(2017·福州高三检测)My teacher，Mr.August J．Bachmann，was the most influential

teacher I ever had.

I had gotten into trouble in his class：Another student had pushed me for fun，and I became angry and began to hit him.Mr.Bachmann stopped the fight，but instead

of sending me to the office，he sat me down and asked a simple question，“Penna，why are you wasting your life？Why aren't you going to college？”

I didn't know anything about colleges or scholarships.No one had ever considered

that a fatherless boy from the poorest neighborhood had a future.That day，instead

of rushing off for lunch，he stayed and explained possible education options to me.At

the end of our talk，he sent me to see a secretary who had a child at a state

college.This was in 1962 at Emerson High School in Union City，New Jersey.

Well，53 years have passed，and what have I done with the knowledge he gave me？I gained a PhD from Fordham University when I was only 29.I taught English and social

studies and then moved up the chain of command from teacher to principal(校长)．

I've sat on the board for Magnet Schools of America and represented that

organization at the United Nations.I've won a number of great educational

awards.But where would I be if a truly caring teacher had not taken the time out

of his lunch period to speak to me？It was without question only his confidence in

me that helped me forward.

I have repaid his kindness hundreds of times by encouraging misguided youngsters

to aim higher.If I have saved any children，it is because of him.If I have been a

successful educator，it is because I had a great role model in Mr.Bachmann.

(2017·石家庄高三调研)All hotels are restored periodically.However，few do it

as frequently as Sweden's Icehotel.Located in a remote village of Sweden，the hotel

is constructed entirely from ice and therefore，has to be rebuilt annually.

The 26­year­old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an

art exhibition to attract winter visitors.Among the tourists was an adventurous

group that announced their intention of spending the night in the building where

the exhibition was being held.That's when the idea of building the icy accommodations

occurred to the locals.

Each year，the preparations begin in March and the construction starts in

November.Within eight to twelve weeks，Icehotel is ready to welcome its first

visitors until mid­April.After that，the beautiful structure will slowly melt into one giant pool.

Among this year's unique suite (套房) offerings is the “Elephant in the

Room”．It features a 3­metre tall sculpted elephant overlooking an ice­framed

bed.For those seeking something more cutting­edge，there are ones themed after a

Swedish horror film and local fairy tales.To get a good night's rest，guests have

to snuggle inside their sleeping bags with gloves and hats on.Though that seems a

little uncomfortable，visitors say it is an experience like none other.

The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples

will get married this year and an ice bar that will serve drinks in glasses carved

from ice.Though dining options are limited to the hotel's only restaurant，guests

will have little to complain about with Michelin­trained chef Alexander Meier in

charge.To keep customers entertained，the hotel offers a lot of fun activities like

snowshoeing，dog sledding，and even overnight wilderness camping.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了瑞典一家特殊的冰雕宾馆。

5．What makes Icehotel special?

A．It is located in a remote village.

B．It holds an art exhibition annually.
