  Clive was climbing an old tree on Butter Hill. His father and Mr Drew were deeply absorbed in conversation not far away, which Clive could overhear.

  “…North Dakota, capital Bismarck,”said Clive's father.

  “Yes, and of South Dakota, it's Pierre. Delaware next, capital Dover, with a population of only 5000…”

  Clive listened, checking the names. When they got stuck on Indiana, he came down the tree and went across to them.

  “Let me see now,”Mr Drew was saying,“Indiana, Indiana…the capital must be Fort Wayne.”

  “No,”said the other,“I think it's Evansville.”

  “Indianapolis,”said Clive.“That's the easiest of all to remember.”

  Both the men laughed.“He's right, you know,”Mr Drew said. Clive's father agreed,“Yes, yes. Indiana, Indianapolis. Now Kansas…”

  Clive, who was thirteen then, was not very clever at school. But at that moment he felt rather proud of himself.

  Looking back now, after many years, Clive remembers some of the ways he learned geography. One thing he remembers clearly is the“test”that took place every other week. The teacher used to pin up a big map on the board China perhaps, or the United States, Australia or Europe…The map would have everything on it, except the names. The teacher, pointing with a long, wooden stick, began.

  “Ready? Fifty questions. Number 1--write the name of this river. Number 2--the name of this State. 3--its capital, here. 4--the name of this bay(海湾). 5…”

  Clive has quite forgotten whether he enjoyed learning geography or not. He didn't consider the rights or wrongs. Though he has never studied geography since he left school, he has never forgotten it. He is glad about the way he learned. The work might have been dull, unexciting; but if so, the dullness has given him a lifetime of interest, understanding and pleasure.

(1) The passage shows that the two men ________.

[  ]

A.gave Clive a regular test in geography

B.were themselves interested in geography

C.disliked some modern ways of teaching

D.discouraged Clive feeling of pride

(2) Indianapolis was the easiest of all to remember because ________.

[  ]

A.it is the capital of the state

B.it is larger than the other cities in the state

C.Clive had learned it so well

D.it repeats the name of the state

(3) The maps were suitable for their purpose be cause ________.

[  ]

A.they didn't give any names

B.they showed everything that the students had learnt

C.they made the test interesting

D.they made it easy to remember things

  If you’re in charge of a project, the key to success is getting everyone to want to help you.As a director, I suggest, I gently push the actors in the direction I want them to go.In the 1986 movie Nothing in Common, Jackie Gleason’s character, Max Basner, gets fired from his job as a clothing salesman.The scene, shot on a boat, shows Max’s hopelessness about being out of work.I was looking for some ways that would allow Max to show his feelings.Jackie had far more experience at everything than I did, and at first I was frightened.What could I possibly tell “The Great One” about acting? Out of fear I decided to direct by suggestion, and I sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene.“So Max is sad, right?” I said.

  Gleason nodded.“And he’s probably still carrying his pens with his name on them-the ones he used to hand out to his customers, right?” Gleason nodded.“So what would you want to do with the pens after you were fired?”He was silent for a moment.“Why don’t I throw them overboard?”

  I stood up and turned toward the crew.“Hey, everybody, Jackie has a wonderful idea.Let’s shoot it.” After filming the scene, Gleason called me over and said with a smile, “Garry, what kind of wonderful idea am I going to have tomorrow?” You and your team can discover the answers to problems together.When there are no prizes or gold stars for those who get the solution first, you’ll all benefit when everything turns out right.
