第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C 和 D) 中,选出最佳选项。
A
Mrs. Goff is a math teacher at Lincoln High School. Mrs. Goff and I met in my freshman year.
Zach Howe and I were on our way to a baseball game when he said he needed to get his stuff from Mrs.
Goff’s room. I had no idea who she was then, but he said she was great. Well, he was defi nitely right.
Last year, I had a college math class that required me to be in the computer lab, which was
located directly behind Mrs. Goff’s room. When I struggled in the section, I would go to Mrs. Goff’s and
ask for assistance. She told me that I was a little too dependent and not confi dent enough in my ability.
A little confi dence, combined with effort, will do wonders for anyone in anything. If you go into
something thinking negative thoughts, negative things will happen. Mrs. Goff taught me that it was
OK to make a few mistakes. Mistakes are a part of everyone’s life. She told me that it is how you learn
from them that defi nes your character. A person that learns from his or her mistakes is more likely to
be a successful person in life.
This year, I have spent a lot of time with Mrs. Goff. She really helps me instill ( 慢慢地灌输 )
confidence in myself and others around me. The encouragement that she has given me made me
realize that I can do the same thing for people. Therefore, she has helped my leadership skills and
increased my confi dence in being outgoing.
Mrs. Goff is a great role model in my life, and I appreciate everything she has done for me. I will
never forget the things that she has done for me and the things she has helped me learn and accomplish
( 完成 ) throughout high school. I hope to be as good a teacher as her and give encouragement that she
has for me and all of her students.
