Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　Words：335　难度系数：　建议用时：6分钟The other day at lunch I was part of a whole group of colleagues and we were talking behind our boss’s back.She’s the new principal (校长) of our middle school.

　　We talked about how kind she is to us.She writes notes to wish us happy holidays，or to thank us for jobs well done.She checks on us when she knows we’re facing difficulties outside of school with our health or with our families.

　　All too often，when we talk nice behind someone’s back，they never know about it！I sent her a quick email to report the conversation.She replied saying how much she appreciated hearing about it.When I overheard (偷听) conversations about the retirement of our principal，I thought she should know how we felt.So I made sure she did.Cards and emails are great，but maybe it’s just extra heartwarming to know that kind words are being said even “behind your back”．

　　I like to do the same for my students.Of course I give them my own compliments (恭维)，but I love to let them know when other adults have noticed their good behavior and attitudes.Then it’s absolutely necessary to let them know it too！It matters when what they notice is good.

　　I’ve known from the other side how much this can mean.I often lack confidence in my own abilities as a teacher，so it gave me quite a lift when a friend who works with families in the community mentioned that he has heard several times from parents how glad they are to have their kids in my class.It just feels more important somehow to have the words said by people who don’t know I’ll ever hear them.
