I was feeling a little blue because my mother had lost her job.
One day, while I was   on the street, I heard the piano music and singing rising above the noise of the people. I walked more slowly to      where it was coming from. Then I saw a young lady sitting at a piano.
She was singing songs about love,      yourself and keeping on trying. The way she was singing made me a little comfortable. I stood there     ，watching her playing on such a crowded New York square. I thought that she must be     enough to perform in front of so many people.
She noticed me. I walked over and told her how good her       sounded. “Thank you.” she said.
“I have been going through a hard time recently,     you’ve made me hopeful again.” I said to her.
“I’m glad that I could help,” she replied, “Why are you so   ?”
“Well, my mom has lost her job, and I’m not sure what to do …”
“Did you noticed the    you were walking? Your head was down.” she said. “Don’t be upset, because      comes in different ways and if your head is down, you might not see it. You should       more… lift your head up.”
I looked      her, amazed at how she was encouraging me. “   are you playing the piano here?” I asked her with a smile.
She     that she saw a lot of unhappy people in the world and she tried to cheer       up by playing music.
I smiled a little wilder, realizing that no difficulties could stop me from going on.

  I was in my third year of teaching writing at Ralph High School in New York, when one of my students, 15-year-old Mikey, gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence from class the day before:
"Dear Mr. McCort, Mikey's grandmother, who is eighty years of age, fell down the stairs from too much coffee and I kept Mikey at home to take care of her and his baby sister so I could go to my job. Please excuse Mikey and he'll do his best in the future. P.S. His grandmother is OK."
I had seen Mikey writing the note at his desk. l said nothing. Most parental-excuse notes I received were penned by my students. The writers of those notes didn't realize that honest excuse notes were usually boring: "Peter was late because the alarm clock didn't go off."
The students always said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject, but when they produced excuse notes, they were excellent. So I decided to give the first class to study the art of the excuse note.
“Today I'd like you to write 'An Excuse Note from Adam to God' or 'An Excuse Note from Eve to God'. "Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. They had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.
The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. But suddenly I saw the headmaster at the door. He entered the classroom and walked up and down, looking at papers, and then said. "I'd like you to see me in my office." My heart sank,
When I stepped into his office, he came to shake my hand and said, "I just want to tell you that lesson, that task, was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you."
小題1:What did the writer do when he found the students dishonest?
A．He reported them to the headmaster.

D．He helped improve their writing skills.
小題2:We can learn that when Mikey was absent from the class, he was____.
A．somewhere enjoying himself
