English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take
her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not
hear her.
My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me
call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who
had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent (青春期的)
voice that was not very convincing, "This is Mrs. Tan.."
And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, "Why he don't send me check already two
week late." And then, in perfect English I said:"I'm getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check
two weeks ago, but it hasn't arrived."
Then she talked more loudly. "What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss." And so I
turned to the stockbroker again, "I can't tolerate any more excuse. If I don't receive the check immediately,
I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week." The next week we ended
up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss
in her broken English.
When I was a teenager, my mother's broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me,
my mother's English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is
vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things,
expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.
B. She was often misunderstood.
C. She was not clearly heard.
D. She was not very polite.
B. rude to the stockbroker
C. ready to help her mother
D. unwilling to phone for her mother
B. they failed to get the check
C. they went to New York immediately
D. they spoke to their boss at once
B. It embarrasses her.
C. It helps her understand the world.
D. It helps her tolerate rude people.

阅读下面短文,从每题所给四个选项中选出最佳答案。
To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.
Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit motionless before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these care-fully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.
A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn't keep discipline: they could not keep strictly to what another had written.
1.What is the text about?
[ ]
A.How to become a good teacher.
B.What a good teacher should do outside the class.
C.What teachers and actors could learn from each other.
D.The similarities and differences between a teacher's work and an actor's.
2.In what way is teacher's work different from an actor's?
[ ]
A.The teacher must learn everything by heart.
B.The teacher knows how to control his voice better than an actor.
C.The teacher has to deal with unexpected situations.
D.The teacher has to use more facial expressions.
3.The main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that ________.
[ ]
A.the students must take part in their teachers' plays
B.students must keep silent while theatre audience needn't
C.no memory work is needed for the students
D.students can move around in the classroom
4.Why does a good teacher make gestures while speaking?
[ ]
A.To make his meaning clearer.
B.To draw the attention of his class.
C.To express feeling more clearly.
D.All of the above.
5.Which of the following is true?
[ ]
A.Teachers have to learn by heart what they are going to say in class.
B.A teacher cannot decide beforehand what exactly he is going to say in class.
C.A teacher must speak louder and more clearly than an actor.
D.A teacher must have a better memory and better voice than an actor.
