1. Why did the author refer to the poetry contest as a turning point in his life?

2. What's the sentence order when little is used as the first word in a sentence?

When I was in first grade， my teacher Mrs True made an announcement， “We're having a poetry contest this week. Use today and tomorrow to come up with your best poem.” We had just studied the various types of poems， and I decided I really liked the ones thatrhymed.

As my classmates wrote about their parents，grandparents， aunts and uncles， brothers and sisters， I carefullycraftedthe words to my poem：I Love Penny. Penny was my 7-year-old dog and my best friend in the whole world. My poem was good enough to win first prize. At any rate， I won a fewsparklypencils and the honor of going first in the lunch line. Mrs True also displayed my poem in the front of the room for all to see. I felt very special.

Little did Mrs True know that her lesson on poetry contest was a turning point in my life.After winning that writing contest I thought to myself， “Hey， I am actually good at something.Maybe I should do more of this writing stuff.” I started writing all the time. I wrote poems about every member of my family. I wrote short stories about two lovely animals. I even became the editor of my elementary school newspaper. And all the while， Mrs True was cheering me on.

Today， when I make appearances at elementary schools and read my children's books to the students， I am always asked：“When did you become a writer?” Without missing a beat I always answer quickly， “In first grade...when Mrs True taught me about poetry，and I won a contest for a poem about my big， fat dog.”

Teachers make such an impact on who we become as adults. They have a voice into our young， eager hearts， and that voice may be the only one that offers an encouraging word. I'm so thankful to Mrs True and teachers like her who challenge young people to follow their dreams.Offering an encouraging word at the righttime can be life-changing for someone.Why not be a “Mrs True” in somebody's life today?

文本探究

探究視角1：語篇分析

教師是學(xué)生最經(jīng)常接觸、最直接、最具權(quán)威性的榜樣，教師每天與學(xué)生接觸6至9小時(shí)，甚至更長，而父母雖然每天與孩子在一起10多個(gè)小時(shí)，但其中睡眠時(shí)間占多半。 教師與學(xué)生“有效接觸”的時(shí)間遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)多于家長，因而使其更容易用自己的情感、意志、行為去熏陶和影響學(xué)生。 教師的一言一行、一舉一動(dòng)是他們模仿的對(duì)象。教師對(duì)學(xué)生的影響是深刻且巨大的。這些影響，不僅體現(xiàn)在教師組織、實(shí)施教育教學(xué)的行為過程中，還體現(xiàn)在教師自身的心理傾向、思想水平、人格魅力和知識(shí)的淵博度等，這些都會(huì)對(duì)學(xué)生產(chǎn)生不可估量的影響。

閱讀記敘文時(shí)，除了要弄清楚記敘文的要素“時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、人物、事件和結(jié)果”之外，還要關(guān)注記敘文的結(jié)構(gòu)。 記敘文結(jié)構(gòu)是作品謀篇布局的整體設(shè)計(jì)。 主要組成部分：主題—過程—高潮—結(jié)果—評(píng)價(jià)。 主題部分往往是事件的原因，是引子；過程部分是對(duì)事件發(fā)展的敘述；高潮部分通常是經(jīng)歷某個(gè)事件所帶來的巨大改變，是讀者關(guān)注的中心；結(jié)果部分是某一事件最終的結(jié)果展示；評(píng)價(jià)部分是某個(gè)事件對(duì)讀者所帶來的有普遍意義的啟示。 撰寫記敘文時(shí)，要根據(jù)實(shí)際情況采用合適的結(jié)構(gòu)去靈活多樣地展示事件。

本文的篇章結(jié)構(gòu)如下：

Structure Paragraph Main idea（s）Topic Para. 1 An announcement： a poetry contest Prizes of my poem 1. The first prize 2. A few sparkly pencils 3. The honor of going first in the lunch line 4.

Ⅱ. 句型總結(jié)

英語中的倒裝，往往是對(duì)某個(gè)事實(shí)進(jìn)行強(qiáng)調(diào)。 因此，掌握必要的倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)知識(shí)是有效應(yīng)對(duì)高考的必備條件。 下面就根據(jù)本文中出現(xiàn)的否定副詞或介詞短語位于句首引起的倒裝進(jìn)行總結(jié)。

用法否定副詞或介詞短語（no、hardly、seldom、little、never、in no way、in no case、 at no time、on no condition、by no means、under no circumstances、hardly...when...、no sooner...than...、not only、not until）放句首，部分倒裝。例句Seldom did he come late to school. 他很少上學(xué)遲到。Hardly had we got to the destination when we began to work. 我們一到達(dá)目的地，就開始勞動(dòng)。Under no circumstances should we cheat ourselves in exams. 在任何情況下我們都不應(yīng)該在考試時(shí)作弊。Not until all the fish died in the river did the villagers realize how serious the pollution was. 直到河里的魚都死了，村民才認(rèn)識(shí)到污染的嚴(yán)重性。Not only should we study science， but also we should pay attention to politics. 我們不僅應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)，還應(yīng)該關(guān)注政治。

Ⅲ. 寫作推薦

動(dòng)名詞作主語

Offering an encouraging word at the right time can be life-changing for someone. 恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候，一句鼓勵(lì)的話，就可能改變某人的人生。

句中的動(dòng)名詞短語Offering...time作主語。 需要注意的是：動(dòng)名詞作主語時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞通常用單數(shù)形式；當(dāng)表語為no use、no good、any good、fun等名詞或worth、nice等形容詞時(shí)，句首常用it作形式主語，而將動(dòng)名詞后置，即it is no use / no good / no fun / a waste of time doing sth或it is nice / worth /worthwhile doing sth。

【仿寫】和你一起工作是一種樂趣。

墨子訓(xùn)徒

春秋戰(zhàn)國時(shí)期，耕柱是一代宗師墨子的得意門生。不過，他老是挨墨子的責(zé)罵。有一次，墨子又責(zé)備了耕柱。 耕柱覺得自己真是委屈，因?yàn)樵谠S多門生之中，大家都認(rèn)為耕柱是最優(yōu)秀的人，但又偏偏常遭到墨子指責(zé)，這讓他覺得沒面子、心里過不去。

一天，耕柱憤憤不平地問墨子：“老師，難道在這么多學(xué)生當(dāng)中，我竟是如此差勁，以至于要時(shí)常遭您老人家責(zé)罵嗎？”墨子聽后，毫不動(dòng)肝火：“假設(shè)我現(xiàn)在要上太行山，依你看，我應(yīng)該要用良馬來拉車，還是用老牛來拖車？”耕柱回答說：“再笨的人也知道要用良馬來拉車。”墨子又問：“那么，為什么不用老牛呢？ ”耕柱回答說：“理由非常簡(jiǎn)單，因?yàn)榱捡R足以擔(dān)負(fù)重任，值得驅(qū)遣。 ”墨子說：“你的回答一點(diǎn)都沒錯(cuò)。 我之所以時(shí)常責(zé)罵你，也只因?yàn)槟隳軌驌?dān)負(fù)重任，值得我一再地教導(dǎo)與匡正你。 ”

古語有云：“玉不琢，不成器?！备F其一生，我們能遇到幾位用心雕琢璞玉的老師呢？如果真的遇到了，請(qǐng)記得珍惜，不要因?yàn)槔蠋煹呢?zé)備而選擇怨恨。 因?yàn)?，也許老師恰恰是在用這種方式來成就你。 用感恩的心看待這一切，一切都會(huì)變得很美好。
