yes, people! we have to please the school leaders, the parents and, of course, you, the students. everyone wants good scores and its the teachers job to make sure that every student gets the best score he can. if there is a bad score, the school leaders, the parents, and even the student think the teacher is responsible. i think thats unfair but thats part of the job. so, what is the good part of being a teacher? well people! there is nothing more satisfying than to see students improve. to see young people learning, growing, becoming more confident. i always feel proud when i hear my students speaking english. and i feel very proud when someone thanks me and says that i helped them to improve their english. this teachers day i want you to make your teachers happy by remembering these three words: participate, cooperate, and appreciate. “participate” means that you “take part” in the class by listening closely and asking questions. “cooperate” means that you behave well and do the things the teacher asks you to do. and “appreciate” means that you say “thank you” once in a while for all your teachers hard work, help and kindness. if you do those three things, you will make your teachers feel that the worlds “most difficult” job is really the worlds most rewarding job.23. which could be the best title of the passage?a. the responsibilities of a teacher.b. how to be a good teacher?c. teaching - the most difficult and rewarding job in the world.d. school leaders are difficult to please.24.what makes a teachers job seemingly the most difficult one in the world?a. to prepare a good lesson.b. to see the students improve.c. to give students good scores.d. to be responsible for students scores.25.what does the underlined word appreciate in paragraph 4 most probably mean?a. work hardb. tell the truthc. be gratefuld. help each other26.according to the authors suggestion, a student should not _ if he wants to make his teachers happy.a. blame his teacher for his own bad scores b. finish an oral assignment on timec. keep quiet while the teacher is speakingd. say thank you to his teacher.d.foreign exchangea class of their ownname: susan laneage: 22place: reykjavik, iceland, 1994.cost: $7,000organization: afsexperience: “i think it was a turning point in my life. i began to understand more about my own culture by experiencing another culture and seeing how other people live.”name: sara smallage: 23place: crivitz, germany, 1996cost: $8,000organization: ef foundationexperience: “i loved the travelling and i made a lot of friends. i found the european school system to be hard but i am fluent now in german so it was worth it. i did miss my family and friends in australia but i would love to do it again.”name: leanne smytheage: 20place: minnesota, america, 1994.cost: $6,000organization: southern cross cultural exchangeexperience: “i learnt how to be really responsible. it was great to be on my own and i got on really well with the family i was with. i will definitely go back one day.”name: david linksage: 16place: stuttgart, germany, 1996.cost: $6,000organization: southern cross cultural exchangeexperience: “i wanted to try something that was very different to australia in culture. in germany everything was different but i soon got settled. the family i was with were great and i really feel as though i have a second family.”name: tom jenningsage: 21 place: conflans, france, 1995.cost: $7,000organization: southern cross cultural exchangeexperience: “there were times when it was difficult but i liked it, experiencing a different culture. you just have to play each situation as it comes. if there is one thing you learn when you are on a student-exchange program it is how to take care of yourself.”name: linda marksage: 19place: chonburi province, thailand, 1994.cost: $3,500organization: rotary internationalexperience: “its like a roller-coaster ride, there are lots of ups and downs, but you always come back for more. i had a few problems but there was always someone to turn to and that was great.”27.the writing above would probably be _.a. the records of some student-exchange programsb. the foreign students name cardsc. the notice about a visit to foreign countriesd. a novel written by many students28.the student who valued learning another language is _.a. linda marksb. sara smallc. tom jenningsd. leanne smythe29.how many students mention the culture difference they have experienced?a. threeb. four.c. five.d. six.30. which country cost the least for a student-exchange program according to the passage?a. thailandb. francec. germanyd. iceland第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能坡入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。public speaking trainingget a coach 31 , so get help. since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training thats right for you.focus on positivesany training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you arent doing well. 32 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldnt do. 33 if you find a public speaking course that looks as though its going to give you lots of dos and donts, walk away!
