Every September,I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know.The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.I fretted that my teachers would label me the "Jewish kid".
The real trouble always came as the local new year's festival approached.I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah,not this festival.At school,on one day before the winter break,every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival.However,the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel,Dreidel,Dreidel,a Jewish festival song,and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks.As my friends counted down the days until the festival,I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal.
Each year during primary school,my mother would coordinate (協(xié)調(diào)) with my teacher to come to my class and tell the story of Hanukkah.She would prepare treats and materials depending on my age.Every time I would proudly stand beside her as she told the story of Hanukkah and explained the symbols.The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions.After my mom left,I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes.
My mom's annual visits to my school sparked (激發(fā)) interest from other parents as well.Over the years,we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy.
My mom showed me,my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared,an intention which I continue to set for myself as I cycle through another holiday season.

1.For several days Ⅰ(Jane Eyre) saw little of Mr.Rochester.One evening,I was invited to talk to him after dinner.There was a smile on his lips,and his eyes were shining brightly.As I was looking at him,he suddenly turned around and asked me, "Do you think I'm handsome,Miss Eyre?"
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: "No,sir."
"Ah,you are really unusual!You look like a quiet,serious little person,but you can be almost rude."
"Sir,I'm sorry.I shouldn't have given an immediate answer to such a question about appearances;I should have said that beauty doesn't matter,or something like that."
"No,you shouldn't!I see,you criticize my appearance,and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear!You have honesty and feeling.There are not many girls like you.Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance(抵消) your few good points."
I thought to myself that he might have too.He seemed to read my mind,and said quickly, "Yes,you're right.I have plenty of faults.I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one,and have never found the right path again.I might have been as good as you,and perhaps wiser.I am not a bad man,take my word for it,but I have done wrong.It wasn't my character,but circumstances that were to blame.Why do I tell you all this?Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to,because you're sympathetic and you give them hope."
"Don't be afraid of me,Miss Eyre," he continued." You don't relax or laugh very much,perhaps because of the effect Lowood has had on you.But in time you will be more natural when you're with me,and laugh,and speak freely.You're like a bird in a cage.When you get out of the cage,you'll fly very high.Good night."
(1)Why did Mr.Rochester say "and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear" in paragraph 5?
A.Because Jane had offered some unnecessary explanations.
B.Because Jane had intended to be more critical.
C.Because Jane had regretted having talked to him.
D.Because Jane had intended to kill him with a knife.

A.tell her all his troubles
B.tell her his life experience
C.change her opinion of him

3.My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish:I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours.My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer's road trip.
As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip,I came across a book Jim Trelease's The Read Aloud Handbook.This could be the answer to my problem,I thought.So I put Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach into my bag.When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach,my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats.But after several lines,they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.
We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly.Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip.I read Wilson Rawls's Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach.We arrived just behind the power crews restoring(恢復(fù))electricity after a tropical storm.The rain continued most of the week,and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm.When we returned home,I asked my son what he liked about the trip.He answered without hesitation,"The book you read in the car. "
Road trips still offer challenges,even though my children now are teenagers.But we continue to read as we roll across the country.And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time.For at least a little while,we are not shut in our own electronic worlds.And maybe we've started something that will pass on to the next generation.
