My Life at Renda
I learned very quickly that being a teaching assistant(TA)at the University of Iowa would be different from a teacher at Renmin University.【B1】______Eyes staring, mouths open, students examining my big nose, hands nervous, people whispering while I wrote my name on the blackboard.
At Iowa, when my first classes began, half my students still hadn’t arrived. When everyone finally found a seat, ringing cellphones and loud yawns(哈欠)interrupted my opening remarks.
It is not that American students were disrespectful.【B2】______They were, however, far more skeptical than the students I had at Renda. The truth is I couldn’t fault them for their skepticism. Undergraduates at large US universities—especially freshmen and sophomores—often have several classes a semester handled by TAs. In some, cases, the TA sets the course content. 【B3】______Most have good intentions, but only a few are as effective as flesh-and-blood professors.
Every teacher has to confront obstacles to learning—no matter what the culture. Students who talk during lectures, students who cheat, students who question the grade they get for a paper or project—dealing with these is all part of the job.【B4】______
The difference, I think, is that in the US I had to swallow more of my pride.【B5】______
I had a responsibility to teach them, of course, but I had to do so indirectly—as a guide who himself had a few things to learn from the students.
A Back at Renda, I had walked into my first classes feeling like a celebrity.
B In my students’ minds, I had little to offer them, except perhaps some sample questions for the mid-term exam.
C In others, the TA works as a grader and discussion leader.
D I encountered these in China, and I faced them in the US.
E On the other hand, being taught by a graduate student is not necessarily bad.
F Most were polite, or at least, indifferent.
【B2】
选项
答案
F
解析
前两句讲了美国学生的一些表现:上课迟到、老师开始讲课时手机铃声响起、打哈欠等,似乎对老师不很尊敬。但作者认为美国学生并非对老师不尊敬,大多数人还是很有礼貌的,如果说他们对教师缺少敬意的话,他们至少也不会不尊重教师。
