The two teachers were sitting in the teacher's room. For a moment there was
1 . Then one of them,
Miss Smith said: "I'm afraid I'd have to
2 him."
"Now, Alice," said her friend Mrs. Jackson, "is he such a terrible student?"
"That's just the
3 ," the other woman replied. "Tom is my best student. The problem is that he's now
so lazy that he never gets his
4 done. He hasn't handed me
5 of his homework for three weeks and
I'd be surprised
6 he did now."
7 before had Mrs. Jackson seen Miss Smith look so unhappy. "Have
you
8 with him about it?" she asked.
"Why should I? He knows he has to prepare his lessons and do his homework. I
9 that clear the first
day for class. When the course started, he did so
10 that I considered asking the
11 to give him a
scholarship (奖学金). But now he even
12 in class! I've never seen such a
13 in a student."
"You should have a
14 with him. Give him a chance to tell his side of story."
Miss Smith spoke to Tom and
15 all about it. He was studying all day and
16 most of the night in a
factory to pay for his education. Of course he was tired in the
17 and sometimes could hardly keep
18 .
Miss Smith soon arranged for him to have a
19 and he was able to give up his
20 and concentrate
(集中精力) on his studies.
