-完型填空I, for one, am from ready to use online courses for mylearning. Dont get me wrong. I am very happy about all the communication andlearning opportunities the courses have given us. But for me thoseopportunities should not be used to replace classroom activities. In otherwords, they are only tools to help me learn what has already been served in the classroom.I love the classroom. I love classmates. There are fortystudents in my class right now, and I think its great. I even love havingclassmates who are better than me. And, lets not forget the smell of ink onpaper , the sound of chalk on a blackboard, the hardness of a wooden bench orthe heat inside the classroom in early September. I love it all. But most of all,I love having a teachera “real live” teacher. I get excited when I am in theclassroom with a good teacher. I learn in a way that has been proven to work. Iam given insight not only into a certain subject, but also into the world.What makes having a classroom teacher so .special? A goodteacher pushes me to succed. A good teacher rewards me with praise when Ihave done well and stays positive and gives me hope when I am down .Idont believe that a teacher using a virtual classroom can .reach out tome in the same way. A teacher communicating.through the Internet cannot sharethe same type of relation a classroom teacher and student share.I guess that I am lucky to have access to so many excellentclassroom teachers. I will never forget the kindness and commitment thatthose teachers have shown me. Their examples make it hard for me to accept away of learning that does not include them. You can call me “old-fashioned”,but as long as there is a classroom, thats where I will be learning.

He had both elbow on his desk, his head was resting on one hand and his other hand was cupped about his mouth. I knew that he was keeping his office hours and that student participation was encouraged ,but all the same , I was afraid to approach .Then ,as I turned to leave , my foot banged against the bottom of the door ,startling me and causing the professor to look up. His eyes had simply moved from the desk to me, but the rest of his physical body remained the same .He invited me in without gesture, just a “Come in. What is it that you need?” There was little if any warmth or tone in his voice; it wasnt exactly encouragement Despite being intimidated, I made a conscious effort to relax and persuaded myself to smile and enter the room. “Mr.Murphy ,” the pitch of my voice rose as I begin my introduction I am sorry to interrupt .my name is Peter . I am in your second-period English class.“Peter did you say it was?” he replied. His reaction disappointed me. It was apparent that I had not made much of an impression with the presentation I made in class last week. he said my name as if he would not have remembered it without my having stated it for him first as though he were no more impressed than if he had encountered a beggar on the street He continued ,”Do you have something you want to discuss with me , or do you just stop by to visit ?In fact, I had stopped by to visit,but I was no longer feeling up to it and was looking for a fast exit . It seemed that the invitation he had extend in class ,” Drop by my office for a visit anytime .My door is always open .” was just a(n) empty gesture probably required by the school. I reach inside my bag and pulled out my English language textbook. I figured I can ask him a quick question rather than try to have a meaningful conversation.5 When they gave us our first sex education lecture, AIDS was not part of the speech. It was 1981, and (1)evenbesidealthough there might have been a couple of news stories about a new disease, AIDS wasn't a real (2)encounterdiseaseconcern yet. Over the (3)nextaftersame couple of years, news stories about AIDS became very common, (4)whyhowevertherefore, they did not provide very much helpful information. (5)Instead ofEvenRather, the media was happy to report stories that confirmed (6)whateverwhereverwhichever racial or sexual prejudices we may have had. There were stories about monkeys in Africa (7)werebeingbe the source of the disease and it was most commonly believed that only sex between two men could spread the disease. The understanding was (8)sowhichthat the only protective steps someone would need to take were to stay away from gay (同性恋的) men and monkeys. This lack (9)inofwith serious information and education about the disease led to prejudice and unsafe sexual behaviors by many.(10)By the wayBy the timeBy the age I reached college, the cat was out of the bag, men and women having sex together could also be (11)infected withcaught withhad with the disease. Sex education had taken (12)aboutofon a more serious meaning; now it was about protecting yourself from disease. Still the prejudices (13)remaineddisappearedsolved. Although common contact between individuals including kissing was considered safe, most were afraid to (14)come aboutcome tocome in contact with others who had AIDS. It is commonly believed that prejudice kept the government (15)byofffrom acting more quickly to offer better education and do scientific research. Since that time, education and funding for research has improved, but prejudice and misinformation cost us a lot of time in getting started.

I have heard just about as much complaint about todays workplace I can take Contrary to the view young people seem to have that things were better for prior generations, the fact is that there have never been so many greats job for people wanting to enter the workforce. There are educational opportunities that have never exist before , and the standard of living is getting better all the time. Frankly, people who lack courage and commitment shouldnt blame anyone but themselves for not taking the opportunities that are there for them.My first job was working as a trashman . I hauled trash for six years before I got promoted to the position of manager. I wasnt scared of hard work. By the time the day was finished , my shoulder would hurt ,but I never complainted I even assisted others and worked extra hours when I was needed .Unfortunately , young people today seem to be lacking the same desire I had to work hard. I can boast that I never quit a job without being offered a better one. We cant all start out at the top. Most of us need to pay out dues and work from the bottom up. After managing the small company for which I hauled garbage I found a job with the city public works office managing a small department. Now ,after 25 years of working in the garbage business , I manage all of the citys trash removal. Along the way I learned that a job well done is never looked down on, and the person who does it will always triumph.Where is the “can do” attitude that makes our country great ? It doesnt matter what you do, as long as you work hard and do your best .Young people need to commence with finding a line of employment that needs them , and quit looking for perfection in their initial position. If work were supposed to be enjoyable, it wouldnt be called “work”. 7I was walking from the door of my apartment building to the corner store. All of a sudden, a slight man wearing a stocking cap leaped from behind a (1)parkingparkparked car and stuck a pistol, or at least what I thought was a gun, into my side. My heart beat fast, and I became very light-headed. It was (2)even thoughas ifjust as I was in a dream and my body was not attached to my brain. (3)TechnicallyConsciouslyInstinctively, I raised my hands in the air, though he didn't tell me to do so or say anything at all; he just reached around and (4)searchedexploredinquired the back pocket of my trousers for anything (5)valuableoriginalworthy.The next thing I knew was he was gone, and (6)alsosotoo was my wallet. And then I just stood there with my heart pounding and my head spinning (头晕) for (7)thatwhatwhich seemed to be an eternity. I heard the footsteps and the cough of a man walking past, which then (8)felldisappearedfaded away. I became more (9)consciousconcernedanxious of where I was, and then, all at once, I could feel my legs (10)tremblestrembledtrembling. I moved sideways to the steps of the closest building and sat down. Other victims may have felt angry or frightened, but I was just confused. I hadn't been (11)hurtdamagedrobbed or even hit. He wanted my money, so he took my money and left. There was no "Give me your money (12)andorbut I'll shoot" like in the movies. He was fast, he was silent, and he was gone. I tried to remember the (13)behaviorssituationsdetails of what had just happened, but it all happened (14)sotoosuch fast that it seemed to have not happened at all. I wasn't even sure if the man had a gun or not. I wouldn't be able to (15)determineidentifydecide the offender even if he were standing right in front of me.A few minutes later, I called and (16)representedreportedreferred the robbery to the police operator. An officer called me back after an hour for (17)fartheranotheradditional details. He asked me if there was anything unusual about the man who had (18)robbedstolenharmed me, but I couldn't accurately describe the man. The next day, I went to the police station and looked through albums of photos of criminals who had (19)engagedmadecommitted similar robberies. (20)AccuratelyPreciselyApparently, there h
