To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.
Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class:He stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.
A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play:they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.
24.What is the text about
A.How to become a good teacher.
B.What a good teacher should do outside the classroom.
C.What teachers and actors could learn from each other.
D.The similarities (相似处) and differences between a teacher's work and an actor's.
25.A good teacher __________.
A.knows how to hold the interest of his students
B.must have a good voice
C.knows how to act on the stage
D.stands or sits still while teaching
26.In what way is a teacher's work different from an actor's
A.The teacher must learn everything by heart.
B.He knows how to control his voice better than an actor.
C.He has to deal with unexpected situations.
D.He has to use more facial expressions.
27.The main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that ________.
A.students can move around in the classroom
B.students must keep silent while theatre audience needn't
C.no memory work is needed for the students
D.the students must take part in their teachers' plays
C
Don't get mad next time you catch your teenager texting when he commits himself to studying. He simply may not be able to resist. A study of the University of Iowa (UI) found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behavior. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long term payoff of studying.
“For the teenager, the rewards are seductive for them to be addicted to texting,” says Professor Jatin Vaidya, an author of the study. “They draw adolescents. Sometimes, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even when a kind of behavior is no longer in a teenager's best interest to continue, they will, because the effect of the rewards is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults.”
For parents, that means limiting distractions so that teenagers can make better choices. Take the homework and social media dilemma: At 9 p.m., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facebook or Twitter, as the researchers advise. “I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed access to technology,” says Vaidya. “But some help in resetting their concentration is necessary for them so that they can develop those impulse control skills.”
In their study, Vaidya and co author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are not mature, make bad decisions, and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes (额叶) of their brains are not fully developed. But the UI researchers wondered whether something more fundamental was going on with adolescents to cause behavior independent of higher level reasoning.
“We wanted to try to understand the brain's reward system and how it changes from childhood to adulthood,” says Vaidya, who adds that the reward character in the human brain is easier than decision making. “We've been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescent behavior than an under developed frontal lobe,” he adds. For their study, the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 to 16, and 40 adults, aged 20 to 35 to participate.
In the future, researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological (神经学上的) aspects of their results.
28.What does the passage mainly tell us
A.Always, rewards are attractive to teenagers.
B.Always, adolescents can resist rewards.
C.Resistance can be controlled well by adolescents.
D.Getting rewards is the greatest motivation for adolescents to study.
29.What does the underlined word “seductive” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Necessary. B.Attractive.
C.Useful. D.Important.
30.Which statement agrees with Vaidya's idea
A.The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents.
B.Parents should help children in making decisions.
C.Children should have access to the Internet.
D.Children need help in refocusing their attention.
31.What result does the teenager's brain underdevelopment lead to
A.Doing things after some thought. B.Making good decisions.
C.Joining in dangerous actions. D.Escaping risky behavior.
D
There are around 6,000 living languages in the world and at least half of these are in danger. In every part of the world, languages are disappearing. In fact, one scientist has said that languages are in more danger of extinction than birds or mammals. Professor Steve Sutherland of the University of East Anglia says that in the past 500 years 4.5 percent of languages have died out—compared with 1.3 percent of birds, and 1.9 percent of mammals.
Languages come and go, and thousands have done exactly that without leaving any trace. Only a very few—Basque, Greek and Latin among them—have lasted more than 2,000 years. But it seems that the pace of their disappearance is becoming quicker.
The Ethnologue, a database of all the languages spoken in the world, states that 417 languages are spoken by so few people that they are in the final stages of becoming extinct. If very few people speak a language, it will probably die out.
Languages may be lost through migration (迁移), as people move from small towns to city centers, or when environments are destroyed by the search for oil or wood. Natural disasters can also destroy populations, and along with them, their language. Governments also play a role in the extinction of languages. The need to establish “official languages”, for a country to educate its children and carry out its business, had a disastrous effect on many small languages.
What is lost if a language is lost Some people argue that languages die as the human race develops. Obviously there could be great benefits if everyone in the world spoke the same language—some industries already reflect this, with English essential for pilots and air traffic controllers. But there are more important things than convenience. As languages are lost, whole ways of life and knowledge may be lost along with them.
To put it simply, language expresses something about identity, about our place in the world. Ani Rauhihi, a Maori teacher in New Zealand's North Island, sums it up: “If you grow up speaking our language, you won't know who you are.”
32.What do the figures mentioned in the first paragraph suggest
A.Most languages have died out completely.
B.Languages are in great danger of extinction.
C.Animals are disappearing faster than languages.
D.Languages are disappearing slower than before.
33.What will happen while people moved
A.Populations will reduce. B.Food will grow well.
C.Language will disappear. D.People become strangers.
34.What will come about if a language is lost
A.There will be great trouble.
B.There is no need to worry about it.
C.Its culture and knowledge will also be lost.
D.People will be able to communicate with others conveniently.
35.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Languages reflect our identity.
B.People will speak the same language one day.
C.Fewer people will remember their own languages.
D.Ani Rauhihi cares less about languages dying out.

In the most basic sense, self regulation (自我调节) involves controlling one's behavior and thoughts in pursuit (追求) of long term goals.

When left unchecked, over time this could lead to risky behavior such as taking drugs.
__39__ One of the most frequently used methods is to change your thought patterns, which means that you think about a situation in a positive way, rather than one that's likely to increase negative emotions. __40__ Rather than thinking that this reflects something about yourself such as “My friend hates me”, you might instead think, “My friend must be really busy”.
A.Try to cheer yourself up after disappointment.
B.Do the usual series of things at a particular time.
C.A child who doesn't feel safe may have trouble self regulating.

People used to say “Behind every successful man there is a woman.”
Some women still like making their husbands and sons successful. But some women want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work, they want to be paid equally as men.
Today the best jobs are still given to men. Even when women do the same work, they are often paid less than men. Women want these things changed.
The women's liberation movement was started by women who didn't want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men,with the same chance for success. The movement is quite new, and many American women do not agree with its purpose. But it has already made several changes in women's lives, and men's lives, too.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文,比较了老师和演员的相似和不同之处。作为一名教师,要有一名优秀演员的才能和天赋,比如你必须要抓住观众的注意力,要讲话清晰,声音令人愉悦,为了把意思表达清楚还要有手势和动作等。
24.答案与解析:D 主旨大意题。由文章大意可知比较了老师和演员的相似和不同之处。

33.答案与解析:C 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知,当人们从小城镇迁移到城市中心,或者当环境因寻找石油或木材而被破坏时,语言可能会在迁移过程中消失。紧接着说自然灾害也会毁灭人口,以及他们的语言。所以迁移会导致语言消失。

参考范文:
Stevewenthomefromschool, thoughtful, thatafternoon. Walking into the house, he took one look around. Both parents were passed out, in various stages of undress, and the stench was overpowering! He, quickly, gathered up his camping gear, a jar of peanut butter, a loaf of bread, a bottle of water, and this time...his schoolbooks. Grim faced and determined, he headed for the woods.
MissWhite, immediately, gaveaquizontheweekendhomework. Steve hurried through the test, and was the first to hand in his paper. With a look of surprise, Miss White took his paper. Obviously puzzled, she began to look it over. Steve walked back to his desk, his heart pounding within his chest. As he sat down, he couldn't resist another look at the smiling, young, beautiful lady. From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life at home remained the same, but life still changed. He discovered that not only could he learn, but he was good at it!
