My First Day of School Fear started taking over,I was walking into my first school in America.I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents,who had been here for three years,hoping America would help my future.My father decided that I would be better off going to school here,so I enrolled(登記)in the local high school in my new town.
I was afraid how I would do.On the first day,I went to my second period class after I had missed my first.With anxiety,I reached for the door,opening it slowly.Without paying attention to my classmates,I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class.With a soft voice he answered. "Yes." His voice comforted me a little.He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements,which I would never get in India because we didn't have anything like that.Then he asked me to choose where I would sit.I didn't actually want to pick a seat.In India we had fixed seats,so I never needed to worry about that.I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector.In Indian schools,we didn't use the technology we had.We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.
It was noon.I was very confused about when I would have lunch.I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered.I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class.She said, "It's still fourth period."
"But the bell just rang," I said.
Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one,she said,"That is the lunch bell,young man."
I apologized.Without another word I headed for the cafeteria.I felt lucky because we didn't have this in India.Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal.At the end of the day,I was on my way to the bus which we didn't have in India either.I spotted my bus and sat down inside happily.I was thinking,today wasn't too bad.

3.The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd.When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949,I was a nine-year-old war refugee,who had lost my mother and was coming to live with the father I did not know.My mother,Eleni Gatzoyiannis,had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom.
I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High.Shortly after I arrived,I was told to select a hobby to pursue during "club hours." The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears,but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class.She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd,the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.
A tough woman with salt-and pepper hair and determined eyes,Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones.She drilled us in grammar,assigned stories for us to read and discuss,and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper.Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland,making me proud of my origins.Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language.Owing to her inspiration,during my next twenty-five years,I became a journalist by profession.
Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62.By then,she had taught for a total of 41 years.Even after her retirement,she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential.The students were mainly from the most troubled homes,yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love,until the spark caught fire.
Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing.But for Miss Hurd,I wouldn't have become a reporter.She was the one who sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.

A.Stepping on the American soil for the first time.
B.Being exposed to Greek literary works.
C.Her mother's miserable death.
D.Following the prettiest girl in his class.
(3)It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that
A.Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students.
B.Miss Hurd's contribution was recognized across the nation.
C.Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd's teaching style.
