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.

小题1:A
小题2:A
小题3:C
小题4:B

It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves dancing in the cool wind. I felt lonely and life is uninteresting. But one day, the sound of a violin came into my ears. I was so surprised that I ran out to see where it was from. A young girl, standing in the wind, was lost in playing her violin.
I had never seen her before. The music was so wonderful that I forgot who I was.
Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the same place and I was the only listener. It seemed that I no longer felt lonely and life became interesting. We didn't know each other, but I thought we were already good friends.
One day, when I was listening, the sound suddenly stopped. The girl came over to me.
"You must like violin." she said.
"Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?" I asked.
Suddenly, a sad expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.
"I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It is your listening every day that has encouraged me." she said.
"In fact, it is your music that has given me those meaningful days." I answered. "Let us be friends."
The girl smiled and I smiled.
I never heard her play again in my life. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the girl. She is like a dream; so short, so bright that it makes life beautiful.
There are many kinds of friends. Some are always with you, but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but are close to you. I shall always think of those golden days and the girl with the violin. She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.

On very cold winter days , a group of Japanese children travelled a long way and arrived at a small island where nobody lived. After setting up a camp, they caught fish in the sea, and walked on the snow to find firewood , wild fruit and fresh water. Then they made a fire to do some cooking. They were not homeless children or modern Robinson. They were all pupils from a primary school and campers of special “ hardship (艰苦) camp”.
Every year primary and middle schools in Japan organize such camps to train the children’s spirit of bearing (忍受) hardship. Such places as thick forests and far-off mountains are chosen as camp places.
The Japanese education circles usually think it necessary to give children chances of suffering hardships. Children in Japan now may hardly find times of hardships, because of the rapid growth of national economy and improvement in the people’s living conditions.
