I still remember --- my hands and my fingers still remember --- what used to lie in store for us on our return to school from the holidays. The trees in the school yard would be in full leaf again and the old leaves would be lying around like a muddy sea of leaves.
“Get that all swept up!” the headmaster would tell us. “I want the whole place cleaned up, at once!” There was enough work there, to last over a week. Especially since the only tools with which we were provided were our hands, our fingers, our nails. “Now see that it’s done properly, and be quick about it,” the headmaster would say to the older pupils, “or you’ll have to answer for it!”
So at an order from the older boys we would all line up like peanuts about to cut and gather in crops. If the work was not going as quickly as the headmaster expected, the big boys, instead of giving us a helping hand, used to find it simpler to beat us with branches pulled from the trees. In order to avoid these blows, we used to bribe(賄賂) the older boys with the juicy cakes we used to bring for our midday meal. And if we happened to have any money on us, the coins changed hands at once. If we did not do this, if we were afraid of going home with an empty stomach or an empty purse, the blows were redoubled. They hit us so violently and with such evil enjoyment that even a deaf and dumb person would have realized that we were being whipped so much not to make us work harder, but rather to beat us into a state of obedience(服從) in which we would be only too glad to give up our food and money.
Occasionally one of us, worn out by such calculated cruelty, would have the courage to complain to the headmaster. He would of course be very angry, but the punishment he gave the older boys was always very small --- nothing compared to what they had done to us. And the fact is that however much we complained, our situation did not improve in the slightest. Perhaps we should have let our parents know what was going on, but somehow we never dreamed of doing so; I don’t know whether it was loyalty or pride that kept us silent, but I can see now that we were foolish to keep quiet about it, for such beating were completely foreign to our nature.
【小題1】The statement “my hands and my fingers still remember” (Para.1) means that___________.

A．the author’s hands were severely injured in the cleaning up
B．the author seldom did such hard work as the cleaning up
C．the author was bullied by the big boys in the cleaning up
D．the author’s hands were his only tool for the cleaning
【小題2】The headmaster asked the older boys to_____________.
A．beat those who worked slowly
B．treat the small boys as peanuts
C．take charge of the process of the cleaning
D．do the cleaning all by themselves
【小題3】According to Para. 3, if the author had any money on him, he most probably_________.
A．gave it to the big boys so as to please them
B．gave it as a bride to the headmaster
C．spent it all on his midday meal
D．spent it buying midday meals for the big boys
【小題4】When receiving complaints, the headmaster would deal with the big boys by means of _________.
A．slight punishment B．strict criticism
C．complete indifferenceD．good beating

As the father of a student, I have experienced first hand what a great teacher is. My son was in the 4th grade last year, and he had a teacher called Miss Green. I believe that when he is an adult he will surely look back on her as the best teacher he has ever had.
My son has attention deficit disorder(注意力缺損癥) that makes it a little more difficult for him to learn. She was able to change her teaching methods for him so that he could keep up with the rest of the class. As a result, he got straight As on many subjects. She regarded her class as a family and they even had their own class song. She would often have them sing it to encourage them and develop a team spirit for them. When she saw that they were no longer listening carefully to what she was teaching, she would have them close their textbooks, stand up all around the room and throw around a small football. This helped them clear their minds and then focus on the lesson again. Besides, she was quick to reply to any phone calls or emails from us and got rid of our worries about children quickly.
When my son went to the 5th grade this year, we happened to pass her classroom. When she saw my son, her face lit up(露出喜色) and she came out and hugged him. She generally loves all of the children in her classroom and that love really shows. I can only pray(祈禱) that my son will continue to get teachers just like her for the rest of his school years.
【小題1】With the teacher’s help, the writer’s son ______.

A．became the best student in his class
B．was interested in singing songs
C．quickly finished his 4th grade lessons
D．improved his grades greatly
【小題2】Which of the following is NOT true about Miss Green?
A．She regarded the students as members of a family.
B．She had special ways to help students study.
C．She was good at teaching football and music.
D．She usually made a quick reply to parents’ emails.
【小題3】The underlined phrases “focus on” in Paragraph 2 means ______.
A．look forward toB．pay attention to
C．get away fromD．take care of
【小題4】We can learn from the text that ______.
A．Miss Green was the best teacher at the school
