短文填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
阅读短文，从方框中选出恰当的单词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意义完整。每空仅填一词，每词仅用一次。
angry（生气的）、get（得到）、offer（提供）、fourth（第四）、ask（询问）、story（故事）、if（如果）、difficult（困难的）、sadness（悲伤）、she（她）、her（她的）
有时候，我们发现回答孩子们询问的问题并不容易。例如，人死后会发生什么？我们常常试图让他们避开这些困难的话题。
但孩子们需要学会如何应对像悲伤这样的情绪。罗伯特·M·穆尔斯最近的著作《鞋盒》为他们提供了理解自身感受的方法。
这本书讲述了维奥莱特·库珀的故事，她因父亲去世而悲伤。在库珀的第四个生日那天，她的父亲在一场车祸中丧生。从那以后，她一直对这件事感到愧疚。当她在阁楼里发现一个装满旧照片的鞋盒时，库珀得以在一个魔幻现实主义的瞬间，通过照片走进她的父亲的生活。这把她带到了他的童年时代，在那里她得到了与那个后来会成为她父亲的男孩交朋友的机会。
穆尔斯描写了库珀努力康复时的挣扎。库珀在应对生活中的痛苦时很容易生气。
幸运的是，她的母亲和老师，以及库珀身边的人，总是愿意提供帮助，让她重新好起来。
通过阁楼里鞋盒的魔力，库珀得到了她在过去四年里一直寻找的答案——她与悲伤和自己和解了。这部小说想让我们都相信，如果你带着信任向前迈进，幸福总是有可能的。

I was fourteen years old and I just came to the junior high school. It seemed
that I would have difficulty finishing high
school because I was a troubled teenager.
However, one person came into my life
quietly and then completely changed
everything.
The first year in my school, Mr.
Brown taught me history. He was quite
different from the other teachers I had
known. But I had to say that he was really
a patient and kind teacher.
One day, Mr. Brown called me aside
(到旁边) and asked why I was a B student
in his class but a C student in other
classes. I told him about my divorced(离婚的) parents, the bad kids around and the
fights — all of the evil things I had
experienced. It was then that Mr. Brown
patiently explained that the only person
responsible(有责任的) for my future was
me. He told me that I failed not because I
was a failure. He encouraged me to
become a better student.
Ten years later, I was preparing to
graduate from a university. The first
person coming to my mind was him. So I
tried to reach him and wanted to tell him
that I really wished him to come to enjoy
this important moment together with me.
I'll never forget his reply. He said,
"Who is this again?"
At that moment, I came to realize
that I was just one of hundreds of the
students whose lives were changed by
him. But he had no idea of his influence.
Mr. Brown never came to my
graduation, but his not coming taught me
another important lesson. His final lesson
for me was that we would never know or
understand the influence we have on other
people's lives. And he also taught me that
we all had the chance to influence
people's lives, for the better or for the
worse.

我14岁，刚上初中。因为我是个问题少年，似乎很难完成高中学业。然而，一个人悄然走进我的生活，然后彻底改变了一切。
我在学校的第一年，布朗先生教我历史。他和我认识的其他老师很不一样。但我不得不说，他真的是一位有耐心且善良的老师。
有一天，布朗先生把我叫到一边，问我为什么在他的课上是B等生，而在其他课上是C等生。我告诉他我离婚的父母、周围的坏孩子以及打架——我经历过的所有不好的事情。就在那时，布朗先生耐心地解释说，对我的未来负责的唯一的人是我自己。他告诉我，我失败不是因为我是个失败者。他鼓励我成为一名更好的学生。
十年后，我正准备从大学毕业。我首先想到的人就是他。所以我试图联系他，想告诉他我真的希望他能来和我一起享受这个重要的时刻。
我永远不会忘记他的回复。他说：“你又是谁？”
在那一刻，我意识到我只是数百个被他改变生活的学生之一。但他并不知道自己的影响。
布朗先生从来没有来参加我的毕业典礼，但他的缺席给我上了另一堂重要的课。他给我的最后一课是，我们永远不会知道或理解我们对别人生活的影响。他还教导我，我们都有机会影响别人的生活，无论是好是坏。
