第二部分 閱讀理解(共10小題;每小題2分,滿分20分)
A
Teaching is an universally acknowledged important profession for various reasons. Teaching in China also sees a steadily increased importance by and by, which makes it a most-wanted job choice for more and more people.
I dare say those who want to get employed in the field don’t know much about teaching to some degree or at least they are making a decision hurriedly. They are only led or misled to choose it to some degree by the mass media(大眾媒體).
Teaching enjoys a long history in the history of China and it has been doing great good to the development of people’s good virtue and morality(美德). Yet it takes far longer time for teaching to show its real value so that some of the people think low of it and turn their attention away from it.
Teachers, who are to teach, therefore, are experiencing the same treatment. Everyone realizes teaching and teachers’ importance but few want to be on their side. Whenever there is a problem concerning education or schooling, teachers will be blamed and criticized. People have got no possibility to blame the system or the policy-making body but they can do that face to face with a teacher. To make things worse, the expectation from parents on their kids is so high that nearly every parent is thinking that his or her kid is the best, which is surely not the case in reality. The result of the gap(分歧)between teachers and parents is that the teachers will take the responsibility because parents have the right to “buy” what they want with the money they have paid. Is the money in the teachers’ pockets? Is there anything people can’t buy with money?
Teachers’ work is the work on people who will think at their will. Can they get all the students into believing in them only by talking to the students? What else can teachers do to help?
Learn to understand and be patient.
36. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. The History of Teaching
B. Teaching and Teachers
C. Teaching—a Very Important Job
D. Criticism on Teaching and Teachers
37. What can you infer from the first two paragraphs?
A. Teaching is very important.
B. More people who want to be teachers know nothing about teaching at all.
C. China places teaching in a more important position.

Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had not legs but stumps(殘肢)that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People looked at him strangely. Children laughed at him and called him “Ape Man”(猿人)because his arms practically dragged on the ground.
Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from high school, he did part-time job while going to college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheel chair.
Hank felt himself got cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs(假腿). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be — a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.
Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room , and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.
When World War II came, he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and trained along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless.
This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs.

To be a good teacher, you need some of the talents of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.
Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class: he stands the whole time while he is teaching; he walks around, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, you will hear the loudness and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.
The fact that a good teacher has some of the talents of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand(預(yù)先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.
A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they follow orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He can’t learn his part by heart, but he must invent it as he teaches.
I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.
43. The word “audience” in the fourth paragraph means ___ .
A. students
B. people who watch a play
C. people who not on the stage
D. people who listen to something
44. A good teacher ___ .
A. stands or sits still while teaching
B. must have a good voice
C. knows how to act on the stage
D. knows how to hold the interest of his students
45. Which of the following is true according to the writer?
A. Teachers have to learn by heart what they are going to say in class.
B. A teacher cannot decide beforehand what exactly he is going to say in class.
C. A teacher must speak louder than an actor.
D. A teacher must have a better memory than an actor.

When Should a Leader Apologize and When Not?
Why Difficult?
When we wrong someone we know, even not purposely, we are generally expected to apologize so as to improve the situation. But when we’re acting as leaders, the circumstances are different. The act of apology is carried out not only at the level of the individual but also at the level of the institution(工作單位,機(jī)構(gòu)). It is a performance in which every expression matters and every word becomes part of the public record. Refusing to apologize can be smart, or it can be stupid. So, readiness to apologize can be seen as a sign of strong character or as a sign of weakness. A successful apology can turn hate into personal and organizational harmony—while an apology that is too little, too late, or too obviously strategic can bring on individual and institutional ruin. Then, what is to be done? How can leaders decide if and when to apologize publicly?
Why Now?
The question of whether leaders should apologize publicly has never been more urgent. During the last decade or so, the United States in particular has developed an apology culture—apologies of all kinds and for all sorts of wrongdoings are made far more frequently than before. More newspaper writers have written about the growing importance of public apologies. More articles, cartoons, advice columns(專欄), radio or television programs have similar suggestions about the subject of private apologies.
Why Bother?
Why do we apologize? Why do we ever put ourselves in situations likely to be difficult, embarrassing, and even risky? Leaders who apologize publicly could be an easy target. They are expected to appear strong and capable. And whenever they make public announcement of any kind, their individual and institutional reputations are in danger. Clearly, leaders should not apologize often or lightly. For a leader to express apology, there needs to be a good, strong reason. Leaders will publicly apologize if and when they think the costs of doing so are lower than the costs of not doing so.
Why Refuse?
Why is it that leaders so often refuse to apologize, even when a public apology seems to be in order? Their reasons can be individual or institutional. Because leaders are public persons, their apologies are likely to be personally uncomfortable and even professionally risky. Leaders may also be afraid that admission(坦白)of a mistake will damage or destroy the organization for which they are responsible. There can be good reasons for being tough in tough situations, as we shall see, but it is a high-risk strategy.
