to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...” “Forty.”

“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you’ve been here two months, so...”

“Two months and five days.”

“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays... you know you didn’t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but— not a word.

“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven–nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves…hmm… forty one dollars. Correct？”

Julia’s left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled(颤抖); she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but — still not a word.

“Around New Year’s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but forget it. When didn’t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect(疏忽), Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick’s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.” “You didn’t. ”sobbed(哭泣) Julia. “But I made a note of it.” “Well... if you say so.”

“Take twenty seven from forty one — that leaves fourteen.”

Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl! “Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”

“Really? You see now, and I didn’t know that! Take three from fourteen… leaves eleven. Here’s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !” I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them. “Merci (Thanks),”she whispered. I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this ‘merci’?” I asked.

“For the money. ”

“But you know I’ve cheated you — robbed you! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this ‘merci’？” “In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.”

“They didn’t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I’m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless(懦弱)? Why didn’t you protest(反抗)? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)— to be such a fool?” Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression, “It is possible.”

I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little “merci” several times and went out. I looked after her and thought, “How easy it is to crush(压碎) the weak in this world !”

第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。 注意：每空限填1个单词。

The parents of a troubled teen may feel unsure as to whom to turn to in order to find help for their child. They may feel as if they have used up all of their choices, and sometimes they are on the way to giving up. But there is hope. Schools for troubled teens offer discipline(纪律) and in some cases, drug treatment programs that can provide important life skills, and more importantly, a fresh start.

The following is a list of the most effective types of schools for troubled teens. Not every facility is a match for every child, but by knowing the differences between them, parents can make a better decision about where to send their teenager.

Boarding Schools

When a child is unable to deal with the relative freedom of a standard school day, boarding schools might be a good choice. At boarding schools, the child lives in a dorm setting, where almost every minute of the day is scheduled by school administrators(管理员).

Treatment Centers

When a teenager has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, a residential(提供住宿的) center that specializes in young people is an outstanding way to help them put an end to addiction. Treatment centers help identify the root causes of the drug problem and help develop the life skills needed to stay clean when the program is over.

Wilderness Programs

Designed to help improve the discipline and self-reliance(自力更生) of the child, wilderness programs send kids back to nature. By placing them in a foreign and sometimes uncomfortable setting, wilderness programs hope to improve children’s behavior. Programs generally include hikes, exercise programs and team building exercises. Boot Camps

Boot camps are the most extreme style of school for troubled teens. These facilities are modeled after actual military boot camps, where every student must get into shape, work as part of a team, and follow a long, hard set of rules and regulations. However, boot camps might not be the best choice for a teen with a drug addiction.

Recently our school has conducted a survey about why senior school students go to school. The results of the survey are as follows.

As we can see, most of the students surveyed, about 60%, go to school in order to go to college. About 19% of them wish to change their present situation by working hard at school, while 9% of them study so as to make contributions to society in the future. Only a small number of the students, about 5%, say that they are forced to learn things that they don’t like by their parents and teachers. And another 7% of the students go to school for other reasons.

As for me, I am encouraged by my dream of going to a key university and the idea of living a better life in the future. I believe I will do what I can and my dream will come true in three years’ time.
