Question

Chip was in first grade when I arrived at his school as a counselor (辅导员). It was surprising to me that he was described as an angry, uncontrollable and evil (惹人厌的) boy. How could such a little boy, after being in school only one year, be considered "evil"? Over the next several months, I came to know Chip well enough to see that he was neither evil nor uncontrollable.

But, one day, Chip threw a chair at his teacher and was sent to my office. I asked him what made him do this. He replied that his teacher hated him. He felt there was no way to ever get her to like him. I asked him if he would tell his teacher this. He nodded, and we called her into my office.

When the teacher came,                       . He then said that he knew he was a very, very bad boy, and he didn't think anyone could ever like him. His teacher listened to him with heartfelt compassion. Then she gave him a big warm hug, telling him she didn't hate him at all and, in fact, she cared very much about him. Only sometimes Chip's behavior really scared her. It was clear to both Chip and me that she really meant it.

I put my left arm on his shoulders and the right hand on his heart. I told him how wonderful and lovely I saw him to be. I praised how special and brave he was to express his hurt feeling.

As I was speaking to him, his whole body came to rest on my right hand next to his heart. It was a moment in time unlike anything I had experienced before. From then on, I'm pleased to see his behavior improved through the rest of school years.

A child's mind is clear and sensitive (敏感的). He receives whatever others saw without protection. It is as easy to consider someone hopeless as it is to consider him able in his own special way.

2.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 shows that Chip                  .

1.D

【解析】文章讲述了作者在学校里面对一个被所有人看成"恶魔"的孩子，并没有放弃她，反而安慰鼓励她，结果她真的像作者期盼的那样，变得更好了。

1.细节推断题。根据第二段 He nodded，and we called her into my office 和He then said that he knew he was a very，very bad boy，and he didn't think anyone could ever like him （他进了我的办公室，）可知，Chip一开始不愿说发生了什么，后来老师来做思想工作，他才说出事情原委。D项意为"鼓励 Chip 表达他的感受"能承接上下文，正确．A项意为"她不能控制她的感受"，B项意为"建议她更耐心些"，C项意为"Chip 重新变得愤怒又疯狂"，均不能顺承上下文，故正确答案为D。

2.细节推断题。根据第五段 From then on，I'm pleased to see his behavior improved through the rest of school years 可知，自从作者对 Chip 说了一番话后，他的行为变得越来越好，因此当时他将身体靠在作者的右手上表达的应是对作者从内心的接受，A项正确。B项意为"想休息"，C项意为"很害怕"，D项意为"有些紧张"，均不合文意，故正确答案为A。

3.主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者在学校里面对一个被所有人看成"恶魔"的孩子，并没有放弃她，反而安慰鼓励她，结果她真的像作者期盼的那样，变得更好了。结合最后一段 It is as easy to consider someone hopeless as it is to consider him able in his own special way 可得出文章主旨，态度决定事情的结局。当你对人或事有高的期望时，结果往往会变得更好。C项符合文意。A项意为"没有付出就没有收获"，B项意为"爱屋及乌"，D项意为"有志者事竟成"，均不是文章主旨。故正确答案为C。
