　　As the teacher called my name, I knew what lay ahead.She looked at me directly and made me to the whiteboard to perform a division(除法) problem.Division was my weakest subject.I repeatedly put the numbers in the 　1　 places, or forgot to add in the zeros. 
I worriedly 　2　 myself out of my seat.With every slow step I took, I grew more nervous.My stomach ached, and my whole body shook with 　3　. 
The teacher read the problem aloud.Unsure of myself, I looked at the girl beside me, and tried to 　4　 what she was writing, but she went faster than I could understand, writing down what seemed to be foreign symbols. 
My eyes fixed on the chicken scratch I had tried.Impossible to understand.Why me? Why couldn’t I work out the problem that seemed easy to all other kids? These questions filled my head.
As the other girl finished and danced back to her seat, I wrote some random(胡乱的) numbers on the board, and 　5　 back to mine.The teacher read over our work. 
“Now, class, Susie did this problem absolutely correctly.”
“As for Tara,” the teacher said jokingly,“I don’t even know what she did.”
The class burst into laughs, and I felt my face turn red as I tried to sink as low as possible into my seat, hoping to prevent them from 　6　 me at all. 
But this memory is one I remember, surprisingly, in a positive way.It made me 　7　, and gave me persistence.When I get a poor grade in school, or am put down by somebody, I think of that moment and every single one of those 　8　 that I asked myself.The terrible ache in my stomach comes back and gives me the motivation to answer all of those whys and try hard until perfection, or as close as I can get.

Schools Take the Fun Out of Suspension(停课)
Suspension just isn’t what it used to be. Once, school officials could be sure that if they kicked a misbehaving student out of school, the student’s angry and embarrassed parents would be sure to punish their child.
But these days, too many parents are working, while others don’t really care. For some students, suspension has become another holiday, all the sweeter because everyone else is in class.
Now, several school leaders in Ventura County are having second thoughts about suspension. They are changing rules and using a new approach when it comes to punishment—instead of sending students home, they are keeping more troublemakers at school. Students who break school rules are still suspended, but must stay on school grounds, where they catch up on homework, write personal goals, or clean up the school.
The school officials are also concerned about teens falling behind in school. “We want to keep students in school because that’s our business,” said the school leader Bob La Bella. He said at-school suspension prevents the “snowball effect”, when a student who gets in trouble in one class is sent home for a few days and ends up behind in all six classes.
In several schools, teachers or school staff watch over suspended students. Some schools call their at-school suspension classes “opportunity rooms”. Educators say these places are where students have the opportunity to turn their lives around. “Behavior is an outward sign of an inner problem in school,” said the school leader Chuck Weis. “Suspension can give us an opportunity to work on the real problem.”
Middle school students from Ventura are sent to a special “suspension school” held on Fridays at Ventura College. They spend from 8 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon there, involved in activities aimed at controlling their anger, raising their self-confidence, and improving their attitude toward school. In return, the suspension doesn’t show up on their school record.
At 8:15 a.m. on a recent Friday, teacher Peter Shedlosky asked the students to introduce themselves: their names, grades, schools, and reasons for suspension. A few kids’ voices cracked as they took their turns reciting their misbehavior: “I got kicked out of class. I pushed this guy. I beat up some kid. I got into a fight.”
Ventura educators say having the suspension school in a college also encourages the students to improve their behavior and grades. During the day, they take a tour of the college campus, look through the college material, and talk about careers.

Ⅲ. 回答问题
　　I’m David and I’ve been living in the United States for over ten years, and I now say thank you about 50 times a day. Often I do it without thinking. I say thank you to the cashier at the coffee shop. I say thank you to my wife and my 5-year-old daughter several times a day for different things. When I first moved to the United States, I didn’t know I was supposed to thank someone who took my money for something I bought at a store. I had no idea I was supposed to thank people when they asked how I was doing.
I grew up in the northern Indian city of Lucknow, in a culture in which saying thank you is not done lightly. I learned to say thank you in English when I was in elementary school. And when I thanked anyone, I said it in English, which was less embarrassing and more casual than doing so in Hindi. I saved my thanks for those who had done huge favors for me. And I didn’t thank my friends or classmates very often. When I did, they regarded the act as a playful way to practise English.
Saying dhanyavaad, or thank you in Hindi, to someone without looking at him or her is just as good as not saying it at all. As a kid, I heard my father say dhanyavaad to people of his age, and he did it as seriously as possible, with his hands joined in front of his chest. He wasn’t just thanking someone for something, but asking for an opportunity to return the favor.
Now, when I travel to India, I often upset people by saying thank you to them. On a recent trip home, I was invited to my uncle’s house for dinner. He’s been a father figure to me, teaching me many things at every step of my life. That day, I made the mistake of telling him, in English, “Thank you for inviting me.” before leaving his house. He didn’t respond, but I saw he was unhappy. I couldn’t even apologize for thanking him. The damage was done.
Different countries and different people have different manners. We must find out their customs, so that they will not think us ill-mannered.
13.How often does David say thank you now?

14.Where did David grow up?

15.Who did David save his thanks for?

16.What is the third paragraph mainly about?

17.Why was David’s uncle unhappy?
