21、   How does a brilliant teacher get that way? The question of how they developed has as many answers as there are inspired instructors. One example is an original and magnetic woman who has become one of best ever at taking disadvantaged students to a new level.

Jackson was born in Altoona. Her father was a construction worker. When she was in the eighth grade, her father died just before Christmas. Her principal, Mrs. Brown, said not to worry about schoolwork for a while. That upset her. Her father would not have wanted her to do anything but her best. He always said: “Don’t let your first failure be the reason for your next.”

Jackson was an accomplished shooting guard in basketball and a star sprinter on the track team, running the quarter — mile in 57 seconds. She thought she might become a sports broadcaster. She gave no thought to teaching until a friend took her to an introduction to a program, which placed novice instructors in schools full of low-income children. Jackson liked the idea of giving back, as well as the chance to have some of her student loans forgiven.

She is a big sports person, and that is how she connects with lots of kids. She couldn’t motivate children until she knew what was bothering or pleasing them. “Students learn from people who love them.” she said, “They will be motivated and inspired to learn if they know deep down that you care about them." In class she gave basketball tickets to students who were doing their work. At weekly drawings they could win sticky notes, pencils or other small prizes.

She helped create after-school clubs. A tall student said to her: “I’m a bailer. I heard you ball.” There was a basketball league in Paterson, but the school didn’t have a team. Jackson started one with support from local business executives. The student, Essence Carson, went to Rutgers University, was a first-round draft (运动员选拔机制) selection for the WNBA’s New York Liberty and now plays for the Connecticut Sun.

【1】Why did Mrs. Brown’s words upset Jackson?

A.Her father just passed away. B.She was taught to do her best.

C.Her first failure led to another one. D.She was concerned about her grades.

【2】What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A.The way Jackson turned teacher. B.The dream job Jackson desired.

C.The student loans Jackson owed. D.The athletics Jackson did well in.

【3】Why did Jackson give small prizes to her students in class?

A.To connect with them. B.To please or bother them.

C.To encourage them to learn. D.To show her love to them.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Jackson founded a school team in Paterson alone.

B.Jackson played in the basketball league in Paterson.

C.Jackson selected Essence to play for WNBA’s New York Liberty.

D.Jackson should take some credit for Essence’s professional career.

22、Dancer Martha Graham trained her body to move in different ways and in different contexts. “Life today is nervous, sharp, and zigzag,” she said. “It often stops in midair. That is what I aim for in my dances.” She insists she never started out to be a rebel. It was only that the emotions she had to express could not be projected through any of the traditional forms.

This was in 1925. All forms of art were undergoing a revolution. The theories of psychology were being used to extend the boundaries of poetry, music, and painting.

Martha Graham’s first dance concert occurred on April 18, 1926. Experts of dance gathered at the Forty-eighth Street Theater in New York and witnessed Martha Graham’s first attempt of this new direction of dance. They saw through such dances as “Three Gobi Maidens” and “A Study in Lacquer” desires and conflicts expressed through bodily movements. These critics agreed that something entirely new, a departure from all previous forms, had been witnessed.

In the early thirties, she founded the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance. Her classes were used as a laboratory for her stage works, and her stage works in turn were a means for attaching new pupils to her school - a sort of self-winding process, with herself as the key to the development.

Martha Graham and the school she has founded represent the modern dance. She had not only produced a technique of the dance and taught it, but her students have gone out to fill the modern dance world.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A．A dancer’s view of life.

B．The revolution of art forms in the 1920's.

C．Martha Graham’s development of modern dance.

D．The Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance.

【2】It can be inferred from the passage that Graham’s style of dance differed from traditional dance in the ________.

A．type of movements

B．speed of the performance

C．variety of themes

D．age of the performance

【3】The author uses the phrase “a sort of self-winding process” (in paragraph 4) to illustrate ________.

A．the new steps Graham developed for dance

B．the physical endurance of Graham’s dancers

C．the discipline demanded of the students in Graham’s school

D．the relationship between Graham’s performances and her school
