Question

【题目】There is a story told about how Neil set about winning over one particular boy. The boy was always causing trouble and clearly regarded all teachers 【1】 a hostile eye. On one occasion, Neil, out taking a 【2】 had just rounded a comer when he came across the boy playing on his own. The boy, not noticing he was no longer 【3】，picked up a stone and threw it through one of the school windows. Turning, he saw Neil. Instead of finding himself 【4】 at angrily as he expected, the boy was 【5】 to see Neil bend down, pick up a stone and hurl it at another window. The boy had to 【6】 —to get the window repaired, so did Neil. 【7】 he thought this a small price to pay for 【8】 a bond between himself and the boy, whose 【9】 improved afterwards，

Neil was a remarkable character who knew just when to be 【10】 and just when to adopt a lighter touch when handling children. Not everyone is so 【11】 . Willie Russell, the 【12】，likes to talk about the time when he had freshly 【13】 from teacher training college and had just begun to work as a teacher. On his first day at the school he was left to do playground duty on his own, rather a( n) 【14】 experience for one so new to the job. Surrounded by children at morning break, he turned to see one of the children thro-wing a stone at a school window. When the boy saw that he had been 【15】 by a teacher, his face fell. 【16】 for this boy, Russell remembered the story about Neil. Stooping down he picked up a stone and propelled(投掷）it through another window. Turning to smile proudly at the boy, his satisfaction was suddenly shattered by the sound of dozens of windows being 【17】 by flying stones.

Unfortunately he had failed to take into account the difference between his 【18】 and the one which Neil had faced, namely that he and the boy were not alone. It was at this point in his career that Russell decided that perhaps he was not quite cut out to be a teacher. Deciding after this that he was not suited to teaching he left to 【19】 playwriting. Most of his plays are very imaginative and 【20】 . A bit like this story,in fact.

【解析】文中的尼尔是一位很会驾取学生心理的老师：面对一故意打破学校玻璃的顽劣男孩，他仿效其行为从而和对方拉近了距离，进而对其施加影响，改善了他的行为。而罗素在处理类似的情况时却遇到不同的结果……

【1】惹是生非的学生常会用敌意的眼光看老师。

【2】从下文尼尔转过拐角可知他是在散步。

【3】尼尔在场，那个男孩不再是独自一人了。

【4】从下文得知尼尔没像男孩预料的那样对他大声喊叫。

【5】看到老师也捡起石头硒玻璃，男孩当然很吃惊。

【6】砸坏玻璃当然要自掏腰包赔付。

【7】从下文看此处应是转折关系。

【8】用一块玻璃作为代价和男孩建立了纽带，花费当然不高。

【9】应该是男孩的品行在以后得到了提高。

【10】尼尔是位很出色的老师，对待学生他知道何时应该严厉。firm此处意为“严厉的”。

【11】从下文可知，并非所有人都像尼尔那样成功。

【12】从文章最后几句得知罗素改行创作戏剧，可知他是个剧作家。

【13】该空应是从教师进修学院毕业。

【14】值班维持操场秩序对刚毕业的老师来说具有挑战性。

【15】男孩看到被老师认出，脸色阴沉了下来。spot此处意为“认出。”

【16】罗素记起了尼尔的故事，对男孩来说是个幸事：他可以免受惩罚。

【17】出乎罗素意料的是，数扇窗户被学生的飞石击中。

【18】罗素没有考虑到当时他和尼尔遇到的情况不同。

【19】认为自己不适合当老师，后来他转行从事戏剧创作。

【20】他的大部分戏剧富有想象力，也很滑稽可笑，有点像本篇故事所述。
