The former Chinese language teacher from a private high school in earthquake-hit Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province, was nicknamed “running Fan” by netizens (网民) after he left his students behind and escaped the classroom as the 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck.
Fan’s behavior became a controversial object, and he was later fired.
Zhang said, however, that Fan had been hired for his extensive teaching experience and talent. At Keyfind, he’ll conduct research on developing students’ potential and raising their interest in learning. He’ll also give some lectures, according to Zhang.
“Fan, as a person, also needs to live,” Zhang said. “We hope the media will be tolerant about Fan and give him some living space. Whether he was wrong or right in his running behavior, we only want to make use of his talent.”
He said the school had not decided what to do next about Fan’s job.

The passage is mainly about the news that Fan Meizhong, once a teacher in Dujiangyan City who left his students behind and ran away during the earthquake, again got employed as a teacher in
In my opinion, Fan's behavior deserves scolding. According to our law's morality, any grown-up should have the duty to protect teenagers. Therefore, as a teacher, Fan should have helped his helpless students during the earthquake instead of choosing to run away. Although we can understand that it is the instinct that makes Fan escape from the earthquake, he shouldn’t insist that he was a model to be followed. It’s really a shame.
As a result, I think he is not qualified as a teacher anyway, though we should be a little tolerant to give him a chance. If employed as a teacher, he shall set a bad pattern for others.
In my eyes, a teacher should not only be rich in knowledge but also have noble virtue.
( Possible version )
The passage tells us that
In my opinion, Fan’s running behavior was wrong, for he didn’t protect his students on his own responsibility in the earthquake.
Maybe it is unacceptable that Fan ran out of the classroom in spite of the frightened students, but we should try to forgive him and give him another chance. For one reason, it’s only human nature to escape from such a big earthquake, which is a matter of life and death. For another reason, as the saying goes,“Every man has his fault”. Therefore, I think we should adopt a right attitude toward Fan’s rehire and give him some living space.
A good teacher in my mind should have many good qualities, such as patience and enthusiasm, and most important of all he or she should be full of love and have a strong sense of responsibility.
阅读下面的短文,然后从A-F选项中,为每一小段选择合适的标题, 并把答案写在答案卷上。
A. The most common problem is a “wandering” mind B. Selective listening is also a mental barrier C. Listening isn’t an easy skill to master D. Attitude can also influence good listening E. Noise and background music makes listening more difficult F. Listening is also related to the level of the listener’s knowledge |
1._____________
Listening is not as easy as someone thought. Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear. Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty-five percent after a few days. So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training. To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening.
2.___________
If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s a good reason. The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak. The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks at a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute. That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time.
3.____________
If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively. Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones.
4.____________
If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate. Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen. Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks.
5.___________
When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear. For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking. However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks. They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them. In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear.
