A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features(特定 )as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there in and out glancing at one piece reading another article all the way through , reading just a few paragraphs of the next.A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性 ) , its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的 ) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper . For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.
1. A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its______.

A. people scan for the news they are interested in

3. It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers ______.
A. apply reading techniques skillfully

A.How a good teacher acts in class |
B.Acting: natural expression of fixed words and movements |
C.Teaching: a student-centered creative process |
D.Similarities between teaching and acting |
F. A good teacher, not necessarily a good actor
61. ____________________________
To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts 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.
62. ____________________________
Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit unmoved before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, his hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feeling. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note if his voice always changes according to what he is talking about.
63. ____________________________
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts 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, and even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.
64. ____________________________
A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
65. ____________________________
As a good teacher presently, you must take your audience as your friends, take care of them, help them and give them enough freedom and space. I have known many teachers who are fine actors in class but are unable to take part in a stage play because their brains can’t keep discipline: they cannot keep strictly to what another has written.

请认真阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
I love spending weekends with my grandparents. I felt especially welcome and 36 in Grany’s small kitchen. It was there that we had conversations and Grany always seemed to include a bit of 37 with every recipe she prepared.
I remember one Saturday morning 38 . After breakfast I asked Grany, “What kind of soup are you making today?” “Vegetable beef,” she answered, “And you can help by chopping some carrots and celery.” As I slowly peeled carrots, I 39 , “I’ve got to give an oral work report next week and I’m 40 .”
Grany looked at me and said, “Most people are afraid of 41 speaking. But remember, the only thing you have to fear is fear 42 .”
“But I don’t like standing up in front of everybody. 43 I forget what I’m going to say?”
“Have you prepared 44 ?” asked Grany.
“Well, no. That would be a lot of 45 work.”
“But do you like my soup?” she asked. Soup? I wondered. I thought we were talking about my life.
“I love your soup, Grany.” I said.
“Well, you know, a lot of people don’t 46 homemade soup these days. They say it’s too much trouble. First you have to cook a nice broth(肉汤)and then chop all the vegetables into bite-size pieces.”
“But I don’t 47 a little trouble,” she said. “It adds variety and flavor to my soup and to my life. My soup would be 48 bland(淡而无味的)without the vegetables, and so would my life if it didn’t have the little 49 .”
After pausing she added, “Besides, you have to remember God knows exactly 50 he’s cooking up in your life. You’ve got to trust him with the recipe.” She smiled and then walked to the sink to start washing the dishes.
While I help Grany 51 , I thought as well what she had said. I still had a few days to 52 my oral report.
That Saturday, Grany gave me food for thought as well as a bowl of her homemade soup. Every spoonful of Grany’s masterpiece was 53 with delicious bits of meat and vegetables. As I enjoyed the meal with my grandparents, 54 my problems didn’t seem quite so big any more. I was determined to work on them. Grany had said hard work 55 . Maybe I too could turn a little trouble into something as special as Grany’s homemade soup.
