C She was only about five feet tall and probably never weighed
She was only about five feet tall and probably never weighed more than 110 pounds,but Miss Bessie was a towering presence in the classroom.She was the only woman tough enough to make me read Beowulf and think for a few stupid days that I liked it.From 1938 to 1942,she taught me English,history — and a lot more than I realized.
I shall never forget the day she scolded (批评) me into reading Beowulf.“But Miss Bessie,” I complained,“I ain’t much interested in it.”
Her large brown eyes became sharp.“Boy,” she said,“how dare you say ‘ain’t’ to me!I’ve taught you better than that.”
“Miss Bessie,” I said,“I’m trying to join the football team,and if I go around saying ‘it isn’t’ and ‘they aren’t,’ the guys are gonna laugh me off the team.”
“Boy,” she replied,“you’ll play football because you have guts (勇气).But do you know what really takes guts?Refusing to lower your standards to those of the crowd.It takes guts to say you’ve got to live and be somebody fifty years after all the football games are over.”
I started saying “it isn’t” and “they aren’t,” and I still joined the team without losing my friends’ respect.
Negroes,as we were called then,were not allowed in the town library,except to sweep floors or clean tables.But with the help of some nice whites,Miss Bessie kept getting books out of the white library.That is how she introduced me to the Brontës,Byron and Keats.“If you don’t read,you can’t write,and if you can’t write,you might as well stop dreaming,” Miss Bessie once told me.
So I read whatever Miss Bessie told me to,and tried to remember the things she insisted that I store away.It could be embarrassing to be unprepared when Miss Bessie said,“Get up and tell the class who Frances Perkins is and what you think about her.” Forty-five years later,I can still recite her “truths to live by”.
Miss Bessie noticed things that had nothing to do with schoolwork,but were essential to a youngster’s development.Once a few classmates made fun of my worn-out hand-me-down overcoat.As I was leaving school,Miss Bessie patted me on the back of that old overcoat and said,“Carl,never worry about what you don’t have.Just make the most of what you do have — a brain.”
No child can get all the necessary support at home,and millions of poor children get no support at all.This is what makes a wise,educated,warm-hearted teacher like Miss Bessie so essential to the minds,hearts and souls of this country’s children.

再问： 为什么
再答： 她只有五英尺高，体重可能不会超过110英镑，但贝西小姐是一个高耸的存在在教室。她是唯一的女性坚韧足以让我读贝奥武夫和思考一些愚蠢的日子，我喜欢它。从1938到1942，她教我英语，历史，和很多比我更现实。 我永远不会忘记那一天她骂（批评）我读贝奥武夫。“但是，贝西小姐，”我抱怨说，“我对它不怎么感兴趣。” 她的大褐色眼睛变得锋利。“孩子，”她说，“你怎么敢说的不是我！我教你更好。” “贝西小姐，”我说，“我想加入足球队，如果我说‘不’和‘不，’他们会笑我的团队。” “孩子，”她回答，“你会踢足球是因为你有勇气（勇气）。但你知道什么是真的需要勇气？拒绝降低你的标准，这些人群。这需要勇气说你得生活和个人五十年后所有的足球比赛结束了。” 我开始说“不”与“没有，”我还加入了球队没有失去我的朋友们的尊重。 当我们被称为黑人，然后，不允许在市图书馆，除了打扫地板或清洁餐桌。但需要一些漂亮的白人，贝西小姐一直得到书籍的图书馆。这是她把我介绍给勃朗特ë，拜伦和济慈。“你要是不读书，你不能写，如果你不能写，你也别做梦了，”贝西小姐曾经告诉我。 所以我读什么，贝西小姐告诉我，并试图记住的事情，她坚持要我远离。这可能是令人尴尬的准备时，贝西小姐说，“去告诉班上谁弗朗西丝帕金斯是什么，你想她。”四十五年后，我仍然能背诵她的“生活的真理”。 贝西小姐注意事虽与功课无关，但对孩子的成长是至关重要的。一次几个同学取笑我的破烂的旧大衣。当我离开学校，贝西小姐拍拍我的背，那件旧大衣的说，“卡尔，不要担心你所没有的。只是让大部分你所拥有的-大脑。” 没有一个孩子能得到所有必要的支持，在家里，和千百万穷苦的孩子没有在所有支持。这是什么使一个聪明的，受过教育的，热心的老师一样，贝西小姐如此重要的思想，心灵和灵魂的这个国家的儿童。 59。贝西小姐让他读了很多因为_______。 他的父母太穷买不起书 他不被允许到图书馆 C .白人的黑人不想读 她希望他有一个人生目标 60。下面哪一个是文章最好的标题？ 答：梦想与教育难忘的一课 C .难忘的贝西小姐D读书使人充实
