Patience is of great importance in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possible waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience, I’ll think of this experience.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

Teaching is more than leadership. Some of the teacher’s time and effort is directed toward instruction, some toward evaluation. But it is the teacher as a group leader who creates an effective organizational structure and good working environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place. A group that is totally disorganized, unclear about its goals, or constantly fighting among its members will not be a good learning group. The leadership pattern includes helping to form and maintain a positive learning environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place.
On the first day of class, the teacher faces a room filled with individuals. Perhaps a few closely united groups and friendships already exist. But there is no sense of group unity, no set of rules for conduct in the group, no feeling of belonging. If teachers are successful leaders, they will help students develop a system of relationships that encourages working together.
Standards and rules must be set to keep order, make sure of justice and protect individual rights, but do not contradict school policy. What happens when one student hurts another’s individual rights? Without clear regulations agreeable to the students and teachers, the classroom can become chaotic. Students may break rules they did not know existed. If standards are set without participation from the class, students may spend a great deal of creative energy in destroying the class environment or finding ways to break rules.
No matter how skillful the teacher is in uniting students and creating a positive atmosphere, the task is never complete. Regular maintenance is necessary. Conflicts arise. The needs of individual members change. A new kind of learning task requires a new organizational structure. Sometimes outside pressures such as holidays, upcoming tests or sport competitions, or family troubles cause stress in the classroom. One task for the teacher is to recreate a positive environment by helping students deal with conflict, change, and stress.
1.The underlined word “maintain” in Para.1 probably means_______.
A. keep B. build C. recreate D. evaluate
2.According to the author, the teacher should _______.
A. free students from outside pressures
B. set the standards and rules on his own
C. be responsible for a well-organized class
D. focus more on instruction and evaluation
3. From the passage we can learn that ______.
A. rules cannot be changed once they’re formed
B. outside pressures can not cause tension among students
C. if the teacher well unites his students, he then will finish his task
D. if rules are not acceptable both to students and teachers, the classroom can be a mess
4.What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To provide information for teaching.
B. To show the importance of teaching a class.
C. To study the teacher’s behavior in the classroom.
D. To compare the teacher’s behavior with the students’ in class.
Who is your role model? Normally the answer to this question would be anyone around you who you find truly inspiring. It could also be someone like J. K. Rowling or Martin Luther King. Jr. , who have proven to be strong and intelligent people.
However, in today’s world, stars are regarded as role models along with the heroes listed above, despite their intentions or actions. Teens attempt to imitate their actions for two major reasons. Firstly, to be fashionable and accepted by popular culture, and secondly because stars’ actions are so well documented by the media that it seems to grab our attention and turns it to following stars’ lives. Much of the reports about stars is shocking and exhibits bad morals or lifestyles that aren’t right for teenagers. In addition, almost everything stars do is described beyond truth to make a shocking story by taking it to the next level.
However, teens must take responsibility for their actions. We can’t always blame stars for influencing us. Only you have control over yourself and only you choose to do something. Our bodies and actions are in the hands of no one else.
Now, whoever said stars are role models? Whether they choose to be or not, stars set examples as soon as they step into the spotlight. With reporters following and recording every move they make, it is impossible not to be watched and then be imitated. These people influence teens whether or not they want to. Why should someone who doesn’t want to be setting an example set one? So，should we look up to them or to people who are true and good role models? It’s our responsibility as teens to know right from wrong, and it’s time for us to take responsibility for our actions. In doing so，we will lean toward those inspiring people that want to be setting an example, and follow in their steps to be like them.
1. According to the first paragraph, _______ can usually be role models.
A. political leaders
B. wealthy writers
C. people inspiring others
D. people with great intelligence
2.What are the major reasons for the teens to imitate stars?
A. Interest in stars’ life and expectation of getting rich.
B. Motivation for being fashionable and inspiration from popular examples.
C. Intentions to gain acceptance and encouragement from stars’ lifestyle.
D. Desires to be stylish and great influence from the mass media.
3. The author writes the passage mainly to advise the teenagers to _______.
A. have a control over their own bodies and actions
B. be responsible for their own choices and behaviors
C. follow fashionable stars’ steps to be more popular
D. choose right role models according to different reports
4.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. stars have the responsibility for teenagers’ actions
B. not all famous stars choose to influence teenagers
C. teenagers choose those inspiring people as their role models
