Nevertheless, there is still comparative little clarity about what 5. comparatively role these texts should perform, and it is not uncommon to find a situation
that the teacher translates passages and dictates notes, in an examination 6. where
-centered approach which largely ignores the deeper insights or skills

A group of pupils aiming at a functional command of a language may read a modern novel because of its linguistic content, unless a group of future academic specialists may discuss the 8. while basic human issues portrayed in a classical play. These are the two different activities in two different situations, each equally justifiable in its ∧9. own context but not to be confused: different pupil’s aims require literature to
serve different functions, which is best performed by different literary 10. are work.

卡思卡特上校聪明圆滑，事业一帆风顺，但却衣着邋遢，满腹忧愁。

他三十六岁，走起路来步伐沉重，一心想当将军。

他有股子冲劲，但又容易泄气；他处事泰然自若，但又时常懊恼；他自鸣得意，但对自己的前程又没有把握；他无所顾忌地采用各种行政计谋以博取上级的青睐，但又害怕自己的计谋会弄巧成拙。

他长相不错，但缺乏魁力；他强壮如牛，但又有些虚张声势，而且还很自负。

他已经开始发胖，为此他时常感到担忧，想挥也挥不去，所以，长期以来他一直受着它的折磨。

卡思卡特上校很自负，因为他才三十六岁就成了一名带领一支战斗部队的上校军官；但他又感到沮丧，因为他虽然已经三十六岁了还只不过是个上校。

V.Proofread the following passage.
If it is true that characterization is as important as conflict
in fiction, it is also true that characterization places certainly demands 1. certain on the reader which conflict does not. In order to understand what
these demands are and ∧they exist, let us look briefly at the basic 2. why nature of the reading process.

all the reader has to do is to translate the words that symbolize the action
to a concept. In other words, action in fiction is handled directly. But 6. into
as soon as a writer goes beyond the simple narration of action, he must
rather be handled directly. Another way of putting this is to say that 7.indirectly the writer shows rather tells; he handles character, theme, and emotion by implication or suggestion. The writer knows that handle these elements 8.handling otherwise does not work; it fails to convince and it may even fail to communicate at all. But implication or dramatization is∧ enough; it is 9. not simply a method of presenting characters in such a way as to engage
our attention and interest., and beyond it characters in a story must be
credible, and must seem real. When we believe in the people in a 10. Unless story, we cannot believe in what happens to them, and, consequently,
we stop believing in the story.

那老男人伸过头来，抓住男孩儿皮夹克的衣领。

他文雅而轻轻地摇了摇男孩儿，眼神坚定而低沉。

“小子，你知道爱情应该怎样开头么？”
