Everyone has experienced trying, but failing to master a difficult book that was begun with the hope of increasing one's understanding. When that happens, it is ?　36　?to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in ?　37　? too much from the first reading of a(n) ?　38　? book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the ?　39　?reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair(令人失望).

What is the right method? The ?　40　? is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not ?　41　? or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever ?　42　? to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.

Do not be stopped by what you ?　43　? understand. Read through the difficult ?　44　?,and you soon come to things that you do understand. Read these ?　45　?.You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that ?　46　? you to have read the book through once ?　47　?.

What you understand by reading the book through to the ?　48　? will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not ?　49　? in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding ?　50　? of it, which will happen ?　51　? you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.?

Most of us were taught to ?　52　? the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the ?　53　? of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another ?　54　? for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only ?　55　? our reading, instead of helping it.

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 students, you must be ?　36　?—speaking, with a good, strong,?　37　? voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to ?　38　? what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.

?　39　? a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class; he ?　40　? the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his ?　41　?,hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express his ?　42　?.Listen to him, and you will ?　43　? the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always ?　44　? according to what he is talking about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't ?　45　 that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important ?　46　? between the teacher's work and the actor's. The ?　47　? has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the ?　48　? words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually ?　49　? beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem ?　50　? on the stage.?

A good teacher ?　51　? in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his ?　52　?:they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't ?　53　? something, they will say no. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students, which is in his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must ?　54　? it as he goes along.

I have known many teachers who were fine ?　55　? in class but 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.

36. A. clear    B. slow C. small D. low ?

37. A. frightening B. fearing C. exciting D. pleasing ?

38. A. act out B. talk C. say D. repeat ?
