阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从36-- 55题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项

I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in the US for 17 years, I had no 36 about my ability to hold their attention and to 37 on them my admiration for the literature（文学）of my mother tongue.

I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “ 38 !” and the entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was a little 39 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness（尴尬）was over, I quickly regained my calmness and began 40 I thought was a fact–packed lecture, sure to gain their respect ---- perhaps 41 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow(喜形于色) which comes from a (n) 42 of achievements.

My students kept diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 43 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. __44 her next lecture will be better.” 45 , I read diary after diary, each expressing a 46 subject. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework（哲学体系）of Western thought and 47 the historical background for all the works we’ll study in class,” I complained. “How 48 they say I didn’t teach them anything?”

It was a long term, and it 49 became clear that my ideas about education were 50 those of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise 51 questions and provide enough background so that students could 52 their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide 53 information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!

54 , I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a 55 American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

44．A．Naturally B．Perhaps C．Fortunately D．Reasonably

45．A. Surprising B. Surprised C. To surprise D. To be surprised

A

The most important holiday in spring, especially for Christians, is Easter. This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year，but it's always on a Sunday. It can be any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house. People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to celebrate the day.

But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter, many people go to church to celebrate Jesus' resurrection（复活）from the dead.

People from many different cultures celebrate Easter. In both America and Belgium, children look for Easter eggs hidden on lawns and in bushes. In America, children believe the eggs are hidden by the Easter bunny (兔子).But in Belgium, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from church bells. In Bulgaria (保加利亚), red Easter eggs are lucky in churches. Bulgarian families also crash these Easter eggs together to see whose is the strongest. The winner looks forward to good fortune that year.
