Is staring at a big, white wall during class making you feel dull? If you have ever walked

past math teacher Mr. Kelley's room, you may have noticed how cheerful it is throughout the year. One thing that makes his classroom so much fun is the celebrity (名人) pictures on his front wall.

Kelley's students have been writing to celebrities from across the nation asking for a photo and a few words of advice. "It really takes a lot of time and money," Kelley said. First, Kelley and his students make a list of all the celebrities to whom they want to write. Once a student picks a star, Kelley looks them up in his book of addresses to see if he can write to that person.

Writing to the stars takes a lot of time because he has to personalize each letter, print them out, and address them. In the letter, Kelley asks the celebrity to send his classes a picture with some advice he or she would give to today's youth.

Kelley takes up a collection in all of his classes and asks each student to contribute (捐) ft dollar to pay for the postage. Once Kelley mails off all the letters, the fun really begins. So far he has gotten back about 20 letters and pictures. "The only thing that isn't cool is when the celebrity sends the picture back with no advice on it, which is my entire purpose in doing this," said Kelley. When he gets at least three pictures returned, he lets his classes guess who the three stars are. He keeps score of how many celebrities each class has guessed. Jason Bryant, a student, said, "It's become a contest(竞赛) between the classes to see who can guess the most stars, and it's really fun."

What is the text about?

A.Celebrities sending photos to Kelley.

B.Celebrities giving advice to students.

C.Kelley and his classes writing to celebrities.

D.Kelley inviting celebrities to his classes.

听力原文: I live in a big old house. At night you can sometimes hear strange noises. Last Saturday I got home late. I went upstairs, washed and went to bed. My bedroom was very cold and it took me about an hour to get to Sleep Suddenly I awoke. The room was in darkness, and I could hear a sound which seemed to come from the window. I lay quite still and listened. Then I heard it again: "Scratch, scratch...scratch." It came from the waste paper basket. I turned on the light beside my bed and the noise stopped at once. I climbed out, trembling and went over to the waste paper basket. A piece of paper near the top moved ever so slightly. Then I saw a tiny gray face and two little eyes staring up into mine. It was a baby mouse. What should I do? He just sat there looking at me, as confused as I was. Carefully I picked up the basket, and carried it to the door. Then I opened the door and went back to bed. In the morning he went away.

听力原文: Have you ever seen a movie in which a building was burnt down or a bridge was destroyed? Have you seen films in which a train crashed or a ship sank into the ocean? ff so, you may have wondered how these things could happen without harming the people in the film. The man who knows the answer is the special effects man. He has one of the most important jobs in the film industry. He may be ordered to create a flood, or to make a battlefield explode. But he may also be asked to create a special effect. It is much more exciting. Once a film director wanted some fish that were swimming in a big glass bowl to stop swimming suddenly while they were seen to stare at an actor. Then the director wanted, the fish to stop staring and swim away. But fish can't be ordered to do anything. It was quite a problem. The special effects man thought about this for a long time. The result was an ides for controlling the fish with the harmless use of electricity. First he applied electricity to the fish howl causing the fish to be absolutely still. Then he rapidly reduced the amount of electricity allowing the fish to swim away. Thus he got the humorous effect that the director wanted.

(23)

A.Historical development of filmmaking.

B.Making a special film about fishing.

C.Special man in film industry.

D.Special effects in filmmaking.

My Life at Renda

I learned very quickly that being a teaching assistant (TA) at the University of Iowa would be different from being a teacher at Renmin University.

【46】______ Eyes staring, mouths open, students examined my big nose, while I was writing my name on the blackboard.

At Iowa, when my first classes began, half of my students still hadn't arrived. When everyone finally found a seat, ringing cellphones and loud yawns (哈欠) interrupted my opening remarks. It is not that American students were disrespectful. 【47】______ They were, however, far more skeptical than the students I had at Renda. The truth is I couldn't fault them for their skepticism. Undergraduates at large US universities - especially freshmen and sophomores - often have several classes a semester handled by TAs. In some cases, the TA sets the course content. 【48】______ Most have good intentions, but very few are as effective as professors.

Every teacher has to confront obstacles to learning - no matter what the culture. Students who talk during lectures, students who cheat, students who question the grade they get for a paper or project - dealing with these is all part of the job. 【49】______

The difference, I think, is that in the US I had to swallow more of my pride. 【50】______

I had a responsibility to teach them, of course, but I had to do so indirectly - as a guide who himself had a few things to learn from the students.

A. In my students' minds, I had little to offer them, except perhaps some sample questions for the mid-term exam.

B. In others, the TA works as a grader and discussion leader.

C. I encountered these in China, and I faced them in the US.

D. On the other hand, being taught by a graduate student is not necessarily bad.

E. Most were polite, or at least, indifferent

F. Back at Renda, I had walked into my first classes feeling like a celebrity.
