There's always hope

I was sitting around the other mo:ming thinking albout some of my former (以前的) students． When I do that, my thoughts always turn to Vincent．

Eighteen years ago, on the first day of third grade, when I had my class write something ahout themselves, he just sat there． So I took him outside to see what was wrong． “You can ______ about something else; anything you want,” I offered． He turned to me and shouted, “I can’t write!” and threw his pencil．

Vincent was difficult and ______． He acted out． He threw things． He refused to work, to be quiet, to sit down．

So these many years later, I wondered what he was up to． With time on my hands, I googled him and looked him up on Facebook and before long I found him． And after a few texts we agreed to meet． And he told me his ______．

Vincent knew he was smart, but he also knew he couldn’t do what other kids did． He had to move around and talk． For him, sitting still, listening and reading, didn't ______． The more he tried to do the mings on his terms, the more we forced him to do the things on our terms and the angrier he got． The angrier he got, the more trouble he got into．

In other words, we _______ him．

But he woulcln’t let me tell him that． He took full responsibility for his behavior． He remembered feeling ______ for acting out．

That ______me． Kids like Vincent are always angry about something; they hold the world responsible for the concequence(后果)．

This story also had one of us tuming Vincent around． But none of us did that for him． There were no excellent teachers like Annie Sullivan or Jaime Escalante． That didn’t mean we didn’t________． I remember countless conversations, trying to understand him, goirtg to his Little League games．

It was Vincent who tumed Vincent around,along with a junkie (吸毒者) house painter he worked with after failing through high school． This guy clearly scared (惊吓) him straight; talked him into going to _______．

But it was Vincent who attended classes and got straight A’s for two years． And it was Vincent who got accepted into ten different universities, including Stanford and UW． And it was Vincent who landed a great job at a big tech company．

【解析】

试题分析：本文主要讲述了作为老师的作者通过讲述了一个叫做Vincent的学生的故事，Vincent在小时候不能和其他的孩子一样安静地坐在教室听课做作业，老师越强迫他，他将会变得更烦躁。可是后来作者发现Vincent却很成功。告诉大家总有希望。

1.根据文章when I had my class write something ahout themselves, 可知作者让学生们写一写关于自己的东西，可是Vincent却坐在那里动也不动，作者就上前去告诉他可以写任何自己想写的东西。

2.根据后文The more he tried to do the mings on his terms, the more we forced him to do the things on our terms and the angrier he got可知答案为A。

3.在很多年之后，作者和Vincent又联系上了，在短信交流后他们见面了，Vincent给作者讲述了他自己的故事。

4.Vincent和其他的孩子不一样，他不能安静地坐在那里静静地做事。所以对他来说安静地坐着听课对他来说根本就不起作用。

5.作为老师的作者强迫Vincent安静地坐在那里上课，让他变得更烦躁反而起了负作用。

6.Vincent却从不责怪老师，因为他自己知道自己的表现很糟糕，所以自己负责。

7.Vincent的故事让我感到很惊讶。

8.但这并不意味着作者什么事情都没有去做，没有努力。他也与孩子有无数次的谈话，也努力尝试着去理解他，走进他。

9.恐吓他上大学。

10.作者想要传达的信息就是总有希望。
