My wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didn’t know.How wrong we were!Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of“nameless”people have changed our opinions.

Before the bus takes off,we all join in a conversation:Where’s the silent woman who sits up front and never responds to our cheery greetings?Here she comes.Her worn clothing suggests she doesn’t have much money to spare,but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.

We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand.When they get off,they’re still holding hands.The woman was pregnant late last year,and one day her change of shape confirmed that she’d delivered the child.We even felt a little pride at the thought of our extended family.

For many months,our only sadness lay in our inability to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus.Then,one evening,we went to a fish restaurant.We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone.It was the woman from the bus.

We greeted her with friendly familiarity we’d shown all the year,but this time her face softened,then a shy smile.When she spoke,the words escaped awkwardly from her lips.All at once we realized why she hadn’t spoken to us before.Talking was hard for her.

Over dinner,we learned the stay of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home.She missed him desperately,she explained.

“I love him...and he loves me,even though he doesn’t express it very well,”she murmured.“Lots of us have that problem,don’t we?We don’t say what we want to say,what we should be saying.And that’s not good enough.”

The candles flared on our tables.Our fish had never tasted better.But the atmosphere grew pleasant,and when we parted as friends—we shared names.

I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you.I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year.

Now,I’ve given a lot of speeches about education.And I’ve talked about responsibility a lot. I’ve talked about teachers’responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.I’vetalked about your parents’responsibility for making sure you stay on track,and you get your homework done,and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.I’ve talked a lot about your government’s responsibility for setting high standards,and supporting teachers and principals,and turning around schools that aren’t working,where students aren’t getting the opportunities that they deserve.But at the end of the day,we can have the most knowledgeable teachers,the most supportive parents,the best schools in the world—and none of it will make a difference unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities,unless you show up to those schools,unless you pay attention to those teachers,unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.That’s what I want to focus on today:the responsibility each of you has for your education.

I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.Every single one of you has something that you’re good at.Every single one of you has something to offer.And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.That’s the opportunity an education can provide.

Maybe you could be a great writer—maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper,but you might not know it until you write that English paper.Maybe you could be an inventor—maybe even good enough to come up with the next iphone or the new medicine,but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class.Maybe you could be a mayor—but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.

()11.What type of writing is the passage?

()12.Which job is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.Lawyer.B.Writer.C.Inventor.D.Mayor.

He went up slowly and stopped from time to time.I followed him a few steps behind.When he got to the first corner of the bell tower,I came c_4_to him.“Excuse me,”I said as politely as I could,“but I wonder why you came up.”“You’d never g_5_,”he said.

“Tell me,then,”he smiled,“Perhaps climbing up the tower.You have n_6_—and yet, not being blind,perhaps you won’t—how the sun shines into the tower through the windows,so that one can feel the cool steps suddenly become quite w_7_,even in winter.But behind the wall there is shade.There is no place so good as this for f_8_the difference between light and darkness.Though I’m blind,I also want to feel the happiness brought by the sunlight.”He said and seemed as p_9_as a child.

We went down the tower t_10_.From then on,I began to treasure what life has given me.
