[单选题]Alan Lakein，a time management expert，thinks that nothing is a total waste of time，including doing nothing at times.If you arrange things so that you find time to relax and “do nothing”，you will get more done and have more fun doing it.

　　One of his clients，a space engineer，didn’t know how to“do nothing”.Every minute of his leisure time was scheduled with intense activities.He had an outdoor-activities schedule in which he switched from skiing to tennis.His girlfriend kept up with him in these activities，although she would have preferred just to sit by the fire and relax once in a while.like too many people，he felt the need to be doing something all the time，for doing nothing seemed a waste of time.His“relaxing by the fire”consisted of playing chess，reading magazines，or checking emails.

　　For an experiment，Alan asked him to“waste”his time for five minutes during one of their sessions together.What the engineer ended up doing was relaxing，sitting quietly and daydreaming. When he was finally able to admit that emotional reasons caused him to reject relaxing as a waste of time，he began to look more critically at that way of thinking.Once he knew that relaxing was a good use of time，he became less serious about being busy and started enjoying each activity more. Previously he had been so busy doing that he had no time to have fun at anything.He began to do less and have more fun.When Alan saw the client about three years later，he still had as busy a schedule as ever，but he was able to balance his activity with relaxing so that he came back to work Monday morning not feeling tired out from a busy weekend but refreshed.

　　What can be inferred from the passage about“doing nothing”?

　　AIt makes people enjoy more indoor activities.

　　BIt enables you to have more work time.

　　CIt serves to improve family relationship.

　　DIt helps you do things more efficiently.

　　参考答案：D

　　There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.

　　If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher´ s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to "play safe". He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That´ s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.

　　I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience:"This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible(难以辨认的)." It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil´s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child´ s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centred on the child´s idea, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.

　　The expression "play safe" probably means __________.

　　A to write carefully

　　Bto do as teachers say

　　Cto use dictionaries frequently

　　Dto avoid using words one is not sure of

　　参考答案：D

　　根据以上内容，回答下列各题。

　　Anyone who has ever attended a university knows that the quality of lecturers varies greatly. A few are very effective communicators, conveying the substance of their lectures clearly and interestingly and inspiring students to want to know more about the subject. Others produce dull lectures from which the students learn little and which are likely to kill any interest they may have in the subject. Lecturing is a major part of a university lecturer’s job and it would seem reasonable that effectiveness in this task should be a major standard in assessing a lecturer for promotion. However, it is very often the case that far more weight is given to such factors as participation in research, number of publications and even performance of administrative duties. My point of view is that a lecturer’s lecturing should be regularly evaluated and that the best people to carry out this evaluation are those directly on the receiving end.

　　It could, of course, be argued that students are not competent to evaluate the academic quality of lectures, If anyone should evaluate lecturers, it should be their colleagues. However, I am not arguing that students should be asked to comment on the academic content of lectures, but to evaluate the effectiveness.

　　I suspect that many of the objections to student evaluation stem from the fear some lecturers have of being subject to criticism by their students. However, lecturers should see such evaluation as an opportunity to become aware of defects in their lecturing techniques and thus to become better lecturers. Such a system should benefit both students and lecturers as well as help department heads to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their teaching staff.

　　Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

　　AStudents likes and interests are the standards of evaluation of a teachers lecturing

　　BStudents are actually capable of judging the class accomplishments of lectures

　　CStudents are academically capable of making comments on the skills of teaching.

　　DStudents are not to give assessments of a teachers lecturing.

　　参考答案：B

　　Sometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government" s efforts to improve schools:new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees,not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.

　　Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one"s mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn" t working,to make collective decisions.

　　Yet this kind of safety doesn" t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直). The challenge is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.

　　At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left after the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are unconscious or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.

　　We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person" s behavior. As we all Imam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal made a particular decision based on his career advancement rather than hat" s best for the students.If we don"t feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and expectations , trust flies am the window and our relationships suffer.

　　According to Bryk and Schneider,what was most important for successful school improvement?

　　AApples can provide people with sufficient daily intake of energy.

　　BPositive social relationships.

　　CStrict teacher and student evaluations.

　　DAssistance of the government.
