Some of the teachers time and effort isdirected toward instruction, some toward evaluation. But it is the teacher as a groupleader who creates an efficient organizational structure and good working environmentso that instruction and evaluation activities can take place. A group that is totallydisorganized, unclear about its goals, or constantly fighting among its members will notbe a good learning group. The leadership pattern includes helping to form and maintaina positive learning environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can takeplace.On the first day of class, the teacher faces a room filled with individuals. Perhaps afew closely united groups and friendships already exist. But there is no sense of groupunity, no set of rules for conduct in the group, no feeling of belonging. If teachers aresuccessful leaders, they will help students develop a system of relationships thatencourages cooperation.Standards and rules must be established that maintain order, ensure justice andprotect individual rights, but do not contradict school policy. What happens when onestudent hurts anothers individual rights? Without clear guidelines mutually agreeableto students, teachers, and administration, the classroom can become chaotic. Studentsmay break rules they did not know existed. If standards are set without input from theclass, students may spend a great deal of creative energy in mining the class environmentfinding ways to break rules.No matter how skillful the teacher is in uniting students and establishing a positiveatmosphere, the task is never complete. Regular maintenance is necessary. Conflictsarise. The needs of individual members change. A new kind of learning task requires a new organizational structure. Sometimes outside pressures such as holidays, upcoming tests or athletic contests, or family troubles cause stress in the classroom. One task for the teacher is to restore a positive environment by helping students cope with conflict, change, and stress.1.

Students need the teacher just as sheep need a shepherd.Passage 2In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds- even thousands - of miles out at sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rains, and with it the heat that is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counter-clockwise motion.The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy potential of the heat released by a hurricanes rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6- to 12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.6. An ordinary tropical storm is called a hurricane whenA. it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas B. it has reached the coastlineC. it is more than 75 miles wide D. its winds reach 75 miles per hour7. What is the worst thing about a hurricane?A. The destructive effects of water. B. The heat it releases.C. That it lasts about nine days on the average. D. Its strong winds.8. The counter-clockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about byA. the low-pressure area in the center of the storm B. the force of waves of waterC. the trade winds D. the increasing heat9.

In a hurricane _ is/are the main cause of death.A. the energy and heat it releases B. the strong winds C. downpours D. the warm airPassage 3Each year in the never-ending cycle of death and regeneration, the rains sweep across southern Asia. Between June and October strange sea winds surge over the land, drenching (浸湿) the earth with torrential downpours. This is the monsoon - a familiar word often taken to mean a violent windstorm, but in fact referring to a tumultuous (狂暴的) season of recurring rains.The monsoon is close to the very soul of the people it touches-, it permeates (渗入) the lives of the people and effects everything they do. India is especially dominated by it For three months before the monsoon rains arrive, the heat is intense, unbearable: the earth itself is dead; fanners cannot work the stone-hard fields., bare subsistence (生存) is difficult. With the rains, everything suddenly changes - India bursts into life again; fields that seemed hopelessly barren turn green and grow wildly.The rich new season is one of beauty, but to the peasant it is a beauty shot through with possible disaster. Overflowing with the great rains, the Ganges River (恒河) moves relentlessly to the sea, hiding beneath its shining but deceptive calm the horror of fields and homes overcome by flood. The horror of flood and cyclone (旋风) rides always with the monsoon clouds when they come to redeem the land. The peasants have no resource but resignation. 11.

Rain falls from clouds for the same reason anything falls to earth. The earths gravity pulls it. But every cloud is made of water droplets or ice crystals. Why doesnt rain or snow fall constantly from all clouds? The droplets or ice crystals in clouds are exceedingly small. The effect of gravity on them is minute (W ). Air currents move and lift droplets so that the net downward displacement is zero, even though the droplets are in constant motion.Droplets and ice crystals behave somewhat like dust in the air made visible in a shaft of sunlight. To the casual observer, they seem to act in a totally random fashion, moving about chaotically without fixed direction. But in fact dust particles are much larger than water droplets and they finally fall. The cloud droplet of average size is only 1/2,5oo inch diameter. It is so small that it would take sixteen hours to fall half a mile in perfectly still air, and it does not fall out of moving air at all. Only when the droplet grows to a diameter of 1/125 inch or larger can it fall from the cloud. The average raindrop contains a million times as much water as a tiny cloud droplet. The growth of a cloud droplet to a size large enough to fall out is the cause of rain and other forms of precipitation. This important growth process is called “coalescence”16.

Why dont all ice crystals in clouds immediately fall to earth.?A. they are balanced by the pressure of rain droplets.B. The effect of gravity at high altitude is random.C.

They are not affected by the force of gravityC. In still air they would fall to earthD. In moving air they fall at a speed of thirty-two miles per hour.19.

The movement of dust particles in the sunlight.20. What is the diameter of the average cloud droplet? A. 1/16 inch B. 1/125 inch C. 1/2,500 inch D.
