As the semester(學(xué)期) ended, students had a chance to turn the tables on their teachers.
They got to grade me anonymously(匿名地), assessing the ability of my thinking, my organizational skills and the depth of my knowledge. Such evaluations keep me alert to what works and what doesn’t. Students reflect my performance back to me, and I’m glad to learn what they think of my teaching so that I might try to improve.
This system reflects many aspects of my work. There is, of course, nothing wrong with it. But this system assumes that what students need is the same as what they want. Reading my evaluations every semester has taught me otherwise. Actually many students’ expectations for their courses have already changed, reflecting, in part, the business model many universities are following: classes are considered services, and parents are eager to get their money’s worth from their children’s education. Students feel pressure from their parents to get practical use from their courses.
This could make sense for an engineering course, but in my field, creative writing, which rarely trains up excellent 21-year-old writers, it is more difficult to provide the results that the career-minded students desire. Then I tried some teaching techniques to change the criticism of those unhappy students to the opposite and improve my student evaluations. My record would accurately reflect a smart, attentive, encouraging teacher. However, I would admit that they loved me simply because I agreed writing should be easy.
I know other teachers have done the same thing: teach your heart out to the teachable but be sure to please the unteachable; keep your ratings high, like a politician trying to improve his poll(民意調(diào)查) results. I believe in the struggle. But I still can’t help wincing(退縮) when I read, “The instructor is mean.” “Marcus is not committed to my work.” “This class sucks.” The business model has taught me that customers are always right. And maybe a few more dissatisfied customers would mean a better learning experience.
1.What can we know from the underlined phrase “turn the tables on their teachers”?
A.Students get a chance to have dinner with their teachers.
B.Students begin to criticize and punish their teachers.
C.Students judge and grade their teachers.
D.Students take action to praise their teachers.
2.Why have the students’ expectations for their courses changed?
A.Because students want to improve other abilities.
B.Because students feel great pressure from universities.
C.Because the business model has changed.
D.Because students have to satisfy their parents.
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Parents don’t care about their money spent on their children’s education.
B.The writer adopted some teaching methods so that he improved his student evaluations.
C.Similar to other teachers, the writer struggled to work as politicians.
D.The students intended to punish their teachers by giving comments.
4.What is the author’s attitude towards being graded by his students?

A recent survey shows that the alarming rate of child suicide(自殺) in Hong Kong, raising levels of stress and anxiety among young people, increasing conflicts between children and teachers, and children’s complaints that their parents do not understand their problems—all point to a drop in “emotional quotient” (EQ) (情商), the ability to handle relationships.
EQ is defined as the ability to deal with oneself and others effectively. High EQ, psychologists say, is easy to spot. Some of the greatest humanitarian (人道主義的) leaders have high EQ, along with successful managers and inspirational and respected teachers. The problem is not how to spot high EQ but to improve on low EQ, so society as a whole can benefit.
In the United States, declining EQ among young people is seen as one of the factors behind rising young people’s crime because youths fail to understand others’ feelings—one of the key components of EQ. While the situation in Hong Kong is not so bad, there are warning signs that the levels of anxiety among youth may become critical. Declining EQ among Hong Kong teenagers has been acknowledged by several studies including a key study by the education concern group, the Learning-Teacher Association, which found a high degree of anxiety among students over the future and also that young people lacked confidence in dealing with problems. Parents and teachers will also need to develop their own EQ skills in order to deal with them effectively.
Daniel Goleman cites a number of basic elements of high EQ: first, awareness of your feelings as you experience them which is very important to making good decisions in life; second, feeling or awareness of what others are feeling. “90% of emotional information is expressed non-verbally and people vary in their ability to pick it up,” Dr. Goleman says in his book.
Dr. Goleman argues that without high EQ even highly-educated, highly-intelligent people will not find success in life. Or those with low EQ, even though they may be brilliant, tend to lack feeling and impulse control. They fail easily, and they are easily intolerant and often aggressive in interpersonal relations. Some educational psychologists believe work on EQ may be important in Hong Kong with its high rate of suicide among school children. EQ test may be able to help predict those most at risk, and those least able to deal with their own emotions or unable to deal with others, including parents and teachers.
1.According to the passage, children in Hong Kong commit suicide at an alarming rate as a result of _______.
A.parents not understanding their children
B.the rising levels of stress and anxiety among young people
C.the inability of dealing with relationships
D.increasing conflict between children and teachers
2.We can infer from the passage that people with low emotional quotient _______.
A.a(chǎn)re least likely to become good leaders
B.can deal with oneself and others effectively
C.a(chǎn)re beneficial to society
D.a(chǎn)re more likely to be respected
3.The word “its” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A.the work on EQ
B.Hong Kong
C.EQ
D.China
4.Daniel Goleman believes that _______.
A.one can be just as successful without having a high EQ
B.only people with both high EQ and high IQ will be successful in life
C.people with low intelligence will not get a successful life
D.people not having high EQ may not be successful in life despite being extremely intelligent
