　　Question on Text B

　　Read the following passage once. Underline the key words while reading and retell the story to your partner.

　　Now I know why birds sit on telephone lines. They listen.

　　I am either nine or ten years old. At the orphanage they call me Miguel.

　　When I want to feel improtant, I say, "Call me Don Miguel. " I used to act important all the time because 1 felt I wasn't.

　　Back then, no one liked me very much because I didn't like other peo

　　But last year, I began to learn two important things: I was learning to see, not just look. And I was learning to listen, not just hear.

　　I used to lie in the dark and make up relatives that I didn't have. My favorite relative was a nice old man who spoke Spanish, like me.

　　One day a man came to see me. He said he was my uncle. "I don't have an uncle," I said.

　　"Now you do , " he said.

　　He was an old man who liked children. He had a boy once who went to Korea. His daughter moved to the City. He said the City can be a difficult place in which to live. He taught me how to see and listen. I don't know if he is my uncle or not; neither did he, but he came to see me often. I guess if you act like an uncle all the time, you are one.

　　I was not a good student before my uncle came along. He took me walking in the fields. At one point he spread his arms and said. "It is all here. "

　　"What?" I said.

　　"Everything you need to know," he replied.

　　At first it appeared to be nothing more than just a few trees. I thought I was nowhere. Then he had me close n-.y eyes. First I heard the breeze in the grass, then in the trees. I also heard a faraway train and a barking dog. For a while I heard nothing. I was almost scared. He said to listen harder.

　　I heard my heart beat.

　　beause I used to be so sad, I had almost forgotten that I had a heart.

　　Once I asked him who he was.

　　"An experiment , " he said.

　　"What kind of an experiment?" I said.

　　He grinned and said, "Nobody knows. Like you, there is no one in the world like me. So who is to say what I will be. "

　　One day in the field he showed me the way the breeze made the trees move. The rustling of the leaves made a sound that frightened a nearby bird. It flew away.

　　We watched the bird drop an acorn.

　　"The bird , " he said , "cari make a seed move. From that seed the oak can grow fifty feet tall. It will be a friend to those who want one. "
