单元检测（二） My New Teachers

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　If I asked you to name your favorite teachers from kindergarten through graduate school, it would be easy to answer, wouldn't it? It would also be an enjoyable question to answer because it would bring back so many good memories of wonderful people who've touched both your personal life and your professional life. You would be thinking about people who not only taught you things of value, but inspired you as well. Quite possibly they inspired you to become a teacher.

　　My classmates and I were asked this question on my first day in the teaching credential (证书) program at the University of San Francisco many years ago. I thought of Sister Mary Anne, who taught me in elementary school. I thought of Mrs. Padgett and Mrs. Kofford, English teachers, in high school. I thought of Dr. Lincoln and Dr. Campbell, history professors, who taught me in college. Then came this question. "What do they all have in common？" asked Dr. McSweeney. I stood up and said, "They all love what they are doing. They have great enthusiasm for teaching." All of my classmates nodded their heads in agreement.

　　That was apparently the answer Dr. McSweeney expected. He said, "I ask that question every year, and I always get the same answer." He went on to explain that he opened with that question because it got future teachers to think about what separates the great teachers from the not­so­great. He said, "We all remember our favorite teachers - the ones who had passion (激情) and enthusiasm, the ones who loved and enjoyed what they were doing. We want each of you to become that kind of teacher. Always remember those special teachers." It's a statement I never forgot once during my thirty­five years in the classroom.
