It was graduation day at the university ...

It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor.On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life." At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave."

As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed.When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher.It obviously isn't the money.Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change.He was working at Nintendo Corporation.His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade.With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired.I thanked him, but declined his kind offer.

A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework.She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class—not about math, but about life—would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away.As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher.

Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication (奉献) and a deeper sense of satisfaction—I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.

1.Hearing his colleague's description of graduation for the first time, the author __________.

A.quite agreed with his colleague

B.was very puzzled

C.thought it very funny

D.was very sad

2.The computer science student called up the author because he___________.

A.wanted to inform the author of his present job

B.tried to persuade the author to work with him

C.wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction

D.thought the author wasn't fit to be a teacher

3.The underlined part “blue hats and gowns” refers to___________.

A.university colleagues

B.graduates' clothes

C.life memories

D.decorations in the hall

4.The author wrote this passage to __________.

A.express his devotion to being a teacher

B.compare two different graduation ceremonies

C.talk about the meaning of graduation

D.give advice on how to be a good teacher

 

1.B 2.B 3.B 4.A 【解析】文章正是为了表达自己对教师工作的热爱。 1.推理题。根据At my inquiry。说明我不清楚他的意思,因为我很困惑,所以才询问他。 2.细节题。根据第二段3,4行asking me if I wanted to have a change可知他是想让我和他一起工作。B正确。 3.猜测词义题。根据上文的on this sunny graduation day可知在这个日子里我又一次看见了学生毕业时所穿的衣服。 4.主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段的最后一行I did so with renewed dedication (奉献) and a deeper sense of satisfaction—I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.可知作者就是为了表达对教师工作的热爱。
