My Teacher
I haven't seen Mr Jenkins since I left school, but I often think about① him.I wasn't very good at② most school subjects before I met Mr Jenkins.I suppose I was a bit lazy, especially in maths.The only thing I can remember from school maths is that the angles of a triangle add up to③ 180 degrees! But when I was 15 and went into Mr Jenkins' class, I really became interested in④ a subject for the first time⑤.
Before Mr Jenkins taught me, science had simply been a subject full of⑥ strange words to me.I had no idea what hydrogen was, and I didn't really want to know, either! I found it all so boring and difficult.(1)But Mr Jenkins made everything interesting.He used to⑦ explain things which seemed difficult with lots of practical⑧ examples and in simple language.One day, he took us outside, and we built a rocket! I remember that he let me pour some fuel into⑨ the rocket, and then another student lit a match to set it off⑩.It was great fun.
(1)句中it为宾语,so boring and difficult作宾语补足语。这是动词find的复合结构。
I know that I wasn't a willing student, but I wasn't slow to learn new things.The problem was that I lacked confidence in myself.Mr Jenkins made me feel that I had my own strengths.I was interested in the study of the stars and planets and he asked me to give a presentation to the class.That was really the first time I tried to explain science to an audience and now it's my job! Often when I'm preparing a programme, I think about how Mr Jenkins would have done it.Sometimes I think, if only I could call him and ask for his opinion! (2)
(2)句中if only引导条件状语从句,意为“要是……就好了”,常用虚拟语气。

④become interested in 对……感兴趣
⑤for the first time 初次,第一次

我的老师
虽然离开学校之后再也没有见过詹金斯先生,但我常常想起他。遇到詹金斯先生以前,大多数科目我都不是很擅长。我想我那时候有点懒惰,特别是在数学方面。我唯一还记得的数学课内容是三角形的内角和是180度。但是在我15岁那年,我走进了詹金斯先生的课堂,第一次对一个学科真正产生了兴趣。
在上詹金斯先生的课之前,科学课对我来说就是一堆奇怪的词语。我不知道氢是什么,而且也不想知道!我觉得这些东西既无聊又难以理解。但詹金斯先生让一切变得有趣起来。他经常结合很多实际例子,并用简单的语言解释看似很难的知识。有一天,他把我们带到户外,一起制造了一枚火箭!我记得他让我把燃料倒进火箭,然后另一名学生点燃了一根火柴发射火箭。太有趣了。
我知道自己不是一个主动学习的学生,但我学习新事物并不慢,我的问题是对自己缺乏信心。 詹金斯先生让我认识到我是有长处的。我对恒星和行星的研究很感兴趣,他便让我给全班同学做了一个展示。这是我第一次尝试向观众讲解科学知识,现在这成了我的工作!在准备项目时,我经常会想如果是詹金斯先生,他会怎么做。有时甚至想,如果能打电话征求他的意见就好了!
My Student
I've read a couple of①Graham's books and seen him on TV.I always say to my wife, “Oh look, I used to teach him!” I remember Graham was very difficult before he came into my class.I had heard stories about his bad behaviour②.Once I caught him and his friends seeing③ who could jump the farthest off the school stage!(1)But when he got interested, he changed.The first day he walked into my class, he was dragging④ his schoolbag behind him and looking bored, but as soon as⑤ I set up⑥ an experiment to show how the human stomach works using acid and an onion, he gave me his full attention.(2)He loved science! He was very bright and he had done very well in⑦ science subjects.
(1)本句中含有catch sb doing sth结构;who引导宾语从句。
(2)本句是一个并列复合句,由but连接两个并列分句。第一个分句中the first day引导时间状语从句;第二个分句中as soon as引导时间状语从句,其中how引导宾语从句。
However, I have not done as well with all my students as I have with Graham.I think it's important to understand that there's no such thing as a good or a bad student.Look at Graham! Everyone is good at something and it's important to find out⑧ what that is for each student.We teachers should have more time to make friends with⑨ all our students and really understand them.Then we could make sure that we would find the path to success, both at school and in later life, for all of them.
I knew I had chosen a job with a lot of stress but I love what I do.The thing about being a teacher is that you have access to children's minds when they are open and eager to learn.(3)If what I do as a teacher can help turn a child like Graham into such a successful adult, then I know what I'm doing is worthwhile .As John Dewey, the famous educationalist , said,“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
(3)本句中that引导表语从句;when引导时间状语从句。
①a couple of 一些,几个;一双,一对
②behaviour n. 行为,举止
③catch sb doing sth 当场抓住某人做某事
④drag vt. 拖,拉

[参考译文]
我的学生
我读了几本格雷厄姆的书,也在电视上看到过他。我总会对妻子说:“喏,看,我曾经教过他!” 我记得格雷厄姆来我的班上之前有比较大的问题。我听说过他的一些不良行为。有一次我撞见他和几个朋友比赛,看谁能从学校的舞台上跳得最远。但当他对学习产生兴趣时,他变了。他第一次走进我的班级时,他的书包在身后拖着,一幅百无聊赖的样子。但当我用酸和洋葱做一个展示人类的胃是如何运作的实验时,他全神贯注。他热爱科学!他非常聪明,科学课学得非常好。
不过,并不是每一个学生我能都像教格雷厄姆那么成功。我认为重要的是要知道没有所谓的好学生或者坏学生。看看格雷厄姆!每个人都有擅长的事,重要的是要找出每个学生擅长的是什么。 我们老师应该花更多的时间和所有的学生交朋友并真正了解他们。这样才能确保我们为他们找到通向成功的道路,包括在学业上和以后的生活中。
我知道我选择了一份压力很大的工作,但我热爱我的工作。做教师意味着,你有机会在孩子们敞开心扉、渴望学习的时候,走进他们的心灵。作为老师,如果可以帮助像格雷厄姆这样的孩子成长为如此成功的人,那么我知道我做的是值得的。正如著名教育家约翰·杜威所说:“教育不是为生活做准备;教育就是生活本身。”
