However, I39。ll never fet my American History professor, Dr Williamson. Each event leaped from the pages of our text and became as real as the daily news report on the radio. My favorite lecture concerned the American Revolution. Dr Williamson set the mood for the story by imitating(模仿 ) Paul Revere, a well known silversmith, working in his shop. The American colonists(殖民地開拓者 ) were angry because of the British control over their lives. Revere felt that war between the British and the colonists was to e soon. Then, Dr Williamson told us about Revere rowing across the Charles River from Boston on April 18,1775. I can see the professor now as he raised his hand to his forehead as if he were looking across the Charles River to the Old North Church in Boston. Suddenly, Revere saw two lanterns, a signal which meant that the British would attack by sea. He jumped on his horse to warn the villagers of the attack. Professor Williamson reminded us that the first battles of the American Revolution were fought at Corncord and Lexington, Massachusetts, the year before the Declaration of Independence (獨(dú)立宣言 ) was signed in 1776, Never before had history seemed so alive to me. And all because a professor cared enough to put his heart into his teaching. 46. Why does the speaker feel that most students dislike history? He believes that .

What they found was even more unexpected: A deer was taking a bubble bath in their bathtub. I wasn39。t exactly dressed for pany, Mrs. Beck said. We were just waking up. The deer burst through the front door early Saturday, ran past the couple39。s bedroom and into the bathroom. Somehow he managed to turn on the water in the bathtub and knock over a bottle of bubble bath into the bathtub. He then got himself into the bubbly water. You could hear the water running over the kicking. Beck said. The Becks called State Game Commission officials, who arrived with tranquilizers (鎮(zhèn)定劑 ) and a lot of laughter. A guy said, 39。 there39。s nothing wrong he39。s just in there taking a bubble bath,39。 Mrs Beck said. The animal was soon brought under control, removed from the house and released. He was unharmed except for a little cut above the eye, said Mrs Beck. We were also fortunate. There wasn39。t much damage, except for the front door, some mar
