The show will go on!

The show was over. Fox and Polar Bear and Seal and Whale stood in a line, blushing and wishing that Walrus had not ruined everything.

“Well done, Polar Bear, well done, Seal! Well done, Fox and Whale!” they shouted. “But where’s the clown? Why isn’t he here? Where’s Walrus?”

Behind is snowdrift, Walrus heard the cheers. Were they really cheering for him, too?

“I’m very sorry,” he said.

“I suppose,” said Seal, “if Walrus was really part of our next show, it couldn’t be any worse.”

Walrus was overjoyed. “Me?” he cried. “Truly? Can I be part of the show? Can I join in next time?”

“Yes,” said Whale. “It will be a lot safer that way. You can be the clown. As long as you do it properly.”

It’s goo d to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.

It’s also good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.

But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, “learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.

In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re also more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do the best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to when you have problems, such as problems with learning, school issues, or bullying.

As a kid in elementary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a spong e（海绵）, able to take in lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Remember teachers are people too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wan ted to be teachers in the first place — to teach!

In every school, kids will say certain teachers are tough. In fact, in most cases, your teacher wants to help you. And a teacher who’s called tough may be someone who feels strongly about getting his or her job done — teaching you what you are supposed to learn.

5. How do you understand the phrase “get along with” in this passage?

A. Sing high praise for.

C. Leave a good impression on.

D. Form a good relationship with.

A. want to get extra help after class

C. understand new material quickly
