Like most teachers, she said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible because there in the front row, slumped(弯腰坐) in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson noticed that he didnt play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he needed a bath. It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actuallytake delight inmaking his papers with a red pen, making bold Xs and then putting a “F” at the top of his papers. Mrs. Thompson was required to receive each childs past records and she put Teddys off until last. However, when she received his file, she was surprised. Teddys first and second grade teachers both wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He has good manners.he is a joy to be around.” While his third grade teacher wrote “His mothers death has been hard on him but tried to do his best.” Teddys fourth grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is withdrawn, sometimes sleeps in class and doesnt show much interest in school” By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. By Christmas, Mrs. Thompson got presents wrapped in beautiful paper, except for Teddys. His present wasclumsilywrapped in the heavy, brown paper. Some children even laughed when she found arhinestone（人造钻石）bracelet with some stones missing, and a bottle with one-quarter full of perfume. But she stifled the childrens laughter when she exclaimed(大声说) how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing(涂) some of the perfume on her wrist. Teddy stayed after school that day and said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my mom used to.” After the children left, she cried. On the very day, she quit teaching reading, and writing, and arithmetic. Instead she began to teach children. Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. By the end of the year, Teddy had become the best in the class. A year later, she found a note from Teddy, telling her that she was the best teacher he ever had in his whole life.Six years later she got another note from Teddy saying that he had finished high school. Four years later, she got another letter, saying that he would soon graduate from college with the highest of honors. Then four more years another letter came. The letter explained that she was still the best and favorite teacher he ever had. But now his name was a little longer-the letter was signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, MD. There was yet another letter that spring. Teddy said hed met his girl and was going to be married. He was wondering if Mrs. Thompson might agree to sit in the place at the wedding that was usually reserved for the mother of the groom. At the wedding ceremony, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompsons ear, “Thank you so much for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference.” Mrs. Thompson, tears in her eyes, whispered back. She said, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didnt know how to teach until I met you.”51.

A White Lie B Chinas first and only Grand Slam winner Li Na formally announced her retirement on Friday, leaving the Chinese tennis yearning for the next superstar. Following is part of her farewell and retirement letter: For close to fifteen years, weve been a part of each others lives. As a tennis player representing China on the global stage, Ive trekked(艰苦跋涉) around the world playing hundreds of matches on the WTA tour, for Chinas Fed Cup team, at the National Games and at several Olympic Games. Youve always been there for me, supporting me, cheering me on, and encouraging me to reach my potential. Representing China on the tennis court was an extraordinary privilege and a true honor. Having the unique opportunity to effectively bring more attention to the sport of tennis in China and all over Asia is something I will cherish forever. But in sport, just like in life, all great things must come to an end.2014 has become one of the most significant years in my career and my life. This year was full of amazing highlights, which included winning my second Grand Slam singles title at the Australian Open and sharing the extraordinary experience with my country, my team, my husband and my fans. It was also a year filled with difficult moments, such as having to deal with the inevitable - making the decision to end my professional tennis career. The amazing moment in Australia was filled with joy, happiness and extraordinary sense of accomplishment. It took me several agonizing(痛苦的) months to finally come to the decision that my chronic(长期的) injuries will never again let me be the tennis player that I can be.

After four knee surgeries and hundreds of shots injected into my knee weekly to ease swelling and pain, my body is begging me to stop the pounding. My previous three surgeries were on my right knee. My most recent knee surgery took place this July and was on my left knee. After a few weeks of post-surgery recovery, I tried to go through all the necessary steps to get back on the court. One of my goals was to recover as fast as I could in order to be ready for the first WTA tournament in my hometown of Wuhan. As hard as I tried to get back to being 100%, my body kept telling me that, at 32, I will not be able to compete at the top level ever again. 55. What is the passage mainly about? A.
