To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasant voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.

Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he doesn’t sit still before his class; he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.

There are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s.

The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand(預先).What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience take an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand anything, they say so. The teacher can’t learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.

I have known many teachers who are fine actors in class but are unable to take part in a stage-play because they can’t keep strictly to what another has written.

I will never forget the very moment that caused me to leave my gift behind because I wanted the gift that my older sister Maria had.
My family was spending a week at the beach. One morning, Maria went to the beach early, but I stayed behind to finish a drawing of a seashell. After finishing the drawing, I walked to join Maria. She was a top gymnast (體操運動員). Her show was perfect as she wheeled along the beach. The beauty of that sight froze me, and I decided immediately that I too would become a gymnast like her.
I knew that I had never been very good at sports. However, when I told my parents I wanted to take a gymnastics class, they agreed with me in surprise. The next week, I went to a beginners’ class.
If only my parents had talked me out of this misguided plan! Five minutes into the first class, it was clear that I didn’t have the gift of a gymnast. But I kept at it.
During this time, drawing and painting—which had been my two favorites—all but left my mind. It must have been hurting for my family as they watched my hopeless efforts. I blindly decided to be like Maria. I just would not give up.
At the same time, on the advice of Ms. White, my art teacher, I hurriedly handed in my seashell drawing for an art contest in our town. One night as I was having a hard time practicing, the phone rang. It was Ms. White. “Alice, you won the contest!” she said loudly.
“Really?” was all I could reply.
“Yes,” Ms. White said. “They’re going to give you a prize. And that’s not all. The winner is also accepted into Wildale’s Summer Fine Arts Institute.” I couldn’t believe what I heard. Only a handful of young artists were accepted each summer.
That night I didn’t go back into the living room to continue practicing. Gymnastics was Maria’s gift, not mine. It had taken me a while, but I realized that I had a gift of my own.
【小題1】Alice wanted to be a gymnast because ________.

A．she had been good at sportsB．her sister’s show was perfect
C．she hated drawing and paintingD．her parents wanted her to do so
【小題2】 How did Alice feel about learning gymnastics at last?
A．Satisfied.B．Worried.C．HopefulD．Regretful.
【小題3】 From the story, we can infer that ________.
A．Alice’s parents disagreed with her choice of gymnastics
B．Alice did not realize her gift in drawing and painting at first
C．Alice spent a hard time preparing for the art contest in the town
D．Alice couldn’t believe the news that she got the prize for painting
【小題4】 What does the writer want to tell us according to the passage?
A．We should value our own gifts.B．It takes time to find one’s gifts.
C．We could develop different gifts.D．It’s never too late to show our gifts.

With more and more farmers working in big cities, their children go into the cities, too.However, problems appear. One of these problems is that is difficult for these children to receive education in cities.

Luckily, there are some free schools for them, but they are not enough. Ten-year-old Li Xin is one of the lucky girls who get a chance to study in one of these schools. She is very happy. She studies in a school specially for migrant workers’（外來務(wù)工人員的）children.

There are also some volunteers teachers,” he added.

Anyhow, we must try to give these children an equal（平等）chance to get better education so that we can make our society harmonious（和諧的）.

Children arc children after all, and most of them speak their mind. When they are just toddlers(幼兒), they are all lovely and lively. And it's so interesting to watch them speak like a grown-up. But as they grow, these same kids seem annoying and ill-mannered if they try to be a grown-up.

    Conflicts(矛盾）go between parents and children. It's hard to tell who are right and who are wrong. A child of 7-8 always finds some reasons to have a conflict with it's parents. Whether it is about some toy, studies, a party or a company, there is always a difference between them. And it becomes worse when they answer you back. Scientists tell us that children should be treated with care. Yes, sure they should respect their elders.

    We are partly responsible(有責任的）for this. At an early age we encourage children to behave like adults, just because we find it funny. The kids on the other hand consider this same behavior as normal and get used to it. And when it is not funny for us any more, we expect them to stop it, but by then it is already too late. Only when they reach a certain maturity will the children realize that answering back and being rude are not acceptable(可接受的).Until then, most of the time their behavior is difficult to change, unless by force(暴力）.And use of force is against the every good idea, as it weakens the child's confidence.

    So it is one thing to bring a child into this world but quite another to make them into well mannered citizens. The best way is to be a good example ourselves, as our children are the mirrors of us adults.

1._______are all lovely and lively.

    A. Children  B. Toddlers    C. Kids D. Grown-ups

2.There are many conflicts between  ______.

    A. fathers and mothers     B. parents and children

    C. parents and toddlers    D. parents and parents

3. The underlined word "maturity" means________.

    A.學期    B.階梯   C.知識      D.成熟

4.Which is acceptable according to the passage?

    A. Answering back  .    B. Being rude.

    C. Using force.         D. Respecting elders.

5.Which of the following is true?

    A. Children often copy what their parents do.

    B. Children can not change their behavior.

    C. Children's behavior develops in their own way.

    D. Children's behavior is not acceptable.

6.The writer wrote the passage__________.

    A. to show the importance of good examples

    B. to give examples on educating children

    C. to show the growth of children

    D. to show the behavior of children
