Question

One Moore Elementary school teacher is showing students the importance of communication through “shout-outs”. Third Grade Moore Elementary Teacher Lindsey Winders said a shout-out is a compliment(称赞) that students can say or write down. “Like, ‘hey I noticed you doing a really great job solving your math problems yesterday. I wanted to make sure you know that I saw you do that,’” Winders said.

Winders said she makes sure she is giving shout-outs to her students every day. “I might write them a sticky note, or write them a quick little note in their planner. I might just say it to them on their way into the classroom or on their way out of the classroom, but most importantly I try to do it every day,” Winders said.

In addition to the compliments, Winders has the students greet(问候) each other every morning during morning meeting. She will have students give examples to the class of how to communicate in different settings(场景). Third grade student Nayelli Moranchel said she had given at least six shout-outs this year. “It makes me happy, because they always write something back,” Moranchel said.

Recently, Winders took it one step further and wrote a personalized note on each of her students’ desk. “In our classroom, sometimes it can be challenging for me to give a compliment or a shout-out to each and every one of them in a way that feels equal(平等的) and valuable at the same time. So I decide that there is no better way than leaving a note on their desk that can stay for as long as they wants it to,” Winders said.

Winders said it is encouraging when she sees her students copy the act, and give each other compliments without her guidance(指导).

1.猜测词义题。根据第一段中I noticed you doing a really great job solving your math facts yesterday. I wanted to make sure you know that I saw you do that指的是“我注意到你昨天在解决数学问题上做得很好。我想让你知道我看到你这么做的”。That指代前面提到的solving your math facts（解决数学问题），故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据第一段One Moore Elementary school teacher is showing students the importance of communication through “shout-outs”.和第二段Winders said she makes sure she is giving shout-outs to her students every day.可知，Winders通过自己的日常行为给学生们做榜样，告诉学生们称赞的重要性。故选C。
