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;1 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 2 ;he stands the whole time for his explanations,using his face to express his feelings. Listen to him,and you will hear the loudness,the quality (音色) and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.

The fact that 3 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 repeat 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. 4

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. 5 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 unable to take part in a stage play because they could not keep strictly to what other people had written.

A. you must be a clear speaker

B. Teachers are very important for students.

C. a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor

D. you will see that he does not sit still before his class

E. A good teacher must learn from a good actor on the stage.

F. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience.

G. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions natural on the stage.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Dear Sir or Madam,Thank you for taking your time to read my letter. I am writing to apply to be a volunteer of the coming International Trade Exposition.

I promise I would try to serve for our honored guests from all over the world with enthusiasm. Besides,have a rich knowledge of Chinese history,I will be not only a servant but also a carrier for our splendidly culture. What's more,English,an international language,will play important role in communication during the Exposition. Unluckily,I am good at them and can express myself fluently and clearly in English.

To sum up,I believe I can be a qualified volunteer. I will value the chance and do that I can if I could be accepted to be one.

Yours,Susan

Thanks to a loyal dog and a group of volunteers,two dogs were found safe after being lost in the woods in the state of Washington for a week. Tillie,the kind dog,stayed with her doggie friend Phoebe for a week. She left each day to find help. Phoebe was trapped in a dry concrete pool in a ravine ( where Tillie stood guard.

Based on the information,volunteers made their way into the ravine,said Amy Carey of Ⅵ. P. After a bit of searching,the volunteers heard a small response (回应) when they called out to Tillie. A few minutes later they found her lying beside the? old pool with her head resting on the concrete wall. “They knew that meant Phoebe was inside the well. Every breath was held and everyone prayed (iff #) that the effort of searching the well would end in finding her safe,” Carey said. Both dogs were cold and hungry but are well now.

Every year 10 to 15 percent of babies bom in the ?.S. end up in the neonatal intensive care unit(新生儿重症监护病房) (NICU) of a hospital because of heart problems or other issues. And for the parents of those children,NIC? nurses are their rock.

“Care in the NIC? is intensive,” one nurse,Renee Hendrix,says in the video Tiny Miracles put out by Kleenex in recognition of annual Neonatal Nurses Day. “Our babies are in great danger,” she continues. “I treat them like I would want somebody to treat my baby when I’m not there.

I don’ t do what I do for any kind of thank you but it's a wonderful feeling to be appreciated."

This campaign(活动) of thanks is continuing in social media as well,with other NIC? families cheering on the nurses who made a difference in their lives. It’s all part of the job,though,according to Hendrix.

Turn around the compliment

I remember one of the last few years at a theme park. I spent about five years running a small shop across from a wonderful comedian (喜剧演员) .

His name was Moonie,and he was amazing. His skit(滑稽短剧) was done using nothing but gestures and noises instead of words. I remember that I was always entertained when watching his shows. He always managed to keep things fun,lively,and fresh. That was a very hard thing to do,considering he did the same skits for five years several times a day, .each weekend.

When I heard it would be his last performance in the park,I wanted to thank him for all the amazing shows he had done. He was standing with the crowd after one of his last shows of the day,and as each person dropped a tip into his basket,he pointed at them,saying very playfully “No,you’re the greatest!” to each one.

I walked up to him and dropped $20 into his basket,and he turned to me,smiling very brightly,and continued with another saying “No , you’re the greatest!” I stopped him .and said, “No,Moonie,you are the greatest. I have been watching your shows for five years from that shop right over there,and I just want to say thank you for the amazing shows that you have given me."

The look on his face said that he was truly touched by that comment. He politely asked to shake my hand. I accepted and we shared a very deep moment of mutual (互相的) respect ank thankfulness. Finally I walked away very happily,and I know he did too.

What does the word “compliment” in the title of the text mean?

A. Praise. B. Truth,

C. Choice. D. Gift.

Don’t stop swimming!

On September 2 ,2013,Diana Nyad became the first person to swim successfully the dangerous Florida Straits,a 177 km passage from Cuba to Florida,without the protection of a shark cage (鲨鱼笼) . She was 64 years old at that year.

When she was in her twenties,Diana was already a famous long-distance swimmer,but she retired in 1979. During her early career,Diana had one unsuccessful swim: Her attempt(尝试) to swim .from Cuba to Florida in 1978 ended after 42 hours in the water. Although she went on with her life,this unrealized dream remained in the back of her mind.

In early 2010,she turned 60 and decided it was time to pursue her dream again. She began training and,in August 2011,she entered the water to try again 33 years after she had first tried this challenging swim. However,this time she faced strong winds and sea currents and had to give up after 29 hours in the water.

She tried again a month later,but still wasn’t successful. She waited until the following year for her fourth attempt,but pain from jellyfish?(海蜇) bites forced her to give up. Her fifth attempt began on 31st August,2013t After 53 hours in the water,she. reached Florida and set a new world record.

It was an unbelievable achieve-ment,but in the words of Diana, “Find a way. Never,ever give up."

Too many people never realize their dreams,listing all the reasons why they can not achieve them. But Diana N?ad’s story tells US that you should never give up and you’ re never too old to make your dream come true.

True (T) or False (F) :

1. Diana Nyad became a famous swimmer in 1979.()

2. Diana Nyad was faced with strong winds on her fifth attempt to swim from Cuba to Florida.()
