He says the problem with teachers is, “What will a kid learn from someone who chose to become a teacher?” He reminds the other dinner guests that it’s true what they say about teachers: Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.
I decide to bite my tongue instead of biting his and stop myself from reminding the other dinner guests that it’s also true what they say about lawyers-that they make money from the misfortune of others.
“I mean, you’re a teacher, Taylor,” he says to me.” Be honest. What do you make?”
I wish he hadn’t asked me to be honest, because now I have to teach him a lesson.
You want to know what I make?
I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I can make a C+feel like a great achievement and an A-feel like a failure.
How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best?
I make parents tremble in fear when I call them:
I hope I haven’t called at a bad time.
I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today.
Billy said, “Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don’t you?”

You want to know what I make?
I make kids wonder.
I make them question.
I make them criticise.
I make them think.

I make them understand that if you have brains then you follow your heart and if someone ever tries to judge you by what you make, you teach them a lesson.

I make a great difference! What about you?

just because the salesman talked you into it?
Are you afraid to ask someone for a date? Many people are afraid of assert themselves, that is to say dare
not state their opinions confidently. Dr. Albert, author of Stand up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks it is
because their self-respect is low."Our whole set up (体制) is designed to make people distrust themselves,"
says Albert. "There is always 'superior' around - a parent, a teacher, a boss-who'knows better'. These superiors often gain when they chip (削弱) away at your self-image."
But Alert and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves. They offer "assertiveness training" courses-AT for short. In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They
learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be more active without hurting other people.
In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the timid
person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive the need to share. The timid person speaks out in
the group because he wants to tell how he feels.
Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image. If someone you face is more
"important" than yon, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your own good sense.
You go by the other person's demand. But, why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about
yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.
B. The importance of self-image
C. Development of Self-respect
D. How to Feel Good of Yourself
B. active
C. angry
D. shy
B. Some people usually think too low of themselves
C. People are usually afraid of their superiors
D. Some people are not used to making their ideas public
B. negative
C. appreciative
D. aggressive
