Question

Recently a research was carried out in London，Birmingham and Leeds among teachers from different schools about student behavior management.

The majority of teachers said that behavior management is the biggest challenge they face in teaching.They are against the idea of a “one size fits all” approach to behavior management and believe that how they deal with behavior depends on their analysis of what is driving the behavior.Many teachers make the analysis in three steps.First，observe what the student is doing；then look into what drives the behavior and finally identify what is the real problem to deal with，e.g.attention seeking or being unable to follow the lessons etc..However，many teachers felt it sometimes difficult as schools did not always effectively communicate the necessary information about the students for them to do it.

The behaviors are generally divided into low，mid and high level.Teachers felt low and high level behavior was easy to analyze and deal with because low level behavior was seen as the least serious of a problem；and there is clear structure in place for dealing with high level behavior. However，there is no clear structure and effective ways to address mid?level behavior，which may cause a sense of failure in some teachers.

Teachers also felt that the laws to protect pupils have resulted in a sense of teachers having fewer rights to manage behavior.In case they deal with or be seen to deal with behavior wrongly or improperly，the results could be very serious：damage the child or teacher，especially their career.

【解析】文章大意：本文是一篇与学生教育有关的文章。大多数老师认为，管理学生行为是他们最大的挑战，如果管理不适当，可能会伤害学生或失去工作。

1.全文主要介绍了老师在管理学生行为方面的困难。故正确答案为D

2.推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句话“However，many teacher felt it sometimes difficult as schools did not always effectively communicate the necessary information about the students for them to do it.”可推断出，学校往往不能有效地提供关于学生的必要信息。

3.细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话中“Teachers felt low and high level behavior was easy to analyze and deal with...”可知，老师们觉得低级和高级行为容易分析和处理。因此，B项不正确。

4.推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句话“In case they deal with or be seen to deal with behavior wrongly or improperly，the results could be very serious：damage the child or teacher，especially their carreer”可推断出，如果老师处理问题不妥当的话，其结果是伤害学生或是失去工作。
