answers. And so was it with everyone else’ s in our class. What had happened? Everyone was wondering and couldn’t wait to get the answer. Very simple, Mr Whitson explained.

Needless to say, we got very angry. What kind of teacher was this? We should have guessed it out, Mr Whitson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the skull (in fact, a cat’s), hadn’t he been telling us that it pletely disappeared during the Ice Age? Clearly he was telling a lie.

But really, there’ s one important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do it, “ learning bursts (猛然 ) right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a long time teacher who writes an education column(專欄) called “ teacher says” for the Washington Post newspaper. In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more fortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning. As a kid in elementary or middle school, you’ re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’ re like a sponge (海綿 ), able to ________________________. Besides, you’ re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher know that, and, in most cases, is excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teacher are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they want to be teachers in the first place—to teach! Some kids may be able to learn in any case, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class. Questions: 51.
