问题         "You look like you’ve had a toothache for the last six weeks, "said Nancy. "Are you OK?" "Oh, sure. I’m just tired," I lied, unwilling to admit that my becoming a teacher was a mistake and that I doubted whether I would last that first year. Making it to November looked uncertain.
        During the job interview, I impressed the principal and the English supervisor with confidence enthusiasm——even when they explained that the students assigned to me would be difficult, and the program lacked books. The supervisor promised, " Don’ t worry. I’ll mentor you well work together".
        On the eve of my first day, my mentor handed me a box of old books and said," you might find something useful here. Dorothy, I’m sorry. I’ve accepted another job. I won’ t be here to help you." She headed to her office to pack, leaving me surprised.
        But day one shook me, teachers say the first weeks are easy, with students eager to make a good impression. My students’ glazed eyes, angry faces, and rude responses hinted we would have no honeymoon. Still, I believed my positive attitude would carry me. But it held no sway (控制) over kids biding their time until they could quit school forever, I shopped for motivational strategies and educated myself on teaching at risk children. But the struggles only increased. Within two weeks, a lump in my throat.
        One Sunday, I was reading the following words, "The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry. So there was food everyday for everyone." In those words, I found a sign that translated into "Don’t worry. You’ll make it until June."
        At school the kids and the job did not change that much. But I did, as faced each day with confidence. Nancy even noticed that I was smiling again several weeks later, the principal stopped to say, "I am impressed. Yesterday, I stood outside your door. I never saw a teacher get as much out of those kids as you did."
        "Thank you, sir. "I answered. I know I have the power to change myself and complete my teaching and become a better teacher in the process.
When the mentor left, Dorothy___________.

选项 A、lost heart for lack of help
