Besides this question of the time given to pronunciation，there are two other requirements for the teacher：the first，knowledge；the second，technique．
It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information．This can generally be go form books．It is possible to get from books some idea of the speech；and of what we call general phonetic rules．It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages，between the speech habits of English people and those，of your students．Unless the teacher has such a picture，any explanations he makes on his students'pronunciation are unlikely to be of much use，and lesson time spent on Pronunciation may well be wasted．
But it does not follow that you can teach pronunciation successfully as soon as you have read the necessary books．It depends，after that，what use you make of your knowledge；and this is a matter of technique．
Now the first and most important part of a language teacher's technique is his own performance，his ability to show off the spoken language，in every detail of sound as well as in fluent speaking，so that the student's ability for imitation is given the fullest space and encouragement．The teacher，then，should be as perfect a model in this field as he can make himself．And to make his own performance better，however satisfactory this may be，the modern teacher has in his hand recordings and a radio，to supply the real voices of native speakers，or，if the teacher happens to be a native speaker himself，or speaks just like one，then to change the method of presenting the language material．
However，the process of showing pronunciation，whether by personal ex-ample or with the help of machines，is only the beginning of teaching pronunciation．The technique of teaching each sound also needs to be considered．
1．How might the teacher find himself wasting lesson time？
[ ]
A．By spending lesson time on pronunciation．
B．Bu making ill-informed explanations upon pronunciation．
C．By not using books on phonetics in the classroom．
D．By not giving students a clear mental picture of the difference between
sounds．
2．Students have an ability for imitation which is________．
A．plain and obvious
B．well developed
C．not yet developed
D．too weak to be useful
3．What is the main point the author makes about imitation of the teacher？
A．It is a matter of secondary importance．
B．Students should be given every chance for it．
C．It depends on the student's ability．
D．Teachers are perfect models for students to imitate．
4．TO Someone teaching his own language to foreigners mechanical aids can________．
A．improve his own performance
B．replace his own performance
C．provide examples of native speech
D．make his voice louder
5．Showing pronunciation is to be regarded as ________．
A．a part of teaching pronunciation
B．an exercise of value in itself
C．an example of the use of mechanical aids
D．a technique for teaching separate sounds
【小题1】 ________In 1973, Jimmy Carter, ex-president of the United States, saw a UFO—an Unidentified Flying Object. There were about 20 other people with him at the time, and they all watched the strange object for several minutes. 【小题2】 ________Does this surprise you? It’s not unusual. About 15 million people all over the world think that they have seen a UFO, a recent report says.【小题3】_______UFOs have become very popular. There are books and films about UFOs, we can watch imaginary flying saucers and visitors from space on television, and there are stories in the newspapers about strange objects. Some of the stories are very silly. Clearly, some of these “UFOs” were aircraft, birds, the moon, lights on the clouds, and so on. But some people believe that spaceships come from other planets, and some of the reports aren’t easy to explain.【小题4】 ______In 1947 an American businessman was flying his own plane during the day. Mr. Arnold was a sensible man and a pilot with many years’ experience. That day, he saw a row of strange flying objects. He could see them clearly, and he watched them for some time. Later he said that they moved “like saucers over water.” The name “flying saucer” was invented. The newspapers loved the story, of course, and they all wrote long reports about it.【小题5】 ______During World War II, pilots had reported strange round flying objects. Sometimes these objects flew beside their planes and followed them. At first, the pilots were afraid: they thought these objects were a new weapon. But the “weapon” didn’t harm them. The officers said the pilots were imaging things. The pilots got used to the strange objects.

Follow the following tips to reduce your stress to manageable levels!
Avoid "Must" think. Let go of the idea that you must do something in a certain way—for ex-ample, "I must get a great score on a test, or else." This thought pattern only adds to the stress you'll feel. Evaluate your situation coldly and logically, and not as a "life or death" situation.
Watch the Mess. Don't study in a messy or cramped area. Clear yourself a nice, open space that's free of distractions.
Set Manageable Goals. Break large projects into smaller and doable parts and you' 11 feel a positive sense of accomplishment as you finish each part.
Ocean Dumping. Imagine yourself walking on a beautiful beach, carrying a sand bucket. Stop at a good spot and put your worries into the pail. Drop the bucket and watch as it drifts away into the ocean.
Think Good Thoughts. Create a set of positive but brief affirmations and mentally repeat them to yourself just before you fall asleep at night, and you will feel a lot more positive in the morning.
Imagine Yourself Succeeding. Close your eyes and remember a real life situation in which you did well. Imagine facing your stressful situation with the same feelings of confidence.
Use Your Bed for Sleeping, Not Studying. Your mind may start to associate your bed with work, which will make it harder for you to fall asleep.
Comforting Sounds. If you want to play music, keep it low in the background. Classical mu-sic especially can aid the learning process.
Take a Hike, Pal. Need a study break? Take a short, brisk walk. Clear your mind.
