Dear Mr. Lin, I left your class ten years ago, but I still remember the (11) you taught me about being honest, and I still remember your smile. At that time I was a slender boy who sat in the back row and said nothing. (12) You waited for me after school, and you never once blamed me. Today I study education at a university, and I aim to become a teacher too. (13), I will go back to the campus and thank you in person on Teacher's Day. I know you are busy, (14) I hope you can give me ten minutes.

Passage 2
The School Garden Project
Our class started a garden (15) on the empty ground behind the garage last season. Each group chose one plant and had to water it every morning before the first lesson, so we all got some fresh air. At first the work looked easy. (16) The ground was hard, and some plants died in the cold. Mr. Chen told us that nature does not follow our plan, and that a good gardener must wait. (17), we picked our first lemons in May. Everyone got an equal share, (18) the two students who had watered the plants every single day got one more.
解析班最後說 No, only a pen and your card,表示習作不用帶。筆和學生證都要帶。

A Question for Miss Chen
Dear Miss Chen,
I am writing about the science project that we must hand in next Monday. My group chose to study how plants grow in the dark, and we have watched our plants for three weeks. However, two of our plants died last Sunday, and we do not know the reason.
May we write about why they died and not show how tall they grew? We think this may be more useful for the class. If you do not agree, we will start again with new plants, but then we will need one more week.
Please tell me before Thursday so that our group can plan our weekend.

✔ 正確答案:(A) Her group needs to plan the weekend

解析Please tell me before Thursday so that our group can plan our weekend。專題是下星期一交,不是星期四。
ARTICLE
Why We Still Need Teachers
Today a student can find almost any fact anywhere, on a phone, in a few seconds. Some people therefore guess that schools will soon close and that no one will need a teacher.
But a fact is not the same as an education. A machine can tell you the year of a war, yet it cannot see that you are afraid to speak, or notice that you have not eaten supper. A good teacher watches the person, not only the answer; that is the key to a real education, and no online course can do it alone.
Learning is also something we do together. In class we hear other students say things we never thought of, and we learn to listen even when we do not agree. That is a lesson no phone can deliver.
