A. race B. created C. shaped D. portion E. primary F. dragged G. dramatic H. collapse I. delicious J. individual Easter Island is a famous and very isolated island in the southeast Pacific Ocean. It is well-known for its giant stone statues, the moai, 41 sometime between the years 1000 and 1700 – likely towards the earlier 42 of that range. These statues number 887, and at one point there were about 10 islanders for every statue, for an island population of 10,000 or so. The first and only people ever to live on Easter Island were from an 43 group of Polynesians that, once finding Easter, then had no contact with any other 44 . Easter Island is often taken as a case study of civilization’s collapse. In the 17th-18th century there was a 45 decline in civilization. There were also numerous civil wars that would have been extremely bloody. Evidence indicates that chickens and rats became the 46 diet of the islanders. By the time the Europeans arrived in 1722, there were barely 1,000 inhabitants on island. Before the 47 of Easter Island’s civilization in the 17th century, there was a Golden Age, during which the two-ton moai statues were constructed. These statues had eyes painted white and were all pointed towards the sea. The islanders lacked metal tools, and 48 the statues using only stone tools. The statues were 49 to their present locations by large wooden frames. Given how few people there were on the island and how huge the statues are, it has long been a mystery whether Easter Islanders had any special assistance from extraterrestrials. 【查看更多】

    　　I looked out again. The ground was rushing up at us with shocking speed. We were already so low that I could make out cars and even people.

    “It's only a slight emergency,”a stewardess told me with a tense smile.

    Suddenly there was a sickening bump and we were rushing along the runway at a terrifying speed. The brakes screeched (发出尖锐刺耳的声音). The engines roared even more loudly. We came to a trembling stop. The cabin crew quickly opened the emergency exits and the passengers began sliding down huge, stocking-like chutes (滑道) to the ground. A fire engine was already putting out the fire in one engine. I had to shake the old lady violently to wake her up.

    　　“What's wrong? Surely the journey isn't over already! I mean, have we got to New York?”she asked sleepily.

    　　In 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I look what I could get － a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area：western New Jersey．My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen－teaching English．

    　　School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country．Waa this rural area really New Jersey? My students a week off when hunting season began．I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms．I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time．

    　　But, still, I was teaching English．I worked hard, taking lime off only to eat and sleep．And then there was my sixth-grade class－seventeen boys and five girls who were only six yean younger than me．I had a problem long before I knew it．I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher．I wanted to make literature come alive and lo promote a love of the written word．The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room．

    　　In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior．So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave ray students positive attention．It sounds reasonable, but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable．By the time ray boss, who was also ray taskmaster known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise．

    　　My boss sat in the back of the room．The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines．I just pretended it all wasn't happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions．My boss, sitting in the back of the room, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger．After twenty minutes he left, silently．Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes．

    　　I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him．I wondered if he would let me finish out the day．I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door．

    　　He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard．I said nothing．All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine．

    　　When he spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them．”

    　　“You had nothing to say to them," he repeated．“No wonder they're bored．Why not get to the meal of the literature and stop talking about symbolism．Talk with them, not at them．And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior?” We talked．He named ray problems and offered solutions．We role-played．He was the bad student, and I was the forceful, yet, warm, teacher．

    　　As the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivations．He helped me identify my weaknesses and my strengths．In short, he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emerson's words：“The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil．”

    　　Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school．Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year, the school is my home now．
