leave him be!” i concentrated on my work. from my left a slight movement showed that jake must have heard the remarks too. he seemed to be having great difficulty with his work and was struggling to hold his pen correctly. he looked around as if for help. i looked around too. the teacher was busy so i leaned over and offered to explain the problems to him. as he listened his mouth split into a smile. his eyes lit up as if a light had been turned on and he returned to the exercises with enthusiasm. he finished them quickly and proudly presented them to the teacher. “well done, jake,” she approved. jake smiled and was soon busy sorting out information and adding more of his own.i thought about how jakes life would be. i remembered seeing the campsite and thinking how poor the facilities （设施）were. so i decided to help. as it was my turn to suggest a project for our grade, i put forward this idea. our head teacher accepted it and so we began to prepare our plans to improve the campsite. hope you will join us.56. why did the students dislike jake even before they saw him?a. they must have heard bad stories about circus people. b. they always judged a person by what he looks like. c. the teacher hadnt introduced jake to them beforehand. d. a newcomer was not welcome at that time.57. whats the authors attitude towards jake?

a. whether you are interested in the subject.b. if you can lead a happy life.c. what you can make out of it after graduation.d .how much you can
