Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

My first day in high school will never be forgotten.When I got to the classroom in the morning，I saw that Mr Brown had already put our names on our tables.After walking a few steps，I saw my name on the table right in the middle of the classroom.Walking up to my table，my heart sang.“It would be great to sit there.I could see everything easily，” I thought to myself.

A while later，the other students entered one by one and took their own seats.And then Mr Brown started talking.He showed us his classroom rules and tried to explain them.All of a sudden，a student called Tony started singing loudly.All the while he moved his body to the music.His deskmate Josh couldn't understand why he was doing these things.Then he stood up and talked to Mr Brown，“I don't want to sit with this strange guy.Can I swap seats with someone else in this room，please？”

Mr Brown didn't answer his question directly.He stopped what he was doing and turned on his computer.Then he showed us some pictures about autistic (患自闭症的) kids.He explained that autistic kids have little self­control.They seem to do things that are beyond (超出) everyone else's understanding.However，they can do many other great things，in the field of art or music for example.Then he told us that Tony was not good at maths，but loved songs.“He can sing thousands of songs.What's more surprising is that he can remember all the words without any mistakes.” In the end，Mr Brown added that although autistic kids were different，they should be loved.

Since that first day in high school，I became Mr Brown's admirer (崇拜者)．I was pretty sure Mr Brown would get all of us on the right track (轨道)．

Boston University was always my dream，but when it came to making the decision，I had to be sure that I was confident in my choice.Boston University drew me in for several reasons—its perfect location in the heart of Boston，its strong education programs，and the comfortable community.One special thing that set Boston University apart from my other college options was that I could be placed in the classroom to experience teaching in my freshman year.I had wanted to be a teacher for as long as I could remember，after all.

After just six short weeks，I was absolutely confident that I made the right choice to attend Boston University.At Boston University，I attended an education program—ED 100.Each Wednesday，I went to Bowman Elementary School to help in a fifth grade classroom.

Although I was a secondary education major，working with fifth graders was very memorable.One of my weekly tasks was to lead a reading group of about five students.It was tiring，but I fully enjoyed getting to know their strengths (长处) and a little bit about each student apart from their studies.

As the weeks went on，I found myself further involved in (参与) more classroom activities，often helping students one by one or in small groups.The students never stopped amazing me—they were always ready to take part in class activities and share their ideas.For each class，I usually spent a long time preparing it.I also loved learning from other teachers，and taking note of their excellent teaching skills，some of which I hoped to use in my own classroom.

The program—ED 100 has even further confirmed (确认) my desire to become an educator.I have passion to work with children.I can't wait to have my own classroom of students.I'm so happy that I've made the right decision to choose Boston University.
