There’s an old phrase saying, "Those who can’t do，teach.”But if you have a really teacher, you just might be attracted to following in that instructor's footsteps.No time in my life was rougher than going from a small grade school to Texas middle school. All the other boys lived within walking distance of the school. I was the only one who lived across the mountain, in a completely different environment.But in seventh grade，we had David Lombrana ，who taught about every subject that wasn’ maths or science. His brother Vicente, another good teacher, got those two. Mr. Lombrana let us have a love of literature，but it was tough for me，as a fan of history，to read fictional stories. But he introduced us to Jack London，Mark Twain, John Steinbeck and Edgar Allan Poe. He would spend the last few minutes of the day reading a short story of his favorite author: Erskine Caldwell. ll the stories were either funny or interesting, making you not put the story down until you had finished it. But what we didn't realize was that there was a moral to each one. He also instructed us when we needed to hear the truth. Mr. Lombrana followed me and several students to a local high school，where he helped to build a top speech and debate team before leaving for Houston，Texas.Nowadays, we keep in touch by Facebook . Amazingly，we both remember those days like they were yesterday. I was fortunate to have more than one good teacher in life, ranging from teachers in grade school to researchers in college and graduate school. These teachers worked hard to make me use all of my potential. But it was Mr. Lombrana who was the first to get me thinking that being a teacher could be something special.21 .What does the old phrase meanA. Anyone can be a teacher.B.

Your dinner will now be served. That is the message being sent to customers at a New York City restaurant. In the restaurant, all people are forbidden to talk during the meal.Nicholas Nauman .head chef at Eat in Brooklyn, said that he was inspired by the tight-lipped consumption after spending some time in India, where Buddhist monks take their breakfast without exchanging words.“It’s just an opportunity to enjoy food in a way you might not have otherwise ,”said the chef, noting that the sounds of forks on dishes and cook s in the kitchen provide some background noise to the experience.The silent一dining experience，experts said，seems to fit with other attention 一getting tricks that many restaurant owners and chefs often adopt in the generally known competitive restaurant business. At Moto, in Chicago，diners can eat the menu. In Paris, London and Moscow，restaurant-Boers are served at Dans le Noir, where they will have their meals without light.“As a mother of two 15-year-old boys it is kind of a fantasy to go to do that，”Tany a Steel, editor-in-chief of Epicurious. com, said of the silent一dining experience at Eat.“But as someone who pays money to go out，I would feel like I’m in some kind of silent film ;it would be incredibly difficult.”At a recent evening at Eat, restaurant-g oers didn’t seem to mind the silent treatment as they ate their salads and soups. One polite customer walked out of the door to sneeze in order to avoid breaking the silence. Another could barely hold back a strong case of laughing. And one couple found ways to communicate with facial expressions，instead of words.“It's a kind of experience，”said Eat owner Jordon Colon. "The silence speaks for itself.”24 .At Eat in Brooklyn，the diners______·A. have to eat their meals silentlyB. can talk with chefs about the foodC. should have good table mannersD. will have to eat in the darkness25 .How did Nicholas Nauman come up with the ideaA.

There were 10 species to choose from, including the badger, the red squirrel，the otter and the robin. And the winner,with over 3,849 votes(about 40% of the total)，was the hedgehog!The hedgehog is a small mammal with quills(刺)on its body. ft weighs between 250 and 550 grams，eats mostly insects, and curls up into a little ball when it feels threatened. It’sanocturnal(夜间活动的)animal that can be found in parts of Europe, Asia and Africa. There are no hedgehogs native to Australia or the Americas. The name“ hedgehog" came into use around the year 1450. It comes from the Middle English "hegge"(meaning "hedge").and "hogge"(which means "hog").Sadly，hedgehog numhers are declining in Britain. They’ve almost halved over the past 20 years to less than a million.Some people were disappointed that there were so few insects on the list. But Ben Hoare, an editor of BBC Wildlife, had a different opinion. He said，‘’All the other insects are very important, but I’m not sure they make a good national sy mbol. Fur and feathers tend to win over creepy-crawlies(爬行类昆虫).’，The hedgehog has long been popular in the UK. It's generally seen as a hard-working and friendly animal. And one of the characters from Beatrix Potter's books is a hedgehog called Mrs. Tiggy，Winkle.
