4、he Most Unforgettable Character I've Met I remember vividly that first English class in the last term of high school。 We boys (there were no girls in the school) were waiting expectantly for the new teacher to appear。 Before long, through the door came in a tall, unimpressivelooking man of about
5、 40。 He said shyly, “Good afternoon, gentlemen.” His voice had a surprising tone of respect, almost as if he were addressing the Supreme Court instead of a group of youngsters。 He wrote his name on the blackboard Wilmer T。 Stone then sat on the front of his desk, drew one long leg up and grasped his

10、soand-so。” When we shook our heads, he would write the title of a book on the blackboard, then turn to us. “There are some books like this one I almost wish I had never read。 Many doors to pleasure are closed to me now, but they are all open for you!"The end of the term came much too soon。 The
11、morning before graduation day the class suddenly and spontaneously decided to give Mr. Stone a literary send-off that afternoon - a goodbye party withm poems and songs for the occasion. That afternoon when Mr。 Stone walked slowly into Room 318 we made him take a seat in the first row。 One of the boy
12、s, sitting in the teacher's chair, started off with a poem called “Farewell”; the rest of us were grouped around him。 Mr。 Stone sat tightlipped, until toward the end when he slowly turned to the right and then to the left, looking at each of us in turn as if he wanted to register the picture on
13、his mind。 When we got to the last chorus of the parody, we saw tears rolling down Mr。 Stone's high cheekbones。 He got up and pulled out a handkerchief and blew his nose and wiped his face. “Boys,” he began, and no one even noticed that he wasnt calling us “men" any more, “we're not very
