26、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 a distant wild area: western New Jersey.
I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling to work as an idealistic teacher. But in my class, 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. I was 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 obviously ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable. By the time my boss, my taskmaster, known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, but the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.
My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended what wasn’t happening, went on lecturing and tried to ask inspiring questions. After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.
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 sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard.
When he spoke, he said simply, “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. Still, why do you ignore their bad behavior?” We talked. He named my problems and offered solutions.
As the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivation. He helped me identify my weakness and 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.”

27、Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed,it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant(抑制药),damaging eyesight,judgement and coordination(协调),slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit,driving will be affected.
Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.
The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration(浓度) is:
•50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 mL of blood;or
•22 micrograms of alcohol per 100 mL of breath;or
•67 milligrams of alcohol per 100 mL of urine(尿液).
Drivers who cause traffic accidents,or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected(怀疑) of drink driving will be tested.
Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving offence points;or temporarily banned from driving.
The same punishment applies to (适用于)failing to provide specimens(样本)for breath,blood or urine tests without good excuse.
Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver,think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users,never drive after consuming alcohol.
【1】The first paragraph is mainly about ______.
A. the process of alcohol being absorbed
B. the damage of drinking to your body
C. the effect of drinking on driving
D. the introduction of driving skills
【2】The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “______”.
A. alcohol B. process
C. blood D. absorption
【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.
B. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 mL of breath is below the drink driving limit.
C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.
D. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.
【4】A driver suspected of drink driving ______.
A. will be punished for 10 driving offence points
B. will be forbidden to drive for 3 years
C. should provide specimens for testing
D. should pay a maximum fine of HK$25,000
28、Many parents have learned the hard way that what sounds like open communication is often the very thing that closes a youngster’s ears and mouth. One common mistake is the Lecture, the long monologue that often starts with “When I was your age” Eighteen-year-old Kelly calls lectures “long, one-side discussions in which I don’t say much.”
Kids reflexively(条件反射地)shut down in the face of a lecture. Their eyes glaze over(呆滞),and they don’t register any incoming information. Listen to 13-year-old Sarah describe her least favorite times with her mom and dad. “First, they scream. Then comes the ‘We’re so disappointed’ speech. Then the ‘I never did that to my parents’ lecture begins. After that, even if they realize how ridiculous they sound they never take it back.”
Lines like “When you have children of your own, you’ll understand” have been seriously said by parents since time immemorial. But many of our expert parents, like Bobby, a registered nurse and mother of three, feel that by falling back on clichés(陈词滥调)to justify your actions, we weaken our position.
Since kids are creatures of here and now, the far-off future has no relevance to them. Therefore, good communicators like Bobby suggest, “Give specific reasons for your actions in present language: ‘I’m not letting you go to the party because I don’t think there will be enough adult supervisions.’”
Betty, who lives in Missouri, uses an indirect approach. “I find that warnings are accepted more readily if I discuss a news article on a subject I am concerned about. My husband and I talk about it while our children absorb the information. Then they never think I’m preaching(布道).”
This really helped when Betty’s kids began driving. Instead of constantly repeating “Don’t drink; don’t speed,” she would talk about articles in the paper and express sympathy for the victims of a car crash. Betty made no special effort to draw her kids into the conversation. She depended on a teenager’s strong desire to put in his opinions---especially if he thinks he isn’t being asked for them.

29、Earlier this year, I visited Baluran National Park in eastern Java with my family. This park, named after a dead volcano, is the only place in Indonesia that looks like an African savanna (热带草原). Therefore, it is called Africa in Indonesia. You can see deer, large water buffalo, small mice, peacocks, eagles, monkeys and much more animals.
When walking in the park, we really had the feeling that we were in Africa. This was mainly due to its climate. The air was hot and dry rather than warm and wet. It was completely different from what I got used to in Indonesia and I was so surprised.
In the park, you will never get bored because the whole neighborhood is full of monkeys. But these monkeys are rude and aggressive (好斗的). Monkeys guarded our house and wanted food. When we didn’t give them food, they would rob us of food. So each of us was offered a stick by the rangers (护林员). They taught us that when the monkeys were too aggressive we must lift the stick. And it worked perfectly.
In the late afternoon, we went for a walk to explore the area. On the way, we saw many species of trees that couldn’t be found anywhere else in Indonesia. Soon the sunset approached so we decided to go back. But darkness fell about halfway through the journey. We only had poor light from our phones. And we heard only the sounds of animals around us. It was possible that hungry animals might come close to us and take us as their dinner. We started to feel scared and quickened our steps. Just when we were about to reach our breaking point, we saw a ranger, who comforted us and led us to safety.
In the evening, we talked with the ranger about his life in Baluran. And after dinner, he invited us to fish with him at sunrise. We really had a great time in the park, and I always look forward to coming back and experiencing all the excitements again.
