6．"To survive around here，you've got to be tough as nails．Show them who's the boss right from the start．"These words from my teacher stayed with me through my student teaching，but I couldn't seem to put them to use．
With my student teaching behind me，I started out at a school in another part of town and was determined not to face another classroom where I didn't have control．Day one I read my new fourth grade the longest list of rules they'd ever heard．I was the teacher．I was running the show．It was the students'job to sit still，listen，and do as they were told．Much to my surprise，they did just that．Three days went by．Two weeks passed．I was in control．
By the end of September the headmaster was noticing the straight line we maintained while walking．My colleagues praised the class for getting drinks so quietly．Visitors smiled at the straight rows of hard-working，orderly students．I was pleased．
I might have felt even more successful if I hadn't felt I was burning out fast．I found myself being angry with my students，who just sat there，not fully appreciating everything I was doing for them．
I shared my frustration with Mr．Greg，who invited me to observe one of his classes．I didn't want to like his class，and at first I didn't have to．My first impression was of loud voices and of students moving around the room at will．However，the longer I stayed，the more I was amazed．Mr．Greg wasn't being"tough as nails，"and yet this wasn't really chaos（混亂） at all．Students were discussing ideas for their own writing with each other．They didn't seem to need controlling---they were controlling themselves．
"How did you get this to work？"I asked Mr．Greg later that day．"If I gave my kids a time like this，half of them would just sit there and do nothing．"
"It doesn't always work，"he said，"but most kids will cooperate if you give them enough responsibility and enough freedom．"
I thought about that long and hard．I thought I had learned that giving a class freedom could only lead to trouble．Responsibility？My students have plenty of that：they were responsible for turning in their homework and for keeping their desks in order．I certainly agreed with Greg about responsibility．
It took me a while to catch on，but the seeds had been planted．The next week I put Shelley in charge of the weekly report．Matt was asked to bring in some articles for Friday social studies．Francis was glad to take pictures for the class scrapbook（剪貼薄）．Slowly，I realized everyone could participate with a little guidance．
I was catching on to the fact that what was true for me was also true for my students：I worked hard when I felt in control of the situation．And so did they．In a classroom where the teacher did everything，it was only natural that the students stopped working hard．
It didn't happen overnight．But the classroom gradually became a happier place for all of us．I wasn't as tired because I wasn't the only one working．My students---most of them，at least---were working much harder．And they were enjoying it．
Four years later I'm still learning．I still want to run the show．It's often more difficult for me to relax，sit back，and watch a student take charge than to bear the entire responsibility myself．I have to remind myself that the order，the control，when it eventually does come，will be a whole lot easier to live with，easier and happier for all of us．

分析 文章講述在學(xué)校如何掌控學(xué)生．
解答 65～70 BDCACB
65 B 細節(jié)理解題．由第一段中的"…but I couldn't seem to put them to use．"幾第二段中的"…was determined not to face another classroom where I didn't have control．"可知，作者無法控制自己的學(xué)生，B項正確．
66 D 推理判斷題．作者兩個星期就掌控了一個新班級，且同事們都因作者班級學(xué)生的表現(xiàn)而稱贊他們，作者非常的開心和滿意；但是作者覺得自己特別費精力，而且當學(xué)生為作者所做的事情不為所動時，作者非常生氣，覺得很沮喪、苦惱，故D項正確．67 C 細節(jié)理解題．由第五段中的"Students were discussing ideas for their own writing with each other．They didn't seem to need controlling---they were controlling themselves．"可知，學(xué)生在他的課堂上可以自己作主，不需要別人控制，故選C．
68 A 推理判斷題．Mr．Greg告訴作者要給學(xué)生足夠的責(zé)任，當作者掌控班級時，作者自己做了所有的事情，很自然學(xué)生就不會努力學(xué)習(xí)，由此可知，作者認為由于學(xué)生缺乏責(zé)任，所有才沒有努力學(xué)習(xí)，故選A．
69 C 段落大意題．文章最后一段講的是四年后，作者仍在學(xué)習(xí)，想知道如何掌控學(xué)生，故C項正確．
70 B 標題歸納題．作者通過講述自己的課堂教學(xué)和同事的課堂教學(xué)介紹了兩種課堂秩序：一種是老師掌控，一種是學(xué)生自己掌控，由此可知，B項作為文章標題最合適．
點評 學(xué)生需要認真閱讀原文，把握文章大意，對文章脈絡(luò)有整體的了解，能仔細查找文中細節(jié)，并能根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容進行合理的推測判斷．
