阅读理解

　　In 1995 I return to Miami Beach High School to speak to the drama(戏剧)class．Afterward I ask the drama teacher if any of my English teachers is still there．“Irene Roberts ”he tells me “is in class just down the hall．”

　　I was no one special in Miss Roberts’ class．I don’t remember any one special bit of wisdom she passed on．Yet I cannot forget her respect for language for ideas and for her students．I realize now many years later that she is a selfless teacher．I’d like to say something to her but I don’t want to pull her from a class．

　　The drama teacher brings Miss Roberts into the hallway where stands this 32-year-old man she last saw at 18．“I’m Mark Medoff ”I tell her．“You were my 12th grade English teacher in 1981．”She raises her head as if this angle(角度)might bring back her memory．And then though armed with a message I want to deliver in some perfect words I can’t think up anything more memorable than this “I want you to know ”I say “you were important to me．”

　　And there in the hallway this slight and lovely woman now nearing a retirement age this teacher who doesn’t remember me begins to weep; she holds me in her arms．

　　Remembering this moment I began to sense that everything I will ever know everything I will ever pass on to my students to my children is an inseparable part of a treasure of our shared wonder and hope that we can must make ourselves better．

　　Irene Roberts holds me in her arms and through her tears whispers against my cheek “Thank you．”And then with a quick look into my forgotten face she disappears back into her classroom returns to what she has done thousands of days through all the years of my absence．

　　 On reflection maybe those were after all just the right words to say to Irene Roberts．Maybe they are the very words I would like to speak to all those teachers I carry through my life as part of me the very words I would like spoken to me one day by some returning student：“I want you to know you were important to me．”
