My Life at Renda

1 learned very quickly that being a teaching assistant (TA) at the University of Iowa would be differen from a teacher at Renmin University_______(46) Eyes staring, mouths open, students examining my big nose, hands nerv0us,people whispering while I wrote my name on theblackboard.

At Iowa, when my first classes began, half my students still hadn&39;t arrived. When everyone finally found a seat, ringing cellphones and loud yawns (哈欠) interrupted my opening remarks. It is not that American students were disrespectful. ______ (47) They were, however, far more skeptical than the students I had at Renda. The truth is I couldn&39;t fault them for their skepti- cism. Undergraduates at large US universities--especially freshmen and sophomores--often have several classes a semester handled by TAs. In some. cases, the TA sets the course content. ______ (48) Most have good intentions, but only a few are as effective as flesh-and-blood pro- fessors.

Every teacher has to confront obstacles to learning--no matter what the culture. Students who talk during lectures, students who cheat, students who question the grade they get for a paper or project dealing with these is all part of the job. ______ (49)

The difference, I think, is that in the US I had to swallow more of my pride.______ (50) I had a responsibility to teach them, of course, but I had to do so indirectly as a guide who himself had a few things to learn from the students.

A．Back at Renda, I had walked into my first classes feeling like a celebrity.

B．In my students&39; minds, I had little to offer them, except perhaps some sample questionsfor the mid-term exam.

C．In others, the TA works as a grader and discussion leader.

D．I encountered these in China, and I faced them in the US.

E．On the other hand, being taught by a graduate student is not necessarily bad.

F．Most were polite, or at least, indifferent.

Knitting

My mother knew how to knit(编织)，but she nevertaught me．She assumed，as did many women of her generation，that knitting was nolonger a skill worth passing down from mother to daughter．A combination offeminism(女权主义)and consumerism(消费主义)made many women feel that such homelyaccomplishments were now out of dale．My Grandmother still knitted，though。andevery Christmas she made a pair of socks for my brother and me，of red woo1．Theywere the ones we wore under our ice skates(冰鞋)，when it was really important tohave warm feet．

Knitting is a nervous habit that happens tobe productive．It helped me quit smoking by giving my hands something else to do．Itis wonderful for depression because no matter what else happens。you are creating something beautiful．Timespent in front of the television or just sitting is no longer time wasted．

I love breathing life into the patterns．It'strue magic，finding a neglected，do9—eared old book with the perfect snowflakedesign，buying the same Germantown wool my grandmother used，in the exact blue tomatch my daughter's eyes，taking it on the train with me every day for twomonths。working enthusiastically to get it done by Christmas，staying up lateafter the stockings are filled to sew in the sleeves and weave in the ends．

Knitting has taught me patience．I know thatif l just keep goin9。even if it takes months．there will be a reward．When l makea mistake，I know that anger will not fix it，that I just have to go back andtake out the stitches(针脚)between and start over again．

People often ask if l would do it for money,and the answer is always a definite no．In the first place。you could not pay meenough for the hours I put into a sweater．But not'e important．this is anactivity l keep separate from such considerations．1 knit to cover my childrenand other people I love in warmth and color．1 knit to give them something earthlythat money could never buy．

Knitting gives my life an alternative rhythmto the daily deadline．By day I can write about Northern Ireland or the New YorkCity Police Department and get paid for it，but on the train home，surrounded bypeople with laptops，I stage my little rebellion．I take out my ole knitting but inthe centuries of women who have knitted for love．

根据材料请回答下列各 I remember clearly the last time I cried. I was twelve years old, in

the seventh grade, and I had tried out for the junior high school basketball team. I walked into the gym; there was a piece of paper on the wall. It was ,a cut list. The boys whose names were on the list were welcome to keep on coming to practices. The boys whose names were not on the list had been cut; their presence (出席 ) was no longer desired． I had not known the cut was coming that day．I stood and stared at the list．The list had not been made with a great deal of consideration；the names of the very best players were at the top，and the other members of the team were listed in what appeared to be a descending(下降)order of basketball skills．I kept looking at the bottom of the list，hoping against hope that my name would appear if I looked hard enough． I held myself together as l walked out，but when I got home I began to cry．For the first time in my life．I had been told officially that l wasn’t good enough．Sports meant everything to boys that age；if you were on the team，it put you in the desirable group．If you were not，you might as well not be alive． All these years later，I remember it as if l were still standing right there in the gym．I don’tknow how the mind works in matters like this；I don’t know what went on in my head following that day of cut．But I know that my determination has been so strong ever since then；I know that for all of my life since that day．I have done more work than I had to be doin9，put in more hours than I had to be spending．I don’t know if all of that came from a determination never to allow my’self to be cui again--never to allow someone to tell me that Im not good enough again--but I know it’s there．And clearly it’s there in a lot of other successful men too… From the text we learn that the cut list had names of pupils__________．

A.who were still in the team

B.who were the old players

C.who were hard—working

D.who were too young to play
