Are teachers doing their jobs?

　　The speaker，a teacher from a college in California，addressed a supportive audience．Heads nodded in agreement when he said，“High school English teachers are not doing their jobs．” He described the inability of his students，all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level．I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been set up．

　　In my view，what the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young；he has been teaching for sixteen years，and is able to think and speak in a sensible and reasonable way．

　　My point is that the frequent complaint (指责) of one generation about the one immediately following it is unavoidable．It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction．Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century，it was difficult to find the focus of the blame for language imperfection．But since then，English teachers have been under continuous attack．

　　The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea．As their own ability to use the language improves，they notice that young people do not have this same ability．Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years，they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this case．To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults，the language of the young always seems not good enough．

　　Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not seen as something happens to a generational but rather as something new and strange to today’s young people，t naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs．Otherwise，young people would not have such poor language abilities．

More than a hundred adults and kids gather for the Star Party on a cold evening, chattering excitedly as they stand in the dark on a Virginia hillside. The odd thing is, no one has turned on a flashlight, and no streetlights or house lights wink(闪烁) on around them.
These people have traveled to the countryside more than an hour from Washington, D. C., to get away from the glow of city lights. That's because they are attending a star party. Star parties are gatherings where professional and amateur astronomers set up their telescopes and invite people to come learn about the night sky. Getting away from light pollution, or artificial skylight from buildings for example, helps stargazers (看星星的人) see objects in the sky much better.
At this star party, Sean O'Brien of the National Air and Space Museum’s Einstein Planetarium starts off by asking the crowd to simply look up and take in all they can see. He points out plenty of things that can be seen without special equipment. Stars, satellites, and even the Andromeda galaxy(仙女座) can be found if you know where to look.
After that, several dozen astronomers offer close-up views. Each has focused their telescope on a different part of the sky. As kids take a look, the owner gives a mini-lesson.
O’Brien says you can have your own star party at home and learn a lot just by paying attention to what's happening up above. "Watch the sky as the seasons pass, and you will see that it changes," he says. "Or start with the moon. Notice when and where you are seeing it—maybe even in the early morning while you wait for the school bus. "
【小题1】What was it special about the Star Party ?

A．It was organized by the local authority.

B．It was carried out without any lights.

C．It was so cold that people chatted to cheer up.

D．It was held in the town center of Virginia

【小题2】According to the passage, who were involved in the activity ?
a. some invited guests
b. some government officials
c. some experts in astronomy
d. those who were interested in astronomy
e. students who were major in agriculture

【小题3】From the passage, we can infer that if you want to see the objects in the sky .

A．you'd better escape from pollution and sunlight

B．you'd better follow Sean O'Brien's guidance

C．you'd better buy some advanced equipment

D．you'd better make use of your imagination

【小题4】Which of the following can be best describe what O'Brien says about discovering the stars'?

A．Roman is not built in a day.

B．No pains, no gains.

C．All roads lead to Roman.

D．Time and tide wait for no man.
