Team Work
The class teacher/s and student/s need to work like a team, with the teacher being the coach who needs to continually encourage, motivate and intrigue each and every player, demanding high performance while ensuring that no individual gets bogged down in detail or overwhelmed with targets. This is particularly difficult in the sessions immediately after mimicking has been introduced since students become easily confused and tired when they first tackle mimicking. It is essential that each and every student understand why he or she are doing each activity, without taking undue amounts of time to explain. Whether the target is speed, creativity, effective use of repetition, making short clear sentences or so on, it is essential that every student is aware that the particular target is a guideline, and may be modified by them to suit their needs.
The need for speed is not a transparent goal and causes many cognitive problems for students since few realize the link between the ability to talk fast and easily understandable pronunciation and meaning, nor do most quickly realize that they are actively learning vocabulary items or good syntax through the peer-on- peer activities. Indeed it will be quite some time before these processes become self-evident and even more so in seminar classes. It's relatively easy to get most students intellectually and physically engaged in actively learning with verbally active classes while the real trick is to get everyone interested. If it's boring for the teacher it will probably be even more so for the students, especially for those who want cognitive understanding before they tackle something. These students are not recalcitrant, they reasonably expect to understand what they're doing and clearly identify their targets before they do anything. It is up to the "coach" to make sure that participants see the relevance of what they're doing and are actively interested in achieving either their own personal goals, the activity targets, or both through doing the activity in an active way.
Which of the following statements is true, according to the author?
A. Mimicking is the most difficult task for the teacher and students as well.
B. The teacher has to explain to the students without taking up too much time.
C. The sessions are essential to the students' carrying out the particular activities.
D. Once the target of the activity is settled, nothing should change any more.
听力原文: At first Muhammad Ali-Cassius Clay had no intention of boxing. After his bike was stolen, in the month of October 1954, when he was twelve, his whole life destiny changed in an instant. Ali exclaimed a "state-wide bike hunt". A police officer who heard this offered Ali lessons in how to box in order to beat up the thief. This was the starting point in Muhammad Ali's boxing career.
In the late fifties, Cassius Clay ruled Golden Gloves and the AAU national champion. A quick fight at the Rome Olympics in 1960, Cassius Clay beat a Polish fighter to a "bloody pulp" and took home the gold. In 1962 Muhammad Ali knocked out Archie More in the fourth round as he predicted. In 1964, Muhammad Ali became world heavy weight champion by beating Sonny Listen.
However, he did not fight for three and a half years when he was standing up forhis rights during the Vietnam War. He said, "I have no Quarrel with Vier Cong." He did not want to fight because the more troops we sent in, the more we lost. His reason for not going in was religious beliefs. They stripped him of his world title, fined him ten thousand dollars, and sentenced him to 5 years in prison.
In 1970, he returned to the ring, when he was granted a boxing license. And he began to win lots of championships in the following decade. But his career ended with a ten-round victory over Trevor Berbick in 1981.Later that year Ali began suffering symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Muhammad Ali started to learn boxing because______.
A. he was very much interested in the sport
B. he intended to revenge on the bike thief
C. he found a policeman as his best trainer
D. he had got boxing lessons from the police
