In my long years of teaching, I often ask my students to read the texts until they can recite them, and I tell them that recitation is an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears in a test paper.
In my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless?
Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. This is true, but you don’t need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. Sure you don’t remember your Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspaper. So, recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability.

Many years ago my student asked me the question, “Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?” Without taking time to reflect, I answered ,“Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone’s life.” Even though I was sincere, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it slide.
“Let me get this straight,” he said, “You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?” He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.
Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:
It’s in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输)in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.
Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples(波纹) go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have ripples without a “stone.” Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that’s what I strive to do.
I genuinely love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too. Teaching isn’t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.
1. Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?
A.Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.
B.Because the writer was insincere.
C.Because the student was naughty.
D.Because the answer was difficult to understand.
2. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?
A.The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her.
B.The writer’s answer made the student confused.
C.In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.
D.The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.
3. We can infer from the text that________.
A.the writer was also a good teacher in school
B.the writer often plays with her students beside a pond
C.the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students
D.the writer often accompanies the students on their way home.

I used to teach 7th grade boys. I often got comments of sympathy, but I loved those young students. When I first started teaching them, I soon realized I need to bring forth some new ideas to keep their attention, so I came up with the idea of doing object lessons. And one of my favourite lessons with them was the "Chocolate Cake Course".
I took a covered cake carrier one day saying, " I want you to have some chocolate cakes this morning." Then, I handed out a cup of cocoa powder, a bowl of eggs, and container with flour, oil, sugar and all the other ingredients to each boy. They looked at me in puzzlement and disappointment. I smiled as I told them, "I know it doesn't look like a chocolate cake now, but without adding all those ingredients, you won't end up with a delicious chocolate cake."
We discussed the way the ingredients were put in a bowl and then beaten by a mixer. We talked about how the batter(糊状物) was put into pans and placed in a hot oven. Then I shared with them how the process mirrors our lives. Sometimes there were sweet times, like the sugar that went into the cake. Sometimes there were bitter times, like the cocoa when eaten alone. And sometimes there were hard times when we felt as if we were being beaten like the batter. Finally, we talked about how it was necessary for the cake batter to go into a hot oven. Sometimes we felt the heat of hot oven as if we were going through some hard circumstances. Just like I need to have a plan for that chocolate cake, we need to know exactly what ingredients to put into our lives and how long we need to stay in the oven of hard times so that we could become stronger and get the sweetness from life. Looking at their faces throughout the room, I could tell the boys had got it, especially when I showed a chocolate cake for them to share.
1.What is the writer's new idea as a teacher ?
A. Teaching children history.
B. Doing object lessons.
C. Going fishing with children.
D. Sharing chocolate cakes in class.
2.How did the writer know the students understood her lessons?
A. From the students' answers.
B. From the students' expressions.
C. According to what the students did.
D. According to the students' comments.
3.Which of the following can describe the teacher properly?
A. Kind, helpful and good﹣tempered.
B. Active, diligent and sympathetic.
C. Positive, good﹣looking and thoughtful.
D. Caring, creative and respectable.
4.The writer not only taught the students how to make cakes but also .
A. told them the truth of life
B. taught them good discipline
C. stressed the importance of work
D. spread culture knowledge

I was in my third year of teaching creative writing at a high school in New York, when one of my students, 15-year-old Mikey, gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence from class the day before.
I had seen Mikey himself writing the note at his desk. Most parental-excuse notes(请假条) I received were penned by my students. If I were to deal with them, I’d be busy 24 hours a day.
The forged excuse notes made a large pile, with writing that ranged from imaginative to crazy. The writers of those notes didn't realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull: “Peter was late because the alarm clock didn’t go off.”
Isn’t it remarkable, I thought, how the students complained and said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject? But when they produced excuse notes, they were brilliant.
So one day I typed out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes. I said, “They’re supposed to be written by parents, but actually they are not. True, Mikey?” The students looked at me nervously.
“Now, this will be the first class to study the art of the excuse note---the first class, ever, to practice writing them. You’re so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subject worthy of study.”
Everyone smiled as I went on, “You used your imaginations. So try more now. Today I’d like you to write ‘An Excuse Note from Adam to God’ or ‘An Excuse Note from Eve to God’.” Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. For the first time ever I saw students so careful in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.
The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. The headmaster entered the classroom and walked up and down, looking at papers, and then said, “I’d like you to see me in my office.”
When I stepped into his office, he came to shake my hand and said, “I just want to tell you that that lesson, that task, whatever the hell you were doing, was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you.”
1.What did the author do with the students found dishonest?
A.He reported them to the headmaster.
B.He lectured(训诫)them hard on honesty.
C.He had them take notes before lunch.
D.He helped improve their writing skills.
2.The underlined word “forged” in the third paragraph means .
A.former B.copied
C.false D.honest
3.The author found that compared with the true excuse notes, the produced ones by the students were usually .
A.less imaginative B.more impressive
C.loss lively D.more serious
4.The author had the students practice writing excuse notes so that students could learn .
A.the importance of being honest B.how to write excuse notes skillfully
