No One Will Ever Know
Karen,Judy and I were the last ones back in the classroom after lunch.All of the other sixth graders were already outside,since it was a pleasant spring day.
"Look at what I found this morning in the storage cupboard when I was getting out some art supplies for Mrs.Eiffler." said Karen,holding up a wooden box filled with short pieces of chalk in every color of the rainbow.
"Wow!What fun it would be to write on the chalkboard while everyone is outside." Judy said. "But Mrs.Eiffler doesn't allow us to write on the chalkboard." I responded,already feeling guilty. "Don't be afraid,Janet.No one will ever know," said Karen.I unwillingly joined my friends in the artwork but was afraid of being caught.I knew well that we were breaking not one,but two class rules.The second rule was that no one was allowed to stay inside at noon without a written excuse from home if the weather was nice.
Trying various colors,we drew houses,trees and three-dimensional boxes.It was fun!Then Judy had an idea. "We're all right-handed.Let's see who can write our names best using our left hands.Judy and Karen picked up their chalk and started writing.I chose a white piece from the box and wrote my name. "I think Judy is the winner," said Karen. "Hers is the best."
"We'd better get this board cleaned off before Mrs.Eiffler comes back," said Judy,erasing our artwork from the board.Everything came off but my name!
In disbelief,I looked carefully at the chalk I held in my sweaty hand.It wasn't chalk at all,but a small piece of white color crayon (蜡笔).My mother had a saying: "Fools,names and faces always appear in public places." I never understood fully what it meant before.Now I did!My knees felt weak.What would Mrs.Eiffler do to me?And the teacher would be returning soon.

【答案】"Quick,let's get some wet paper towels," said Judy.Everyone sprang into action.After rubbing pretty hard,my name still remained. "I think I saw a can of cleaner by the sink in the coat room," I said as I raced to find it.We rubbed with the cleaner and my name came off all right,but in the process of removing it,we left a friction mark on the chalkboard.Listening for footsteps coming down the hall,we dried the wet area as much as we could with more paper towels and fanned it with a book to remove every tell-tale trace of wetness.
We were just slipping into our desks when the bell rang.The other students began entering the classroom.The teacher walked in soon afterwards.Mrs.Eiffler never asked about the friction mark.Maybe she never noticed it,but I did.Every time I walked past the damaged surface of the chalkboard,I remembered it.Oh,how I remembered it so well.The lesson I learned that day is one I never forgot,even though 40 years have passed since the event. "No one will ever know" is never true.Even if no one else found out,I myself knew.Sometimes living with a guilty conscience is punishment enough.

1.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers,three sisters,my father and mother.We had little money and few goods,but plenty of love and attention.I was happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was,he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen,I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field.And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis,who not only believed in me,but often told me "Dream is priceless".However,when I was about to get off the ground,one particular incident happened,which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job.I was offered ﹩12.25 per hour.Compared with the average ﹩3.5,that was a big sum.I was so excited,because this meant a chance for money in my pocket,certainly money for a new bike and new clothes,and the start of savings for a house for my mojye.air.The prospect(前景)of the job was inviting,and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule.I didn't dare to tell my coach,I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, "If you make your bed,you have to lie in it. "I decided to talk to my coach in person.After all,my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.

2.Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.
She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours,she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat,but it was not even possible for her,since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand for a while,watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business.However,with no money in hand,she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, "Hey,girl,you want to have the noodles?
"Oh,yes…,but I don't have money on me…" she replied.
"That's nothing.I'll treat you today," said the man. "Come in."
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles,whose smell was so attractive.
As she was eating,Jenny cried silently.
"What is it?" asked the man kindly.
"Nothing,actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears. "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles,while my mother,drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!"
Hearing the words,the seller smiled, "Girl,do you really think so?I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you?Have you expressed your gratitude to her?"
Jenny sat there,speechless and numb with shock?she remembered Mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why did I not think of that?A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted,but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
On the way home,Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

3. One day,when I was a first-year student in high school,I saw a kid from my class walking home from school.His name was Kris.It looked like he was carrying all of his books.I thought to myself,"Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?He must really be a nerd(书呆子)."
I had quite a weekend planned(parties and a football game with my friends),so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.As I was walking,I saw a gang of kids running toward him.They ran at him,knocking all his books out of arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.His glasses went flying,and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.He looked up,and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him.So I jogged over to him,and as he crawled around looking for his glasses,I saw tears in his eyes.As I handed him his glasses,I said,"They are bad guys!They really should be punished."He looked at me and said,"Hey,thanks!"There was a big smile on his face.It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived.As it turned out,he lived near me,so I asked him why I had never seen him before.He said he had gone to a private school before.I would have never hung out with a private school kid before,but we talked all the way home,and I carried his books.
