To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to 1 the attention and interest of your students, you must be a 2 speaker, with a good, strong, 3 voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 4 what you are teaching, insgroupsto make its meaning clear. 5 a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still 6 his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his 7 ,hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.Listen to him, and you will 8 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always 9 according to what he is 10 about.The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't 11 that he will indeed be able to act 12 on the stage, for there are very important 13 between the teacher's work and the actor's.The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the 14 words each time he plays a certain part. 15 his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually 16 before hand.What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 17 on the stage.
A good teacher 18 in quite a different way.His students take an active part in his 19 : they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't obey something, they will say no.The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students, which is in his class.He can not learn his part by heart, but must 20 it as he goes along.
I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but unable to take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn't keep discipline: they could not keep strictly to what another had written.

Among all the animals, the ape is most like human beings. Both people and apes have the similar brain structure, the similar nerve system, and the similar kind of blood.
There are four kinds of apes: the chimpanzee(黑猩猩), the orangutan(猩猩), the gorilla(大猩猩), and the gibbon(长臂猿). They live in the deep forests and warm tropical regions of Africa and of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia.
All apes are covered with brown, reddish-brown, or black hair everywhere on their bodies except their faces, feet, and hands. Their hands each have four fingers and a thumb that helps them grip things the way our thumbs help us. But they also have a thumb on each foot instead of a big toe. Thus they can hold things with their feet also. Having short, weak legs, apes do not walk on the ground very much. However, their arms are very strong. This enables them to swing from branches and travel very quickly from tree to tree.
These animals live in small family groups that move from place to place in search of vegetables and fruits. They also eat eggs, small animals, nuts, and insects. When they are tired, they build nests in the trees. But they rarely sleep there for more than a night or two. Then they move on to look for more food.
There are some differences among the following three kids of apes. The gibbon is never more than three feet high and weight only about fourteen pounds. The gorilla grows to be six feet tall and weight up to 600 pounds. The orangutan is smaller than the gorilla. It stands three to five feet tall and weight up to 200 pounds.
Chimpanzees are the smartest of all apes. They can be taught to sit at a table and eat, to dress themselves, and to do things that human children can do.

[B] the gibbon is only three feet high but it is heavier than the orangutan
[C] the orangutan is smaller than the gorilla and cleverer than the gibbon

“Family” is of course an elastic word.But when British people say that their society is based on family life,they are thinking of “family” in its narrow,peculiarly European sense of mother,father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit.Thus,every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.For both the man and the woman,marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life.The man’s first duty will then be to his wife,and the wife’s to her husband.He will be entirely responsible for her financial support,and she for the running of the new home.Their children will be their common
responsibility and theirs alone.Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s,nor their brothers or sisters,aunts or
uncles,have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.
Readers of novels like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents, that is,it was the parents’ duty to find a suitable husband for their
daughter,preferably a rich one,and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry
her.Until that time,the girl was protected and maintained in the parents’ home,and the financial relief of getting rid of
her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry.It is very different today.Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage.This has had two results.A girl chooses her own husband,and she gets no dowry.
