2 . You may have heard video game characters deliver lines like “Shatter (击碎) the darkness with thunder!” But it’s refreshing to hear it in an unexpected place — the classroom. Xia Zhendong is a physics teacher working at a senior high school in south China. Now in his 30s, Xia has won the hearts of millions of online viewers with his classroom experiments.

In one video, Xia pointed a self-made “thunderbolt wand (魔杖)” toward a hanging light tube in his classroom and said, “Shatter the darkness with thunder.” Suddenly, an electric arc (弧线) emerged from the tip of the wand, illuminating the tube. After the cheers from his students, he went on to explain the science behind it—static electricity (静电) and point discharge (尖端放电).

“The idea came when I enjoyed playing a popular game on my smart phone,” he said. In his spare time, he likes to try out what students are interested in to get closer to them. Apart from the “thunderbolt wand”, Xia has done many other creative experiments. Once, he lit steel wool with a battery to show the heating effect of electric current. Another time, he used a “laser weapon” to pop balloons while explaining the principles of lasers.

For Xia, physics is supposed to be fun. So, when he saw his students struggle with physics, he decided to make a change. “Circuit diagrams (电路图) are abstract, and I want them to actually see the electricity through lightning to realize that knowledge is not just on paper. You can see it and even touch it,” Xia said. Now, Xia has also started free live classes online. “I hope that through online classes, more students can also have access to fun physics lessons. And their parents can also join in. I hope that physics could make them feel happier,” Xia said.

6 . 【课本原文】

HOW DO I KNOW MY STUDENTS?

As an educator, people often ask me how I know what is going on in the minds of my students. Many students are quite shy and don't speak all that much. At the same time, in a classroom of more than forty students, it is hard to have many one­on­one conversations with each person. So, how can I really know what makes each student tick?

My answer? I look at their body language.   

It is easy to recognise when students are interested in a lesson. Most tend to look up and make eye contact. When I make a joke, they smile. When I talk about something difficult, they look confused. I know when students are really interested, however, because they lean forward and look at me. People have a tendency to lean towards whatever they are interested in. So if a student has his head lowered to look at his watch, it implies he is bored and just counting the minutes for the class to end. If two friends are leaning their heads together, they are probably writing notes to each other. Of course, not everyone who looks up is paying attention in class. Some students look up, but there is an absence of eye contact. Their eyes barely move, and they always have the same distant expression on their faces. It is as though they are asleep with their eyes open.

Some students are amused by something else. They spend all their time looking anywhere but at me. Then again, some students' favourite activity is daydreaming. With their chins on their hands, they occupy themselves by staring out of the window or up at the ceiling. They are certainly interested in something, but who knows what. The main thing is reminding distracted students that they need to pay attention in class.

While it is easy to perceive when students are interested, bored, or distracted, it is sometimes much harder to distinguish when students are troubled. Students who are angry, afraid, or experiencing anxiety may have their arms crossed in front of their chests and their legs closed or crossed, like they are guarding their bodies. Students who are sad or worried will nearly always wear a frown. They may also hide their faces in their hands like they are embarrassed or ashamed. Some students act this way merel ybecause they are afraid of being called on by the teacher. However, if a student does not bother to brush her hair and her eyes are red from weeping, then I can infer that there are deeper issues at work. It could be that she is having serious conflicts with other students or at home. Whatever it is, I know I need to inquire and assess what is going on.

Ultimately, my duty is helping every student to learn. Their body language lets me know when to adjust class activities, when to intervene, and when to talk to students individually, so they can get the most out of school. Reacting to body language is an important component of being a teacher.

1. How can the writer know what makes each student tick?

A．By having one­on­one conversations with each person.

B．By talking with some students.

C．By observing students' body language.

D．By asking them to write a letter to the teacher.

2. When students are not interested in a lesson, they may             .

A．look up and make eye contact

B．lean forward and look at the teacher

C．lower their heads and look at their watches

D．smile when the teacher makes a joke

3. When students have their arms crossed in front of their chests and their legs crossed, they may feel________.

A．happy

B．excited

C．shocked

D．angry

4. Where is the text likely to be taken from?

A．A social magazine.	B．A science book.
C．A research report.	D．A health magazine.

“This is such a simple sum (算术); don’t you know how to solve it? You silly girl!” Emma was laughing at her classmate Elva for not being able to solve an easy maths sum.

Head teacher Miss Maria was about to come in when she heard Emma laughing at Elva. Elva felt heartbroken and left the classroom, crying. She didn’t see Miss Maria standing there.

“Emma, you shouldn’t have treated Elva like that. You know her situation. Please don’t make her feel uncomfortable and helpless like that. We are classmates!” Eric said, trying to make Emma understand the pain she caused others.

But Emma was clearly unable to understand, “I just pointed out the fact that it was a simple sum and she couldn’t even do it. She really is a stupid girl. What’s wrong with that?”

Eric was upset, “This constant criticism ( 不断的批评) of yours can destroy her confidence. Please try to understand and give her some space to learn. She needs more time to understand this sum.”

Emma was the bully of the class and she didn’t even realize it. She used to criticize her classmates all the time, unable to understand the damage she caused by laughing and criticizing them.

One day, when Elva fell outside the class, Emma started laughing at her rather than helping her. “You can’t even walk properly. Silly!”

Miss Maria wanted to make Emma understand the pain she brought to others. The next day, while giving the lecture, Miss Maria called Emma, “Emma! Come and solve this question, please.”

Emma was extremely shocked because she didn’t know the solution. She started panicking (惊慌).

Miss Maria laughed at her, “Emma, it’s such a simple question. How can you not do it?”

10 . Teaching is a difficult job. The ultimate reward is knowing that you have the opportunity to have an impact on a young person’s life. However, not every student is created equal. The truth is that there are students who own certain characteristics that make them good pupils.

They ask questions

Most teachers want students to ask questions when they do not understand. It is truly the only way a teacher knows whether you really understand something.     1     Good students aren’t afraid to ask questions because they know that if they do not get a particular concept, it could hurt them later on. And asking questions is often beneficial to the class as a whole.     2    

They are involved

Being involved in extra-curricular activities can help a student gain confidence, which can improve academic success. Most good students get involved in some activity whether it is athletics, or student council.     3     They often teach people to work together as a team to accomplish a common goal.

They seize opportunities.

    4     However, that doesn’t mean that every student seizes that opportunity and maximizes their learning potential. The opportunity to learn is valuable. The best students take advantage of the opportunities than are afforded and value the education they receive.

    5    

Teachers will tell you that classes full of students who follow the rules have more chances of maximizing their learning potential. Students who are well behaved are likely to learn more than their counterparts who are trouble makers. Teachers will try to move mountains for students who are polite, respectful and follow the rules.

A．They are perfect leaders.

B．They are solid citizens.

C．It is true that every student must attend school for some period of time.

D．If no questions are asked, then the teacher has to think that you have understood the concept.

E．Chances are that if you have that question, there are other students who have that same question.

F．These activities provide so many leaning opportunities that a traditional classroom simply can’t.

G．Whole classes have their own unique personalities and often those classes with good leaders are good students.
