My stutter（口吃） had always been much of a problem. I'd had so many specialists(專家) for my speech over the years. It hurt me until I met a new one in the hall.

"Hello! I'm Mrs. Claussen. I hear you're from Texas!"

"Ye-Ye-Ye-Yes m-m-m-m-m-m-aam I am..."My heart felt like it was pounding ( 劇 烈 跳 動)through my chest and my hands were dripping wet.

"Well,” she said with a _________smile. "I've always like Texas."

She turned out to be the best speech specialist I've ever had, not like ________who told me to clap my hands while speaking. She was different from others. She spent the first several weeks just talking to me — asking me all kinds of questions about myself, ______my feelings. And she listened . She then began to teach me about the speech. Not just about my speech, but about everybody's.

I __________in my old school and was a pretty good tenor（男高音）, but I learned that the new school's singing group was all _______. It was such bad news, for I thought that was the one thing I could really do well- and I could do it .However, Mrs. Claussen finally got me in the group. I felt like she really cared about me as a person, not just a ________________student.

During the next two years, my speech didn't get much better - except with her. When I was in college( 大學), things got worse. I once even wanted to know ____I would ever be able to communicate！ It was a very sad time, and I often felt alone. When I was feeling really sorry for myself, I remembered Mrs. Claussen had told me whether I could change my speech was all up to me. She had told me to fight for perfect speech, just _______speech. She was right about that. I finally improved my speech greatly.

Many years have passed, but I think of her from time to time, wondering (想知道)if she had as much _______on her other students as she had on me. I like to think that she did. Her name was Mrs. Claussen... and she __________me . I'll never forget her.

閱讀下文并回答問題。

Do you often travel? Do you often stay in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide(提供) guests with disposable(一次性的)thing, like toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers(拖鞋). Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But if you travel to Beijing remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.

Many disposable things are made of plastic (塑料). People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources(資源) and is very bad for the environment(環(huán)境).Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400 kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 2, 320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down(分解). So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.

Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your everyday life. Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. do not use paper cups. At your school dining room, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of (代替)disposable ones.

To protect our environment and our home, it is very necessary and important for us to save natural resources.
