To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to 1 the attention and interest of your students, you must be a 2 speaker, with a good, strong, 3 voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 4 what you are teaching, insgroupsto make its meaning clear. 5 a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still 6 his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his 7 ,hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.Listen to him, and you will 8 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always 9 according to what he is 10 about.The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't 11 that he will indeed be able to act 12 on the stage, for there are very important 13 between the teacher's work and the actor's.The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the 14 words each time he plays a certain part. 15 his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually 16 before hand.What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 17 on the stage.
A good teacher 18 in quite a different way.His students take an active part in his 19 : they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't obey something, they will say no.The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students, which is in his class.He can not learn his part by heart, but must 20 it as he goes along.
I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but unable to take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn't keep discipline: they could not keep strictly to what another had written.

Cloze Test 37
1.【答案】B
【解析】根据语意，要做一名优秀教师，你需具备一个优秀演员的天赋，你必须能引起学生的注意力和兴趣，且使之持久。Hold具有此意。Pay attention to“对引起……注意”，但本句中用了the，搭配错误。
2.【答案】A
【解析】与下句中的a good strong—voice相一致的应是clear。
3.【答案】D
【解析】pleasing意为“愉悦的，使人高兴的”。
4.【答案】A
【解析】根据教学内容进行表演可以使学生更明白。
5.【答案】C
【解析】Listen和look后接宾语时，应分别和to, at连用。oberve语法正确，但意义过于严肃，只有watch在意义语法上均正确。
6.【答案】B
【解析】传统的教学方式是，无论教师上课还是学生自习，教师一直坐在教室前面以监视学生，这样做制约着学生的思维和活动，而在注意培养学生思维方式和动手能力的今天，这种传统的教学方式已渐渐被人放弃。7.【答案】D【解析】从上文可知，教师借动作来表情达意，解释教学内容。
8.【答案】A
【解析】listen to表示“听”的动作，hear则表示听的结果。这里指听到老师上课时那抑扬顿挫，悦耳动听的讲课声。
9.【答案】B
【解析】指声音频度的变化。
10.【答案】A
【解析】声调随讲课内容的变化而变化。say意为“说，表达”及物动词，强调说的内容。talk“谈话，说”可作及物动词也可作不及物动词，此处talk指讲课。
11.【答案】D
【解析】mean“意味着”。
12.【答案】C
【解析】act为实意动词。应用副词修饰，首先可排除A；B项badly“恶劣地，非常地”，D项actively“活跃地”两项均与题意不符。
13.【答案】B
【解析】There are differences between…and…“与……之间有区别”。
14.【答案】B
【解析】演员只须将事先背好的台词说出来就可以了，也就是说演员所说的话和剧本台词是相同的，故用the same。
15.【答案】D
【解析】台词甚至演员表演时的动作，运用嗓子的方法都是事先安排好的。在此处表递进关系。
16.【答案】C
【解析】在此处意为“安排”。
17.【答案】A
【解析】演员们所做的是把所准备的台词动作在舞台上自然地表演出来。
18.【答案】B
【解析】教师的工作与演员的表演是截然不同的。这里与上文形成对比。
19.【答案】C
【解析】take an active part in意为“在……中起着积极的作用”，因本题讲的是教师与学生，故应用class。
20.【答案】A
【解析】教师不可能把所有要讲的内容全背下来，但他必须根据教学内容创造性地进行教学。discover“发现”指原本存在。
