I got into the teaching profession by choice. I was then in 9th grade, when my mathematics teacher asked me to take a class for a few students to whom the subject seemed difficult. And believe me, I enjoyed the teaching. I never knew teaching would be so interesting. I loved my freshmen and was delighted to teach my so-called students who came up with lots of good questions.

After my post graduation, I worked as a software developer with a public sector(部门) in Bangalore for a few years. But I realized that no job could provide me the satisfaction that I experienced while teaching and training. In fact, I feel it was a timely realization for me to choose the teaching profession. I applied to a few colleges, and finally I was chosen as a “Lecturer”, and I had to lecture graduate and post-graduate students in a college.

On the first day, I was nervous thinking that I had to teach the senior classes. But now I can say that taking lectures was one of the best experiences of my life. I was a Computer Science and Information Technology Lecturer, but I tried to help my students with subjects that were not within my domain(范围). It was a new feeling to me every morning before going to the classes. I used to feel energized and excited thinking that the class would be lit up with bright faces to greet me, “Good morning, Madam”.

To me each day was a new beginning, with new feelings, new experiences and new queries(疑问). I loved to explore their young minds, read their inquisitive faces when a particular topic seemed tough. It was very challenging to motivate them to take part in the classroom, think critically, question and also respect others’ point of view. Though few things never seemed easy, it was very exciting to assure them that they really can. That is the reason, I love to teach.

1.From the first paragraph, we can know .

A. the author’s maths teacher was strict with him

B. the author felt happy to teach the students

C. not all the teachers like students to ask questions

D. the author in the beginning thought teaching boring

2.Why did the author refuse working as a software developer?

A. Because the salary was lower than that being a teacher.

B. Because the working conditions were quite bad.

C. Because he didn’t feel the same satisfaction as being a teacher.

D. Because he wanted to try more chance to challenge his value.

3.Which of the following statements is TURE?

A. The author looked down upon being a teacher at first.

B. The author taught knowledge about various subjects.

C. The author found teaching was easier than any jobs.

D. The author encouraged students to take part in outdoor activities.

4.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Choosing your job according to your interest

C. An unforgettable teaching experience

D. Why I love to work as a teacher

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

No personal success, achievement, or goal, can be realized without self-discipline. 1. It is the ability to control one’s impulses, emotions, desires and behavior. To possess it is to be able to make the decisions, take the actions, and carry out your plan regardless of the obstacles, discomfort, or difficulties, that may come your way.

How to develop self-discipline? We’ll explore it together.

· Start with baby steps. No process takes place overnight. 2. So, begin by making the decision to go forward and learning what it takes to get there.

· Learn what motivates you and what your bad triggers are. 3. Sometimes it is very difficult to fight off urges, so know the areas where your resistance is low and how to avoid those situations. Remove the temptations and surround yourself with encouraging items such as motivating slogans and pictures of what you want to achieve.

· Make certain behaviors a routine. Once you have decided what’s important to you and which goals to strive for , establish a daily routine that will help you achieve them. 4. They can put you in a negative frame of mind and hinder(阻碍)your self-discipline. A poor attitude can also be a bad habit.

___5.___ Michael Jordan has always maintained that his greatness as a basketball player came as much from his willingness to work hard at his craft, as it did his talent.
