Having taught in the US for 17 years, I have no doubt about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.I was shocked when the monitor shouted, stand up! The entire class rose as I entered the room and I was somewhat confused about how to get them to sit down again, but once the embarrassment(尷尬) was over, I quickly regained my calmness and admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a strong sense of achievement.My students kept diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary .said, Our literature teacher didnt teach us anything today. Perhaps her next lecture will be better. Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a similar theme. Didnt I teach them anything? I described the entire Western philosophy(哲學) and laid the historical background for all the works we will study in class. I complained. How should they say I didnt teach them anything?It was a long term, and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teachers job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions. My students thought a teachers job was to provide exact information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!However, I also learned a lot, and the experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.56.

DOLPHINSCFear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used. If fire didnt hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didnt, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldier is not a good .soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your hour, and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.63. Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt away if _.A. they were not well educated at schoolB. they had never played with fire beforeC. they had no sense of painD. they were fearful of pain64. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because _.A. they have gained experienceB. they are warned of the danger and are able to take quick actionC. they jump out of the way in timeD. they are calm in face of danger65. Whats implied but not stated in the passage?A. Too much fear is harmful.B. Fear is always something helpful.C. Fear is something that can be avoided.D. Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life.66. The best title for this passage should be _.A. No Pains, No Gains B. Pain and ActionsC. The Value of fear D. The Reason Why People FearDYouve probably heard of the butterfly effect that small changes in one place can lead to massive damage elsewhere. The Toy Story II, Made-in-China, appearing on the internet, TV screens and front pages of newspapers worldwide since August, was a live show. Chinas reputation as the worlds factory was badly damaged this summer by a small, but powerful magnet(磁鐵), and colorful paints on toys.Mattel, the worlds largest toy company in the US, on August 14 announced the biggest recall (召回) of toys in its history. Among the recalled products were 17.4 million toys that had a design problem. They contained a small, powerful magnet that could harm children if it was
