Question

【題目】

Ring! Ring! Ring! It was early in the morning and I knew who was calling as I reached for the telephone. I was a new substitute teacher (代課老師) trying to earn enough money to support my family.

Each morning, I waited for a call that would take me to a different classroom. The last three classes had all tested me by having bad behavior. I had responded (響應(yīng)) by being critical (批評的) and angry with the students. I didn't really want to go to work that morning, especially since it was my birthday.

Still, I answered the phone and took the job. My family needed the money and I couldn't afford to be picky (挑剔的). As I was driving to work, I decided to try harder to be the best teacher that I could be.

As the class started, the students once again tried to drive me really angry. This time, though, I was strict but fair with them. I did my best to make my lessons fun. I shared smiles, praised (表揚(yáng)) their efforts, and encouraged them to work hard. The results were amazing. My classroom soon changed. Students were laughing and learning and I finally felt like I was doing my job right. I went home feeling happy in my heart and enjoyed the rest of my birthday with my family.

I remembered something that I once read: "Every day is a new chance to begin again. Every day is your birthday." Every day is a chance for us to get things right and to live our lives with love and joy. Don't waste a single day.

這是一篇記敘文。文章講述作者因為之前三次上課學(xué)生表現(xiàn)不好而生氣，但是為了養(yǎng)活家人，仍然接受了第四次的代課工作，他上課很公平地對待學(xué)生，最終效果很好。作者以此啟發(fā)讀者每一天我們都可以重新開始。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Each morning, I waited for a call that would take me to a different classroom”可知作者每個早晨等的是電話。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“The last three classes had all tested me by having bad behavior”可知學(xué)生上課表現(xiàn)不好，上課表現(xiàn)惡劣。故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Still, I answered the phone and took the job. My family needed the money and I couldn't afford to be picky”因為要養(yǎng)活家人，作者沒得挑，所以只能接了電話接受了工作。故選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“This time, though, I was strict but fair with them”可知這一次雖然嚴(yán)格，但是公平對待學(xué)生，因此是公平的態(tài)度幫助作者在這次上課的時候獲得了良好的效果。故選D。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Every day is a new chance to begin again”每一天都是再一次開始的機(jī)會以及“Every day is a chance for us to get things right and to live our lives with love and joy. Don't waste a single day”每一天都是做正確的事充滿愛和快樂的生活的機(jī)會，不能浪費(fèi)每一天；可知作者想要告訴讀者我們在新的一天都可以重新開始。故選D。
