Question

 I did not know what to expect as I walked into my beautiful classroom. I felt like a child who was entering the school for the first time. The smell of brand new school supplies tilled the classroom,and I couldn't stop thinking of what would happen on my first day as a teacher.

  I felt prepared,since I had just gone through one week of training. I had learnt how to create a suitable lesson plan and how to help my students. Yet,none of that prepared me for classroom management. Now,this was a real challenge for me. As the students started to pour into the hallways, I began to grow more and more nervous. By the time my classroom was filled with learn?ers，my heart felt as if it was going to pound its way out of my chest. I tried to calm myself down. I kept thinking to myself that not all students could be bad. "Well,here goes nothing.”was my exact thought as I closed the door behind me and walked to the front of the classroom.

  It was a class of about twenty-one students,my first class that I would ever teach！When I reached the front of the classroom,it just felt so natural to me. I began talking to the students, and they responded to my questions. They even laughed at my lame jokes. Despite(尽管) all the sweating and nerves,I was able to overcome my very first challenge: my first day as a teacher.

  Although I was worried about classroom management,my students turned out to be the best students. They taught me that classroom manage?ment could be finished through thoughtful planning,classroom engagement and surely a big old heart. Yes,believing in yourself is important. Overco?ming challenges can be difficult,but doing so helps you learn life lessons.

Answer 1

作者第一次给学生上课，心里特别紧张。他担心学生捣乱。由于他做了充分的准备，他战胜了第一次挑战。他深有体会：课堂组织是由良好的计划、互动与自信心来完成的。

1.C细节理解题。根据第二段的"Yet,none of that pre-pared me for classroom management."可知作者认为自己在之前没有为课堂组织做准备。因此选C。

2.D细节理解题。根据第二段的"I kept thinking to my?self that not all students could be bad. ' Well, here goes nothing.' was my exact thought..."可知作者的愿望是班上的学生不要捣乱。

3.B推理判断题。根据第三段的"I began talking to the students,and they responded to my questions."可知作者用提问题的方式教学，让学生回答问题，即让学生积极地发言。因此选B。

4. b推理判断题。由第三段的"Despite(尽管) all the sweating and nerves, I was able to overcome my very first challenge... "n了知作者在上课期间是紧张的。其余选项与原文意思不符。

5. A词义猜测题。由其后文"Yes， believing in yourself is important."的意思可知它是对a big old heart的进一步说明，故a big old heart意为"强大的信心"。
