I was at Kendriya Vidyalaya in Bambolim, Goa, in the 1980s. On Inspection Day one year, an officer and his team from the Board of Education were coming to see how our school was run. As usual, our teachers asked us to be prepared.
At the end of the day, Mrs Sushila Tyagi, our Hindi(印地语)and Sanskrit teacher, walked in and told us that the inspector had come and quietly observed the class from the back door. He had also left an adverse remark! That was sad for us. Would we now be punished for having failed our teachers? There were no answers from Mrs Tyagi. Instead, she wrote the Hindi word “dukh” on the blackboard. And then she did something I have never seen a teacher do in my entire school life. She apologized. “I am sorry for having taught you something wrong,” she said.“ There should be dots between the letters ‘du’ and ‘kh’. I hope you will not make this mistake in future. The inspector told me this in the staffroom and I realized that I used to miss out the dots as I wrote fast.”
That admission had a significant effect on me. If our teacher can say sorry to us when she is wrong then why can’t we? This incident helped me get rid of two common vices(恶习)— ego(自负)and dishonesty.
Twenty-three years passed. I had to let my teacher know what that lesson meant to me. I recently located Mrs Sushila Tyagi using the Internet. She was still a teacher and living in Ghaziabad with her family. I went to meet her with my husband.
She smiled when she heard my story of how her small, decades-old apology had transformed me for good. “It is tough being a teacher,” she said, “But every once in a while, when an old student comes along and tells us that we did something right, it makes up for everything else.” 24.The underlined word “adverse” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”. A. offensive

D. unforgettable

B. Comfort is better than pride. D. It is better to be safe than sorry.
27.The author’s words during the visit made Mrs Tyagi feel . A. guilty
B. contented C. surprised D. embarrassed

Austrian Felix Baumgartner—a pilot, skydiver and high-altitude jumper with the nickname “Fearless Felix”—has jumped from some of the world’s tallest bridges and buildings. But on October 14 , he made the jump of his lifetime from a space capsule 128,100 feet (about 24 miles) above ground, a world record-breaking height.
Baumgartner, 42 ,also broke the record for fastest jump by reaching speeds up to 833.9 miles per hour during his free fall back down to Earth. For comparison, an average Boeing 737 airliner flies at 40,000 feet at 600 miles per hour. At a press conference following the event, Baumgartner
said the experience was humbling and harder than he expected. “Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you are,” Baumgartner said.
Baumgartner and a team of scientists, engineers and doctors spent five years preparing and training for the project, called Red Bull Stratos after the project’s sponsor. For the space jump, Baumgartner wore a specially designed space suit and was carried up to his jump point by a large helium balloon from inside the Red Bull Stratos space capsule.
Even with careful planning, the mission had some obstacles. The jump was first scheduled for October 8, but it was postponed several times over the week because of weather conditions. Baumgartner finally began the ascent(攀登)from Roswell, New Mexico, on Sunday, October 14. But on the way up, Baumgartner’s faceplate began to fog up, making it hard for him to see. The team considered aborting the mission, but Baumgartner was able to fix the problem.
After a smooth initial jump, Baumgartner began to spin out of control while still in the stratosphere(平流层), but he eventually steadied himself. After four minutes and 20 seconds of free fall—with about a mile left to go in the jump—Baumgartner released his parachute and landed safely in the desert of New Mexico. From Earth, eight million people watched the space jump event live over a YouTube stream.
