Miss Marquis was my mentor ( 导 师 ) when I was 12 and she
s my
mentor now as a teacher.
My family moved to the UK from Saudi Arabia in 2017. When I
started school there, I didn
t have a great understanding of the English
language. Thankfully, I had an amazing teacher called Miss Marquis who
helped me get through it. She pushed me all the way and gave me the right
guidance.
During my teacher training with ARK, I was given a place at Globe
Academy in London as a math teacher. When I saw the head of the English
department was Miss Marquis, my jaw ( 下 巴 ) dropped. It was
unbelievable.
I still can
t call her by her first name. The respect I have for her is still
there. In one of the lessons I observed she was reading the same book we
used in our GCSEs and it took me back to the days when I was being taught
by her. You knew you could go to her and share your problems. At the same
time, you would never mess about in her lesson. Misbehaving was simply
not done.
My aim as a teacher is affected by her. Teaching is about the mark you
make on other people
s lives. I
ve worked in a few different schools during
my training but I chose ARK because it gives opportunities to children who
may not be from wealthy backgrounds. I am trying to have an impact on
these people.
It doesn
t matter how many books you read, and nothing can prepare
you for your first lesson. I have read all the theories about how to manage
behavior but a lot of them just go out of my head when I walk into the
classroom because they
re not robots. They
re all unique individuals and
you can
t control them. You need to put the work in and build relationships
with the students.
24. When did the author get to know Miss Marquis?
A. When he began school in a totally new place.
B. When he worked as a guide at an English school.
C. When he experienced difficult situations in ARK.
D. When he arrived in Saudi Arabia with his family.
25. What was the author
s reaction upon seeing Miss Marquis at ARK?
A. Embarrassed. B. Puzzled. C. Amused. D. Shocked.
26. Which of the following best describes Miss Marquis?
A. Cold and selfish. B. Kind but strict.
C. Gentle but careless. D. Energetic and friendly.
27. What should a good teacher do according to the author?
A. To be devoted to his/her teaching career.
B. To be equipped with enough knowledge.
C. To respect and encourage his/her students.
D. To be well prepared for his/her first lesson.

The West Potomac Park in Washington, DC, lies just west of the
National Mall. It is home to some of Washington
s most iconic ( 标志性 )
sites. But the park
s most famous attraction? Cherry blossoms.
Thousands of cherry trees bloom around the waters of the Tidal Basin
(潮汐湖 ) , which reflect the trees
images. The basin was created in the
late1800s to prevent the Potomac River from flooding. The original cherry
trees were a gift from Japan. On March 26, 1912, more than 3, 000 cherry
trees arrived in Washington. Most were planted around the Tidal Basin. But
cherry trees were also planted near the Washington Monument and the
White House.
Mike Litterst, a spokesperson for the U
S. National Park Service,
which maintains the West Potomac Park, helps protect the cherry trees.
“
This wonderful gift is over 100 years old now and, if you will, the gift
keeps on giving. You can enjoy its beauty every year”
.
The cherry blossoms also serve as a symbol of the beginning of
springtime. Every year, Washington celebrates the arrival of spring with a
two
G
week Cherry Blossom Festival. More than 1
5 million people from
around the world visit the nation
s capital during the festival. They all hope
to see the cherry trees at their “
peak ( 高峰 ) bloom”,which lasts several
days each year. Experts begin making peak bloom predictions in February.
Visitors make their travel plans to Washington based on these predictions.
Last year, officials correctly predicted the peak bloom six weeks in advance.
But this year, unpredictable weather in March in Washington has made
guessing it difficult. “
Peak bloom”dates have changed many times.
The cherry blossoms have also become a worldwide symbol of
Washington itself. BoWen moved to Washington from China seven years
ago. He comes to the Cherry Blossom Festival. “
It
s so famous. Everywhere
you can see Washington DC Cherry Blossom Festival, on like Twitter and
Instagram.”
