Question

【题目】Mrs. Thompson had noticed that Teddy didn’t play well with other children in her class. His clothes were a mess and he needed a bath. Mrs. Thompson marked all his papers with a big red “F” at the top.

At the end of the term, she had to review each child’s past records. When reviewing Teddy’s, she was surprised. Teddy’s first grade teacher had written, “Teddy does his work well and has good manners. He is a joy to be around.” His second grade teacher had written, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled by his mother’s illness.” His third grade teacher had written, “His mother’s death has been hard on him.” Teddy’s fourth grade teacher had written, “Teddy is not good at communicating and doesn’t have many friends.”

Mrs. Thompson felt shame about Teddy. She felt even worse when she received Teddy’s Christmas present – a bottle of perfume（香水）. She tried some of the perfume on her neck. Teddy stayed after school that day just long enough to say: “Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my Mom used to.” She cried for at least an hour.

On that day, Mrs. Thompson began to pay attention to Teddy. As she worked with Teddy, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the better he performed. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.
