Question

【題目】“Are you listening, Simon?” Simon’s teacher asked.

Simon smiled and shook his head. He hardly listened or tried hard in class. “I was talking to Susan,” he said lazily. “One of these days, if you listen, you’ll learn something.”Mrs. Jacobs said. She tried to make him listen to her every day, but he never stopped talking.

That evening, Simon started to feel a little bit sick. By his bedtime snack, his throat really hurt. He had ice cream and hot chocolate to make his throat feel better. The next morning, when he opened his mouth to say “Good morning”, nothing came out. Simon’s mother looked at him, “Honey, you’ve lost your voice.”

“Can I stay home?” He tried to ask, but words didn’t come out.

Instead, his mother said he was good enough to go to school, even if he couldn’t talk.When he got to school, he kept quiet all day long.

Simon sat in class, bored because he couldn’t talk. He watched them talk to each other. He decided to try to listen to his teacher.

You know what? It wasn’t that bad. He could do his homework that night. It gave him extra TV time and game time because his work was all done. The next day, even though his voice was coming back, he stayed quiet again. The third day, he could talk fine, but he didn’t. He listened and raised his hand to speak.

What a difference that day made!

本文主要內(nèi)容：西蒙平時不聽課，上課總是跟別人說話，不能完成作業(yè)，一個懶惰的學(xué)生。雅可布太太每天努力讓她聽課。一天，雅可布太太問：“西蒙，你在聽課嗎？”西蒙說沒有，和蘇珊說話呢。晚上，西蒙生病了，嗓子啞了，說不出話。他感到無聊，試著聽課。結(jié)果，沒那么糟。那天晚上他可以做作業(yè)。這給了他額外的電視時間和比賽時間，因為他的作業(yè)都做完了。從此，西蒙改變了，上課認(rèn)真聽課。
