培优专项训练(九) 主题阅读 Ⅰ. 阅读短文，根据短文内容，回答问题 It was near Christmas during my first semester teaching at a new school. I loved my small special class more than any group I had taught in the past. They were hungry for knowledge and I was enjoying teaching. Other teachers had told me that our children were from poor families and not to expect any child to bring a Christmas gift. In fact, I wasn't expecting any gifts. Imagine my surprise when every child brought me a gift on the day before our holiday break. First, I got a much-loved stuffed monkey from a shy girl. I was told, “ He is my favorite, but I love you and I want him to be with you, Miss Taylor.” How thrilled(兴奋的；激动的)I was! Next came a new set of Christmas tree lights that was “ missing” from a mother's cupboard. Finally, I came to one little boy's gift to express my happiness, I was interrupted (打断) by the giver, “ And see, it is new! It still has the price tag(标签).” When other children laughed at him, I stopped them and said, “ Oh, books are good in that way. The story is always new if you have not read it before. Now, Let's share one together.” Everyone listened quietly as I read the most wonderful Christmas story of my life. I still keep those Christmas gifts. They always remind me of my lovely kids. 1．Why did the teacher like her small special class? ________________________________________________________________________ 2．When did the children bring their teacher gifts? ________________________________________________________________________ 3．Who sent a stuffed monkey to the teacher? ________________________________________________________________________ 4．Was the Christmas story book new? ________________________________________________________________________ 5．How did the teacher feel when she got the presents? ________________________________________________________________________ Ⅱ.根据首字母及短文意思补全单词 It was Mary's birthday.
