Some students prefer to learn by themselves. They think they can learn better in this way because they have more freedom, pressure and independence. There is some truth in their way.
1. It is better to have a teacher, especially when they learn something more difficult.
First, a teacher can act as a guide to lead you to success. When you learn, you need help and advice. A teacher will give you a hand when you face difficulties. 2.
What is more, a teacher puts real pressure on you. If you study by yourself, you must be strong-minded enough to keep on. 3. But under the guidance of a teacher, you will feel there is always someone to watch you. The teacher may give you homework to do. You must complete the homework, or you will not pass the course.
Last but not least, studying with a teacher will help you receive the benefit of the teacher’s knowledge. 4. They teach students how to learn and how to obtain information. They guide all of you in class to discuss the material and provide extra material to broaden the scope of the topic.
5. I choose to learn in a big family---my school. Without a teacher, I would feel there would be no fun and no pressure. I could not learn well in such dull and depressing circumstances.
A. Besides, teachers are connected with our life.
B. Teachers can help you solve all of your problems.
C. In short, I prefer to go to class studying with a teacher.
D. Without a guide, you would be searching in darkness.
E. And you may become inactive for lack of a strong will.
F. But they fail to see the advantages of learning with a teacher.
G. In class, teachers do more than just going over the material in the text.
Spring is coming. and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.
A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身),nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.
Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent the companies to their customers.
As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.
There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.
1.Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?
A. People’s appearances carry messages about themselves.
B. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.
C. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.
D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.
2.What can be inferred from the text?
A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.
B. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.
C. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.
D. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.
3.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Hiring Managers Matter B. Personal Choices Matter
C. Employees Matter D. Appearances Matter
4.The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as _________.
A. enthusiastic B. positive
C. negative D. sympathetic
