The American expression "shoo-in" means someone or something that seems sure to win a race or competition.
Before a big football game, supporters of each are certain to argue (争论) about which side will win. Sometimes, however, one team appears so much stronger than the others that everyone agrees it will win. The stronger team is a shoo-in. there is no way that it can lose.
The expression "shoo-in" comes from horse racing. It comes from the word "shoo". That is not the shoe we wear on our feet. It's another word, S-H-O-O. To shoo is an expression hundreds of years old that means to force an animal to move in a desired direction.
Many years ago dishonest riders sometimes agreed secretly to control their horses so that one chosen horse would win the race. All but one of the riders would hold back their horses. The chosen rider would shoo his horse ahead of the others, and win the race. The other riders would secretly bet large amounts of money that the chosen horse would win. The public soon learned about such races. They began to call the winner of such a race a "shoo-in".
These days, people use shoo-into describe any athlete or competitor that seems certain to win, even without cheating.

Teaching is more than leadership. Some of the teacher's time and effort are directed toward instruction, some toward evaluation. But it is the teacher as a group leader who creates an effective organizational structure and good working environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place. A group that is totally disorganized, unclear about its goal . or constantly fighting among its members will not be a good learning group. The pattern includes helping to form and maintain a positive learning environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place.
On the first day of class, the teacher faces a room filled with individuals (个体 ). Perhaps a few closely united groups and friendships already exist. But there is no sense of group unity, no set of rules for conduct in the group , no feeling of belonging. If teachers are successful leaders, they will help students develop a system of relationships that encourages working together.
Standards and rules must be set to keep order, make sure of justice and protect individual rights, but do not contradict(相悖) school policy. What happens when one student hurts another's individual rights? Without clear regulations agreeable to the students and teachers, the classroom can become chaotic,(混乱的). Students may break rules they did not know existed. If standards are set without participation from the class, students may spend a great deal of creative energy in destroying the class environment or finding ways to break rules.
No matter how skillful the teacher is in uniting students and creating a positive atmosphere, the task is never complete. Regular maintenance(维持) is necessary. Conflicts arise. The needs of individual members change. A new kind of learning task requires a new or organizational structure. Sometimes outside pressures such as holidays, upcoming tests or sport competitions, or family troubles cause stress in the classroom. One task for the teacher is to recreate a positive environment by helping students deal with conflict , change, and stress.
1.The underlined word “maintain" in Paragraph l probably means
A. keep B. build
C. recreate D. evaluate
2.According to the author, the teacher should .
A. free students from outside pressures
B. set the standards and rules on his own
C. be responsible for a well-organized class
D. focus more on instruction and evaluation
3.From the passage we can lean that .
A. rules cannot be changed once they're formed
B. outside pressures may not cause tension among students
C. if the teacher well units his students, he then will finish his task
D. if rules are not acceptable both to students and teachers, the classroom can be a mess
4.What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To provide information for teaching.
B. To show the importance of' teaching a class.
C. To study the teacher's behavior in the classroom.
D. To compare the teacher's behavior with the students' in class.
