I arrived in the classroom,ready to share my knowledge and experience with 76 students who would be my English literature class.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 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 didn’t teach us anything today.Perhaps her next lecture will be better.”Greatly surprised,I read diary after diary,each expressing a similar theme.“Didn’t I teach them anything?I described the entire Western philosophy (哲学) and laid the historical background for all the works we will study in class,”I complained.“How should they say I didn’t 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 teacher’s job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions.My students thought a teacher’s 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.
1.The writer wants to tell us through his experience that ________.
A.Chinese students are hard to teach
B.he has no experience in teaching Chinese students
C.Chinese students has made him a better American teacher
D.different countries have different cultures even in teaching
2.We can know that on the first day the writer ________.
A.was disappointed at her students’ performance B.felt very confident about herself at first
C.felt she didn’t teach them much D.was very confident about her students
3.At the beginning of the lesson,the writer got confused because of ________.
A.cultural differences B.her own embarrassment
C.students’ embarrassment D.students’ admiration
4.The writer learnt from their diaries that the students wanted to ________.
A.raise interesting questions B.know more about background
C.draw their own conclusions D.know more about exact facts

Recently, a scientist did some experiments. He left a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a candy. If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the candy. If, however, they didn’t ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two candies.
In the videos of the experiments, he can see the children hiding their eyes, trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two candies. The results are different. Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted 15 minutes.
The children who waited longer went on to get higher academic scores. They got into better colleges and had better adult success. The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to have received worse teacher and parental evaluations (评价) 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.
The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, and how to become rich. But when the result is not good, they will come back to ask “How do we get people to get the sort of self-control that leads to success?” This is to enter the world of human nature.
So these experiments, along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is most important. Young people who can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language well. They can avoid drugs and alcohol. For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of failed and painful experience. No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas, such as drug use, stealing and so on.
1.The scientist did some experiments to ________.
A.find good ways of training children to learn
B.show that children’s education is important
C.test children’s self-control and later success
D.test children’s intelligence of ringing the bell
2.What do the underlined words “broke down” probably mean?
A.failed to wait. B.kept waiting.
C.hid the candy. D.ate the candy.
3.How long did the scientist’s experiments last according to the text?
A.Just 15 minutes. B.Within 10 years.
C.Less than 14 years. D.About 28 years.
4.What will the children without self-control do at school according to the text?
A.They will improve their education.
B.They will suffer a lot from boring lessons.
C.They will become very rich and successful.
D.They will work hard to catch up with others.
