It was my first full-time job as a teacher in a high school in Riverside,California.The Department Chair told me that I would teach a class Introduction to Writing,a freshman course.I felt very confident.
It was my first class.When I entered the classroom,I was surprised.Freshmen?These kids looked too tall and mature (成熟的) to be freshmen!I still didn't have a class list of names,so I started by talking with them and asking questions.They took notes and everything was fine until I noticed a tall boy eating a piece of cake.Rule 1,clearly written on the board was"NO FOOD OR DRINK IN CLASS".I got a little mad and asked him to read the rule out aloud.He did so and he got mad too!
I asked him,"Did you understand what you read?"This made him even madder.
"Yes,I did."
"Well,then,what were you doing just now?"
We were both getting madder and madder.
"I was eating a piece of cake."He took another bite (咬) and looked at me angrily.
"Well,get up,go outside and throw the cake away."
And then both of us made a mistake.He said,"Here,I don't even want it."Then he handed it to me.He put the piece of cake on my hand.The icing of the cake went between my fingers,making a real mess.He was very tall,but he was sitting in a chair and I was standing next to him,mad and angry.I hit the cake on his hair!
The class started laughing and clapping.Somebody got up,went to the board and wrote"Teacher-1;Mark-0".I didn't know whether I was supposed to laugh or not,but I couldn't help it.And then,Mark got up and left.
The story was all over the school by the next period.Some students came to me and said,"l heard that terrible things will happen if somebody tries to eat cake in your class!"Oh,how embarrassing!
Now I still teach,but I'm much better at dealing with students.

1.For several days Ⅰ(Jane Eyre) saw little of Mr.Rochester.One evening,I was invited to talk to him after dinner.There was a smile on his lips,and his eyes were shining brightly.As I was looking at him,he suddenly turned around and asked me, "Do you think I'm handsome,Miss Eyre?"
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: "No,sir."
"Ah,you are really unusual!You look like a quiet,serious little person,but you can be almost rude."
"Sir,I'm sorry.I shouldn't have given an immediate answer to such a question about appearances;I should have said that beauty doesn't matter,or something like that."
"No,you shouldn't!I see,you criticize my appearance,and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear!You have honesty and feeling.There are not many girls like you.Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance(抵消) your few good points."
I thought to myself that he might have too.He seemed to read my mind,and said quickly, "Yes,you're right.I have plenty of faults.I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one,and have never found the right path again.I might have been as good as you,and perhaps wiser.I am not a bad man,take my word for it,but I have done wrong.It wasn't my character,but circumstances that were to blame.Why do I tell you all this?Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to,because you're sympathetic and you give them hope."
"Don't be afraid of me,Miss Eyre," he continued." You don't relax or laugh very much,perhaps because of the effect Lowood has had on you.But in time you will be more natural when you're with me,and laugh,and speak freely.You're like a bird in a cage.When you get out of the cage,you'll fly very high.Good night."
(1)Why did Mr.Rochester say "and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear" in paragraph 5?
A.Because Jane had offered some unnecessary explanations.
B.Because Jane had intended to be more critical.
C.Because Jane had regretted having talked to him.
D.Because Jane had intended to kill him with a knife.
(2)From what Mr.Rochester told Miss Eyre,we can conclude that he wanted to

C.change her opinion of him

(3)Mr.Rochester sounded

2.To me,life without music would not be exciting.I realize that this is not true for everybody.Many people get along quite well without going to the concert,and listening to the record.But music plays an important part in everyone's life,whether he realizes it or not.Try to imagine,for example,what films or TV plays would be like without music.Would the feelings,the moving plot,and the greatest interests,be so exciting or dramatic?I'm not sure about it.
Now,we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning----the kind of music we hear in the concert hall.But if we look at some parts of music more closely,we discover them in our everyday life too----in the rhythm of the sea,the melody of a bird in the woods and so on.So music surely has meaning for everyone,in some way or other.And,of course,it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said, "Through music a child enters into a world of beauty,expresses himself from his heart,feels the joy of doing things alone,learns to take care of others,develops his mind and makes his body strong."
(1)What does the writer say more about in the text?
A.Life full of music.
B.The importance of music.
C.Life without music.
D.The development of music.
(2)From the text,we learn that many people
A.go to the concert instead of enjoying music
B.get along quite well without music
C.don't realize the importance of music
D.think music would be less exciting than films
(3)What does the underlined word "melody" mean in the text?
A.flying
B.living
C.looking
D.singing
(4)From the last paragraph,we learn that music
A.is very necessary for our everyday life
B.is very important,especially for children
C.can make our life exciting and dramatic
D.can enter another beautiful world發(fā)布:2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷:6引用:3難度:0.6 -
