Mark liked talking. I had to  36 him that talking in class was not acceptable. 37  impressed me was that he responded with such sincerity. “Thank you for correcting me, Sister!” I didn’t know what to make of it at 38  , but soon I got used to 39  it many times a day.

One morning my  40   was growing thin when Mark talked once again. I said, “If you say one more word, I’ll tape your mouth  41  !”

It wasn’t ten seconds  42  when one boy shouted, “Mark is talking again.” I had to keep my  43  . I took out some tape from my desk and covered it 44  Mark’s mouth. Later as I walked back to remove the tape, his first words were “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.”

One afternoon, the students got noisy and started to call each other 45 .

I had to do 46 . I asked each student to prepare 34 small pieces of paper, saying they should write the name of a classmate on each piece and, under that, say something 47  about the person. Then I collected the slips of paper and gave them  48  later. Everyone smiled. Their classmates had  49  such nice things about them!

Nobody ever mentioned the paper again. I never knew if they discussed them after class, but it didn’t matter. The students were  50  with themselves.

Several years later, after I had returned  51  a vacation, my parents met me at the airport. On our way back, my father  52  his throat, as he usually did before saying something  53 .

“The Eklunds called yesterday,” he began. “Really?” I said. “I haven’t heard from them in years. I 54  how Mark is.” Dad responded quietly. “Mark was killed in Vietnam,” he said. “The funeral is tomorrow .”

At the funeral Mark’s father came up and took some slips of paper from his wallet to show me. I knew the slips were the ones on which Mark’s classmates had listed all the nice things about him.

“Thank you so much,” Mark’s mother said. “  55 you can see, Mark treasured those pieces of paper.”

Was Princess Diana murdered? The verdict（判決）is no according to an inquiry（調(diào)查）held into the cause of her death over the last six months.

The big question was whether the deaths of Diana and her boyfriend Dodi A1 Fayed in a deadly car crash in 1997 had been accidental, or whether there was some kind of conspiracy（陰謀）to have them killed.

Dodi’s father Mohamed A1 Fayed, owner of London’s world-famous department store Harrods, has insisted for the last decade that the pair were murdered by spies of the British state who did not want them to marry. But his theories now look to have been blown out of the water.  The court found that Princess Diana and her boyfriend were not murdered but killed due to the “gross, carelessness” of her driver and the paparazzi（偷拍的攝影記者）. Her driver was drunk at the time of the crash and the paparazzi had been running after their car.

So is this the end of the Diana story? British taxpayers may hope so. The inquiry has cost them about ￡10m（140m RMB）. “Thank God it’s over”, was the headline in The Guardian newspaper. UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown said it was time to “draw a line” under the death of the Princess. But Mohamed AI Fayed has refused to accept the judgment. He says the result will come as a “blow” to millions of his supporters around the world, and has not ruled out starting another investigation.

Whatever happens, next, the special place Princess Diana has in the hearts of people around the world is not likely to be forgotten.

1. According to the text, the inquiry focuses on _______.

A. what caused the deaths of Diana and her boyfriend   B. who were the paparazzi

C. how much British taxpayers paid for the case       D. whether the driver was drunk then.

2. By saying the underlined “his theories now look to have been blown out of the water”, the author means that ________.

A. Mohamed lacks confidence in the case   B. Mohamed feels disappointed at the result

C. Mohamed’s idea seems to be believable  D. Mohamed’s idea possibly proves to be wrong

3. Similar to The Guardian newspaper, UK Prime Minister ________.

A. felt sorry for the deadly car crash       B. questioned the purpose of Dodi’s father

C. stood for the court’s judgment         D. blamed the paparazzi for their bad behavior
