8、In 2004, I was 22 years old and had just come back to Brazil after 14 months in England, holding my Cambridge Proficiency certificate. After nervously__1__a short training course, I began to give classes to my 12 students, all of them older than I was. I __2__hard to remain clam in class and__3__they wouldn’t find out how unconfident I felt most of the time. I was quite__4__, actually, until the end of__5__and the night of the final oral test.

       The test was going to start at 7 pm, and at 6:50, I __6__myself in the teacher’s bathroom to__7__all the test questions again. I really wanted to learn the__8__by heart so no one would think I was an inexperienced tester. The__9__is, I actually locked myself in the bathroom. I __10__couldn’t get out! The bell rang at 7 pm and I could hear the noise in the halls__11__the students went to their rooms. I tried hard to__12__the bathroom door, but failed.

       I heard the cleaning lady’s voice and asked for help as__13__as I could. However, she wasn’t exactly a thoughtful person, and started__14__: “Diana’s locked in the bathroom!” Shame had fallen upon me! __15__, the course director, the secretary and some teachers were outside the bathroom trying to get me out, and, __16__, my students gathered outside too, happily saying things like “Aren’t we__17__!

Teacher.” They said, “We know you are human too!”

       They all passed their test. True to the Brazilian style, we all went out for a beer afterwards, and laughed the whole thing off.

7、I cannot remember too many specifics of what I was taught in school, but I do remember learning the layers of the earth—inner core(地核), outer core, mantle, crust. I think it’s rather humorous that I know these, because studying the earth is not exactly something that would interest me. The only subjects I enjoyed in school were art and spelling. Every other subject I seemed to tune out. Anyway, the reason I learned the layer of the earth and actually enjoyed learning them was because my 6th grade teacher told us that she was going to make an ice-cream earth. For the entire week, I tried to imagine how in the world she was going to do this. She had us memorize the layers so that we would be able to tell her the names of them before we would get some ice-cream that Friday.

       Friday came and everyone was excited. I was even more excited that I could tell the teacher the names of each layer. She got a big bowl, lined it with a chocolate cracker crust, then three layers of different colored ice-cream. I thought it was so cool that the crust was the crust.

       This shows me that taking the time to teach creatively is worth it because unique activities are what students will learn, rather then simply reading everything from a text or listening to lecture done in black and white.

1.According to the writer, how did his teacher teach creatively?

       A.She was humorous and taught geography in art and spelling classes.

       B.She asked her students to make the ice-cream earth with colored layers

       C.She made the ice-cream earth and used it as a reward for good learners.

       D.She taught the lesson on Friday so her students could review it at the weekend.

2.The underlined words “tune out”(Paragraph 1) most probably means_____.

       A.fail                  B.ignore                C.hate                    D.forget

3.What is the point the writer wished to express in the text?

       A.Children learn better through interesting experiences.

       B.Ice-cream with a chocolate crust is children’s favorite.

       C.A woman teacher is better at organizing good classroom activities.

       D.A knowledge of the earth is best learned through ice-cream making
