I started to think about the ways that my students act and speak, and the way I acted and spoke during my time at university. I will admit that I didn’t do all of the readings, and yes, I may have missed a couple of lectures throughout the year, but I completed all assignments and followed the guidelines presented to me, without expecting my lecturers to chase after me. I wish I could say the same for my students.
As I walked through the car park with a colleague at the end of the day, we discussed the unrest(不安)that the posters had caused:\said,\are going to need a customer services department before long.\there it was, plain and simple, the issue that I hadn’t been able to explain: these young people weren’t behaving like university students, they were behaving like customers. I recalled the student who told me he was disappointed with his low grade because he had\so much money\My colleague topped it: when one of his students was asked to leave a seminar for not completing the reading, he responded:\pay you to teach me what’s in the article, not the other way around.\ Last week I sent out the first round of grades for a module and had 12 emails of complaint within an hour. One in particular stood out for its misunderstanding of what it means to be a scholar. The student said the grade must be incorrect because he had turned up to all the lectures — as if simply hoping what I had taught him deserved a 70+ grade. As I attempted to make a polite and supportive response, I considered a few things. When did it become an expectation that turning up to lectures is worthy of reward in itself? Moreover, when I was studying would I have ever had theballsto contact my lecturers and not only question their ability to grade my work appropriately but imply that my low grade was their fault? I find that as time goes by, my students become increasingly reluctant to engage in any academic behavior that does not have a direct effect on their assignment grade. That is, after all, what they are paying for. And so I am not regarded as an academic. I am not an expert in my field, a person with 10 years’ worth of industry knowledge. I am a service provider.
I wish I’d had the gusto(热忱)to reply to those posters.\student — all I’m asking for is a little respect, seeing how much you pay makes no difference to my wages, yet the level of support I am forced to offer you takes up 80% of my time in spite of the fact that
teaching is still only equal to 33% of my workload. But I’ll be in the office until 9 pm anyway because if I don’t publish two papers by the end of the year, I’ll be fired.\32．What did the students really want to say through the flyer campaign?
A.They hoped less homework would be given. B.They were upset about what they had done. C.They wanted to be respected by their teacher. D.They received much less than they had expected.
33．What the author’s colleague said actually implies that .
A.university students have gone too far B.he faces a lot of challenges from his students
C.university students think little of their teachers D.university teachers face more pressure nowadays
34．Among students complaining to the author, the one standing out questioned his score because .
A.he paid the author more B.he used to get good grades C.he had studied very hard D.he had attended every lecture 35．Why do students now show less respect for teachers?
A.They are spoiled and impolite. B.They consider their teachers unqualified. C.The teaching style doesn’t appeal to them. D.They think it’s they that pay their teachers.
第二部分 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Importance of Accessibility Awareness
At a recent Teen Leadership of Jewish Family Services meeting, people with disabilities talked about their lives. 36 However, what amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap accommodations (残疾人便利设施).
One school-teacher who is blind, and a woman who has used a wheelchair all her life are two important members of the National Group for Disabled Persons, devoted to raising awareness about disabilities. 37 These include handicap parking spots, handrails, and
wheelchair ramps. One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. 38 And the meeting focused on educating the public.
Some handicap spots have extra room next to them, marked with the “No Parking” signs. “As long as I'm not in the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it,” some people say. However, the woman who uses a wheelchair disagrees to this. The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car. 39
Some walkways have handrails next to them to help those who require extra assistance. Whether it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is there for walking. Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance, and consequently made useless. 40 People who are informed of the rail’s use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack.
Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about accommodations made me see that there is work to be done. If more people were educated about the proper uses of accommodations, there would be fewer challenges for people with physical disabilities.
A. Accommodations will vary according to the needs of the disabled.
B. As with the parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education. C. They educate about all the accommodations for people with disabilities. D. Improvement must be made so that disabled people can fully participate. E. If there is a car in that space, the handicap parking spot is no longer useful. F. So people without disabilities need to be educated about these accommodations. G. I was amazed to hear about the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities.
