Their 18 answers gave the teacher a chance to understand her students’ difficulties. “I wish my teacher knew I have no pencils to do my homework,” 19 one child. “I wish my teacher knew sometimes my reading homework is not signed（簽名）, because my mom is not 20 a lot,” wrote another. Some shared hope for the 21 . “ I wish my teacher knew that I want to go to college.”

“Some notes are really heartbreaking,” Schwartz tells ABC News. “I care 22 about each of my students and I don’t want them to be poor forever.” She explains, “ I hoped to know 23 I could better support them. So I 24 to let them tell me what I needed to know. That was why I created the fill-in-the-blank exercise.”

25 the third graders were allowed to answer anonymously（匿名）, most wanted to include names. And some were even excited to read their notes out loud. 26 one shy girl who bravely said that she was lonely. “After she told the class, ‘I don’t have friends to 27 me,’ I was worried what they would do.” Schwartz tells Us Weekly. “However, I felt encouraged to see how much support the other kids offered 28 . They invited her to play at break and sit with them at lunch. You see, 29 have an unusual ability to express empathy（同情）.”

“The results have been 30 ,” says Schwartz. “It speaks to the importance of giving people a voice and really listening to them.”

Many years ago, a French naturalist, Comte de Buffon, wrote some books about natural history. The books were a great success even though some critics（批評家）did not like them.

Thomas Jefferson did not like what Comte de Buffon had said about the natural wonders（奇觀）of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that Comte de Buffon had spoken of natural wonders in America as if（好像）they were unimportant.

This troubled Thomas Jefferson. He was also a naturalist, as well as a farmer, an inventor, a historian, a writer and a politician（政治家）. He had seen the natural wonders of Europe. To him, they were no more important than those of the New World.

In 1788, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia. While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Comte de Buffon. At that moment, Jefferson created a new word—belittle. He said, “Comte de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic（大西洋）.”

Noah Webster, the American word expert, liked this word. He put it in the English language dictionary in 1806, “Belittle—to make small, unimportant.”

Americans had already accepted Jefferson’s word and started to use it. In 1797, the Independent Chronicle（獨(dú)立紀(jì)事報）used the word to describe a politician the paper supported. “It is an honorable man,” the paper wrote, “so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please.”

In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, “Belittle shouldn’t become English. And more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it.”

This expert failed to kill the word. Today, belittle is used where the English language is spoken.

1.Thomas Jefferson was NOT a ______.

A. naturalist B. historian C. politician D. musician

2.We can infer（推斷）that Jefferson created the word “belittle” out of his ______.

A. anger B. excitement C. kindness D. responsibility

3.What can we know about the word “belittle” from the passage?

A. It has already disappeared from the English language.

B. It had been used before it was put in the English language dictionary.

C. It is used to describe natural wonders now.

D. An American politician decided to kill this word in 1872.

4.What’s the passage mainly about?

A. How the word “belittle” came into being. B. The argument about natural wonders.

C. Every word has a long history behind. D. Noah Webster supported Jefferson’s idea.

閱讀下列短文，在空白處（71-75）填入與短文內(nèi)容相符的信息，完成閱讀摘記。

English is the first language of several countries. However, it has many differences. British, American, and South African English are all spoken differently. In many English language courses, the British and American differences are taught. One is not more correct than the other, but there are important differences between the two.

Probably the biggest difference between American and British English is the vocabulary. Different words and expressions are used to talk about the same thing. For example, in the United States, people throw their garbage into the trash can. In England, people throw their rubbish into the dustbin. In Britain, people take a lift to the fifth floor. In America, people take an elevator.

American and British grammar can be also different. For example, speakers of British English will ask “What did you do at the weekend?”, but Americans usually say “on the weekend.” In the United States people usually say “I’ve gotten a new car.”, but in the UK they will say “I’ve just got a new car.”

The pronunciation in American and British English is also different, even when the spelling is the same. The word “tomato”—pronounced “to-mah-to” in British English—is a classic example of this.

Vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are three ways English is different in different parts of the world. Learning all these is not easy, so English learners should just know that they are always there.
