A
People say that George Washington, the first president of the United States, never told a lie. But it seems that the president was not without faults.
A New York library recently found that Washington borrowed two books from the library in 1789. He didn’t return them.
If he were still alive, he would have to pay the library $300,000 for being 220 years late.
On October 5, 1789, when the first president borrowed the books form the New York Society Library, he didn’t sign his name in the borrower’s book. He just wrote “president” to show who had taken them out.
The two books should have been brought back a month later but were never returned. Workers at the library realized the books were missing.
The New York Society Library doesn’t expect anyone to pay the fine. But it hopes that someone will return the books.

Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will notice the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always change according to what he is talking about.
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts(天赋) of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed 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(预先). 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 take an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is in his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
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. 
小题1:The word “audience” in the third paragraph means ________.
A.students
B.people who watch a play
C.people who are not on the stage
D.people who listen to something
小题2:Students in a good teacher’s class are always ________.
A.activeB.quietC.noisyD.sad
小题3: In what way is a teacher’s work different from an actor’s?
A.The teacher must learn everything by heart.
B.He knows how to control his voice better than an actor.
C.He has to deal with unexpected(未预料到)situations.
D.He has to use more facial expression.
小题4:From the passage, we can infer(推断) ________________.
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.
