课时分层作业(三)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
小说名A
When I was growing up in America，I was ashamed of my mother's Chine English.Becau of her English，she was often treated unfairly.People in department stores，at banks，and at restaurants did not take her riously，did not give her good rvice，pretended not to understand her，or even acted as if they did not hear her.
My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well.When I was fifteen，she ud to have me call people on phone to pretend I was her.I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her.One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人)．I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing，“This is Mrs.Tan”．
And my mother was standing beside me，whispering loudly，“Why he don't nd me check，already two week late.” And then，in perfect English I said: “I'm getting rather conc
erned.You agreed to nd the check two weeks ago，but it hasn't arrived.”
Then she talked more loudly.“What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again，“I can't tolerate any more excu.If I don't receive the check immediately，I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”
The next week we ended up in New York.While I was sitting there redfaced，my mother，the real Mrs.Tan，was shouting to his boss in her broken English.
When I was a teenager，my mother's broken English embarrasd me.But now，I e it differently.To me，my mother's English is perfectly clear，perfectly natural.It is my mother tongue.Her language，as I hear it，is vivid，direct，and full of obrvation and wisdom.It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things，expresd ideas，and made n of the world.

I once had a student who got his finger stuck inside a test tube in science class.It was really quite stuck.I knew something was up when I saw about 12 different shoulders around the room shaking as they heroically tried to hold back their laughter.This young man's finger continued to get whiter and whiter right before my eyes.
征文格式模板Remaining calm，I suggested he carefully rotate (旋转) the tube.It wouldn't move a bit.He tried soap and cold water.Still stuck.Meanwhile chaos was breaking out in my class，as my lesson became completely derailed．Finally，I nt this young man to the cretary，who raid six children of her own.With her in charge，I was completely confident all would be OK.
Forgetting about the lesson of the day，I masterfully got the students back in some degree of order by sharing my own story of getting my knee stuck between the rails of a balcony.Same kind of curiosity，I remembered wondering at the time how far I could thrust (塞) my knee between the rails.Inch by inch，I kept pushing and before I knew it，my knee was stuck swelling right before my eyes and in front of lots of strangers at a popular Las Vegas hotel!
