“You must be mad!” said my friends. “Giving up your job now, when there isn’t much chance of finding another one, ever!”
But I had already come to my lonely decision. To wake up in the morning with a sense of fear, to force a hasty breakfast down an unwilling throat and then to set off for work with pounding heart and frozen face had become habitual, and I had turned to tranquilizers（镇定剂）to help me along.
It hadn’t always been as bad as this. Ten years before I had managed quite well.
I, in common with most other teachers, am rather self-critical, and I knew now I was no longer “managing”. My classes were noisy, the children were not learning very much, and my attempts to cope with changing teaching methods produced very little effect. At one time my very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence. Now they give a vague（含糊的） “Hello, Miss”, and carry on. I had run out of enjoyment and enthusiasm. It was time to stop.
Was it all my own failure? In fairness to myself, I don’t think it was. I had plenty of ideas, I loved my subject, and I liked children.
I had been idealistic. But the reality I faced was bored children, over-stimulated（刺激）by video-watching the night before and tired out by a late bedtime. They were given the wrong food at the wrong time, who came without breakfast to school and then stuffed themselves with gum and chocolates bought on the way; who were “high” with hunger in class and talked restlessly as the cooking smell from the school kitchen came drifting（漂）to all floors.
I had been trying to create the basic conditions in which teaching becomes possible, but I had failed, and no longer had the stomach for the job.
1．The reason why the writer decided to give up her job was probably that .
A．teaching children wasn’t challenging
B．she took no pride in her work
C．teaching had become too much for her
D．she disliked the new teaching method
2．“My very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence” means “ .”
A．I’d very well make some students stop talking simply by standing in the doorway
B．when I came to the doorway, the class would immediately quiet down
C．all the students would become silent on my turning up in the doorway
D．my appearance in the doorway could at least comfort the class
3．The following are all reasons that children couldn’t concentrate in class EXCEPT .
A．they were tired out because they went to bed too late
B．they were burdened with too much homework
C．they were not properly fed by their parents
D．they were over excited by video-watching the night before
4．We can infer from the passage that the writer .
A．had no love for children at all
B．never truly enjoyed teaching
C．found it difficult to give up her job
D．felt extremely nervous about each coming day

查看习题详情和答案>>ice mountains, anything-"If it's there," he used to say, "then I want to climb it." So the news of his marriage
gave me a surprise. I'd never known him to take much interest in girls. Well, well, Peter was a married man!
I couldn't get over it. I wondered whether his wife would try to stop some of risky adventures.
She was French perhaps-from that place where he usually spent his holidays. Chamonis, wasn't it? From
Chamonis he'd climbed Mont Blanc on his seventeenth birthday, and one of the Aifuilles the day after! That
was it, then, she was French from a family, most of whom like climbing. No doubt. No other explanation.
A month later I met them both in town. Anna surprised me because she was English. She was a dancer
in the theater. "Never climbed more than sixty steps in my life," she told me. "Peter has his interests, and I've
got mine. No problems." "None at all," Peter said, smiling.
"Where did you spend your honeymoon?" "I flew to New York to see the drake Dancers on Broadway.
A wonderful show!"
Peter said, "I didn't want to miss the good weather. So I went to Switzerland and climbed the north face
of the Eiger with Allen Dunlop. Great fun, the Eiger. Grand place for a honeymoon! I'll show you the photos
we took one day."
B. he was angry on mountains
C. he lost his senses on mountains
D. he enjoyed climbing mountains very much
B. dangerous adventures
C. terrible adventures
D. unkind adventures
B. his wife would stop him from mountain climbing
C. he himself would give up his love
D. Peter would continue his love and so he did
B. would not stop his climbing
C. perhaps came from France
D. might live near the mountain
B. happy because each of them respected the other's love
C. painful because either of them would do their own thing
D. a mistake because either of them wouldn't care the other's love
