away, but they got in touch with 180 of the original 200. They found that only four of the group had ever been sent to prison.

Why was it that these men, who had lived in a breeding(滋生)place of crime, had such a surprisingly good record? The researchers were continually told: “Well, there was a teacher...”

They pressed further, and found that in 75 percent of the cases it was the same woman. The researchers went to this teacher, now living in a home for retired teachers. How had she exerted (发挥) this remarkable influence over that group of children? Could she give them any reason why these boys should have remembered her? “No，” she said, “no I really couldn't.” And then, thinking back over the years, she said amusingly, more to herself than to her questioners: “I loved those boys.” 1．What were a group of graduate students instructed to do? A. To research into the living conditions of the poor citizens. B. To foretell what the future might have in store for poor kids.

C. To study 200 boys in the slums between 12 to 16 and predict their future. D. To survey the background and environment of 200 teenagers.

2．Seeing only four boys with bad records, the researchers pr- obably felt________. A. relieved B. surprised C. disappointed D. frustrated

3．Most of the 200 surveyed boys grew into good citizens because________. A. their parents were strict with them B. they had great ambition as children C. they were expected to do good deeds D. a woman teacher loved and cared them

4．What conclusion can we draw from the story? A. Lo ve can work miracles. B. Like teacher, like pupil.

C. Adversity leads to prosperity.

D. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.

Every day John goes to work by trains. He always buys a piece newspaper to read on the

train, so he feels that the time pass more quickly. One day on the train he was reading a report

about important football match. The report was such interesting that he forgot getting off
