I was twenty then, teaching a class of thirty students in Toronto including Mike, a 10-year-old street kid. Having lost his father and mother, he lived with a mentally-disturbed grandmother.

He was always hungry, so each day I’d take him for breakfast before class. Each noon after I shared my lunch with him, I taught him new skills—using a microscope, constructing a camera etc.

One day Mike told me of his dream. Most kids in the class wanted to be doctors, teachers or some such thing, but not Mike! His desire was to be a gangster (强盗)! And he was serious about it.

I believed all children had a gift for what he wanted to be. If he wanted to be a gangster, I’d do all I could to help him become the very best “gangster”.

I had a plan. Every Saturday after we had breakfast, I took him to the Law Library of the city. I explained to him a good gangster had to know something about criminal law, and reading up on law was the only way to learn. His young mind was interested, and he dove in.

That was how we spent each Saturday morning that year. I’d drop him off at the law library. Three hours later, I’d return, pick him up for lunch and after a review of his morning’s work, take him home.

The following year I taught in another school far away, which prevented me continuing to participate physically with him on Saturday mornings. But I provided him with public transportation tickets so he could keep up his regular study at the library.

Later I got married and moved to London. Sadly, and to my great regret, I lost contact with Mike.

Years passed. I often thought of him, wondering what had become of him. Then, one day, I was back in Toronto on business, looking up the number of a former colleague in the telephone directory, and there, Mike’s name as part of a title of “JUDGES and LAWYERS” danced off the page into my eyes.

4 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

For years Grandpa taught me chess on a well-worn chessboard, the bottom of which was covered with dozens of names and dates.

“What’s this, Grandpa?” I asked one day.

“These are the men from World War I, passing the time with me on the front line. Whenever someone beat me, I let them write their name on it.”

“This fellow, Sergeant Paul Ward, saved me from German soldiers,” Grandpa pointed to a name, “and carried me off the field. While both of us were in hospital, he beat me at chess.”

He handed the chessboard to me saying, “I want you to have it now. That’s the way it is in life: we pass our love on to the next person.

Sadly, it wasn’t long before Grandpa passed away.

Later I volunteered to be the social worker for a retirement community in a park, where I observed elderly residents sitting alone silently, heads down.

Several stone tables in the park had chessboards imprinted on them. One day, I set up my chess pieces and waited.

An elderly man cautiously approached.

“Care for a game?” I cheerfully inquired.

The man smiled weakly and sat down.

“Your move... um, didn’t catch your name.”

“Paul,” he said.

“Your move, Paul.”

He hesitated, as if not sure how to proceed. I tried not being aggressive in my play, but only delayed his defeat.

He sighed, “It’s been long since I played. Will you come tomorrow?”

“Yes, and every day after that.”

The next day when I arrived, Paul was already there, playing another elderly gentleman. I set up my pieces on a table waiting for others.

Soon our play extended to a merry club of chess-playing seniors, twenty people showing up each day and many more watching.

I didn’t played Paul after our first game but he came every day playing chess with others.

We ran short of chessboards, so I decided to bring Grandpa’s.

Paul approached once I set up the board. Staring at the chessboard thoughtfully, he said, “How about a rematch?”

Once we began, I saw Paul not only have his chess skills refined but also show a change of mental state.

When I told Paul Grandpa’s custom about this chessboard and asked him to write his name on the back, Paul smiled and said, "No need.”

6 . The environmental practices of big businesses are shaped by a fundamental fact that offends our sense of justice. A business may maximize the amount of money it makes by damaging the environment and hurting people. When government regulation is effective, and the public is environmentally aware, environmentally clean big businesses may out-compete dirty ones, but the reverse is likely to be true if government regulation is ineffective and the public doesn’t care.

It is easy to blame a business for helping itself by hurting other people. But blaming alone is unlikely to produce change. It ignores the fact that businesses are not charities but profit-making companies, and they are under obligation to maximize profits for shareholders by legal means.

Our blaming of businesses also ignores the ultimate responsibility of the public for creating the conditions that let a business profit through destructive environmental policies. In the long run, it is the public, either directly or through its politicians, that has the power to make such destructive policies unprofitable and illegal, and to make sustainable environmental policies profitable.

The public can do that by accusing businesses of harming them. The public may also make their opinion felt by choosing to buy sustainably harvested products; by preferring their governments to award valuable contracts to businesses with a good environmental track record; and by pressing their governments to pass and enforce laws and regulations requiring good environmental practices.

In turn, big businesses can exert powerful pressure on any suppliers that might ignore public or government pressure. For instance, after the US public became concerned about the spread of a disease, transmitted to humans through infected meat, the US government introduced rules demanding that the meat industry abandon practices associated with the risk of the disease spreading. But the meat packers refused to follow these, claiming that they would be too expensive to obey. However, when a fast-food company made the same demands after customer purchases of its hamburgers dropped, the meat industry followed immediately. The public’s task is therefore to identify which links in the supply chain are sensitive to public pressure.

Some readers may be disappointed or outraged that I place the ultimate responsibility for business practices harming the public on the public itself. I also believe that the public must accept the necessity for higher prices for products to cover the added costs of sound environmental practices. My views may seem to ignore the belief that businesses should act in accordance with moral principles even if this leads to a reduction in their profits. But I think we have to recognize that, throughout human history, government regulation has arisen precisely because it was found that not only did moral principles need to be made explicit, they also needed to be enforced.

My conclusion is not a moralistic one about who is right or wrong, admirable or selfish. I believe that changes in public attitudes are essential for changes in businesses’ environmental practices.
