My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future.I was in the classrooms,but I wasn't there to learn to write,read or even speak.When it was my turn to read,I wanted to hide.I was 13 years old,but I already hated being who I was.
I had an English teacher,Mr.Creech,who knew I couldn't read.In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up.I felt so embarrassed.But at the same time,it made me realize that I needed to change the situation.I was determined that it wouldn't happen again.Later that day,Mr.Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read.From then on,I never gave up practicing reading.
Now I was 41 years old.One day,I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family.On my way from the airport,I saw Mr.Creech buying himself a drink.I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him."Do I know you?"he asked."Yes,sir,you do know me,"I answered excitedly."My name is Anthony Hamilton.You taught me English."The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he'd once encouraged.
"I'm so glad I had a chance to see you,"I said."And Mr.Creech,I have great news to share,"I told him I had learned to read.But that wasn't all.I had become a published author and an active speaker."The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom,please encourage him to read as well,"I added.
The experts say what once worried me has a name:dyslexia.But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education.

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
(1)Where may the boy live according to the passage?
A.In an orphanage.
B.In a big prison.
C.In the school dormitory.
D.In his home.
(2)What grade should the boy have got in the math test this time?
A.D-
B.E

C.copied
D.hid
(4)The reason why the boy remembers Mr.Young is that
