题目内容

My son ,Izzy, was a nine-year-old boy and had been begging me to please let him find his way home by subway, by himself. After all, we live in New York City, and getting around by public transportation is a basic part of life. It is also the first step toward feeling grown-up. So on that sunny Sunday，I gave him a subway map, a transportation card,$20 for emergencies, and a couple of coins so that he could call me if necessary. I didn’t give him a cell phone because nine-year-olds lose things. A few days later, I wrote about his adventure，or non-adventure for a newspaper. Little did I realize the idea that a kid could tour the city on his own, and that a mom would let him, was big news. It turned out that many TV shows called me and asked for an interview. Bloggers were going crazy, so I started a blog, too, and letters came pouring in. Finally I found out why this was such a big story: we have become fearful for our children. Fear is hardly a new thing for parents, of course. But the fear of letting our children out of sight for even a second-that’s new. How did this happen? How did it become too scary to let kids be kids? I asked the question when the reporter Trevor Butterworth interviewed me.

“News reports,” he answered. “News reports scare the pants off you. What is scarier than a kidnapped kid no matter how far away？Because there are so many such stories, it starts to feel as if kidnappings are happening all the time. That’s why the kid-on-the-subway story surprises the whole world.” Izzy probably did a good job. He simply proved that kids could leave home alone and return home safely! But he didn’t think it was a big deal. “It was fun,” he said. “But I missed some classes because of the interviews.” Sometimes it really pays to be brave.

1.Why did the author let her son take the subway alone?

A. Because she always let her son do whatever he wanted.

B. Because she believed that her son had memorized the subway map.

C. Because she thought it would be big news around the whole world.

D. Because she felt traveling by subway in New York was a basic life skill.

2.The author gave her son all the following when he traveled alone EXCEPT_______.

A. a map. B. a cell phone.

C. a transportation card D. some money.

3.The author didn’t expect that after she wrote her son’s story for a newspaper, _________.

A. a blog would be started in her name

B. her son would receive so many letters

C. many TV shows would want to interview her

What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher? I think the following would be generally accepted.

Firstly, the teacher’s personality should be lively and attractive. This does not rule out people who are plain?looking, or even ugly, because many such people have great personal charm. 1..

Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential for a teacher to have a capacity for sympathy, a capacity to understand the minds and feelings of children. 2.—not of what is wrong, but of the weaknesses and immaturity of children, which cause them to make mistakes.

Thirdly, I hold it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths and limitations, and will have thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be guided. 3.. That is part of the technique of teaching, which demands that every now and then a teacher should be able to put on an act—to enliven(使生动) a lesson, correct a fault, or award praise.

A teacher must be capable of infinite patience. 4., for we are none of us born like that.

Finally, I think a teacher should have the kind of mind which always wants to go on learning. 5.；there is always something more to learn about. There are three principal objects of study: the subjects which the teacher is teaching; the methods by which the subjects can best be taught to the particular pupils in the classes he is teaching; most importantly, the children, young people, or adults to whom the subjects are to be taught.

A. This, I may say, is largely a matter of self?discipline and self?training

B. Closely related to this is the capacity to be tolerant

C. Teaching is a job at which one will never be perfect

D. Children, especially young children, live in a world that is rather larger than life

E. There is no contradiction (自相矛盾) in my going on to say that a teacher should be a bit of an actor

F. But it does rule out such types as the over?excitable, sad, cold, and frustrated

G. There are two fundamental principles of British education today
