In 1974，after filling out fifty applications，going through fourinterviews，and winning one offer，I took what I could get—a teachingjob at what I considered a distant wild area：western New Jersey.Mycharacteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself thatI would be doing what I had wanted to do since I wasfourteen—teaching English.
School started，but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreigncountry.Was this rural area really New Jersey？My students took aweek off when hunting season began.I was told they were alsofrequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay onthe farms.I was a young woman from New York City，who thoughtthat“Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a goodtime.
But，still，I was teaching English.I worked hard，taking time off onlyto eat and sleep.And then there was my sixth¬gradeclass—seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years youngerthan me.I had a problem long before I knew it.I was struggling inmy work as a young idealistic teacher.I wanted to make literaturecome alive and to promote a love of the written word.The studentswanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back ofthe room.
In college I had been taught that a successful educator shouldignore bad behavior.So I did，confident that，as the textbook hadsaid，the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my studentspositive attention.It sounds reasonable，but the text evidentlyignored the fact that humans，particularly teenagers，rarely seemreasonable.By the time my boss，who was also my taskmaster，known tobe the strictest，most demanding，most quick to fire inexperiencedteachers，came into the classroom to observe me，the studentsexhibited very little good behavior to praise.
My boss sat in the back of the room.The boys in the class weremaking animal noises，hitting each other while the girls filed theirnails or read magazines.I just pretended it all wasn’thappening，and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiringquestions.My boss，sitting in the back of room，seemed to be growingbigger and bigger.After twenty minutes he left，silently.Visions ofunemployment marched before my eyes.
I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of classwithout crying，but at my next free period I had to face him.Iwondered if he would let me finish out the day.I walked to hisoffice，took a deep breath，and opened the door.
He was sitting in his chair，and he looked at me long and hard.Isaid nothing.All I could think of was that I was not an Englishteacher；I had been lying to myself，pretending that everything wasfine.
When he spoke，he said simply，without accusation，“You had nothing tosay to them.”
“You had nothing to say to them.”he repeated.“No wonder they’rebored.Why not get to the meat of the literature and stop talkingabout symbolism.Talk with them，not at them.And more important，whydo you ignore their bad behavior？”We talked.He named my problemsand offered solutions.We role¬played.He was the badstudent，and I was the forceful，yet，warm，teacher.
As the year progressed，we spent many hours discussing literatureand ideas about human beings and their motivations.He helped meidentify my weaknesses and my strengths.In short，he made a teacherof me by teaching me the reality of Emerson’s words：“The secret toeducation lies in respecting the pupil.”
Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to thesame school.Thanks to the help I received that difficult firstyear，the school is my home now.

[1] Safety in the highway is not totally out of hand. Here are fourways you can protect yourselves when you travel.
[2] You are safer in a large car. People in small cars are injuredmore often and more severely than people traveling in large cars.Factories of small cars are strengthening their products’ safety,which helps. But the mix of large cars and small cars on the roadis the main reason for the safety problem.
[3] Being thrown into glass and metal parts of a car — or beingthrown from the car — can really damage you. That’s why safetybelts should be worn. The safety belt’s main purpose is to pull youback. If your car has a sudden crash with another vehicle or objector if it rolls over, a belt can reduce the chance of fatal injuryby 45% and the chance of serious injury by 50%.
[4] _______________________. More than half of all new cars soldhave air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal crashes — thetype of crash that kills the most drivers, though they are alsowearing safety belts. Most people demand air bags in the cars theybuy. But the protection provided by air bags is limited in side orrear crashes; effective as they are, they can’t take the place ofsafety belts.
[5] Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don’tdrink. Drunk driving is the most serious problem. Many people haverealized that mixing drinking and driving can lead to death andinjury, prison time and other results. There are measures tostrengthen penalties (处罚) for drinking and driving.
小题1:What is the main idea of the passage? (no more than 10words)
