Many of our new neighbors(邻居) werent very welcoming. Some of them said angrily that we should return to the place where we came from. The children sometimes threw stones(石头) at me or drove me home from school.Most of my teachers simply took no notice of me, but not Dorothy Bean, my history teacher. Miss Bean was angry at how badly I was being treated(对待), but she didnt say this to me. Miss Bean showed her respect(尊重) for me by teaching me just like anyone else. Instead of being unnoticed, I was given a chance to show that I was clever. Miss Bean was the first teacher who ever made me think for myself. She always wanted to know what I thought about difficult questions. Was Thomas Jefferson right to buy Louisiana from France? Why? She wanted me to have my own idea. Miss Bean was teaching me that thinking for oneself was the real key to education.One day, when I was not paying attention in class, Miss Bean suddenly threw an eraser at me. The eraser hit me right on the hand and sent my pencil flying. The whole class were very surprised at first, then started laughing. This event became famous in the school, because it happened to me, the students wanted to get to know me. So thats the story of how Dorothy Bean made me her target（靶子）, and how I became just another kid in school.48.From the end of the first paragraph we know that _.A. children are more friendly to strangers(陌生人)B.

Well, in America, the word is now often used. The American couch-potato becomes maybe even a part of the American tradition! You see, in America, many people often spend their free time sitting on a couch(沙发) watching TV. As there are many channels to choose, the TV can be quite interesting and very addictive(上瘾的). One may sit and watch TV for hour and hour without stop! Well, these people who do nothing all day except watching TV are called couch-potatoes. In America, when one watches TV, he is most often sitting on a couch. While watching TV, most of these people look so frozen that they almost look dead! Everyone is sitting still(静止的) with eyes looking right into the same black box. Also because these people are addictive to TV, they dont take exercise and usually get very fat.
