Unit 3 Why I TeachPeter G. BeidlerEvery teacher probably asks himself time and again: What are the reasons for choosing teaching as a career? Do the rewards teaching outweigh the trying comments? Answering these questions is not a simple task. Let's see what the author says.Why do you teach? My friend asked the question when I told him that I didn't want to be considered for an administrative position. He was puzzled that I did not want what was obviously a "step up" toward what all Americans are taught to want when they grow up: money and power.Certainly I don't teach because teaching is easy for me. Teaching is the most difficult of the various ways I have attempted to earn my living: mechanic, carpenter, writer. For me, teaching is a red-eye, sweaty-palm, sinking-stomach profession. Red-eye, because I never feel ready to teach no matter how late I stay up preparing. Sweaty-palm, because I'm always nervous before I enter the classroom, sure that I will be found out for the fool that I am. Sinking-stomach, because I leave the classroom an hour later convinced that I was even more boring than usual.Nor do I teach because I think I know answers, or because I have knowledge I feel compelled to share. Sometimes I am amazed that my students actually take notes on what I say in class!Why, then, do I teach?I teach because I like the pace of the academic calendar. June, July, and August offer an opportunity for reflection, research and writing.I teach because teaching is a profession built on change. When the material is the same, I change —— and, more important, my students change.I teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lessons, to stimulate myself and my students. As a teacher, I'm my own boss. If I want my freshmen to learn to write by creating their own textbook, who is to say I can't? Such courses may be huge failures, but we can all learn from failures.I teach because I like to ask questions that students must struggle to answer. The world is full of right answers to bad questions. While teaching, I sometimes find good questions.I teach because I enjoy finding ways of getting myself and my students out of the ivory tower and into the real world. I once taught a course called "Self-Reliance in a Technological Society." My 15 students read Emerson, Thoreau, and Huxley. They keptdiaries. They wrote term papers.But we also set up a corporation, borrowed money, purchased a run-down house and practiced self-reliance by renovating it. At the end of the semester, we would the house, repaid our loan, paid or taxes, and distributed the profits among the group.So teaching gives me pace, and variety, and challenge, and the opportunity to keep on learning.I have left out, however, the most important reasons why I teach.One is Vicky. My first doctoral student, Vicky was an energetic student who labored at her dissertation on a little-known 14th century poet. She wrote articles and sent them off to learned journals. She did it all herself, with an occasional nudge from me. But I was there when she finished her dissertation, learned that her articles were accepted, got a job and won a fellowship to Harvard working on a book developing ideas she'd first had as my student.Another reason is George, who started as an engineering student, then switched to English because he decided he liked people better than things.There is Jeanne, who left college, but was brought back by her classmates because they wanted her to see the end of the self-reliance house project. I was here when she came back. I was there when she told me that she later became interested in the urban poor and went on to become a civil rights lawyer.There is Jacqui, a cleaning woman who knows more by intuition than most of us learn by analysis. Jacqui has decided to finish high school and go to college.These are the real reasons I teach, these people who grow and change in front of me. Being a teacher is being present at the creation, when the clay begins to breathe.A "promotion" out of teaching would give me money and power. But I have money. I get paid to do what I enjoy: reading, talking with people, and asking question like, "What is the point of being rich?"And I have power. I have the power to nudge, to fan sparks, to suggest books, to point out a pathway. What other power matters?But teaching offers something besides money and power: it offers love. Not only the love of learning and of books and ideas, but also the love that a teacher feels for that rare student who walks into a teacher's life and begins to breathe. Perhaps love is the wrong word: magic might be better.I teach because, being around people who are beginning to breathe, I occasionally find myself catching my breath with them.我为何教书你为什么教书呢？当我告诉我的朋友我不想做任何行政职务时，他向我提出了这个问题。

Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike and then she persuaded me to buy one. Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college in Kunming. They are Dai and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries. Wang Wei soon got them interested in cycling too. After graduating from college, we finally got the chance to take a bike trip. I asked my sister, “Where are we going?” It was my sister who first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends. Now she is planning our schedule for the trip.I am fond of my sister but she has one serious shortcoming. She can be really stubborn. Although she didn’t know the best way of getting to the places, she insisted that she organize the trip properly. Now I know that the proper way is always her way. I kept asking her, “When are we leaving and when are we coming back?” I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course she hadn’t; my sister doesn’t care about details. So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province. She gave me a determined look – the kind that said she would not change her mind. When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres, she seemed to be excited about it. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold,she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sister well. Once she has made up her mind, nothing can change it. Finally I had to give in.Several before our trip, Wang Wei and I went to the library. We found a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography. From the atlas we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a mountain in Qingdao Province. Sometimes the river is small and the water is clear and cold. Then it begins to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, travelling across western Yunnan Province. Sometimes the river becomes a waterfall and enters wide valleys. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it leaves China and high altitude, the Mekong becomes wide, brown and warm. As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice grows. At last, the river delta enters the South China Sea.Comprehending1 read the passage carefully and answer the following questions.1 what was Wang Kun and Wang Wei’s idea of a good trip?_____________________________________________________2 Who planned the trip to the Mekong?_____________________________________________________3 Where is the source of the Mekong and which sea does it enter?_____________________________________________________4 What can you see when you travel along the Mekong?_____________________________________________________5 What difficulties did Wang Kun and Wang Wei find about their journey?_____________________________________________________6 What do you think about Wang Kun and Wang Wei?_____________________________________________________2 Look at the following sentences from the text and explain them in your own words.1 She gave me a determined look – the kind that said that she would not change her mind.2 … my sister does not care about details.3 It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice grows.3 An attitude is what a person thinks about something. Write down Wang Wei’s and Wang Kun’s attitude to the trip. Then add your own opinion.4 Work in pairs. Imagine that you are Wang Kun and Wang Wei. Choose a paragraph from the passage and use the information to help you make up a dialogue.WANG WEI: You know, we’ve always wanted to do a long bike trip. Why don’t we go on one after we graduate from college?WANG KUN: That’s a good idea, …5 Compare the following sentences with different stresses and explain the meaning.EXAMPLE: We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China.→Not only my sister, but also I was surprised to learn that.We were both surprised to learn that half the river is in China.We were both surprised to learn that half the river is in China.We were both surprised to learn that half the river is in China.Learning about languageDiscovering useful words and expressions1 Find the correct words or expressions from the text for each sentence.1 He is so stubborn that no one can persuade him to do anything.2 A determined person always tried to finish the job, no matter how hard it is.3 My grandpa is fond of fishing and sometimes he fishes all day in the river.4 Liu Xiaoding is a good teacher and cares about his students very much.5 I prefer the red dress to the green one because it fits me better.6 The concert went like clockwork because Li Pei had organized it so well.7 I wanted to pay the train fare, but my friend insisted. Finally I gave in.8 She persuaded all of us to cycle to work instead of taking the bus.2 Choose the correct words or phrases to complete the sentences.1 As neither of them would give in, no decision was taken that day.

(make up one’s mind/ change one’s mind)3 Complete this passage with some of the following words.rapids glacier mountain delta plain valley waterfall bankI really enjoyed my school field trip in geography two months ago. We saw so many beautiful things: a glacier that flowed like a river of ice through a valley that cut the mountains into two parts. We also discovered a river that was falling off the mountain and become a beautiful waterfall. This is even more exciting to see than the rapids where the water seemed to boil. Later we followed the river to a quieter plain and finally into a delta and the sea.Discovering useful structures1 Look at the questions in the Warming Up again. They are in the present continuous tense but they express future actions. Can you find similar sentences from the reading passage?_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2 In the following dialogue, a newspaper reporter is interviewing Wang Wei about her plans for the trip along the Mekong River. However, they are not sure about some of the verb tenses. Please complete their conversation.R: Miss Wang, I hear that you ______ (travel) along the Mekong River. Have you got everything ready?W: Almost.R: So when ___ you _____ (leave)W: Next Monday.R: How far ___ you ____ (cycle) each day?W: It’s hard to say. If the weather is fine, I think we’ll be able to ride 75 km a day.R: What about the weather in Qinghai Province?W: The weather forecast is not good so we ______ (take) a large parcel of warm clothes with us.R: Where ____ you _____ (stay) at night?W: Usually in our tent, but sometimes in the villages along the river bank.R: What happens if you have an accident?W: Don’t worry. I had some medical training at my college. Besides, we _____ (take) out insurance to cover any problems.R: Well, it sounds fun. I hope you’ll have a pleasant journey. Thank you for your time.3 You have got some plans for the future. Use the present continuous tense to express your future. Use the present continuous tense to express your future actions. Give as much information as you can.EXAMPLE: (this morning) I’m going out this evening. / I’m not doing anything this morning. / I don’t know what I’m doing this evening.1 (tomorrow morning)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2 (the day after tomorrow) _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________3 (next Saturday evening) _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________4 (next month) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Using LanguageReading and discussingJourney down the MekongPart 2 A Night in the MountainsAlthough it was autumn, the snow was already beginning to fall in Tibet. Our legs were so heavy and cold that they felt like blocks of ice. Have you ever seen snowmen ride bicyclesThat’s what we looked like! Along the way children dressed in long wool coats stopped to look at us. In the late afternoon we found it was so cold that our water bottles froze. However, the lakes shone like glass in the setting sun and looked wonderful. Wang Wei rode in front of me as usual. She is very reliable and I knew I didn’t need to encourage her. To climb the mountains was hard work but as we looked around us, we were surprised by the view. We seemed to be able to see for miles. At one point we were so high that we found ourselves cycling through clouds. Then we began going down the hills. It was great fun especially as it gradually became much warmer. In the valleys colourfulbutterflies flew around us and we saw many yaks and sheep eating green grass. At this point we had to change our caps, coats, gloves and trousers for T-shirts and shorts.In the early evening we always stop to make camp. We put up our tent and then we eat. After supper Wang Wei put her head down on her pillow and went to sleep but I stayed awake. At midnight the sky became clearer and the stars grew brighter. It was so quiet. There was almost no wind – only the flames of our fire for company. As I lay beneath the stars I thought about how far we had already travelled.We will reach Dali in Yunnan Province soon, where our cousins Dao Wei and Yu Hang will join us. We can hardly wait to see them!1 Read the passage above and discuss these questions in pairs.1 What items are Kun and Wang Wei carrying with them What do you thinkthey will have to leave behind in DaliWhat should they take instead?2 How does Wang Kun feel about the trip now What do you think changed his mind2 Imagine that in the morning there is a dialogue between Wang Kun and Wang Wei. What do you think they would say before they leave camp?3 Listen to the tape and mark the rising and falling tone of each sense group and sentences from “To climb the mountains…” to “… T-shirts and shorts”. Then practice reading it aloud.Listening and speaking1 Before you listen, read the exercises below and try to predict what the listening is about.2 Listen to the tape and tick the statement which tells the main idea of the dialogue.A A girl from Laos told Wang Kun about how Laotians use the Mekong River.B A girl told Wang Kun about what they would see along the Mekong River.C A girl from Laos told Wang Kun about how important and beautiful the Mekong is.3 Listen again and complete the passage below.The Mekong is the most important river in Laos. It even ______ on the national______ of the country. Laotian people use the river for ______, ______ and ______ goods and people around the country. They call the Mekong “the ______ of Laos”, but in Tibet people call it “the water of the ______ ”. If you follow the river in Laos, you can visit temples, caves and a ______. At night, you can sleep in some small ______ by the river.4 What else would you expect Wang Kun and the girl to talk about Get into pairs and continue the dialogue between them.
