The Fifth Time I Went to the Principal’s Office

When I was in the seventh grade, I had problems behaving. My heart was in the right place,

but I couldn’t always follow the rules. I played many tricks on my schoolmates. Once, I even pulled a girl’s hair on the school bus to get her attention. As a result, I was sent to the office of the principal again and again. Although I hated going there, I did not hate the principal, Mr. Ratcliff.

Mr. Ratcliff was a kind, elderly man. When he spanked（ 打屁股） me for putting some ants

into a classmate’s pencil box, it didn’t hurt at all, but it did hurt my feelings. I thought so much of him and moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad. When I got called to Mr. Ratcliff’s office for the fifth time, I had no idea what I had done. I felt disappointed as I walked down there. I went into his office, sat down, and looked at the floor. Then he said the last thing I expected to hear: “Kevin, I’ve heard you’ve been behaving really well lately. I want you to know how proud I am of you, and I just called you down to my office to give you a peppermint.”

“Really?” I was surprised.

“Yes. Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class.”

I carried the peppermint with me as if it was a gold coin. When I got into my classroom, I

bragged （ 吹嘘） to my classmates about my turnaround, excitedly. I wasn’t so bad after all.

Mr. Ratcliff was really kind. He made me realize that I was just a kid who had problems with

behavior. He bought some peppermints and took the time to notice me when I got something-anything-right. Mr. Ratcliff gave me some hope by giving me some love. I will just remember him for the rest of my life. 26. In his seventh grade, the writer ______.

Nowadays, WeChat is popular among us，but if someone deletes you or blocks（屏蔽）you

on it，does it mean you've made him or her angry？It depends．

Maybe you have just left messages too often without much valuable information．For

example，the questions are those like ‘how are u？'‘what are u doing？'‘do u love me？'too often．You know，people may feel bored after answering such kinds of questions time after time.

your friend circle．I just blocked one of my middle school classmates yesterday because she was trying to sell fake goods in the friend circle，and I hate it quite much．

So why you are blocked may depend on his or her mood or interest，and the reasons a

person gets blocked are different from person to person．So I suggest you to write an email or make a phone call to that person if he or she really means a lot to you to see why he or she is not satisfied with you，and to find out how you can make up for the case．

D

Comte de Buffon, a French naturalist , wrote some books about natural history many years

ago. The books were a great success even though some critics did not like them.

Thomas Jefferson did not like what Comte de Buffon had said about the natural wonders

（奇观）of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that Comte de Buffon had spoken of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant.

This troubled Thomas Jefferson. He was also a naturalist, as well as a farmer, an inventor, a

historian, a writer and a politician. He had seen the natural wonders of Europe. To him, they were no more important than those of the New World.

In 1788, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia. While writing, he thought

of its natural beauty and then of the words of Comte de Buffon. At that moment, Jefferson created a new word—belittle. He said, “Comte de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic.”

Noah Webster, the American word expert, liked this word. He put it in the English language

dictionary in 1806, “Belittle—to make small, unimportant.”

Americans had already accepted Jefferson’s word and started to use it. In 1797, the

Independent Chronicle used the word to describe a politician the paper supported. “It is an honorable man,” the paper wrote, “so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please.”

In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word.

He said, “Belittle shouldn’t become English. And more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it.”

This expert failed to kill the word. Today, belittle is used where the English language is

spoken.

41. Thomas Jefferson was NOT a ______.

A. naturalist B. historian A. anger

C. politician D. musician

C. kindness D. responsibility C. 1896 D. 1872

42. We can infer that Jefferson created the word “belittle” out of his ______.

B. excitement

43. When did Americans started to use the word “belittle”?

A. In 1788 B. In 1797

44. Which statement about the word “belittle” is CORRECT?

A. It has already disappeared from the English language.

B. It had been used before it was put in the English language dictionary. C. It is used to describe natural wonders now.

D. An American politician decided to kill this word in 1872. 45. What’s the passage mainly about?

A. How the word “belittle” came into being. B. The argument about natural wonders. C. Every word has a long history behind. D. Noah Webster supported Jefferson’s idea.
