That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class．Having taught in for seventeen years, I had no about my ability to hold their attention and to on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue．

I was shocked when the monitor shouted, " !" The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness was over, I quickly my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect—perhaps their admiration．I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement．

My students diaries．However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 49 by a strong sense of sadness．The first diary said, "Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today． her next lecture will be better．" Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a theme．"Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical for all the works we’ll study in class," I complained．" How they say I didn’t teach them anything?"

It was a long term, and it became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as of my students．I thought a teacher’s job was to raise questions and provide enough background so that students could their own conclusions．My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide information as directly and clearly as possible．What a difference!

Homework and stress are rarely reduced inside the classroom．Meanwhile，outside the classroom，the pressure is on to find scholarships for college．

According to Braintrack，a higher education database with worldwide reach，more than 3 billion US dollars (18 billion yuan) in private scholarships are awarded to college students annually．Average awards range from $2,000 to $3,000．

The scholarship application process is similar to the college application process: forms to be completed，test scores and transcripts to be sent，essays to be written and often interviews to be prepared for．

A few great places to start looking for scholarships are: www．fastweb．com，www．finaid．org and www．collegexpress．com．Check out the annual scholarship guidebooks Scholarships，Grants & Prizes by Peterson’s and the Ultimate Scholarship Book: Billions of Dollars in Scholarships，Grants and Prizes by Gen Tanabe and Kelly Tanabe．

Be selective．Thoroughly research the qualifications required by each of the scholarships．Don’t waste your time applying for those that are need based if you can’t produce the appropriate documents．

Research past recipients (接受者)．Check out the websites of the organizations sponsoring the scholarships．Many post the biographies of past recipients．You don’t need to have cured cancer，but if you don’t think your résumé (履历) measures up to the past winners’，you might be better served by moving onto the next scholarship on your list．Prepare for the interview．

You’ll want to dazzle them with your personality，but above all you’ll want to be prepared．Find someone you trust to conduct a similar interview with you – someone who will be honest with you and provide valuable suggestions．

Let your personality shine through in your essays．The essays are the best way for students to share who they are，where they’ve come from，what they’ve overcome and so on．Tell your story in an interesting and persuasive way．And if you do have an interview，send a thank you note afterward．

Today we’ll talk about reading．When we read a text，our eyes move across a page in short，quick movements．We recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate（停留，凝视）．Each time they fixate，we see a group of words．This is known as the recognition span or the visual span（视幅）．The length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to person．It also varies within any parson according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text．In addition，it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness．

Unfortunately，in the past，many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the page．As a result of this misleading emphasis（强调）on the purely visual aspects of reading，many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation．For example，in some exercises，words are flashed on to a screen for a tenth of a second．One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point，taking in the words on either side．Such word patterns are often formed in the shape of pyramids（金字塔），so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive（连续的）fixation．All these exercises are very clever，but it' s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently．Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words．Consequently，for these reasons，many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training，especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated（孤立的）words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text．
