Usually the class started with only two or three students in the classroom, and then the other students came as the minutes went by.Donna knew that the students didnt like studying English. The head teacher had told her the reason. The students thought English was confusing.Donna waited until all the students were sitting in their seats. She smiled and said, Okay, well. Lets get started. Please turn to Page 36. Today were studying participles as adjectives（分词作形容词）. Students often feel confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we need to practice a lot. Today, were just going to practice using present participles as adjectives. Donna looked at all the blank faces around the classroom. Then she wrote two sentences on the blackboard.The present participle tells us what kind of emotion the subject（主语）is causing. For example, when we say grammar is boring, we mean that the subjectgrammar causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, The movie is interesting, we are saying that the movie causes an emotion of interest. Any questions so far? Is anyone confused?The classroom was quiet.

Kyle, a student who I never saw text (发信息) in class, gave the teacher his phone.When the teacher left, two students who I often saw text in class started boasting (吹牛) about how they sent text messages and never got caught.Kyle, you dont text in class that way! one of them said. I put my phone under my desk so it looks like Im looking at my textbooks.Isnt it funny that we always text and never get caught, but the first time Kyle does it, he gets caught? the other one laughed.They must have thought they were smart, because they never got caught and Kyle did. But which situation is worse: getting caught, or getting away with it? Rules are there for a reason. These two students might not have got caught, but neither of them had good grades. They keep texting in class, not paying any attention. I think they will keep breaking the rules in the future.People dont just break the law and get thrown into jail (监狱) right away. They take it one step at a time, starting with smaller rules. Kyle might have got caught, but at least he learned a good lesson. He will not break the rules in the future, so he will learn more in class and stay out of trouble. Its smarter not to break the rules.（1）The teacher asked Kyle to give his phone because _.

I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I was refused every time. In one studio, a nice lady told me that big stations didnt want to accept inexperienced persons. “Go to the countryside and find a small station thatll give you a chance,” she said.I returned home, Dixon in Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I had played high school football in Dixon, I applied(申请). The job sounded just right for me. But I still failed in the interview. At that moment, moms words came to my mind: “Everything happens for the best.” Dad offered me a car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport in Iowa. The program director, named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.As I left his office, I felt sad. I asked aloud, “How can a man become a sports announcer if he cant get a job in a radio station?”I was waiting for the lift when I heard MacArthur calling, “What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. As a result, I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturdays game!On my way home, I thought of my mothers words again: “Everything happens for the best if you carry on. One day something good will happen.”（1）After the writer graduated from college, he tried to look for a job in at first.A . ChicagoB . DixonC . DavenportD .
