I have never learned as much math in my life as I did last year. It was because of Ms. Vacirca 1 I truly understood what I was learning. It might not seem 2 a big deal to some, but to me it is. I have never met a woman so caring and so determined to teach her 3 .
I never really wanted to work for good 4 in math class. I never knew how to study math and never understood some of the concepts. I can remember trying to sneak out of the classroom 5 Ms. Vacirca caught me and yelled across the 6 , “Lauren, are you coming to extra help during lunch?” It was a nightmare – she would always 7 me with one foot out of the door, it never 8 . Even then I just thought of it as a thing I had to do. It was funny to see how everyone would be in her room during lunch and then again after school. She would 9 everyone to come every day, just so we could do our homework in 10 .
Many of the students thought of her as a bit of nag, but 11 they knew that she was right and 12 for it. Many of her tests were hard at first, but as the years progressed, so did I. I know that it was because of her.
Even outside class, she was 13 as ever. She always wanted to know what was going on in my (and everyone else’s) life, and she was always looking out for everyone’s best interest.
Ms. Vacirca is a sweet woman with a sense of 14 that you just have to laugh at. When regents were approaching, she was more concerned than ever about everyone doing well. Many of her precious students 15 high, and so she 16 the same from us. Day after day there were students in the classroom 17 problems. When it was time for our big test, I knew I was ready, I walked out of that test with my head 18 . I knew that I was a 19 and Ms. Vacirca had made me that way. I appreciated all the hard work that she put into helping me and my fellow students. I knew that I would 20 her.

Cheektowage Central Middle School can be a lot of fun. It has game nights and student dances, after-school activities, and sports teams. However, students at the school must earn the right to join in the fun. If they don’t do their homework, participate in class, and behave at all times, they’re banned(禁止) from participating in after-school activities.
Students and parents say the threat of being excluded(排除在外) appears to be working. Kenny T. of Reno, Nev., says it taught him that actions have consequences: “I learned that I need to be balanced in both my work and athletics to be rewarded for working hard.” Parent Sondra LaMacchia told The New York Times that her 14-year-old daughter is learning responsibility at Cheektowaga Central. The teen used to perform poorly in her studies, but then she was banned from a school dance. The message got through loud and clear. “It’s nobody’s fault but hers,” LaMacchia said.
Although exclusion may help teach responsibility, some psychologists say it can also be threatening, especially for students who often cause, or may cause, trouble in school. They might become more aggressive and antisocial, which is exactly what schools like Cheektowaga Central want to prevent.
Should schools exclude students from activities to get them to behave? I believe teens need school activities and that inclusion can be the answer. For some troubled students, activities can be their motivation to stay in school. “Activities such as sports may be the only thing keeping certain students in school,” says Duace Wood, a teacher at Mohonasen High School in Rotterdam, N.Y. Getting involved in after-class activities keeps troublesome students in class. Even if they don’t do as well as their classmates, they are still learning. The more time they spend at school, the less time they have to even think about starting trouble. Teams also provide support and role models, and they help build the confidence that students need to succeed. If students who don’t behave are banned from activities, they might give up on school altogether.
【小題1】Paragraph 2 is developed by _______.
| A．a(chǎn)nalyzing causes | B．giving examples |
| C．examining differences | D．following the time order |
| A．it provides role models |
| B．her daughter is aggressive |
| C．her daughter hates taking exercise |

| A．students who are good at sports |
| B．students who often cause trouble |
| C．teens who do well in their studies |
