Sure，it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant．

And yes，it's good to get along with your teacher because，in general，it's smart to learn how to understand the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life．

"But really，there's one super﹣important reason why you should get along with your teacher．When you do，learning bursts right open，"says Evelyn Vko，a longtime teacher who writes an education column called"Teacher Says"for the Washington Post newspaper．

In fact，kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more，but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help．This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests．When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher，he or she can be someone to turn to with problems，such as problems with learning or school life，such as bullying．

As a kid in a primary or middle school，you're at a wonderful stage in your life．You're like a sponge （海绵），able to absorb lots of new and exciting information．On top of that，you're able to think about all this information in new ways．Your teacher knows that，in most cases，is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you make it．Remember，teachers are people，too，and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching you．That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place﹣to teach!

Some kids may be able to learn in any situation，whether they like the teacher or not．But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher，and if things aren't going well，they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class．

1.In the passage，the author mainly talks about ．

A. how to get along well with others

A. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do．

B. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn't like to accept their teaching．

C. Though few，there are still some students who can learn even if they don't like the teacher．

D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies．

American schools are quite different from those in China.In America,at the beginning of the term,students must select their subjects and teachers first.

Selecting is very important for your marks in America.So at the first term,don’t select too many subjects,or you’ll feel very nervous and tired.Then you have to ask for some teaching plans.There is some information about subjects,time arranging,marks and textbooks.At the same time,you must choose the teachers.Different teachers have different teaching methods.If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade,many students will give up choosing him,because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework,too many exams and give too low grades.There is another thing after you select the subjects and the teachers.How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard.The textbooks in America are very expensive.Each one is about $30-$50.In order to save money,many students buy some used textbooks,and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.
