Unit 3 Under the sea (建议用时：30分钟) 阅读理解 A (2019·福建高三质量检查)When was the last time you told someone he inspired you to go to work each morning? Teachers at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri, did just that this September, when they pulled individual students out of classes to tell them just how much they appreciated them. The students’ reactions, which were captured(捕捉) on video and shared on YouTube, a now viral video website, ranged from shy thanks to hugs and tears. “I have been challenged to find a student who makes me want to come to school every day, ” said one teacher in the video, “and that’s you．” Jamie McSparin, a teacher in charge of the school’s academy program for at?risk sophomores(二年级学生) and juniors, posed the challenge, writes ABC News. “Initially when we pulled the kids out, they all thought they were in trouble, ”McSparin told ABC News．“Any teacher?student interaction always seems to be negative(消极的)，and that was something that bothered me too．No matter if they’re good kids or troublemakers or anything, they always thought they were in trouble, ” she said. McSparin said she got the idea for the project after attending a professional development workshop this summer called “the power of positivity”. “I like the idea of letting students know they are appreciated, because we do appreciate them．I just don’t think we say it enough, ” she told local news outlet WDAF?TV. It’s safe to say the challenge was effective. “I feel special, ” said one of the boys in the video．“You should, ” said his teacher．“You are special．” 【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了美国一所高中的老师发起一项挑战，将学生单独拉到教室外，向他们表达感激之情的故事。 1．What does the underlined word “posed” in Paragraph 5 mean?
