In 1974， after filling out fifty applications， going through four interviews， and winning one offer， I took what I could get ---- a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area ; western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen---- teaching English.

School started， but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey? My studies took a week off when hunting season began. I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City， who thought that”Make hay while the sun shines”just meant to have a good time.

But， still， I was teaching English. I worked hard， taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class ------seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I know it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher . I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room

In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior . So I did， confident that， as the textbook had said， the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students positive attention. It sounds reasonable， but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans， particularly teenagers， rarely seem reasonable/ By the time my boss， who was also my taskmaster ，known to be the strictest， most demanding， most quick to fire inexperienced teachers， came into the classroom to observe me， the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.

My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises， hitting each other while the girls their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all was n’t happening， and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss， sitting in the back of the room， seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes he left， silently. Visions of unemployment marches before my eyes.

I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying， but at my next free period I had to face him. I wondered if he would let me finish out the day. I walked to his office， took a deep breath， and opened the door.

He was gitting in his chair， and he looked at me long and hard. I said nothing. All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself， pretending that everything was fine.

When he spoke， he said simply， without accusation，”You had nothing to say to them.”

“You had nothing to say to them.”he repeated，”No wonder they’re bored. Why not get to the meat of the literature and stop talking about symbolism.”Talk with them， not at them. And more important， why do you ignore their bad behavior?’”We talked. He named my problems and offered solutions. We role played. He was the bad student， and I was the forceful， yet ，warm，teacher/

As the year progressed， we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human being. And their attentions ，he helped me identify my weakness and my strengths. In short， he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emerson’s words;”The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil.”

Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school. Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year， the school is my home now.

第二节　下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句(第61~65题)。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)选出适合各段落的首句，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

A. Time can run out .

B. Tomorrow won’t be better

C. Ideas need time to develop

D. Your professor will be impatient

E. You blow off your chances for help

F. You’re probably overestimating(高估)the pain.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today

Want to put off studying for the physics test? Or writing that thirty-page research paper on future uses of biotechnology? Sure you do? And who would n’t ?But it’s still a silly idea to put off doing something until  a future time. Here’s why.......

61.______The task will be still the same. It won’t be any more fun and you still won’t want to do it. As the deadline gets closer and closer， the task seems to become larger and larger if you have n’t started the work. And the stress increased. Now not only do you have to write that paper， you have to do it under great pressure.

62._______Before you start， it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished. But you know what ?you’re  probably miscalculating . Get started----maybe on a small place-----and you’ll discover that you have more resources and know more about the subject than you thought. Result? You won’t experience nearly as much suffering as you expected to .Things are guaranteed----100percent----to get better.

63.________If you leave your work until the night before it’s due， you give up the possibility of getting input from your professor. Professors regularly give advice----or at least a few useful tips----during office hours. Unfortunately， though， they don’t usually hold office hours at midnight， so you’ll be out of luck when you discover the night before the midterm that you have no idea how to do the questions that will count for two-thirds of your grade.

64._______Ever wonder why the professor assigns the paper two weeks before it’s due?It’s because he or she expects you to be thinking about the issue， or doing the research ，for two weeks. No， not every waking moment， but at least some of the time.After all， the professor could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected less thinking. Most college papers require you to have some kind of idea， then to spend some time thinking about it， revising it， and polishing it. When you throw together a paper or a report at the last minute，your ideas are half-baked. And your professor will know it.

65.________If you put things off till the last minute， you might find that you haven’t budgeted enough minutes to finish the necessary tasks. It’s the easiest thing in the world to miscalculate how long it’ll take to do all the work especially when new issues arise---like illness， family problems， computer breakdowns， trouble at work， and all the other things ---as you’re thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test. If you keep delaying， you don’t allow yourself time for those various life events that have an adverse(不利的)effect on your ability to complete your assignment.

Dear Diary，

Here I am in the middle of a city，350miles far away from our farmhouse. Do you want to know why we move last week? Dad lost his job， and as Mom explained，”He was lucky to find other one ”.
