My favorite teacher's name was "Deadeye" Bean. Her real name w as Dorothy. She taught American history to eighth-graders in the junior high ction of Creston, the high school that rved the north end of Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was the fall of 1944. Franklin D. Roovelt was president; American troops were battling their way across France; Joe DiMaggio was still in the rvice; the Montgomery bus boycott was more than a decade away, and I was a twelve-year-old black newcomer in a school that was otherwi all white.
My mother, who had been a widow in New Y ork, had married my stepfather, a Grand Rapids physician, the year before, and he had bought the best hou he could afford for his new family. The problem for our new neighbors was that their neighborhood had previously been pristine' (in their terms) and that they were ignorant about black people. The prevailing wisdom in the neighborhood w
as that we were spoiling it and that we ought to go back where we belonged (or alternatively, ought not to intrude where we were not wanted). There was a lot of angry talk among the adults, but nothing much came of it.
春节的图片简单又漂亮But some of the kids, tho first few weeks, were quite nasty. They threw stones at me, chad me home when I was on foot and spat on my bike at when I was in class. For a time, I was a pretty lonely, friendless and sometimes frightened kid. I was just transplanted from Harlem, and here in Grand Rapids, the dominant culture was speaking to me insistently. I can e now that tho youngsters were bullying and culturally disadvantaged. I knew then that they were bigoted, but the culture spoke to me more powerfully than my mind and I felt ashamed for being different—a nonstandard person.
I now know that Dorothy Bean understood most of that and deplored it. So things began to change when I walked into her classroom. She was a pleasant-looking single woman, who looked old and wrinkled to me at the time, but who was probably about forty. Whereas my other teachers approached the problem of easing in their new black pupil by ignoring him for the first few weeks, Miss Bean went right at me. On the morning after having read our first assignment, she asked me the first question. I later came to know that in Grand Rapids, she was viewed as a very liberal person
who believed, among other things, that Negroes were equal.
I gulped and answered her question and the follow-up. They weren't brilliant answers, but they did establish the facts that I had read the assignment and that I could speak English. Later in the hour, when one of my classmates had bungled an answer, Miss Bean came back to me with a question that required me to clean up the girl's mess and established me as a smart person. Thus, the teacher began to give me human dimensions, though not perfect ones for an
eighth-grader. It was somewhat better to be an incipient teacher's pet than merely a dark prence in the back of the room onto who silent form my classmates could fit all the stereotypes they carried in their heads.
A few days later, Miss Bean became the first teacher ever to require me to think. She asked my opinion about something Jefferson had done. In tho days, all my opinions were derivative. I was for Roovelt becau my parents were, and I was for the Y ankees becau my older buddy from Harlem was a Y ankee fan. Besides, we didn't have opinions about historical figures like Jefferson. Like our high school building or old Mayor Welch, he just was.

"I guess so," I replied tentatively.
"Why?" she asked.
Why! What kind of question was that, I groud silently. But I ventured an answer. Day after day, she kept doing that to me, and my answers became stronger and more confident. She was the first teacher to give me the n that thinking was part of education and that I could form opinions that had some value.

Her final rvice to me came on a day when my mind was wandering and I was idly digging my pencil into the writing surface on the arm of my chair. Miss Bean impulsively threw a hunk of gum erar at me. By amazing chance, it hit my hand and nt the pencil flying. She gasped, and I crept mortified after my pencil as the class roared. That was the icebreaker. Afterward, kids came up to me to laugh about "Old Deadeye Bean." The incident became a legend, and I, a part of that story, became a person to talk to. So that's how I became just another kid in school and Dorothy Bean became "Old Deadeye."

Part Two Translation

I read the other day some vers written by an eminent painter which were original and not conventi
onal. The soul always hears an admonition in such lines, let the subject be what it may. The ntiment they instil is of more value than any thought they may contain. To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men----that is genius. Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal n; for the inmost in due time becomes the outmost, — and our first thought is rendered back to us by the trumpets of the Last Judgment. Familiar as the voice of the mind is to each, the highest merit we ascribe to Mos, Plato, and Milton is, that they t at naught books and traditions, and spoke not what men but what they thought. A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismiss without notice his thought, becau it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. El, to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good n precily what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.

Passage 1
中国人饮茶，注重一个"品"字。"品茶"不但是鉴别茶的优劣，也带有神思遐想和领略饮茶情趣之意。在百忙之中泡上一壶浓茶，择雅静之处，自斟自饮，可以消除疲劳、涤烦益思、振奋精神，也可以细啜慢饮，达到美的享受，使精神世界升华到高尚的艺术境界。品茶的环境一般由建筑物、园林、摆设、茶具等因素组成。饮茶要求安静、清新、舒适、干净。中国园林世界闻名，山水风景更是不可胜数。利用园林或自然山水间，搭设茶室，让人们小憩，意趣盎然。
Passage 2
古之学者必有师。师者，所以传道、受业、解惑也。人非生而知之者，孰能无惑？惑而不从师，其为惑也，终不解矣。
