I arrived in the claroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature cla.Having taught in the US for 17 years, I had no 11 about my ability to hold their attention and to 12 on them my admiration for the literature（文学）of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “13!” and the entire cla rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 14 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardne（尴尬）was over, I quickly15my calmne and began what I thought was a fact – packed lecture, sure to gain their respect – perhaps16 their admiration.I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a (n)17 of achievements.
My students 18 diaries.However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 19 by a strong sense of sadne.The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.20her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expreing a21 subject.“Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework（哲学体系）of Western thought and laid the historical 22 for all the works we’ll
study in cla,” I complained.“How23they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term, and it 24 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as 25 of my students.I thought a teacher’s job was to raise 26questions and provide enough background so that students could 27 their own conclusions.My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide 28 information as directly and clearly as poible.What a difference!

第三部分阅读理解
The space shuttle Columbia flared and broke up in the skies over Texas on Saturday, February 1,2003, killing the seven astronauts on board in what NASA and President Bush called a tragedy for the
entire
nation.
NASA
launched
an
investigation into the disaster and began searching for the astronauts\' remains.It said that although there had been some data failures it was too early to nail down a precise cause.The break-up, 16 minutes before the shuttle was due to land at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, spread poibly toxic debris(有毒的残骸) over a wide swath of Texas and neighboring states.Dramatic television images of the shuttle\'s
descent clearly showed several white trails(痕迹) streaking through blue skies after the shuttle suddenly fell apart.It was almost 17 years to the day that the Challenger shuttle exploded on Jan.28, 1986, killing all seven astronauts on board.
Take-off and re-entry into Earth\'s atmosphere are the most dangerous parts of a space miion.In 42 years of US\' human space flight, there had never been an accident in the descent to Earth or landing.Challenger exploded just after take-off.
Rescue teams scrambled to search for the remains of the crew, which included the first Israeli to fly on the shuttle, former combat pilot Col.Ilan Ramon.There were warnings that parts of a vast 120-mile-long corridor of debris could be toxic because of poisonous rocket propellant(推进器).
\"We are not ready to confirm that we have found any human remains,\" Nacogdoches County Sheriff Thomas Kerrs said.He added that among the roughly 1,000 calls reporting debris, some people said they found remains of crew members.\"The Columbia is lost.There are no survivors, „Their miion was almost complete and we lost them so close to home.„ America\'s space program will go on,\" said a grim-faced Bush in a meage broadcast on television, which included condolences to the families of the dead astronauts.
