Mr. Carrey worked at a big company. He went to work by bus. One day when he was standing at the bus-stop, he watched cars go by. Many of the cars were new Sherry 700s, and most of them were yellow.

Two months later, Mr. Carrey bought a new yellow Sherry 700. He was very pleased with it, and drove to work in it the next morning. When he saw all the other Sherry 700s, in front, behind and on both sides of him, he was even more pleased with his car.

There was a story many years ago of a school teacher—Mrs. Thompson．She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same．But that was a lie．There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard．He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath．She did not like him．
Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother．Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself．She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present, too．It was his mother’s perfume（香水）
Teddy said ,“Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to．”After the children left , she cried for at least an hour．On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math．Instead, she began to teach children．
Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy．The boy’s mind seemed to come alive．The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved．By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class．
Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy．He wrote that he had finished high school and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life．He went to college．Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed: Theodore Stoddard ,M．D．（医学博士）．
The story doesn’t end there．On his wedding day, Dr．Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear ,“Thank you, Mrs.Thompson, for believing in me．You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference．”
Mrs.Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back ,“ Teddy, you have it all wrong．You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference．I didn’t know how to teach until I met you．”Did Mrs. Thompson like Teddy at first?
When did Teddy give his teacher a present?
What did Mrs. Thompson do after the children left the classroom?
Why did Teddy thank Mrs. Thompson at his wedding?
What does the passage want to say?
When you read an article you will understand and remember it better if you can work out how the writer has put the ideas together．Sometimes a writer puts ideas together by asking questions and then answering them．For example，if the article is about groundhogs（土拨鼠），the set of questions in the writer’s head might be：
What does a groundhog look like？
Where do groundhogs live？
What do they eat？…
In the article，the author might answer those questions．
Sometimes an author writes out her questions in the article．These questions give you signals．They tell you what the author is going to write next．Often an author has a question in her head but she doesn’t write it out for you．You have to work out her question for yourself．Here’s a sample reading for you to practice this method.
Earthworms
Do you know how many kinds of earthworms there are？There are about 1800 kinds in the world！ They can be brown，purple，green．They can be as small as 3 cm long and as large as 3 m long．
The best time to see earthworms is at night，especially a cool，damp night．That’s when they come up from their burrows（地洞）to hunt for food．Earthworms don’t like to be in the sun．That’s because they breathe through their skin，and they can’t breathe if their skin gets too dry．Earthworms must come out of the earth if it rains a lot，because they can't breathe in their flooded burrows．What a dangerous life！
Earthworms don't have eyes，so how can they tell when it's dark？ They have special places on their skin that are sensitive to light．These spots tell whether it’s light or dark．If you shine a flashlight on an earthworm at night，it will quickly disappear into the ground．
Earthworms don't have ears either，but they can hear by feeling movements in the earth．If you want to hear like an earthworm，lie on the ground with your fingers in your ears．Then have a friend stamp his or her feet near you．This is how earthworms feel birds and people walking，and moles digging，near them．
Earthworms are useful．Farmers and gardeners like having lots of earthworms in their land because the worms help to make better soil when they dig．That digging keeps the soil loose and airy（通风的）．In one year earthworms can pile up as much as 23,000 kg of castings in an area about the size of a football field．What’s the purpose of reading Earthworms?
| A．To show the special life facts of earthworms. |
| B．To explain the differences from the groundhogs. |
| C．To put the writer’s idea into real use. |
| D．To make the readers think more clearly. |
Which question CANNOT be answered in the passage?
| A．How do earthworms help with gardeners? |
| B．What life are earthworms living with? |
| C．When may people observe earthworms? |
| D．Why can human listen like earthworms? |
How can you understand Earthworms better according to this passage?
| A．Read, ask and answer questions in your own head while reading. |
| B．Read to work out all the questions in the writer’s head while reading. |
| C．Read and check all the things that are not clear to you again and again. |
| D．Read for general ideas and discuss or compare with other similar topics. |
What’s the best title for the passage?
| A．One way to help with understanding |
| B．One way to practice with a new idea |
| C．One way to learn to be a wise writer |
| D．One way to be clearer about worms |
