A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class.Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published.I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr Davis.My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused."Wait a minute," someone might say, "are you talking about Mr Davis the retired man, or Mr Davis the respectable scholar？" The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for a briefcase (公文包) and standing before my fulllength mirror, repeating the words, "Hello, class, I'm Mr Davis." Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice.Sometimes I would sound experienced.But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr Davis was there.I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12yearold boy. I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves.I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper.I saw nine students along a long table.I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required. "All right then." I said. "Okay, here we go."Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment.I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day.I had imagined that I would sit on the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of raised hands.Every student would shout to be heard, and I would knock on something in order to silence them.I would yell, “Calm down, you'll all get your turn.One at a time, one at a time！” A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other options, I instructed the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment. 1. The author took the job to teach writing because _____. A.he wanted  to be respectedB.he had written some stories C.he wan  ted to please his fatherD.he had dreamed of being a teacher 2.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2? A.He would be aggressive in his first class. B.He was wellprepared for his first class. C.He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class. D.He waited long for the arrival of his first class. 3.Before he started his class, the author asked the students to _____. A.write down their suggestions on the paper cards B.cut maple leaves out of the construction paper C.cut some cards out of the construction paper D.write down their names on the paper cards 4.What did the students do when the author started his class? A.They began to talk. B.They stayed silent. C.They raised their hands. D.They shouted to be heard. |

| "Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher."You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James March, a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making.For years March (possibly the wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience. He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning: "Experience is respected; experience is sought; experience is explained." The problem is that learning from experience involves (涉及) serious complications(复杂化), ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book. In one interesting part of the book，for example, he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning.In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things.He says "The more accurately(精确地) reality is presented, the less understandable the story, and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is." Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher, March is also a poet, and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses.Though the book is short, it is demanding: Don'  t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons.Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life. 1. According to the text, James March is _____. A. a poet who uses experience in his writing B. a teacher who teaches story writing in university C. a researcher who studies the way humans think and act D. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions 2. According to James March, experience _____. A. is overvalued B. is easy to explain C. should be actively sought D. should be highly respected 3. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Experience makes stories more accurate. B. Stories made interesting fail to full  y present the truth.C. The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning. D. Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described. 4. What's the purpose of this text? A. To introduce a book. B. To describe a researcher. C. To explain  experiential learning.D. To discuss organizational decision making. |
