6．"To survive around here，you've got to be tough as nails．Show them who's the boss right from the start．"These words from my teacher stayed with me through my student teaching，but I couldn't seem to put them to use．
With my student teaching behind me，I started out at a school in another part of town and was determined not to face another classroom where I didn't have control．Day one I read my new fourth grade the longest list of rules they'd ever heard．I was the teacher．I was running the show．It was the students'job to sit still，listen，and do as they were told．Much to my surprise，they did just that．Three days went by．Two weeks passed．I was in control．
By the end of September the headmaster was noticing the straight line we maintained while walking．My colleagues praised the class for getting drinks so quietly．Visitors smiled at the straight rows of hard-working，orderly students．I was pleased．
I might have felt even more successful if I hadn't felt I was burning out fast．I found myself being angry with my students，who just sat there，not fully appreciating everything I was doing for them．
I shared my frustration with Mr．Greg，who invited me to observe one of his classes．I didn't want to like his class，and at first I didn't have to．My first impression was of loud voices and of students moving around the room at will．However，the longer I stayed，the more I was amazed．Mr．Greg wasn't being"tough as nails，"and yet this wasn't really chaos（混乱） at all．Students were discussing ideas for their own writing with each other．They didn't seem to need controlling---they were controlling themselves．
"How did you get this to work？"I asked Mr．Greg later that day．"If I gave my kids a time like this，half of them would just sit there and do nothing．"
"It doesn't always work，"he said，"but most kids will cooperate if you give them enough responsibility and enough freedom．"
I thought about that long and hard．I thought I had learned that giving a class freedom could only lead to trouble．Responsibility？My students have plenty of that：they were responsible for turning in their homework and for keeping their desks in order．I certainly agreed with Greg about responsibility．
It took me a while to catch on，but the seeds had been planted．The next week I put Shelley in charge of the weekly report．Matt was asked to bring in some articles for Friday social studies．Francis was glad to take pictures for the class scrapbook（剪贴薄）．Slowly，I realized everyone could participate with a little guidance．
I was catching on to the fact that what was true for me was also true for my students：I worked hard when I felt in control of the situation．And so did they．In a classroom where the teacher did everything，it was only natural that the students stopped working hard．
It didn't happen overnight．But the classroom gradually became a happier place for all of us．I wasn't as tired because I wasn't the only one working．My students---most of them，at least---were working much harder．And they were enjoying it．
Four years later I'm still learning．I still want to run the show．It's often more difficult for me to relax，sit back，and watch a student take charge than to bear the entire responsibility myself．I have to remind myself that the order，the control，when it eventually does come，will be a whole lot easier to live with，easier and happier for all of us．

分析 文章讲述在学校如何掌控学生．
解答 65～70 BDCACB
65 B 细节理解题．由第一段中的"…but I couldn't seem to put them to use．"几第二段中的"…was determined not to face another classroom where I didn't have control．"可知，作者无法控制自己的学生，B项正确．
66 D 推理判断题．作者两个星期就掌控了一个新班级，且同事们都因作者班级学生的表现而称赞他们，作者非常的开心和满意；但是作者觉得自己特别费精力，而且当学生为作者所做的事情不为所动时，作者非常生气，觉得很沮丧、苦恼，故D项正确．67 C 细节理解题．由第五段中的"Students were discussing ideas for their own writing with each other．They didn't seem to need controlling---they were controlling themselves．"可知，学生在他的课堂上可以自己作主，不需要别人控制，故选C．
68 A 推理判断题．Mr．Greg告诉作者要给学生足够的责任，当作者掌控班级时，作者自己做了所有的事情，很自然学生就不会努力学习，由此可知，作者认为由于学生缺乏责任，所有才没有努力学习，故选A．
69 C 段落大意题．文章最后一段讲的是四年后，作者仍在学习，想知道如何掌控学生，故C项正确．
70 B 标题归纳题．作者通过讲述自己的课堂教学和同事的课堂教学介绍了两种课堂秩序：一种是老师掌控，一种是学生自己掌控，由此可知，B项作为文章标题最合适．
