Question

 I did not know what to expect as I walked into my beautiful classroom. I felt like a child who was entering the school for the first time. The smell of brand new school supplies tilled the classroom,and I couldn't stop thinking of what would happen on my first day as a teacher.

  I felt prepared,since I had just gone through one week of training. I had learnt how to create a suitable lesson plan and how to help my students. Yet,none of that prepared me for classroom management. Now,this was a real challenge for me. As the students started to pour into the hallways, I began to grow more and more nervous. By the time my classroom was filled with learn?ers，my heart felt as if it was going to pound its way out of my chest. I tried to calm myself down. I kept thinking to myself that not all students could be bad. "Well,here goes nothing.”was my exact thought as I closed the door behind me and walked to the front of the classroom.

  It was a class of about twenty-one students,my first class that I would ever teach！When I reached the front of the classroom,it just felt so natural to me. I began talking to the students, and they responded to my questions. They even laughed at my lame jokes. Despite(盡管) all the sweating and nerves,I was able to overcome my very first challenge: my first day as a teacher.

  Although I was worried about classroom management,my students turned out to be the best students. They taught me that classroom manage?ment could be finished through thoughtful planning,classroom engagement and surely a big old heart. Yes,believing in yourself is important. Overco?ming challenges can be difficult,but doing so helps you learn life lessons.

Answer 1

作者第一次給學生上課，心里特別緊張。他擔心學生搗亂。由于他做了充分的準備，他戰勝了第一次挑戰。他深有體會：課堂組織是由良好的計劃、互動與自信心來完成的。

1.C細節理解題。根據第二段的"Yet,none of that pre-pared me for classroom management."可知作者認為自己在之前沒有為課堂組織做準備。因此選C。

2.D細節理解題。根據第二段的"I kept thinking to my?self that not all students could be bad. ' Well, here goes nothing.' was my exact thought..."可知作者的愿望是班上的學生不要搗亂。

3.B推理判斷題。根據第三段的"I began talking to the students,and they responded to my questions."可知作者用提問題的方式教學，讓學生回答問題，即讓學生積極地發言。因此選B。

4. b推理判斷題。由第三段的"Despite(盡管) all the sweating and nerves, I was able to overcome my very first challenge... "n了知作者在上課期間是緊張的。其余選項與原文意思不符。

5. A詞義猜測題。由其后文"Yes， believing in yourself is important."的意思可知它是對a big old heart的進一步說明，故a big old heart意為"強大的信心"。
