10 .

It was a hot day in early September. “Write about summer vacation,” Mrs. Peabody gave the class a writing assignment. She was a strict, older woman. “Be as creative as you can. But,” Mrs. Peabody added, as she always did, “make sure you use proper spelling and grammar.”

Jim didn’t want to write a stupid essay about his summer vacation. So he gave up on the assignment and wrote what he wanted to. Not an essay at all but a short story. Science fiction. It was about a distant planet that didn’t have summer—it was spring all the time. And it didn’t have vacations either. The aliens on the planet worked 24 four hours a day.

The next morning he handed in the story but soon he felt regretful. He even couldn’t sleep well. In English class, he saw the way Mrs. Peabody looked at him with a strange look in her strict, psychic eyes for long. I’m in trouble, Jim thought, staring at the floor.

Mrs. Peabody said, “Almost everyone in class wrote an essay about his or her summer vacation... Almost everyone.”

This’s bad, Jim thought. I’m getting an F, I know it.

“But,” the teacher continued, “one student decided he didn’t feel like doing that.”

This’s worse than an F... I’m in note-to-the-parents territory now.

“All of your essays read as if they were written in your sleep. Just one of you had the courage to be as imaginative as I asked you to be. Jim Martin is the only one who got an A on the assignment. Now I’m going to ask him to come up here and read his story to you as an example of thinking independently and being creative.” Then, being Mrs. Peabody, she added strictly, “though he should have a little more attention to proper spelling and grammar.”

Jim walked to the front of the classroom, as if he were climbing to the top of Mount Everest or were the first person to step onto the surface of Mars.

What a small thing really, he now reflected as he dodged through the crowded hallway, just a single assignment. But what a difference that moment had made to him.

1. Why couldn’t Jim sleep well?

A．Because he felt tired out after writing for a whole day.

B．Because he thought the story he wrote was interesting.

C．Because he was afraid of being punished by his parents.

D．Because he worried that Mrs.Peabody might be unsatisfied.

2. How did Jim feel when Jim walked to the front of the classroom?

A．Proud.

B．Relaxed.

C．Comfortable.

D． Curious.

3. Which can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A．Jim failed to have fun during the summer vacation.

B．Mrs. Peabody enjoyed giving her students surprises.

C．Jim’s parents were easy to get angry about his study.

D．The students would learn to be creative while writing.
